The Family Pet Zone is the place that you can
come for information and fun regarding your pets.
Many of us regard our pets as full-fledged members
of our families. Here in the Family Pet
Zone we will explore some of the things that make our pets special,
take a look at things other pet families have found that make their
lives easier and more fun for both people and pets. Special
equipment, activities, health issues and other areas of interest
will be explored.
Our
articles and advertisers want you to have happy and healthy
well-adjusted pets. This is why we advocate learning as much as
possible about your particular pet. All animals need exercise,
affection and boundaries. This is not just for them but for you. If
your pet rules the household you will not be happy. If you do not
provide for your pets needs your pet will be unhappy and
can turn destructive, chewing up household goods or
themselves or snarling at or trying to bite our friends. In
order to keep both ourselves and our pets happy we need to combine
our lives and needs to work for our mutual good. This can be quite
an adventure and on the way you may discover new friends and
interests and have a great deal of fun. If you have a friend who is
attending an obedience, tracking, agility or freestyle class with
their dog ask if they are having fun, I bet you will get an
enthusiastic YES!
Sometimes we come up against problems that we do not know how
to handle and hopefully our articles and advertisers will be able
to provide some help. Always check with your veternarian if your
animals behaviour suddenly changes for the worse. There could be a
physical problem that is causing the change. If your animal checks
out as healthy look further and hopefully our site will
help.
We showcase
Karen Pryor
Clickertraining on this site
because it works. If you stick with it you
can increase communication between yourself and your
pets. Karen Pryor's reasonably priced
Getting Started Clicker Training Kits
cover puppies, dogs, cats, horses and birds. Of
course a clicker training class is the best way to learn but if
that is not possible the kits are a great way to
go.
