Our dog, Bear, is a Newfoundland. He was the most adorable little ball of fur when we brought him home from the shelter. He lives with us in the house and is part of our family and I am not alone in this - there are millions of people who treasure their pets as part of their family. We have had a lot of pets in the past, but I think Bear has been the easiest to train. He is intelligent and picks most things up the first or second time. However, we have had some pets that were very difficult to train, but with patience and proper training tools, we always had success. There are numerous studies that show people who own and interact with pets are happier, more independent and feel more secure than those without them. Cambridge University released a study showing that people who owned a pet produced improvements in overall health in as little as one month. People who owned pets experienced less stress, lowered heart beat rate, and blood pressure.

Whether you have a dog, cat, fish or exotic pet, there are many products on the market today that make it easy for you and your pet to share the same environment. If you like your pet in the house but not on the furniture, there are vibration alarms that alert the pet owner and startle the pet when they are in a ‘not-supposed-to-be-on’ zone. There are potty training trays or mats, ultrasonic devices to help break bad habits or teach new commands, doggie doorbells that let you know when your pet is ready to come back in the house. If you use common sense, patience, keep your sense of humor and take advantage of some of the remarkable pet training devices in the market today, you and your pet friends will have a happy relationship and environment.

With winter coming on, it is important to make sure your pet is warm and dry. An electric heating mat made specifically for pets is a wonderful way to add comfort during the cold weather months. Keep pets inside as much as possible during the winter since they are more susceptible to illness in the cold.
