After his owner disappears behind a mysterious, magical blanket, this pup starts to panic.
He runs into the living room, crying. He runs back and forth with no sign of where she went.
Finally, he takes a peak into the washroom and finds her hiding behind the door.
Silly dog.

If it’s a hot day and your dog is panting, your first instinct may be to splash him with water.
However, where you splash the water matters.
As dog expert Cesar Millan explains in the video above, the best place is on her chest. If a dog uses water to cool herself off, she’s more likely to wet her chest first, not her back. Reaching under your dog to splash water is more likely to cool them off in a relaxing way.

Inevitably, pet hair winds up everywhere and makes a living space dirty. If any householder has asthma or allergy issues then pet hair and dander can make it worse.
Fortunately, taking good care of your pet along with proper vacuuming of the house can make things better. Luckily, there are best vacuums for pet hair which are of high-quality designed specifically for those who have pets at home.
Vacuuming daily will not only remove pet hairs, but reduce allergens and improve the overall air quality of the house. However, any vacuum cleaner is not the solution.
There are so many vacuum cleaners available in the market that sometimes it becomes difficult to make a choice. Some can be convenient, but not efficient. The choice will also depend on the type of pet you have. Some pets shed more furs whereas some do not shed so much. There are different breeds so some are considered to be non-allergic as well. Also, buy a vacuum cleaner from a legitimate company. Buying any cheap quality vacuum will not resolve the purpose.
So, analyze as per the different factors mentioned above and assess the features of the best vacuums for pet hair to make a perfect choice.
Caring for an animal companion is one of life’s great pleasures. Taking the plunge into pet ownership for the first time can be overly exciting, however, and some people think that they don’t really need to know anything before they bring their little guy or gal home. It can’t be that hard, right?
Well, it’s not exactly hard, but it can be complicated if you don’t know some basics of pet ownership. Here are some essential tips for the first-time pet owner.
When it comes to making sure you and your new dog are copasetic, it’s vital to establish routines and introduce structure into their life as soon as possible.
One way to do this is to make sure your dog has established ground rules from day one. Sure, it might be cute to let your new dog lie on the couch with you, but if you don’t want a couch dog for the long term, then you should never allow this — not even on day one. You should try, as best as you can, to make your dog eat, sleep, go outside, and exercise at the same time every day. By doing this, you can help avoid household accidents and a rambunctious dog when it’s time for human sleep.
“Dogs need order. Let your pet know from the start who is the boss. When you catch them doing something they shouldn’t, don’t lose your cool. Stay calm, and let them know immediately, in a loud and disapproving voice, that they have misbehaved. Reward them with praise when they do well,” says the Humane Society.

Before you bring your new friend home, stock up on some important items. Make sure you have food and water dishes (as well as food and water), toys, and a good leash for your daily walks – you don’t want your pal getting away from you during your outdoor adventures. Lastly, don’t underestimate the importance of a good dog bed in a safe place, since your dog is most vulnerable when it’s sleeping. Make sure your pooch feels as safe and comfortable as possible in your home while catching up on his much-needed rest.
Keeping with the structure theme, it’s vital that your new dog has a designated “safe space” in their new home — at least for the beginning. Giving your dog free run of your entire house can not only lead to poor behavior, but it can also be unsettling for a dog. This is especially important if you adopt an older dog, who may take quite a bit of time to get acclimated to a new setting. It’s also especially important if you have existing pets. It lets the meeting process happen slowly and reduces the risk of conflicts.
“When the established dog is present, keep the new dog confined, but able to see, smell, and hear the established dog so they can communicate. This will also give you a chance to observe their interactions to get an idea of how they are adjusting to each other’s presence,” suggests ReachOutRescue.org.
“Love is what makes your dog dance when you come home at the end of the day, while the bond is what keeps him from taking off without you when the front door opens,” says the Bark.
Every dog is different, but there are some pretty universal ways to make sure you develop a bond with your dog that lasts a lifetime. Most dog-owner relationships that are subpar suffer from a few common problems. First, the owner doesn’t give the dog enough attention and praise. Second, the owner doesn’t exercise and play with the dog enough. And third, the owner attempts to “punish” the dog for bad behaviors instead of simply and firmly correcting them.
Maybe the best overall rule for first-time pet ownership is to practice patience at all times. Dogs pick up on aggression, fear, and frustration. If you are calm and collected, your dog will be calm and collected as well.
While the Labrador Retriever remains a constant at the top of the charts, the big mover and shaker in 2017 was the French Bulldog. The easygoing, playful, adaptable Frenchie not only jumped two spots to number four, it knocked the Beagle out of the top five for the first time since 1998.
“The Labrador Retriever has its paws firmly planted in Americans’ hearts,” said AKC Executive Secretary Gina DiNardo.
“It’s such a versatile and family friendly breed. Don’t underestimate the power of the Frenchie, though! Its adaptability and loveable temperament make it very appealing to a wide variety of people. The French Bulldog is poised for a takeover.”
In addition to the country’s most popular, rare breeds were on the rise in 2017. The Norwegian Buhund rose four spots (174th to 170th), Skye Terriers rose six spots (178th to 172nd), Canaan Dogs jumped six spots (181st to 175th), and Harriersrose three spots (186th to 183rd).
