If you’ve ever wondered if crate training puppies is a good idea, it is. If you have the right training yourself and some expertise, you can teach your dog or puppy that the crate is a secure place for him or her. However, this requires that you take the correct approach. If you take the wrong one, this can mean disaster for both you and your dog as well.

When it comes to crate training puppies, you need to first understand that the crate is not to be used as a means of punishment. Gently and gradually introduce crate training to your puppy. You should primarily use a crate for potty training purposes, and the potty training process itself should be a truly happy and positive experience, if you want your puppy to view the crate as a positive thing.

by Carla Hinsey

Do you know what an African Grey Parrot is? African Grey Parrots are becoming one of the all time favorites of bird lovers. These strikingly beautiful birds, that can out talk any four year old child, have charmed their way into many a household across the globe.

The African Grey is truly one of Gods’ special creatures. The Grey’s have the ability to express themselves in human language and emotion. Whatever language you speak, they can learn and communicate with you.

Skeptics argue that parrots can only mimic back what they have heard believing that even the most highly trained parrot doesn’t really understand what it is doing or saying. It’s possible that may be true for some species of parrots, but if you live with an African Grey you know deep in your heart that this argument is not a true at all. The African Grey, being a highly intelligent, deeply emotional, and hysterically witty bird would challenge even the hard-line skeptic.
