People always say that with age comes wisdom. November marks Adopt a Senior Pet Month, an initiative celebrated kwa The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to wanyama (ASPCA) and Petfinder.com. Below, wewe will find viungo to makala about Senior dogs, their healthcare, and tips to make the aging process as graceful as possible.

A “holiday” like this naturally makes me think of Daddy. He had a calling in life and he served his life’s purpose, helping me bring balance to countless mbwa and being my right hand man through so many highs and lows.

Sometimes people refuse their calling...

I often walk about ten mbwa at a time, sometimes even off-leash if I'm in a salama area. People are amazed kwa this, but it's simple: the mbwa see me as their pack leader. This is why they follow me wherever I go.

Position matters. Walking in front allows wewe to be seen as the pack leader. Conversely, if your dog controls wewe on the walk, he’s the pack leader. wewe should be the first one out the door and the first one in. Your dog should be beside au behind wewe during the walk.

Use a short leash. This allows wewe to have zaidi control. Attaching the leash to the very juu of the neck can help you...

Halloween can be a fun time for everyone, but many dangers can lurk out there for your pets this time of year. From chokoleti candies to stranger aggression, mbwa can exhibit and be exposed to a lot of different and hazardous situations on Halloween.

In order to keep your pets safe, I recommend the following safety tips:

• Keep your pets indoors during treat-or-treating hours and work on keeping them in a calm state. Of course, the best way to do this is to go for a couple of long, vigorous walks during the day.

• If wewe live in an area that is highly populated with kids, wewe know that your...

For years now, I’ve been telling people that I rehabilitate mbwa and train people. This is my kauli mbiu and what I do. But in the process of all of the mbwa and people I’ve worked with, I have also learned a lot about people. When I walk into a nyumbani for a consultation, the first thing I say is, “What can I do for you?” Nine times out of 10, people will start with, “Well, my dog does this and my dogdoes that.” And nine times out of 10, I say, “And what are wewe doing and how are wewe feeling?”

The reason is simple. mbwa communicate though energy. In their natural packs, the pack leader...

The last time we profiled Junior, he was a 5-month old pup, still learning from his mentor, Daddy. Today, Junior is 2 and a half and has taken over Daddy’s role as Cesar’s right-hand man and so much more.

When Cesar first introduced Blue pit Junior to Daddy, he immediately lowered his head and surrendered to the older dog, allowing Daddy to smell him all over and meet him the proper way. Almost instantly, Junior was following Daddy around and his loyalty shifted from his littermates and mother to the great pit ng'ombe ambassador.

What’s in a name?

At first, Cesar couldn’t decide on a name...

Companies all over the world are making their offices dog-friendly. People and mbwa have strong bonds and it’s natural to want our canine companions with us every day. But it’s not always easy to incorporate mbwa into an office pack. When the offices at Cesar Millan Inc. (CMI) opened, everyone was excited to bring their mbwa to work, but it was – and still is – a work-in-progress to achieve and maintain harmony. The advantage is that we know what we need to do to be good pack leaders and we support each other through the process. If wewe are one of the fortunate ones who work in a dog-friendly...

I upendo the way cesar demostrates how pits are wonderful dogs. I have had a pit for almost 14 years and hate how everyone associates them with attack mbwa au vicious. My pit is the biggest baby there could be, very sweet, lazy (he's 14 years old). We have had him for 14 years and he has always been part of the family. He lived with a cat until she passed away and has had three other mbwa in the household that were part of the family. When we lived in the country the neighborhood mbwa would come and help dig him out so they could play, which he always got in trouble for.
Every time wewe hear about...

School has started again, but wewe may already be planning to get away for the holidays. Are wewe concerned about how your dog will handle being away from you? Put the worry aside and get prepared with these tips!

Picking the Right Sitter: Try to choose someone who wewe know can help balance and calm your dog if he is anxious au nervous when wewe are first away. Remember, it’s about energy and matching energy. Leaving a hyperactive dog with an elderly relative is not a good idea.

Most important is that wewe make sure wewe leave your dog with someone who understands the needs of your dog. Ask yourself...

When we interviewed Cesar about Daddy's senior years, his deep emotional bond with this 14 year-old pit ng'ombe was apparent. He shared thoughts on Daddy's current physical health, Junior's impact on his mental health, details on his very special way to roll in the grass, and how he himself copes with Daddy's aging.

Daddy is having zaidi and zaidi senior moments. He sometimes has trouble getting up, has to take bathroom breaks a little zaidi often, and doesn't take the cold as well as he used to. He can't hear well, which is something that's been happening for a while. His sight is going. He has to...

Many of my clients call their dog their soul mate au their baby, but the dog tears up the furniture and drags them all over the neighborhood on a walk. The client pleads with the dog to behave, cajoles the dog, and offers her treats with no change in the dog’s behavior.

Why? mbwa are animals, and they respond to calm-assertive leadership—not emotional arguments au negotiations. If wewe have a dog in your life, it is important to understand how to allow her to live in a balanced way and achieve a healthy state of mind.

Dogs have found themselves in an odd predicament kwa living with humans....

The temperature outside is scorching hot these days!

And our canine sweethearts don’t wear shoes like we do! So, if his au her paws aren’t used to the hot pavement, then they could easily get burned!

We here at Arfdog thought it’d be a cool idea to provide wewe with some advice on how your dog should steer clear of any summertime heat hazards!

Our amazing friend, Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, who’s happily sporting an awesome Arfdog beach, pwani gift box in the photo, has some quick summer dog safety tips to keep in mind while wewe and your pet enjoy the great outdoors.

Click here to take a look at Cesar’s Summer Safety Tips for dogs.

And on another note, do wewe remember about a mwezi zamani we started chatting about what would make certain hotels pet-friendly?

Well, we’d certainly like to hear your thoughts on what would make local beaches and neighborhood parks pet-friendly?

I deal with a lot of red zone cases, and I often hear people incorrectly blaming the breed. Any breed can cause trouble. The difference between an aggressive chihuahua and an aggressive pit ng'ombe is that the bigger breeds can cause proportionately bigger damage.

It is important to recognize the power of a strong breed, like the pit bull, the Cane Corso, and the Mastiff. These mbwa are very powerful and, if they are unbalanced, they can cause serious injury. Remember, these mbwa don’t dream of being in the news when they grow up. mbwa don't premeditate bad acts like people do. Bad things happen...

The zaidi wewe learn about dog psychology, the better wewe will be able to connect with your canine companion!

Dogs are not humans. Before they receive upendo and affection, they need exercise, clear direction, and leadership. Giving them upendo alone doesn't create balance in their lives. Be a pack leader!

Rehabilitating a dog is not about "fixing" it. It's about you, the owner, creating the intention for what wewe want, not what you’re feeling. mbwa pick up on feelings of fear, doubt, au worry – and they will songesha to fill them kwa attempting to become dominant.

Practice unwavering leadership every...

The first mbwa I trained were on my grand-father’s farm in Mexico when I was just a boy. Inspired kwa reruns of Rin Tin Tin and Lassie, I decided as a first step to teach the mbwa to jump on my command. I would bend down, and the mbwa would jump over my back.

Soon after, I announced to my family that I wanted to become the best dog trainer in the world and set out to learn as much as I could from people I met who trained mbwa for a living. And even now, with the success of Dog Whisperer and all my books, I still upendo getting the chance to meet with trainers and watch them work. Which is why...

mbwa use constant energy to communicate. Energy is what I call beingness; it is who and what wewe are in every moment. mbwa don’t know each other kwa name, but kwa the energy they project and the activities they share. They know humans in the same way.

As humans, we too are communicating with energy—whether we realize it au not. And, though we may attempt to persuade, explain, and rationalize all siku long, these energy signals are the only messages getting across to our dogs.

The first energy that a puppy experiences after birth is mom’s calm-assertive energy. Later, the puppy will follow...
