Where is the best place to take your dog for dog training? I have lots of family with lots of animals and they all say something different. Should I get a one on one trainer that will come to my house? Or should I go somewhere like Pets Mart and take the 6 week class? Thanks All nice comments welcome

There may be some dog owners out there that perceive dog toys as a luxury item, something that is not essential. This however could not be further from the truth and for many reasons dog toys are paramount to a happy and fulfilled dog.

Obviously a dog can live without a dog toy but to really allow your dog to extend its character to its full potential dog toys are one of the many ingredients that are required. One of the buzz phrases around the early years development in children is ‘children’s educational toys’ and that is because analysis has proved that playing with toys is not just a enjoyable waste of time. As with a lot of scenarios a parallel comparison can be made between the education of a child and that of a dog.

To keep a dog out of mischief their mind needs to be kept active and dog toys can play an important part in keeping them stimulated. The need for keeping a dog entertained increases dramatically if for any reason they need to be left on their own for a lengthy period of time. An owner may come back from a long day shopping to find their brand new settee chewed to bits by their dog, just maybe if their dog had been left some toys to play with the settee may have been left in one piece.

Even when owners are in the house dog toys are still essential as not many owners can give their dogs 100% attention all of the time. Simple things like slippers getting chewed can easily be avoided by having a good array of dog toys for your dog to play with.

Its not only for stimulation reasons that dog toys are important either. Puppies can use chewy dog toys as a useful method of removing their first set of teeth to make way for their adult teeth. This is a common practise and specific dog toys have been manufactured for this very purpose. Lots of other puppy training toys are also available that develop aspects of a dog such as chewing and jaw strength.

Dog toys are also very useful for exercising a dog. There is not as much chance of a dog getting obese as there is children with all the junk food available to them but exercise is also important for dogs. A healthy dog that is exercised well has a much better chance of living longer than a dog that barely moves away from the living room fire. The oldest of dog toys such as sticks are still very popular as dogs love nothing more than running after something and fetching it back to its suitably impressed owner! Nowadays wooden sticks can be replaced by dog toys that are made of rubber in the shape of a stick. These rubber dog toys offer the advantage that no splinters can be given to the dog from them and also the rubber makes them near indestructible.

Although dog toys have many benefits for dogs the owner must also use a bit of intelligence when buying dog toys to make sure they are suitable for their particular dog. For instance buying small dog toys for a Great Dane would not be a very wise move as they could easily be swallowed or chocked on my a large dog.

So buy your K9 regular dog toys and save yourself a lot of money on settees and slippers whilst also giving your dog the chance to live a fulfilled life.

Dog toys are an important part of any dogs life and a large selection can be found at J and D Pet Products who also sell the very popular Kong toys.

A dog bed is an essential piece of equipment for all dogs regardless of size, breed or age.

A good dog bed:

- provides a private space and sense of security;

- provides insulation from the floor in both winter and summer;

- cushions joints and bones;

- controls the spread of hair, dirt, and dander.

It may also save your furniture, as your dog will soon prefer his bed to your sofa.

Choosing the Right Dog Bed

How your dog sleeps, his size, age, or physical condition must all be considered when choosing the perfect bed for your dog.

Dog Bed Shapes

The shape of a dog bed is just as important as the size and filling.

- Round dog beds are great for dogs who curl up when they sleep. Our round dog beds are also ideally suited for younger dogs, who need a greater sense of security.

- Rectangular dog beds work best for dogs who stretch out. Older dogs often have less flexibility and will find a rectangular dog bed more comfortable.

Bolster Dog Beds

If you’ve ever found your dog sleeping with his back to the couch or a cushion, he’s there for a reason. Dogs who sleep this way do so because the support against their back offers them a feeling of security. Bolster dog beds are great for providing both security and comfort. Plus, the soft, spun-polyester-stuffed bolster makes an excellent pillow.

- Round bolster dog beds provide the perfect spot for dogs who like to curl up and snuggle next to something soft when they sleep.

- Rectangular dog loungers with soft bolsters on the back and sides provide a bed with a cozy cover that allows dogs to burrow in and relax in comfort.

- Deep dish bolster dog beds are great for homes with more than one dog.

Bagel Dog Beds

Does your dog circle and circle to find just the right place to lie down? Dogs who like to look for the perfect nesting spot love Bagel dog beds. With a soft, overstuffed bolster that completely surrounds your dog, Bagel dog beds provide a sense of safety and security that some dogs need when they snuggle in.

Burrow Dog Bed

Many dogs, small breeds in particular, can’t settle down to sleep unless they have their backs snuggled into something for an added feeling of safety and security. The Dog Burrow is the perfect solution–the half-covered hood offers an enclosed area, much like a natural den.

Memory Foam for Older Dogs

For older dogs, rectangular dog beds with memory foam help to ease the discomfort and stiffness associated with joint and muscle pain, whether from age, arthritis, hip dysplasia, or injury. By conforming to your dog’s individual body shape, less stress and pressure are put on the joints and muscles. Excessive callus irritation over joints is also minimized. A memory foam dog bed with a down covering will provide additional luxurious warmth.

ToughChew Dog’s Nest: For Dogs Who Chew

The ToughChew Dog’s Nest is made to be chew resistant to stand up to puppies as well as adult dogs who like to chew. While it’s tough, it’s also soft enough for a comfortable night’s sleep. Available in seven sizes and two shapes with the same high-loft hypoallergenic polyester filling.

Space-Saving Beds

If available space for a dog bed is a factor, then give your dog a luxurious dog bed that lets him spend time where you do without getting in the way. Space-saving dog beds tuck neatly in a corner or against a wall, allowing your dog a comfortable place to sleep that you can live with, too.

Couch Guardians

For dogs who love to rest on the couch, a couch guardian protects your furniture from stains, liquids, pet hair, and odors with innovative protection for your couch or love seat. At the same time, it gives your dog a comfortable place to rest. In a range of colors and even in fine leather, couch protectors complement any home’s decor.

Dog Blankets

More than half of all dog owners in America allow their dogs to sleep on their beds or couches. If you need a protective covering for your couch or bed that’s also comfortable and stylish, Three Dog Night bedding is for you. This dog-proof bedding protects your bed or couch from moisture, dirt, and provides you with a comfortable warm place to sleep with your dog.

Outdoor Dog Beds

For a comfortable place to sleep on the back porch, nothing beats an outdoor dog bed. These dog beds can be cleaned with a garden hose, are fast drying and will not mold or mildew.

Portable Dog Beds and Mats for Travel

When you travel, be sure to take a travel mat or portable dog bed for the comfort of your best friend. Travel mats and beds fold for ease of transport and ensure that your dog will have a more restful trip.
