If you want to keep your dog safe and at the same time stylish, then you might want to get your pooch a personalized dog collar. Dog tags are easy to fall off but personalized collars can be engraved with all useful information that would come in handy in case your pet gets lost or gets into an accident. Hundreds of lost dogs were able to reunite with their owners just because their contact information were printed on their collar and such is reason enough for you to get your dog his or her own personalized collar.

What a Personalized Dog Collar Should Have

A good personalized do collar should be durable, non-toxic, easy to clean and good looking for your dog. You should be able to easily put information that can be used in the undesirable chance that your dog gets lost. Most importantly, the personalized collar should perfectly fit your dog; otherwise it would not be a personalized at all.

Materials for the Personalized Dog Collar

Most personalized dog collars are made of nylon or leather with either snap-on or buckled locks. Be sure to test snap-on closures because some of them might not securely be fastened to your dogs neck. Usually, larger dogs would need buckled personalized collars for more security.

Depending on your dog's breed and size, you may need to get an adjustable personalized dog collar so that it can grow with him or her as he or she grows from a puppy to a full-sized dog. Some nylon dog collars can be woven with your pooch's name with your contact information. Others have metal tags that are attached as pendants with vital information engraved for reference purposes.

If you walk your dog at night, you might also want to get reflector or glow-in-the-dark materials. With such, you would be able to easily spot your dog in case it gets away during your night walks.

Choosing the Right Collar for Your Dog

When shopping for a personalized dog collar you have to bring your dog with you to have the collar fit. The collar should be loose enough for you to fit three fingers between the collar and the neck if your dog is large, two fingers if your dog is medium and one finger if your dog is small. If the personalized collar is too loose, it would easily slip off. Conversely, if the collar is too tight, it might choke your dog and cause gagging asphyxiation.

If you want to get a collar for training purposes, a personalized dog collar may not be a good choice since training needs different collar features. Consult a professional dog trainer about training collars.

You might want to look at personalized dog collars that can work with body harnesses, especially for toy dogs or puppies. With a body harness, you can pull the leash without risks of choking. Instead of tightening the neck, the harness would tighten around the chest, providing you with control without causing strain on your dog's back or neck.

Generally, leather is a good choice of material for the personalized dog collar because it is quite stylish and ages well. However if your dog is a chewer, leather might not be a good choice because leather can deteriorate with constant nibbling and moisture from saliva. Whatever material for the personalized dog collar you choose, you should check it regularly, at least every month, to see if there are signs of damage due to chewing or other factors. Replace damaged collars immediately to make sure that it would not fall off easily from your dog.

Personalized dog collars are good for many reasons especially for safety and aesthetic purposes. Choose your dog's personalized collar well to ensure that your dog not only looks good but is kept safe all the time. Personalized dog collars are usually available at your leading pet shop or pets supplies store. You may also want to try out shopping for dog collars online.

Pet dogs are great companions and it just rightful to provide your pooch with safety as well as beauty. A personalized dog collar can provide these both. So grab one now!

Single Door
Does this sound right? Is there a cheaper way to get a single door installed?

I want to replace an old door that measures 34” x 80” and is 2” thick. At the local Lowe’s I saw a door that measured 34” x 80” for $280 and installation $320. I also liked a screen that was around $280. and installation $120.
I was told that I had to pay $40, non refundable but applied to order for someone to come measure my doorways.
I am being told that the doorway measures 34.5” x 80.5” and the door way is 5” wide, in which the universal width is 4”. The sales person states that I have to special order the door and screen that will cost $698 for each the door and screen and the installation will increase greatly.
Does this make sense? (I got an estimate to make a wider opening and install a better quality glass sliding door that is cheaper than trying to install a single door and screen via Lowe’s!)

Shop around. However make sure whomever you choose is licensed and bonded. Take a look at their past work, also check out the other big box store, Home Depot.One thing that Lowe's or Home Depot has over other contractors, especially the shady ones, is that you know you'll have some sort of recourse if your not happy with the project.

With the plethora of commercial door closers on the market, it can be difficult to determine what to type to install.  Styles and costs range from a few hundred dollars to over one thousand per unit.  Careful consideration must be given to the needs of your business and your commercial building.  After all, the investment that you'll make is significant.

Commercial door closers are found on almost every commercial building in North America.  Often they are a requisite of local building codes.  Door closers are installed not just as a matter of convenience.  Their main purpose, especially with exterior and utility doors, is to prevent the spread of flames and smoke during a fire emergency.  A secondary benefit to installing door closers is to maintain building heating/cooling efficiency and indoor air quality.  On interior doors, door closers help contain noise and maintain temperature zones.

Commercial door closers come in both manual and automatic styles.  Manual closers don't use electricity.  Instead, they rely upon stored energy from applied force to close a door.  Automatic door closers (which are often referred to as automatic door openers) use electricity to open and close a door.  When deciding which style to use for your own business, consider these criteria:

1) Type of clientele.  Automatic door closers are ideal for handicapped persons and people with mobility limitations.  They require very little effort to activate.  Most models, such as those manufactured by LCN, have adjustable opening and closing speeds for customization according to your needs and those of your clients.  Since most buildings in North America must be handicap-accessible, automatic door closers are one easy solution.

2) The number of doors you need to outfit.  If your business has several public entrances, or one major entrance with several doorways, then cost will play a major factor in your decision.  Automatic door closers are more expensive than manual ones.  Outfitting every single door with an automatic model could test your budget.  Instead, you may choose to install them on only one or two of your doors and choose manual door closers for the rest to maximize your budget.  However, if you have only one door for public use, an automatic door closer is probably your best choice.

3) Power usage.  Naturally, automatic door closers will add to your monthly electric bill. 
Again, it's recommended that at least one door be outfitted with an automatic model.  This probably won't make a significant dent in your power usage.  Two or more will, so install them wisely, and choose efficient models.  Of course, power failures will affect the performance of automatic door closers.  However, most are made with the capability to allow doors to be opened manually as well, meaning that you won't lose an entrance during a power outage.

4) Interior mobility.  You may need to install automatic door closers on one or more interior doors as well.  Again, it depends on your clientele, staff and how your building is used and navigated.

Automatic door closers are extremely convenient and installing them on at least one exterior entry door shows your clients and staff that you care.  It also makes good economic sense, since building accessibility is a contributing factor to your profit margin.  A careful assessment of your commercial building can help you decide the best doors on which to install automatic door closers.  Community organizations and committees that deal with accessibility issues often have resources that can help you in your assessment.

Dry Dog
How do I get my dog to eat his dry dog food?

He will not eat his dry puppy chow dog food unless there is wet food in it. He is really thin because he won't eat. We tryed Science Diet too and he ate that but it' expensive should we go with the scince diet since he eats it?

You will need to feed him on a schedule twice a day. Offer him his food in the morning. Whatever he doesn't eat, remove after 20 minutes. Don't offer him anything else until his dinner feeding. Do the same thing at dinner, removing it after 20 minutes. Eventually he will get hungry and catch on that he must eat when it is offered.

Both of the foods you mentioned are not any good. Grocery store dog foods are full of corn, by-products, rendered meats, artificial flavors, sugar, and carcinogens.

I reccomend Blue Buffalo, what I feed, which you can find at PetSmart stores. There are also other dog foods out there of even higher quality, such as Innova, Evo, Timberwolf, Orjein, and Solid Gold. Here are some websites that will help you choose a better dog food:

http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?…

http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/

http://dogfoodchat.com/

On a healthy dog food, you will feed much less than on a low-quality food, making the bag last longer. In the end the price evens out.

Good luck!

When you start searching for organic dry dog food for your pet, you are certain to find a variety of pet food. One brand you will come across is the Pure Woof Gold brand of foods. This brand is sold both online and through "parties." It comes with a stellar reputation and is backed by many personal testimonials. The company backs their dog food formula with a scientific formula that your pet is sure to enjoy. The all natural ingredients are selected from USDA ingredients selected for human consumption. This particular article will go into greater detail about the benefits of this brand and give it an overall review.

Pure Woof Gold's organic dry dog food is well tolerated by dogs and loved by dog owners. People enjoy giving their dog holistic food made from all natural ingredients and dogs love eating food that is free of chemicals. Many times, dogs who had allergies will no longer exhibit symptoms after switching. Since Pure Woof Gold only uses the best ingredients, dogs enjoy high quality food without toxic chemicals.

Benefits of Pure Woof Gold Organic Dry Dog Food:

•    When you buy organic dog food, it contains no harmful ingredients. This means no herbicides, no pesticides, and no chemicals. It uses all natural ingredients for your pet.

•    USDA approved meat - Some companies use animal by-products in their dog food. Now, I won't tell you what that is. However, if you have a strong stomach then you can go look it up for yourself. If you do not, then I suggest you stay away because it is just plain nasty. USDA approved meat is real meat rather than a by-product.

•    Organic - Pure Woof Gold uses organic ingredients for all their pet food. The use of organic farming techniques means your dog gets a safer product. It also means you are doing a favor for the environment. It is a win-win situation.

•    No preservatives - It is my philosophy that if I do not want it in my own food, then I do not want it in my dog’s food. Therefore, since I do not like preservatives in my food, I do not like preservatives in my dogs' food either.

Drawbacks of Pure Woof Gold Organic Pet Food –

No review would be complete without some drawbacks. While overall, this product is a great product. I must say there are a few things that I would change. You only have three options in the size. You can only get it in a 5, 15 and a 30-pound bag. This is not exactly the most convenient set of sizes for people like me who have several dogs. A 30-pound bag just does not last long enough. I also would like to buy dog food that comes in a re-sealable bag to retain freshness since there are no preservatives.

Daisy Flower Pet

Help - Name of vintage toy (simmilar to littlest pet shop)?

I was wondering if anyone knew the name of a toy I played with as a child. It was not littlest pet shop but a very similar idea, with both cats and dogs, they were plastic figurines, often the animal was doing something such as a dog names holly that had a stick in its moth, and a irish setter named either daisy or dixie which had a bouquet of yellow flowers in her mouth.

Sounds like Puppy/Kitty In My Pocket they had zoo animals too. I had them still have a kitty chaseing a butterfly.

If you have a home that is known to be haunted and you want to sell it, you may be in for a challenge. Some buyers have a strange dislike of ghosts, spirits, specters and any other paranormal phenomenon. You could try an exorcism, but will it work? Some ghosts may not be of the denomination of the religion you choose to engage to evict them from your home. Some may even be atheists. However, hope is nigh; many of these helpful tips will aid you in making the presence of your otherworldly roommates less obvious.

First of all, the outer appearance of your home is going to be the first impression that a buyer receives when he or she timidly tiptoes towards the door. Instead of the dark, forbidding atmosphere that encourages hauntings to proliferate, you should cultivate a modern, well-kept appearance. In fact, completely transform the exterior with landscaping, new paint or siding and different colors. Clear away the jagged, dead trees, especially those with a ‘hanging branch’. Plant pansies and daisies instead of deadly nightshade. Rake the leaves. Paint the house a cheerful color like white or yellow. Wash the windows. Replace the rusty iron gates with a white picket fence.

It’s a well-known fact that haunted houses are dark, nasty places with spiders the size of Shetland ponies cavorting across the carpets and rats frolicking on the banisters. Start your pest-control procedures at once! Whether it’s KillEmDead Rat Traps or Pete the Pest Pestilence Guy, get rid of your unwanted animal residents. When their pets are summarily disinvited to a residence, ghosts may well decide to pack their bags.

The interior of your haunted house is as important as the exterior. Instead of the darkness and gloom that spirits flourish in, it’s time for the white, yellow, blue and green with pops of red, orange and purple to come out and brighten things up. Strive after light, bright and airy. Make sure the electrical system and the lights in your home are well-maintained and serviced. If there is a particular room causing you trouble, strip it to the bones and start aggressively redecorating with lots of white paint and hard-to-kill houseplants.

It is best to put away all decorations involving armor, weapons, odd books on how to butcher after dark, your voodoo doll collection and that mysterious curio that you picked up out of a junk shop on your travels in rural China, despite the proprietor’s incomprehensible warning. Staging your home with a minimal amount of furniture, fresh flowers and tasteful artwork of landscapes and fruit bowls is the best way to confuse ghosts and make them wretchedly uncomfortable.

Minimizing the presence of ghosts on your haunted property can be a challenge, but by renovating and staging your home, you can make the house less redolent of spirits. This may require a fair amount of time and cash outlay, but in the end you will be in possession of a home that does not immediately elicit images of headless horsemen and that old story going around about that person who was in that house that time.

Barking Dog
What to do when neighbor complains about barking dog?

My neighbor works at night and sleeps during day time. The complain is that my dog barks during day time disrupting her sleep. I already received a warning from the city.
Due to this I have bought a spray no bark collar for the dog to reduce the barking.

I would suggest going round to speak to your neighbour. Apologise about the problem and explain what you are doing to try and stop this to them.

Make sure you enrol your dog in a training class, and mention this to your neighbour. This way it shows you are trying to sort it

Dog Barking is, of course, a natural behavior for dogs. However, when the dog barking becomes endless, it can drive you crazy. That is the first sign that there is more than likely something wrong. A barking dog is usually trying to tell you something is wrong. Of course, sometimes it can be just a bad development of the dog's behavior. Either way, when you want to stop dog barking, there are a few different things that you can try. Remember, dogs are like people and not everything is going to work for every dog.

 

Dog Barking is not something that you are going to want to stop forever. After all, a barking dog is sometimes just trying to alert you or trying to tell you something is uncomfortable. So it's not that we want them to never bark again, but we want them to stop barking when we tell them to stop. This is why it's very important to train your dog the quiet command. All dogs are able to learn commands, it just takes time on our part to teach it to them. When working with your dog to stop dog barking (as well as dog biting), you have to know the right away to train them. This usually involves rewarding the good behavior (like when you tell the dog quiet, and it stops barking) and reprimanding the bad behaviors (in which they did not listen to your command).

 

So here is how you can teach your dog the quiet command to help stop dog barking. First, get your dog to start barking, which in this case should be pretty easy. After the dog barking starts, hold a treat over them and say the word quiet. It really does not matter which word you choose. However, whichever word you choose, you have to use it all the time. Then when the barking dog stops to sniff the treat, give it to him and praise him for being quiet. Then you can repeat this and every time keep the barking dog quiet for longer. Soon you will be able to use the quiet command without having a treat in your hand. Dog obedience takes time, but is important to establish guidelines of respect and understanding with your favorite pet.

 

Dog barking is something that is hard to live with, and you should not have to. So if the quiet command does not stop the barking dog, then you may have to go with different products that are made to help stop dog barking. Usually these are things that you put around their neck that gives them a small shock when the dog starts to bark. Living with dog barking is hard, but now you do not have to!

Using a choke collar with small dogs?

I have used choke collars for my positive/negative training form for a while. I have a friend who has an aggressive chihuahua and I was wondering if you should deal with an aggressive small dog the same way you would with a larger dog; with the use of a choke collar. Or does it being smaller make a difference, even though they come in the size fit for a chihuahua and the strength for such a dog.

If you are using a choke chain PROPERLY , key word being PROPERLY with only slight pops to correct the dog and never any other form of choking, then yes, a choke chain can technicaly be used with a small breed, although I prefer slip collars as they actually pop better and there are no chains to become tangled.

HOWEVER, I don't recomend you even think about training an aggressive chi yourself, especially if you have to ask how to properly use the training tools. Find an experienced trainer, and take it from there. Choke chains can be very affective, but only if used properly and in the right circumstances. With such a small dog you run a large risk of seriously injuring or killing the dog if you use a choke chain improperly. Each dog is different. Not all dogs respond to choke chains and similiar techniques. I don't even like using choke chains on smaller dogs. I think all other methods should be used first, because the risk is very high for injury if you use the choke chain incorrectly.

If you have a dog you know that a dog collar is a must to have. The dog collar will make sure the dog is safe if separated from its loving owner. The custom leather dog collar today reflects the personality of the dog. They also reflect the character and style of the owner. The reason for this is because the owner is the one who picks out the dog collar. When you get a dog, it wonÂ’t take long to get close to the dog. When this happens you will want him as unique with his accessories as he is to you.

Dog Owners are Picky People Even thought there are many dog accessories available when it comes to the dog collar, many dog owners are very picky and particular. There is good news though; you can have a custom leather personalized dog collar of your choice.

Why a Custom Leather Personalized Dog Collar The reason why you should consider creating your own custom leather dog collar is because you can design it and customize it as you choose. Then match your dog's personality and your wardrobe so you two can always be in style and that will display your love for your pet.Custom leather dog collars are strong and durable, which is yet another necessity when it comes to dogs because as we all know they play rough and that can bear its marks on the collar with time. Custom leather dog collars can have any inscription you want, for example, your dog's name, his or her date of birth, medical state and if any medication is needed in case of emergency and your phone number in case he or she gets lost.

Where to Get a Custom Made Personalized Leather Dog Collar Pet shops are the best choice as you can choose the material or even bring some of your own if you have an old belt you want to convert or a piece of leather you want to use for this purpose. You can also order a personalized leather dog collar online where you will be able to find a large variety. However, keep in mind shipping charges are always extra and that can make your bill go up.

Tips Here are some ideas to help you when you are considering ordering a dog collar. When you order your custom leather personalized dog collar, try to order two at the same time. This is going to save you some money on shipping and labor. Try to keep in mind the personality and size of your dog. Custom personalized leather dog collars are mostly used for medium to larger dogs. You usually donÂ’t see a leather dog collar on a small dog. But it really depends on the style and type of dog collar that you have in mind. The main thing to consider when buying a custom leather dog collar is that when the dog is wearing the collar he or she must be comfortable. It cannot be tight. Think if you had to wear a piece of leather around your neck all the time, you would want it to fit so you didn't even know you were wearing it.

Crates Kennel

I plan to purchase a yorkshire terrier pup. What is more preferable, a soft crate or small kennel?

It really depends on what you plan to use it for. For my puppy, I have both. I'll give you the run-down on the differences.

If you go with the "kennel" I would reccomend getting a metal one for a couple of reasons.

1) They're generally less expensive than the plastic ones.
2) Teething puppies can't chew on them.
3) They have more air flow which translates to less stink (after all they sleep in there)
4) On most the bottom tray can come out so if your puppy does have an accicent it's easier to clean up.
5) It will fold down flat if you want to move it somewhere.
6) petdreams.com sells really cute accessories to make it feel homey and still look stylish (the kits come with a mat, bumper, and cover)

The only disadvantage that I see to these is that the larger ones can be heavy.

The soft crates are nice too. There useful, but again it depends on what you're going to use it for.

1) They're NOT meant for dogs that have not been crate trained. If they have a accident it WILL be hard to clean up.
2) They're not meant for any dog that is going to be left in there for an extended period of time unattended. A dog is a dog, and they're only zippers.
3) They're really nice for travel. I've heard they're especially nice if you take you dog to dog shows. They're light and easy to pack (they usually come with their own carrying case.)

In the end, they're both going to work. I would suggest a metal crate because that's what works for my pup, but I'm sure you'll have success with whatever you choose.

Just remember, no matter how much the pup cries on the first few nights DON'T GIVE IN!!! Make him stay in there. If you do think he has to go to the bathroon... wait until he stops barking before you take him out. Otherwise he's training you!

Do you have an unruly pet chewing the legs off the couch? Do you have an inside pet that just will not house train? Do harsh weather elements limit you from housing your pet outside? Do you live in an apartment, but long for a pet? If the answer is yes... you might be interested in an indoor pet kennel.

Don't visualize an eyesore plastic crate. Those plastic pet boxes have come along way in the last five years. There is such a growing trend and demand for pet storage, that the designs have become functional and stylish. Pet kennels are being made to blend into modern décor. My friend recently visited my home and commented: "Oh, what a sleek end table! Is that cherry wood?" I giggled, as she looked rather confused. It wasn't until she heard my Boston Terrier bark from the "sleek end table," that she realized all wasn't what it seemed. You don't really loose that much space with an indoor pet kennel is made from wood. The flat top still affords you a place for a lamp, pictures, etc... The average cost is around $120.00. But, price largely depends on style, design, and quality of wood.

Another option is the steel kennel. They are not as stylish, but they have convenient functions. Some brands even collapse, for easy storage. Others, offer rolling wheels and removable bottoms. If you are planning on eventually transferring your pet outdoors or are switching from indoors to outdoors seasonally, a steel kennel is the best option. Weather elements will not damage or deteriorate the steel.

A third option is a plastic indoor pet kennel. It too can be switched from indoors to outdoors, but it will show weather wear. Some brands have wheels and removable bottoms.

The best time to introduce a pet to a kennel is when they are a puppy. However, it can be done at any age. Older dogs may take longer to adjust to the confinement. Patience and perseverance is the key to making this a happy experience for the pet. Introduce the older pet to the kennel slowly. Leave the pet in the kennel for thirty minutes. Do this for the first few times. Increase the time over the next few weeks. Eventually, the pet will seek out the kennel as a nap place and sanctuary... voluntarily.

To use an indoor pet kennel as a house breaking tool, you need to make sure the size of the kennel is not too big. Humans do not defecate or urinate where they sit or lay. Pets are not any different. If you give the pet too much room, they will defecate and urinate in the unused portions. The pet will learn to resist the urge and hold it until in an appropriate place. Housebreaking a pet this way is much more humane, than some of the alternate choices.

On the other hand, long periods of confinement is not compassionate. This turns the pets' new home into a prison and can actually worsen behavior problems. But, when used sensibly, kennels can be obliging to the owner and a safe haven for the pet.

Does anyone have any experience with LED (illuminated) dog collars?

If so, can you recommend a good brand (in terms of battery life, weight, water-resistance etc.)?

I bought my dogs human head lamps, and threaded them on to their collars. Works great. Based on the design, its probably even water proof (although I've not put it to the test). Cheaper and better quality than anything I've seen marketed for that purpose.

Another option is to put an LED blinker on your dog (the kind people get for biking). These are much cheaper(<$5), although they do tend to come off and get lost.

If you have trouble keeping track of your bird dog when hunting in heavy cover, then you might want to consider purchasing a beeper collar. Keeping track of you dog while hunting has always been a serious concern. Hunters have selected white dogs over the dark ones so that they are more easily observed in the brush. This obviously works well until it snows and your white dog disappears. In the past hunters used bells on the dogs to so they could hear where the dog is approximate located. If you are using a pointing dog the sound of the bell obviously stops when the dog goes on point. Then you must quickly remember where you last heard the bell and move in that direction prior to the flush of the bird.

Beeper collars have now replaced the use of bells on dogs. These collars have a speaker, amplifier and battery attached to the collar. They basically are designed to beep as the dog hunts but unlike bells will continue sound off even if the dog has quit moving. These innovative devices allow the dog handler to set the time between reports, the volume and even allow you to change the type of sound. You can have the collar give a hawk scream to freeze a running bird or gentle down a covey of quail with a quail call. The ability to change the tone and volume of the sound also helps people who have hearing problems. Adjusting the collar tone to one you can hear will allow you to hear the collar at a greater distance. An addition feature of many beeper collars is the ability program the collar to only beep when your dog is on point. A variation of this feature on some collars is the ability to start the on point beeping very softly, and then increases its volume so as not to prematurely flush the birds.

The safety of your dog is paramount when in the field. The use of a beeper collar can save your dogs life. Just knowing the location of the dog in relation to a road or highway will allow you to move your dog away from it. In addition if you hunt in areas that have rattlesnakes you know that sooner or later your dog is going to encounter one. When the dog runs over a snake it will begin to rattle. Most bird dog will ignore the snake and keep hunting however if you hear the beeper collar remain in the same area as the rattling then it is time to move the dog away quickly. Quick stimulation from an electronic dog collar will help ensure future snake avoidance. You should always inspect your dog closely after a snake encounter to make sure it was not struck. Placing the dog at heel and observing the animal for a short time is advisable. A number of years back while grouse hunting I lost sight of our English setter on a very windy afternoon. I spent an hour before I located her trapped in a barbed wire fence that became entangled with her collar. I might not have found her except for her beeper collar.

There are many brands and types of beeper collars on the market. The best ones allow you to make changes in sound and tone as well as various point and run features. No matter what collar you choose it should allow you to place the speaker on the dog's neck between the dog's ears. You do not need to distract your dog with the speaker blaring in its ear. Some of the best collars have the battery located on the opposite side of the collar that the speaker is on. This design places the battery on the dog's chest and the speaker at the back to the dogs head. According to beeper collar manufactures the sound of the beeper does not damage the dog's ears. New technology from Garmin GPS now allows you to keep track of your dog on a handheld GPS unit. These quiet tracking units are relatively expensive at $600. Hopefully the price of these units will come down over time but until then most bird hunters will have to be satisfied with beeper collars to keep track of their bird dogs.
