The Wonderful World Of Pet Companions

By Karen Parker


Pets have been around of quite some time. They are fun and enjoyable. They can also give comfort and help in guarding a home. Rare it really is for a home that has no fun loving animal in it, other than humans of course. Children like to romp with them, the elderly like to have them for companionship. There are plenty of animals that are pets but none can compare with a dog. If you own one, have it trained at Dog Training Tampa.

There is really no historical reference that will show when dogs became domesticated. But there is a tall tale about how this critter came to be mans best friend. The story tells of a creature that got injured in a dogfight and was left by the rest of the pack. This somehow managed to survive and found itself on a mans doorstep. This was handed some food scraps and from then on, stuck with a man.

There are so many breeds of this animal which resulted from unintentional and intentional cross breeding. Breeds like the toy poodle and the Shih Tzu are deemed as exotic types. The largest in as far as world record is concerned is the great Dane and the smallest is the Chihuahua. Some dogs have jobs and others are there just for fun and enjoyment.

There are several competitions which involve these animals. Most of it relates to command and control tests like hurdling obstacles and catching and retrieval of an object in water and on the air. Some shows also feature pageant like contests where looks and grooming are judged. This is really difficult because of the different breeds and discriminating one over the other is not a good idea.

Dogs have characters and personalities of their own. All of them can be trained by an expert handler. This may begin with simple actions like sitting, rolling, fetching objects, and being on a leash. Treats are usually given to these animals when they are able to recognize and obey commands. One has to remember that these pets are very loyal.

Dogs are like humans, almost, in that they like daily routines. Letting them learn and recognize who the master is will be the first thing to teach. They must also learn not to poo inside the house, and that this should be done outside. This can be taught by letting them out at least three or four times a day. This will turn into a habit and make them poo outside.

Another daily activity that will form into a habit is taking the dog for a walk in the early morning at absolutely the same time. Dogs can be conscious of time according to studies made by experts. They recognize differences in time intervals of more than fifteen minutes. If you are late in waking your dog, forget it. You will be doing tag team with it.

Home invaders are very wary of dogs. They can maim and kill. It is the most basic security system of homes. Their bark alone can make a person run like a hell, afraid of being chased. Police and army forces around the world have jobs for them. They are very excellent sniffers and can detect even slight traces of illegal substances. Army personnel use them as guards in their camps.

These are cute and adorable creatures regardless of their size. It has been a puzzle to scientists though why the big ones tend to be more gentle and obedient. The smaller ones are sometimes temperamental and scurry around the house like crazy. They are more difficult to control but are easier to maintain since they only eat very little.
