The Wonderful World Of Pet Companions

By Karen Parker


Household animal companions have been around since the early civilizations. They are adorable and cute and are often the first line of defense against home intrusions. It is rare for a household to have no pets. Children like to play with them and in a way, they are part of an extended family. The most common of these are dogs. If you have one you can have it trained at Dog Training Tampa.

It cannot really be established when this creature was domesticated. There is one story though which may be anecdotal but could have some truth in it. It sometimes is said that a lone injured member of a pack was left behind by the others. The injured creature somehow found its way to the home of a man. Taking pity on the this, the human fed it and nursed it back to health.

There are several breeds of these critters, the result of accidental and purposeful crossbreeding. There are those which are considered as exotic like toy poodles and Shih Tzus. The biggest of them is the great Dane which could measure up to more than forty four inches at the shoulders. The smallest one is the chihuahua which is about the size a family cat.

There are many shows in which these animals compete. Mostly these are command and obedience contests like running an obstacle course or retrieving an object from the air or water. There are also shows that focus on their appearance and grooming. This is really a difficult contest to judge since there are various breeds, it is hard to discriminate one from the other.

Dogs are especially loyal to its master. There are times when it grieves at the passing of one and may even stay on the graveyard waiting for its master to wake up. Dogs in some ways know how to mimic and please humans. They can be trained to do things regardless of what breed they are. Very basic training includes how to make them sit, stand, roll, and retrieve items.

Like humans, or most humans, dogs like routine activities. But the primary focus should first be in letting them recognize who is master. One important thing to do is to train them how to poo outside. This is accomplished by letting them loose outside at least four times a day. Eventually, they will learn to poo outside and this will become a routine for them.

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.
