You got yourself the long desired puppy. There’s no doubt about it, she is the most adorable thing you have ever seen in your life. The playfulness and the clumsiness alone are reason enough to melt even the toughest hearts.

However, there are some things you should know and prepare for. One of them is related to the “toilet issue” as I like to call it. The thing is that for the first few weeks of their lives puppies do not have control of their bladder or of their sphincter. In other words, when they need to go, they just do it, because it is impossible for them to hold anything in. this is why you should never get frustrated with your puppy, even if the learning process seems to last longer than expected. read more

If your puppy has already reached the age of six weeks, then it’s high time you start training it. If you don’t plan on making a show dog out of her, then the training process shouldn’t be anything fancy and you most definitely can do it yourself.

Training your dog is crucial, not necessarily because of all the new things she is going to learn, but because during training you have the perfect chance to gain her respect. An owner who doesn’t have the respect of his dog doesn’t actually own the dog, because the latter has already assumed the position of the alpha. He does what he wants when he wants to with a complete and utter disregard of what you tell her. read more

We all know the perpetual war between cat and dog owners or, better said between cat and dog persons. The world seems to be divided between these two categories, and there rarely seems to be an in between. Well, as a person who has owned both cats and dogs I believe that I am more than qualified to settle this argument once and for all.

The important thing to know is that both cats and dogs are amazing pets. They both have some clear upsides. To begin with, the great thing about cats is that they are incredibly independent. This should be understood in the most literal way possible. Cats do not depend on you and the sooner you get this, the better your relationship will be. They don’t necessarily need your attention, they don’t need you to walk them and, at some extent, if we are talking about cats that are also allowed to go outside, they don’t even depend on you when it comes to food.
