When you look into the eyes of this Bull Terrier puppy, you immediately feel how much love a dog can give.

Man’s compassion is said to have no bounds. Through crises and calamities, the human heart has been able to piece things back together. Pets such as dogs also have their tales of woe and are in need of a happy ending.

Bullterriers for example may have an owner that had expired or had been abandoned with no one to take care of it. They may have had behavioral problems that were not properly handled and were abused by owners or simply they were just not wanted anymore. Thankfully, there are dog rescue groups around to take them in with hopes of finding them a new home.

After being physically and mentally aided, people can opt to adopt them. The internet has many sources to rescue groups that will provide all the information needed to help these bullterriers who desperately need some tender loving care. Any internet sources should be physically checked to make sure they are a legitimate group.

Common causes of ear yeast infection and bacterial infection on paws is due to allergies or pests such as ear mites. Bull Terriers have erect ears, so it may be less susceptible to infection if properly groomed, but not immune to it.

Yeast infections or Malassezia Otitis is an adverse reaction to food. If the breed is not fed the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, then it will have glandular effects on the dog. An example is the increase of ear wax secretion as well as other fluids. This would emit a bad odor from the ear.  Paws can also suffer from Malassezia or fungal / bacterial infections. This causes their skin to dry, crack and itch. Sores can also be a result of this.

Infected ears are treated with ear cleaning solutions followed by chlorhexidine and antibiotics and affected paws cleaned in anti-fungal solutions. However, with the proper nutritional intake by the dog, it would have less or no chance of getting infections.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a BULL TERRIER or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.

The most dangerous dog in the world

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

An important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Bull Terrier puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your dog as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.
