My Pet Parrot

I think it is only fair to the parrot and you, if you are thinking of buying one, that you think long and hard about bringing a parrot into your household, as I have said before I love all parrots big and small and care very much for them.

I have had many other pets and will probably have them again in the future but if I do I will make sure that the introduced pet will compliment my friend I have now my pet parrot.

So on that basis when you decide to get a parrot think of all the requirements and adjustments your household will have to make and may need for your new pet.

Because Parrots come in sizes from the iconic red, blue and yellow macaw to small parakeets and many sizes in between but they are all in the same family; they have the same shape beak and generally have rich, bright plumage, and all require special care and accommodations and especially your love and personal care. more:

3 Secrets to Dog Training

By Craig Clemins

It seems that every week there's a new and amazing dog training method being taught. It's sometimes mind boggling to know where to begin. Over the years I have discovered what I believe are the Secrets to Dog Training, find out more about these in this brief article.

You might be surprised to learn that the underlying features of almost all dog training methods are the same. One thing that they all have in common is the effective use of positive reinforcement.

Secret number 1:

Dogs are at the peak of their learning potential when they are young, so train them as much as possible while they are still puppies! It's the easiest way to get quick results. Older dogs can learn new tricks but it will just take a little bit more time and practice.

Secret Number 2:

The best way to train your dog is to be firm but fair. Get to know your dog and build up a bonding relationship with him. Treat your dog with love and affection and your results will most likely be more effective than ever.

Secret Number 3:

Don't wait for a problem to arise. Teach your dog from a young age what is good behaviour so that you never need to correct bad behaviour! This is a great way to avoid unneeded behaviour problems.

If you want to get best results when training your dog, stick to the basics. Follow these three rules and be persistent, consistent and understanding. No dog can learn something perfectly the first time, in most cases, after a little persistence, dogs can learn a wide array of tricks and general obedience lessons.
