I recently received a trial of Calming by PetNaturals. I was pleased to see the natural ingredients used in the treat, and my dogs didn’t have a problem scarfing one down.

When I first heard about the product, the first thing that came to mind was my Chihuahua, Bella. Bella can get a bit nervous around strangers and can usually experience a bit of stress around company. I have been feeding her one treat per day, for the past few days now. Since it has only been a few days I am not expecting a huge change, but I will be sure to write another update in about a week or so. To my surprise, today she has shown slight improvement regarding barking at dogs outside the house – usually she will bark right away. Today however, upon hearing a dog outside, she became very alert as opposed to barking right away. She still shows signs of stress upon hearing other dogs, but so far I am pleased, and I can’t wait to see how she is a week from now!
As far as the quality of their product, I must say it is definitely above average. The packaging is very attractive and the treats themselves are high quality, natural treats. My partner and I are usually pretty picky when it comes to the ingredients in our dog’s treats, but these pass for sure!

Sometimes us dog lovers can get wrapped up in how cute our pups are, and may be inclined to spoil them with affection, or a treat. While this is great for your dog, too much of anything can be a bad thing. Too much affection can lead to jealous behaviour in the future, and too much food can lead to, well, you know. Here are some signs that you are giving your dog too much! 1. Your dog becomes jealous when you show affection to another dog 2. Your dog has become territorial over food 3. You can notice an increase in body mass 4. Your dog is constantly trying to get food from you 5. Your dog tugs on his/her leash There are plenty of other signs that your dog is receiving too much of a good thing. As long as you only reward for good actions and behaviors, your dog will be a great, balanced pup.
1. Walk 2. Meet-ups 3. Playdates The only way to ensure a very healthy and social dog is to be consistent with these activities. You wouldn’t want to be cooped up at home all the time with no one to talk to, so why would your dog? Happy socializing!
My pups, Rusty, Bella, & Lucky So you’ve been living with just one dog, and are planning to add another to your family.

JanHow Much Is Too Much?
Cause: Too much affection
Cause: Too much affection and treats
Cause: This one is easy, cut down on the treats!
Cause: It is best to only give your dog treats as a reward for good behaviour. Don’t let him/her think they can have them whenever they want!
This is a sign that there is a lack of leadership. Your dog should be the follower and you should be a leader. Make sure to only give affection when your dog has been good.
One of the most important aspects of raising a good dog is developing and maintaining his/her social skills. In order to raise a friendly, outgoing, and curious puppy he/she has to be taken out on a daily basis. Daily interaction with other dogs on walks, and with other humans is imperative to creating good behavior. Here are some great ways to get your dog to socialize!
Take your dog on walks everyday so that they can meet other dogs and other humans regularly. Just like us humans, if we are in our homes for too long without social interaction we tend to lose a bit of our social skills, and may not be great at meeting new people after a long while. The same goes for dogs – they may be inclined to bark at a dog across the street because they are not used to normal interaction due to a lack of walks.
Meet-ups are an amazing way to socialize your dog, as they can meet many different types of dogs and owners at once. You can find meet-ups around your area at http://www.meetup.com. My Chihuahua Bella benefited a lot from local small dog meet-ups. Her behavior towards new dogs and people has improved a lot ever since I started taking her to meet-ups.
Sometimes meet-ups can be a little hectic for a dog that needs work on his/her social skills. However, you can start slow by setting up a playdate with a friend’s dog. That way, your dog can establish a healthy relationship with another dog without the distraction of other dogs around. Once a nice friendship has been established, that is a great first step towards a social pup.
