Get Your Dog To Stop Whining On Your Command

Article Title: Get Your Dog To Stop Whining On Your Command
Author: Zane Madisson

Do you find the dog whine annoying? It is annoying to many
people and you are not alone in your feelings. Dogs whine
because it is a part of their nature to do so. They are trying
to get your attention and this is one of the ways they can do
that. Is your dog neglected by any chance? Does it lack some
kind of shelter or protection? You should feed your dog on a
regular basis and make sure it is clean. Overlooking any of
these things can and will lead to problems.

A good thing to look out for is the moment your dog begins to
act up. Try and see if the activity is the same when your dog
whines. If this keeps happening, it must be something you are
doing, or something related to the activity taking place. If
the whining is taking place in a more random manner, then you
might have a harder time trying to come up with a solution.
Always make sure your dog has proper hygiene though.

Does it whine a lot or just a tiny bit? If your dog is whining
all the time then something is seriously wrong. But hey,
everyone and everything has their own mood and maybe your dog
is just in one of its moods. That could certainly be one of the
possibilities. One of the most common reasons the dog is whining
is because it wants food, and it wants it now. You should try to
stay clear of feeding your dog from the dinner table because
this is going to set a bad precedent.

Canines need to eat their own kind of food, dog food
specifically. But have no fear, as most of these problems are
just plain old common sense. It really is amazing how many
problems people do not pick up on. I hope this can be of some
help to one of you out there. Take care and all the best.

Why Have A Corgi In The Family?

Article Title: Why Have A Corgi In The Family?
Author: Kay Stevens

This is easily answered in two words - Unconditional Love. The
Corgi will love you no matter what. He will love you whether
you're rich or poor, famous or infamous, healthy or sick, young
or old, liked or disliked, caring or even uncaring, the Corgi
will be faithful to you. Where else could you find a love like
that?

About the Corgi

There are two types of Corgis, Cardigan Welsh Corgi and
Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Probably the best known is the Pembroke
Corgi made famous as The Queen's Dogs.

Because of this a lot of people think of a Corgi as being a
small nippy, yappy dog. This couldn't be further from the
truth. The Corgi doesn't yap - he barks.

Although the Corgi is a small dog (grows to approx. 25cm-30cm,
10"-12"), he is not a "small" dog. He is a big dog in a small
dog's body. He has a relatively normal body length but has
short legs.

The Cardigan Corgi has a normal length tail whilst the Pembroke
Corgi generally has a docked tail.

Training

The Corgi can be easily trained because he is naturally
intelligent. But at the same time he can be stubborn.

Health

No major worries. The main concern is weight (which applies to
us all). The Corgi does like his tucker so a sensible diet is
recommended. If you allow him to over-eat and he wacks on the
weight then that puts a strain on his back and hips. Average
lifespan is 12 - 15 years.

Grooming

The coat of the Corgi is reasonably dense but short. It is
easily brushed and doesn't require a lot of time spent to keep
him looking good.

So, Why Have a Corgi?

We know that he is loving, easily trained, doesn't take much
effort to groom and his health is generally good. One very
important point that hasn't been mentioned yet is his ability
to integrate into the family. The Corgi is extremely adaptable
to his surroundings.

You could have him on a large property where he can run around.
You could have him with kids who would play with him. Or an
elderly person could have a Corgi in an appartment where he
would be content just to sit and watch T.V.

To put it in a nutshell, he is VERSATILE.

You must consider all these points when choosing a dog breed
which will be suitable for your family.

Why would you NOT consider a Corgi for your family?
