Hi, happy pawrents! We all know that delightful, slobbery sensation of a smooch from dog. Do you ever wonder, as you’re wiping that sticky slobber off your face (or leg, or arm…), just why your dog is such an amorous kisser? Well, your pup’s tongue is just one of the many ways they have of communicating with us, picking up sensory info, and getting something they want. Let’s take a look at what they’re thinking! They learned it from Mom! A mother licks her newborn puppies for grooming and cleaning. This nurturing use of licking makes it one of the earliest behaviors introduced to your dog… and one with a very positive association. “My mommy licked me, so I lick you! It’s the ciiiiircle of liiiiiiife!” They learned it from their other Mom! If you’re like us, you kinda love it when your dog licks you. It’s a kiss from your fave! It’s totally understandable if you’ve rewarded your dog for licking you—with happy pets, and gleeful, sing-song words of encouragement....

Imagine a place where the sun shines year-round, the average annual temperature is 73°, and more than 900 dogs with breed names like “Chubby-Tailed German Dobernauzer” and “Fire-Tailed Border Cocker” roam free across the lush landscape. Sound like Heaven? Well believe it or not, it exists right here on earth! Territorio de Zaguates, or “Land of the Strays” is a privately funded, volunteer-run organization in Costa Rica. Every single dog at this unique shelter is available for adoption. Each is given a name as well as assigned their own personal “breed” based on their unique characteristics. At Territorio de Zaguates mutts are celebrated for their one-of-a-kind traits in an effort to dispel the myth that purebreds are somehow more valuable. Experts believe putting a positive spin on their mixed status helps these special dogs find homes. After a popular Costa Rican television show featured several artist renderings of Territorio de Zaguates’ “new breeds” the public res...

Hello, Pawrents! There’s nothing quite like a freshly-bathed dog, though your pup probably has other things to say about it. If there’s one bath time no-no quite often, it’s that people scrub their dogs down with a squirt of their own shampoo. Our shampoos contain a lot of harsh chemicals designed to remove every last trace of dirt and oil, but they’re way too harsh to use on dogs. More often than not you’re left with a clean, albeit dry & itchy pup; dog shampoo exists for a reason—because it’s gentle enough to prevent those negative side effects.  Here are some suggestions to help make your bathing experience a success.  Talk to your pet while bathing; this can be reassuring and comforting. Be patient while bathing and reward them when you are done. Make sure to have all your supplies ready before the bathing begins. Start bathing your pets when they are young so they get used to the home grooming routine. If your pet doesn’t care fo...

Ternyata anjing dan kucing kesayangan kita selama ini mengungkapkan perasaannya dengan gerakan ekor mereka. Anjing dan kucing menggerakan ekor mereka bukan hanya pada waktu senang. Arti goyangan ekor berbeda, bergantung pada arah goyangan ekor mereka. Peneliti Rusia mengungkapkan bahwa ketika senang, anjing cenderung menggoyangkan ekornya ke arah kanan. Sementara jikagoyangan ekor ke arah kiri, tandanya mereka sedang melihat sesuatu yang tidak menyenangkan seperti anjing lain yang lebih dominan.

Halo, Happy Pawrents. Tidak terasa sudah memasuki tahun baru 2018. Namun kali ini, Highend ingin sedikit membahas mengenai fenomena unik sekaligus sebagai pengingat bagi para pemilik anjing dalam menghadapi event tahun baru di masa mendatang. Bagi sebagian orang,  tahun baru  adalah hal yang patut dirayakan dengan menyalakan kembang api. Tapi, hal ini tidak berlaku bagi hewan peliharaan seperti  anjing . Sebagian besar anjing rupanya takut dan gelisah saat mendengar kembang api. Jika tidak ditangani dengan baik, hal itu justru bisa membuat anjing menjadi stres. Dulu, mungkin ada nasihat bahwa pemilik anjing tidak perlu khawatir dengan anjing yang gelisah. Hal ini agar membuat anjing tidak terlalu bergantung pada manusia. Pendapat itu kini telah dipatahkan oleh para ahli. Mereka kini percaya bahwa hal itu sama sekali tidak bekerja. Mereka lebih menyarankan agar pemilik anjing harus lebih memperhatikan anjing saat mereka gelisah agar terhindar dari stres....

In humans, aging hastens declines in short-term memory and logical reasoning skills, making it more difficult to learn new tasks. Previous research has found similar declines in dogs, but long-term memory is a little-known aspect of dog biology. (See " Many Animals—Including Your Dog—May Have Horrible Short-Term Memories .") That's why Wallis and colleagues are studying how dogs both young and old memorize tasks, and whether the animals can remember them months later. The results are still in the works, but Wallis expects to discover that it's tough—but not impossible—to teach old dogs new tricks. This is how: 1. Get some treats that your dog likes.  Take small pieces so that you can give it one for each thing it does without worrying about your dog getting fat.Some dogs, especially Labradors and Beagles, are extremely food orientated, and so you can set aside a portion of their daily kibble into a treat pouch, and use this to reward them. 2.
