There are few things as enjoyable as spending time with your children or grandchildren. Whether you are playing tag, hide and seek, or simply watching a kid’s movie for the umpteenth time because it is your grandson’s favorite, both the child and the adult reap the benefits of spending time together. Children learn, and adults get to teach. This means everyone benefits and builds positive family memories those children will pass down to their own children and grandchildren. One of my personal favorite activities is cooking Mexican food with children.

Children love to play in the kitchen. If you are preparing dinner, pots and pants with a wooden spoon can make a great babysitter while you prepare dinner for toddlers and infants, but as that toddler ages, chances are good those pots and pans are going to become interesting for a completely different reason.

When you get your children involved in the kitchen, you are building a stronger family bond, but you are also teaching the children something that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. Both boys and girls can benefit from knowing how to cook. Cooking Mexican food is fun and healthy which makes it even better.

So how do you get your children to help?

First, remember you should always supervise beginners and younger children. Generally, teenagers can handle the kitchen by themselves, but it is still a good idea to keep an eye out for things to offer a hand if needed. Also, never allow children to work with a knife. This is dangerous and should be taught slowly rather than quickly.

To get your children involved, simply ask for help. You will find that it is relatively easy to pull the kiddo from the television or the video game. Just say you need help in the kitchen. For the younger ones, you may want to start by simply offer measuring cups. This is also a superb way to teach some nice math skills too!

Talk to any cloth diapering mom and they all agree that the biggest obstacle is how to cloth diaper at night and not wake up in a puddle of pee. Yes, it’s going to take some trial and error. But it doesn’t mean you have to resort to using disposable diapers.

Disposable diapers leak, bulge, excrete crystals, transfer dioxins and don’t allow the skin to breathe. They are not the “easy answer”. When you chose to cloth diaper you had a reason that overcame the convenience of any throw away comsumer product. Whether it is financial, environmental or health reasons that brought you to use cloth diapers, they are all still valid when the sun goes down.

That being said, cloth diapering at night is all the more satisfying when you find the solution that works for your baby. Aside from the type of diaper that you gently place on your baby before they drift off to sleep there are another tip that is helpful. Limiting or eliminating the fluids at bedtime and the middle of the night reduces the amount of outflow during the night. However, even if your baby is a constant nighttime feeder, you can STILL cloth diaper at night.

There is not one nighttime system that works for all babies but there are a few shining stars.

Prefolds as pocket stuffers: Prefolds are highly absorbent and are perfect for trifolding and inserting into a pocket. A prefold can be wrapped around a doubler, like the Joeybunz hemp insert or Happy Heinys Stuffin Insert, or two prefolds can be wrapped together. You can use any pocket diaper, however many moms have had great success with Fuzzi Bunz and Bum Genius diapers at night. There are a couple of top performing one-size diapers on the market as well that have caught the eye of quite a few cloth diapering families.

Fitted Diapers: Baby Beehind (BBH), Very Baby Simply Nights (VBSN), and Bamboo Velour Goodmama top the list of most highly recommended fitteds for use at night. Fitted Diapers are a great nighttime option because of their absorbent materials, the ability to add doublers, and their breathability. Successful nighttime fitteds usually contain hemp and/or velour for their ability to soak up large amounts of liquid. These fitteds allow you to lay a doubler under the snap insert and still have the soft material touching your baby’s skin. Where as pocket diapers contain a water-proof layer of PUL (polyurethane laminate), fitted diapers do not have this and require a cover. The lack of PUL is what allows a fitted diaper to “breathe”. To breathe means air is allowed to circulate to baby’s skin. A fitted diaper, though, is only as good as the cover you choose…

Wool: The brightest star in the sky when it comes to having dry sheets is WOOL. Wool is very breathable, comfortable, and can absorb 30x it’s weight in moisture before feeling damp to the touch. Wool keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I live in the hot state of Texas and wool worked wonderfully last summer. Wool is also anti-bacterial because of the properties of lanolin. Lanolin contains acidic fatty acids that react with the basic urea to create salt and water. Urea is a component of urine that would normally cause odors. Wool will need to be washed and re-lanolized every couple of weeks. It is a great idea to put a wool soaker or wool longies over any nighttime system you choose for that extra protection. You can choice hand knit wool, crocheted wool, recycled wool sweaters, or interlock wool for your nighttime safety net.

Getting enough sleep at night is enough to worry about. Don’t add to it by also worrying about wet sheets. You may have to experiment with a couple of different diapers before you find what works for your baby, but it will be well worth the effort!

Dog owners will want to be proud of the dogs they own. Not only will they want to feed the best food to their dogs and give them the best health care, dog owners will also want their dogs to be obedient. And to instill this obedience in dogs, it is necessary to give them some obedience training through obedience classes.

The importance of obedience training

Obedience is a must for all dogs. With obedience training, you can expect to find a solution to the discipline problems that you encounter with your dog. In order to avoid domestic problems, which are common when a dog is introduced to a new household, you have to send your dog to training classes to ensure that your home is safe for your family members, especially your children and other pets.

In addition to providing a safe environment, obedience training also establishes a line of communication between the dog and you. And it is with this communication that it is possible for you to instruct the dog to do what you want it to do. Once the dog learns to communicate with you, you will be able to teach it to obey your commands.

There is no age requirement to enroll your dog for obedience classes. A puppy can learn to do tricks and follow commands when it is as young as 8 weeks of age. It is better to take the dog to obedience classes at around 4 months old, right after it has completed all its vaccinations. Usually, basic training courses accept puppies between 3-6 months of age.

Basically, it is easier to train dogs that have a basic understanding of basic commands like “sit” or “stay”. Training an older dog can be more challenging because it has already developed some habits that may be undesirable to you.

It is not the dog but the owner that the dog trainer trains

Many kennels, pet stores and independent trainers conduct training courses for dogs. When you take your dog to an obedience class, you may be surprised that it is not the dog that the professional dog trainer trains. Instead, you are the one who will be taught how to train the dog.

However, you can also send your dog away to a training school to be taught obedience, but you will have to know what the dog has been taught, and how to use and reinforce the techniques that have been taught to the dog. With owners and dogs attending classes together, they learn more about each other, and how to work together under the supervision of the trainer.

It is easier to train a dog if you are aware of the commands and methods that are taught to the dog. Moreover, by attending obedience classes, you and your dog can meet other dogs and people, and learn more things from them.

Obedience training requires consistency, patience and understanding

Your dog will respond better if you are consistent in the way you handle it. With clear cut instructions, the dog learns everything it has to do, where it has to do it and what not to do. Understanding your dog’s needs is a difficult part of obedience training for you. However, as you spend more time with your dog, you will know how to read its movements and expressions, and find the right way to teach it.

Although dogs are expressive by nature, they cannot tolerate discernible messages from inexperienced owners. It is through biting, whining and being fidgety that puppies learn to communicate with you. And it is with the right response you give the dog that you will have an obedient and healthy puppy that will grow up to be a great companion for many years to come.

If you’re one of those lucky people who grew up with chickens in your backyard, you’ll know what I’m talking about. There are so many advantages to keeping chickens, that I’m surprised more people today do not see chickens as a suitable addition to their backyard.

Growing up on a farm in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, my family had the extra advantage of lots of room for our many pets. The sheep, cows, goats and our lovely flock of colourful chickens had acres of room in the scrub behind our home. My three sisters and I shared the responsibility of ‘unlocking’ the chooks each morning, delivering the household scraps and collecting the eggs.

As the chickens had the freedom to rummage in the hay shed, which was located very near their own special shed, we often found secluded nests in amongst the large round bales of hay. There came a point when we really couldn’t find enough eggs each day to match the number of chickens. Convinced that there must be a ‘super’ nest hiding somewhere in the hay shed, we searched high and low with our torches until we spotted a missing chicken, delivering her daily egg to a rather large pile of eggs right at the back of the shed. As there was only room for a chicken to get into this small area behind several round bales, which were far to heavy for us to move, we had to come up with a way of collecting these eggs. Childhood ingenuity led to the collection of an old broomstick, a soup ladle and masking tape. With the ladle taped to the end of the broomstick, we were able to use this extended arm to ‘go-go-gadget’ the eggs from their hidden location. What memories!

While I no longer live on this farm, my husband and I do have acres of scrub ourselves at our home in Cockatoo Valley, South Australia. Soon after we moved in to our newly built home, we decided to erect a shed for a couple of chickens. As we had both grown up with pet chickens, I think we both assumed we’d get our own. As far as pets go, chickens would have to be the most affordable, low maintenance choice around. We picked up both a black and a white chook from our local chook breeder, a bag or two of feed and we were away. While it took our new ‘family members’ a little while to get used to their new living conditions, they soon started laying. We were like children again when we found the first eggs, frying them up straight away. We were so proud, you’d think we had laid them ourselves!

While I could spell out all the advantages of chickens from a cost perspective (compared to buying eggs) and the benefits to your garden (via the fertilizer), there is something else perhaps less tangible that makes keeping chickens such a ‘joy’. Perhaps it’s feeling a little more in touch with nature. Or perhaps it’s the joy of watching our son pat his pet chickens and carefully collecting the eggs (with a few accidents along the way).

If you’ve always wondered if you should take the step of getting chickens, I would thoroughly recommend it. I don’t know anyone that has regretted getting chickens. Most people talk about it, but never get around to actually to organizing it. Even if you don’t have a very large backyard, it’s likely to be enough room for at least 2 chickens.

As I finish writing this article I’m admiring one of our pet chickens named ‘Opal’ who has come to sit on my office windowsill. With her feathers all fluffed up, she sits contentedly watching me write. What a joy she is.

A lot of individuals believe that it is cruel to have your dog in a dog crate. They may equate this to such things as zoos and cages. But there are positive and valuable lessons that a new puppy can learn with proper dog crate training. One good thing that crate training can do is to keep the puppy from chewing household items such as electric cords, shoes and other items in the household. A Puppy or dog has a natural instinct to chew, and chew they will if left unsupervised. This is but one reason why dog crate training can be useful.

Dogs will naturally seek out a secure place to sleep, or den. Domestic dogs naturally create their own safe area. You will observe that dogs sleep in areas such as underneath the table or near furniture when there is no other place provided for them to sleep. In this manner, dog crate training is not a cruel thing at all. After a short time they will become quite accustomed to it and regard it as their own place, and a place where they can feel secure.

A puppy will almost always cry and whine at first when placed in a crate. Try not to give into the temptation to let him out when he does. The puppy will not mess in his own area; this is another useful reason to keep your puppy in a crate. If you feed him in the crate and let him sleep there he will gradually become accustomed to it. Just be sure to take him outside right away after feeding or when he just wakes up to relieve himself. This is how he will learn that outside is the place to perform that function. Also, if you don’t want him to get used to staying on your bed, couch or any furniture in your house then crate training just reinforces in his mind that the crate is his house, and no one else’s. It is his place to sleep.

Breeders have always crate trained puppies. This makes it easier for you when you bring your new puppy home as they are already used to sleeping in a crate and not crying continuously causing aggravation for you or your family. What you need to do is buy a large enough crate that your puppy can easily stand up and move around in and make him get used to his new sleeping area. It is useful if you can get the breeder to give you a piece of the bedding that he used for the puppy which has the smells of him or his littermates on it. You can put this along with the pads in his new crate and it will make the puppy feel that he is still at home.

There is nothing wrong with crate training a puppy and it is not cruel at all. When you decide to bring that new puppy home from the breeder or pound, you must be able to provide the puppy with a crate that is available and ready for the puppy to use and sleep in. You can place a small treat in the crate to encourage and reward him for sleeping in there. Leave the door open once in a while so he can come and go as he pleases. He will then view it as less of a prison and more of a doghouse.

A dog training career may be just right for you, if you love working with dogs. Dogs of all ages, from puppies to older dogs, need training, and their owners often don’t know how to train them. They look for a professional dog trainer to do the job.

If you are thinking of a dog training career, you might want to start by practicing on your own dog. If you are good at training your dog, you might be good at training other people’s dogs. But if training your dog leaves you frustrated and drained, then becoming a dog trainer might not be the best career for you.

When you are training dogs, you are actually training the owners more than the dogs, so you need to be good with people to consider a dog training career. People are not at their best when they are frustrated or embarrassed by their dog’s behavior. Will you be able to deal with these distraught owners calmly, while at the same time tending to their dogs? Give this some thought.

Consider volunteering to help out at a dog training class at your local shelter. You will get a feel for what is involved in a dog training career. If you are good, the teacher may let you teach a segment of the class. This will be your trial by fire. If you do a good job, then you can move forward with your training.

You can prepare for a dog training career in several ways.

1. Attend a school specifically for those interested in a dog training career. There are many schools and seminars available. Be sure to get lots of hands on training.

2. Become an intern or apprentice to a dog trainer in your area. This way, you can learn dog training on the job.

3. Become a certified dog trainer. Do a search on the internet for dog training certification programs.

Once you have the proper education in dog training, starting your business should be easy. Decide if you want to work with individual clients in their homes or offer dog training classes. It is a good idea to offer a combination of both. By advertising your dog training classes, people who want individual help training their dogs will hear about you too. Soon your dog training career will be off to a great start.

Check around in your area for facilities where you can hold the dog training classes. Often the local humane society will have space for classes, or you could check with dog day care facilities. In warm weather, you may be able to hold your classes outdoors.

Advertise your services by leaving brochures about your training program with veterinarians, dog supply stores, and pet shelters. This way, your advertising will not cost you much.

Congratulations! You have followed the steps above and have a thriving dog training career. You love dogs and are working with them every day. For a dog lover and a natural teacher, you have found the ideal business to be in.

Dog breeds are certain types of dogs which have distinctive looks and temperament. Dog breeds can reveal a lot about the size, appearance, and personality of a canine. Doing research to find out which dog breed will suit your personality and lifestyle is essential. Dog breeds are plentiful and you can always find a reputable dog breeder, but it is important that you understand the dog breed you are interested in before going to the dog breeder.

Size should be a factor when deciding on which type of breed would be best for you. Naturally, if you live in a small house or apartment, a smaller dog would be better, where as a larger dog would be better suited with a large yard or out in the country.

There are different dog breed groupings consisting of: The Sporting Dogs…The Hound Dogs…The Working Dogs…The Terriers…The Toy Group…The Non-Sporting Dogs.

The Sporting dogs were developed as bird dogs. These include the Pointers, Retrievers, Setters, Spaniels and others.

The Hound dogs were developed to hunt using sight (sight hounds) or scent (scent hounds). These include the Beagle, Coonhound, Bloodhound and others.

The Working dogs were developed for a variety of jobs, including guarding property, guarding livestock, or pulling carts. These include the Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, Bernese Mountain Dogs and others.

The Terrier dogs were developed mainly to hunt vermin and rodents and to dig them from their burrows or dens. These come in various sizes, from the small Cairn Terrier to the large Airedale Terrier.

The Toy dogs are small companion breeds that include the Toy Poodles, Chihuahua,Toy Spaniels, Miniature Pinscher and others. The Toy Group make up for their small size with their big personalities.These are well suited for older or disabled people, because they are easier to look after, as they eat less and need less exercise. Usually, small dog breeds are just ten inches or less tall at the shoulder. In most breeds, the male is slightly larger than the female, but the difference is generally small.This is referred to as breeding true

The Non-Sporting dogs that do not fit into any of the other groups, are usually larger than Toy dogs. These include the Miniature Poodles, Boston Terrier, Bichon Frises and others.

For those who suffer from allergies, a Hypoallergenic dog is a breed that might enable them to have a pet in their home. Some dog breeds have been considered as hypoallergenic, such as the Yorkshire Terrier and the Afghan Hound whose is the same pH as human hair, therefore, creating no threat. Some other good breed choices for those who have allergies are the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier…Bichon Frise…Shih Tzu…Bolonese… Poodle…Barbet…Portuguese Water Dogs…Schnauzer…Maltese. These dogs shed very little of their hair. However, they do produce dander, but the amount is so small that very few people experience allergy symptoms when in contact with these breeds.However, no canine is known to be completely 100% non allergenic. Hypoallergenic dog breeds are usually single-coated, non-shedding (or low-shedding), and generally smaller dogs.

The top 5 dogs registered for 2007 with the AKC are:

* Labrador Retriever

* Yorkshire Terrier

* German Shepherd

* Golden Retriever

* Beagle

Breed types include Hounds, which are bred to hunt and work with humans; Toys, which are great adult companions; and Terriers, which are excellent dogs for training.

From cute to tough breeds, toy dogs to working dogs - there are many different dog breeds for you to choose from.

Lamar Deane offers free information on how to Select a Dog Breed Best Suited For You.

The decision to getting a dog should be thought out first. Getting a dog can be a happy occasion that bring joy to a persons life, if they get the right dog suited for them.

The first thing is to look at different dog breeds. There are over 400 different dog breeds in the US. The best choice, leading to the most suitable relationship between pet and owner is the one that matches the personality and lifestyle of the owner. You want a dog you can have fun with and one that you will enjoy. If you choose a dog with a temperament that matches your personality and lifestyle, you will have great fun with the dog and the dog will have great fun with you.

With all the many breed choices possible, an impulsive decision can easily result in your owning a breed that doesn’t fit your personality and lifestyle. Also with so many choices it may be hard to select one. One way is by appearance. This may come about in two ways. You may have seen a dog in a book or on the street that caught your eye. If you succeed in matching a dogs temperamental characterists to your lifestyle, you are less likely to experience behavior problems and chaos that usually arise out of a mis-match. Also consider how different breeds interact with family members and/or familiar people with other strange dogs. Would you prefer an active dog or a non-active dog?

A good way to start the selection process is to begin with a range of possibilities and reduce them down to the ideal match. Start first with physical characteristics. There are 4 physical characteristics that are the most important to consider in choosing a dog to fit your lifestyle. Coat quality, height, weight, and strength.

Coat Quality:

Coat shedding and grooming. Some dogs shed excessively all year round. Some shed moderately… some shed seasonally and others shed very little. The amount of shedding should be considered when selecting a dog.

Dog Height and Strength:

A dogs potential size and strength is another physical characteristic that can affect your lifestyle. Dog heights can range from 5″ to 36″ measured at the shoulders. Adult female dogs are usually 1 to 2 inches shorter than their male counter part.

Dog Weight:

A dogs weight can range from 4 pounds to over 100 pounds. Adult females are only slightly lighter in the tiny and miniature breeds, about 5 pounds lighter in the small to medium sized breeds, 10 pounds lighter in the large and very large breeds, and as much as 15 to 20 pounds lighter in the enormous breeds.

The species Canis familiars (or common dogs) has more of a variety of appearances than all other species of animals. It is understandable that some people tend to choose a dog by its looks and not by its temperament or other characteristics. Thats why it’s important before acquiring a dog to research each breed and see which one is best for you.

Most people looking for a dog, is one they can have fun with and that’s the right attitude to have. If you make a logical choice of a dog with a temperament that matches your individual personality and lifestyle, you will enjoy and have fun with your new friend and it will enjoy and have fun with you.
