951. Aquarium Plants and Lighting Mini-Guide By John Morris
     Aquarium plants are as important to aquariums as water is to fish. Aquarium plants add more life to aquarium and make it to look beautiful while completing the aquarium community structure.The most important thing to bear in mind with plants is to form an attractive background, leaving ample space so the fish can swim undisturbed and be seen.

953. Acclimating New Birds By Marilu Anderson
     Now that my services have expanded into the "matchmaking" business, it dawned on me that we need to talk about the transition of a bird moving to a new home, whether a hand fed baby just adopted to a new home or an older bird going to a second home. This is a stressful time for any bird, but you can help lessen the strife and make the move easier for both your new bird and the rest of the family.Good planning ahead of time is essential. A pet parrot should NEVER be an impulse buy. Adopting a c…



954. Dog Training For Desired Behaviors By Jeff Rose
     Teaching a dog proper behavior while it is young is very important. While playing and having fun with your new puppy or dog is certainly important, it is also important to teach your canine companion just what is expected – which behaviors are acceptable and which behaviors are not acceptable.Teaching these lessons early, while the dog is still a puppy, is the best guarantee that these lessons will be learned and retained. Dogs learn quickly, and every interaction between human and dog is te…



955. Cat-ostrophic By Kenneth Hoffman
     Through the years, anyone who had a cat for a pet knows that they can keep you in stitches with the antics they perform. Here are a few amusing anecdotes I have collected.Mushi lived in Germany during World War II and even though she was well loved, food was hard to come by. Table scraps, sausage casings and an occasional fish head was all she got. One Christmas season, after the tree was decorated, the lady of the house came down hard on her two children, ages four and six."You have a hec…



956. Puppy Basics: Potty-Training, Reprimanding, and Rewards...
     Potty Training Your Puppy:Make sure you feed your dog at regular times every day as this makes bathroom breaks regular as well. Feed your puppy 2-3 times a day. As soon as he is finished eating, take him to a grassy 'potty area'. Speak the words 'go potty' or 'go in the grass' before and while he is eliminating. Be sure to praise him when he is done. What you are doing is building word associations with the dog that will allow you to encourage his potty activity on command. This comes in handy w…



957. But My Pet Will Never Run Away (or Why We Need Licenses) By Louise Louis
     The city I live in just increased its fees for dog and cat licenses. It's now $30 a year for unneutered/unsprayed pets and $20 a year for sprayed/neutered pets.Even though these are not major dollars, there were plenty of complaints. Some people consider the increase (we were at $5) just a way to raise more money during budget cuts. Some people who keep their pet - especially their cat - inside all the time think it is unfair to make them pay at all.Please remember that licensing your pet …

969. Tips for Introducing Two Cats By Kathy Burns-Millyard
     Adding a new member to your feline family is usually more exciting for you than your current cat. Even though they are solitary by nature, most cats eventually learn to accept or at least tolerate newcomers. Because they are very territorial, the way you go about introducing the new cat to your existing cat can mean the difference between success or "cat-astrophe."The introduction process can take as little as 10-12 days for kittens and very young cats, to as long as 12 weeks for older cats.…



970. How To Stop Your Dog From Barking – Training Your Dog To Keep Quiet By Tomkin Coleman
     Quieting a barking dog is a quick and easy process. Really. It also doesn’t cost any money. But it’s not an obvious process - witness the many dogs barking all the time in parks, backyards on street corners, with their owners tugging at their leash and yelling at them and the dogs completely ignoring their commands. My dog was driving me crazy until I learned how to stop his barking.My dog barked and whined all the time, and it was a breed (husky), that was known for making a lot of noise…

972. Uses for Dog Crates
     If you own dogs, chances are you’ve either used or considered using dog crates for puppy training. Or you’ve planned a trip and wanted to take your best friend along and thought about them as pet carriers.

975. Shih Tzu - Obedient Shih Tzu Make Better Companions And Are Happier By Connie Limon
     There are of course many reasons for owners to want a calm, obedient and faithful shih tzu. For one thing, obedient and trained shih tzus are happier shih tzus, less likely to get into tussles with people or with other dogs. Another reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their neighborhoods be well trained. This is especially true for many breeds thought to have aggression and behavior problems – dog breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers for instance.And of course, tra…
