Crate training can be beneficial if you do it the right way. This article will explain how to go about crate training your dog or puppy in a way that they will enjoy and actually learn to love. Why it is important to crate train a puppy Crate training a puppy is one of those things that is very helpfully especially in the early stages of your puppies' life. Potty training your puppy with a crate is not something you should be doing to make your dog spend long hours at a time without having breaks. The more breaks you can give your puppy the better, the crate should be a tool to house your puppy, the crate will not and should not be the permanent home.

Tools you will need This is a no brainer; you will need to get your hands on a dog crate , preferably one tha

Teaching a puppy to potty outside is one of the most important things you will ever need to teach them. Especially if you plan on living with them for the long haul! I know I for one wouldn’t want to live in a home full of dog doo-doo! All joking aside potty training a puppy is a serious business, so serious in fact that 100s of thousands of puppies are dropped off at the pound because of their owners fail to potty train them. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a pretty shitty way to treat something you were supposed to love like your very own child. Let us jump straight to it, shall we!

Pitbull Grooming A timely task that is essential for the optimal health and happiness of your dog. Although many owners try, they are unable to achieve the shiny coat that they so badly desire due to lacking the knowledge of how to acquire it. Below we have presented some tips on how to attain a shiny coat, including the importance of diet, daily brushing, quality shampoo, and diagnosis of skin conditions. Pitbull Grooming Tip 1: Start with Good Nutrition Nutrition is the most vital starting point for a good, shiny coat and is perhaps the most overlooked.  The importance only multiplies as the dog ages.  Make sure your Pitbull’s diet is rich in nutrients, protein and essential fatty acids (particularly vitamin E, omega-6 and omega-3).

Mason the pit bulls story started back in the fall of 2009 November to be exact. A man was on a project that he hated. It was one of the most horrible projects that the man had ever taken on. This guy is a project manager for a Masonry company located around the Philadelphia area. The project was long and miserable the day it would end was nowhere in sight. He would have enjoyed never having to reflect back on that project ever! But what happened during the project made it all worth it in the end. Meeting Mason After along frustrating afternoon, the man was driving down the road leaving the jobsite for the day. Woods surrounded him on all sides at the end of the driveway he noticed some shadowy figures. At first he thought it was a group of wolves but then realized wolves don’t occupied Philadelphia, it was a pack of wild, raggy dogs. In the dim light he noticed about 6 or 7 of them, out of disbelief he noticed two more dogs. This time coming from the opposite direction, he though

Get a puppy; they said it would be fun they said! They failed to tell me how big of a pain in the rear it is to potty train a puppy! Hello There! My name is Melissa and today I wanted to tell you my story about a little rotten puppy named  Mazie ! Yup! Little Mazie had her mommy Melissa pulling her hair out! Every time I turned around, I would catch her peeing or pooping inside the house! I tried my best to take her out as much as possible in hopes that she would catch on. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well for us ha-ha. The breaking point for me was when the day I had been outside with Mazie for a good 2 hours! The weather was super nice, not to hot not to cold just one of those perfect days you know? She ran around after the kids, played with toys and basket in the sun; roaming the yard end to end! After we came inside, what did she do? She peed all over the carpet; I just looked at her and asked why? Why did you pee? You were just outside fo
