Golden Retriever Chewing Toy ...
The Golden Retriever is a medium-large gun dog that was bred to retrieve shot waterfowl, such as ducks and upland game birds, during hunting and shooting parties. The name "retriever" refers to the breed's ability to retrieve shot game undamaged due to their soft mouth. Golden retrievers have an instinctive love of water, and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards. They are a long-coated breed, with a dense inner coat that provides them with adequate warmth in the outdoors, and an outer coat that lies flat against their bodies and repels water. Golden retrievers are well suited to residency in suburban or country environments. They shed copiously, particularly at the change of seasons, and require fairly regular grooming. The Golden Retriever was originally bred in Scotland in the mid-19th century.

Should I Teach my Dog potty training?
Unless you plan to keep your dog outdoors--and few of us do because it's not recommended--you'll need to teach your dog where to eliminate. Therefore, house training (also called housebreaking or potty training) is one of the first things you need to work on with your dog.

cute Kitten @@
A kitten is a juvenile cat. After being born, kittens display primary altriciality and are totally dependent on their mother for survival. They do not normally open their eyes until after seven to ten days. After about two weeks, kittens quickly develop and begin to explore the world outside the nest. After a further three to four weeks, they begin to eat solid food and grow adult teeth. Domestic kittens are highly social animals and usually enjoy human companionship.

Best way to teach dog to jump
Jumps are a great place to start, since it’s easy to teach a dog to comply using treats and positive reinforcement. Start with the jump pole on the ground, and have your dog walk over it. Once he’s good at that, raise the jump just a few inches, and continue raising the jump as your dog becomes familiar with the game.

Dog Drinking Water
How much water should a dog drink a day ?
If dogs are fed wet food, they may drink less, while dogs that are fed dry food or salty treats must make up water intake and seem to drink more than expected. However, this water intake is still physiologically normal. A good general guideline is that a healthy dog should drink between 20-70ml/kg per day 1.

Dog Looks into Camera, very cute
5 Simple Ways To Get Your Dog Looking At The Camera
1. Noises
Noises are a great way to get your dog looking at the camera.
Whippet Looking At Camera
The key is to figure out which noises work best for YOUR dog, as each dog is different. Practice noises at home and see what your dog responds to.
There are basically two types of noise. Noise that your pup is familiar with, and noise that is completely new and unfamiliar. For example, every dog is familiar with the sound of a doorbell. For some pups the noise of a doorbell will make him look up, whilst for other dogs it will send them into a barking frenzy. I would suggest that you’re careful using familiar noise if your dog’s reaction is to bark.
As my hands are busy taking the photo, I always try and find noises that I can make with my mouth. Experiment with high pitched, low pitched noises and different volumes. You could try popping noises, rolling “R” sounds, clicking your tongue, whistles, harmonica, bird chirping, dog barking. Have fun with them, and figure out what gets the best response.
Squeakers are also a great option, but if your dog is obsessed and uncontrollable when he hears them, they are probably best avoided.
A secret insider tip – there are several free apps for your phone that have different noises you can use. I personally like the “Squeaky Toy” app, but there are several others that you could also try.
So now you have found some great noises, the big question I hear you ask is:
“When is the best time to make the noise?”
When you have your shot composed and you are ready to take the photo, make the noise. ONCE! If you get the expression you’re looking for, take the photo. If not, get ready and make the noise again. ONCE! If that doesn’t work, move onto another noise.
2. Treats
My dogs are very food motivated and so treats are a very popular incentive in my house.
Dog Treats on Table
Let your pup sniff the treat in your hand, and then bring your hand up above the camera lens. You will find that they follow the delicious scent, and end up looking at the camera.
Although treats work incredibly well at the right time, I’ve found that giving my dogs a treat too early can result in an obsessed pup that is not interested in doing anything else but track down those delicious treats. I try to start by using noises and toys to get my dog looking at the camera, and then use treats later in the shoot when I’ve already got a few photos in the bag.
3. Toys
What’s your dog’s favorite toy? Toys can work really well to get your dog looking at the camera.
Dog Toys In Basket
Whippet Looking at Toy
Often you can get your dog looking at the camera simply by holding your pup’s favorite toy above the camera lens. If the toy has a squeaker…even better!
However, if your dog is obsessed with a particular toy, be selective about how and when you use it, and just like with treats, don’t introduce it too early. You don’t want your dog to be so focused on the toy that they won’t do anything else.
Just with noises, have fun experimenting with toys to see which one gets the best reaction.
4. Ensure Your Dog Is Comfortable With The Camera Lens
Does your dog look away when you point the camera in their direction? Sometimes when dogs have a camera lens, (that looks like a big eye) pointed at them, they will often avert their gaze.
It’s worth the effort of getting your dog accustomed to, and comfortable with, your camera lens.
Holding camera, camera lens
If you’re using a phone camera, the lens is very small, and your pup is probably very used to seeing you take photos every day. If you’re using a digital camera, it may take a little longer to get them comfortable.
Teach your dog a command that gets him to look at the camera. You could use the words “Pay Attention” which basically means “look at the camera”.
Start slowly and each time you say “Pay Attention” and he moves his head in your direction, give him a treat. At the beginning it may only be a really small head turn in your direction, but it’s a start and something you can build on. Practice each time you use your camera, and gradually you will get your dog looking at the camera.
5. Patience
Patience is an essential part of taking photos of your dog.
Some days you will find that you can’t get the shot you want, and your pup won’t look at the camera despite all your efforts. It may be that your pup is having an off day, or there are too many distractions.
Remember, taking photos of your pup is supposed to be fun! If you get irritated and frustrated, your dog will pick up on that and become more anxious.
Know when to try another day. Put down your camera and enjoy playing with your pup. Spend quality time with your furry best friend and know that your patience will be worth it in the end.
So my fellow dog lover, enjoy experimenting with your pup to find out which of the 5 tips work best. It may not happen overnight, but it will be worth the time you spend working with your pup to get them relaxed and comfortable with your camera.
