(ContentDesk) October 21, 2005 -- A new book, "Kippy: Second Chance Dog," is part story, and part training manual.
The first part is the story of a dog and the family that picks her out from the local shelter.
The story is fun to read, and also includes a lot of useful information.
Young children can have the story read to them, while older children can read it for themselves.
I encourage any family to use the book as a talking point both before and after they get a dog or puppy.The second part of the book includes a lot of training information, primarily geared towards older children and parents, although I encourage younger children to be included in the training."I recommend Kippy: Second Chance Dog to any family with children who want to introduce a new dog into the family.
This book is for the whole family to share and to learn how to train the dog, solve problems, and give each family member a role.
Susan Mann has done a great job explaining clicker training and this positive approach can be used even by children to help build a safe and loving bond with the family dog."Joan Orr M.Sc., President- Doggone Safe;Faculty Member- Karen Pryor Clicker Expo;Producer of Clicker Puppy DVD; and co-author of

How To Train A Dog To Stay
In this article I want to explain how to get your dog to stay. Most of the time, when you get up to leave out of a room, your dog will want to follow, especially if they're energetic. Sometimes you will want them to stay in one place.
The first thing you want to do is get a supply of dog treats. Take your dog into a quiet room and have him sit down. Hold out the dog treat in your hand, letting the dog know that you have it.
When the dog tries to take the treat, close your hand. Your dog should then pull his head back. When he does this, praise him and give him the treat.
Timing is very important for training your dog to stay. Repeat the process again. Keep doing it until the dog doesn't go for the treat, and instead pulls back immediately.
After the dog is consistenly pulling back each time you hold out the treat, you want to begin the next stage of the process.
Repeat the first step again, but wait two seconds after your dog...

Dog Containment Systems
Practically everyone has one pet or the other; a dog, cat, rabbit or even parrots. Rearing a dog not only includes feeding it regularly, but also on giving it correct training in various matters, including containment in restricted areas through the use of a dog containment system.
There are different forms of dog containment systems; the indoor containment system, the wire containment system and the wireless containment system. The indoor containment systems, as the name suggests, are for containing the dog while indoors. One can use pet gates which are available in different sizes, designed for use at the top or bottom of stairs, doorways and other openings.
Some are hardware-mounted and others are pressure-mounted. Using dog doors provides freedom to both you and the dog, as you can install it in such a way that the dog can let himself in and out on his own. Those having sliding patio doors can go for patio door panels that work like standard sliding doors. There...

Choosing Dog Tags for Your Canine
Remember when you first met your dog? He was fresh and new, and you were just getting to know each other. You went through training together, perhaps even ate together. With time, you and your dog became very close ? even closer than you are to a lot of people you know. Your dog is special to you. He might be your best friend, a rascally mischief-maker, or just an accessory to your lifestyle.
He depends on you for feeding, play, and discipline. You depend on him for companionship, a connection with the animal world, or household security and protection. For these reasons and more, you should protect your dog from harm, and yourself from loss, by getting him a dog tag.
Dog tags hang on your dog's collar and provide all the necessary information for calling your dog, contacting you as the owner, and alerting people to your dog's dietary restrictions. Some dog tags also include vaccination information, such as when your dog last received shots, and some municipalities...
