There are lots of choices when shopping for a pet stroller for your pet. Pet strollers are great for small pets and older less mobile pets. You can even take kittens, bunnies and other pets for outings. Choosing the right pet stroller for your pet is a large factor in the enjoyment of your walks with your pet.

Some popular pet strollers employ a collapsible design that is great for travel. Similar to many baby stroller models the collapsible pet stroller allows for easy storage and portability. Other models have a removable basket that are great for getting your sleeping pup from the car to the house. Some even function as a car restraint as well as a convenient carrier.

It is important to choose a pet stroller that will safely accommodate your pet’s size and weight. Pets should be able to comfortably turn, sit, stand and lay down in the pet stroller with ease. Your pet’s comfort is the main goal so make sure to choose a pet stroller that gives them enough room to move around.

Chihuahua Training

by John Savage

I have heard it said that a Chihuahua is a very difficult dog to train, and this puts a lot of people off of them. But this just is not true. They are great dogs for doing tricks with, they are intelligent, and most importantly, they are highly trainable.

Consistency and treats are the keys to successful training. Like most other animals, Chihuahuas respond to positive results. If they do something and get a positive result, such as praise and a treat, they are likely to repeat the action in an attempt to get the same positive result.

Its positive training that really works. Reward them when they get it right, but do not punish them when they get it wrong just resolve to keep on working at it until it comes right.

When you ask them to do something, and they do it, go overboard with your praise, and your treats, and they will probably do the same again next time. If they don’t just withold the treat until you get the desired action.
