Trendy Carrybag by Reisenthel is the solution! A combination of aluminum and resistant polyester (easy to keep clean).

As we experience on a daily basis here at The Dog Bowl, not everyone has the same "house rules" for their dog(s).

Whatever your house rules/training rules are for your dog one thing is certain - your dog will not succeed unless you (and the whole family) are consistent.

We are currently helping out a friend and client of The Dog Bowl with the training of her Jack Russell Terrier named Dylan (shown on the left with Jennifer). He was a rescued pup and she adopted him approximately 3 years ago... We think he is around 5-6 years old. If you have come into our retail storefront recently you have had the "pleasure" of having us beg you to pet him. (He will be staying with us until tomorrow, Saturday.)

Dylan has A LOT of anxiety... Which many of you know is usually expressed as aggression. In Dylan's case he always needs a "job" and a place to just "be". Many dogs are like this - large or small! So even if you think a smaller dog breed is "easier" guess again! Dylan, for example, has proven to be a challenge, but we are working through it. Every day brings an opportunity to train and work with him (and his visitors/friends). To quote Cesar Millan "Rehabilitate dogs.... train people." Because dogs do behave the way we want them to - this includes the good or the bad.

In our quest to assist Dylan we had to first learn how to best communicate with him and react in an appropriate manner with any negative or inappropriate behaviors "in our pack" we came across Training DVD's as well as Breed Specific DVD's (now offered at The Dog Bowl Online Storefront). These were very helpful in his rehab!

We also took in a few of Cesar Millan's videos & would like to share a few of our favorite points from his show on National Geographic:

• Don't let them climb on you.... You tell them where to be.
• One of the most important things Cesar wants to get across is that dogs are dogs—not humans! (So they communicate differently than we do.)
• Often the solution we would use for a human is totally wrong for solving a dog’s issues.
  
• Nose/Eyes - claim your space If you reward dominance YOU become a part of HIS pack. His tail is up - checking you out with dominance.
• Discipline is not about being mean it is about being a great dog owner, the greatest.
• Discipline vs. releasing frustration on an animal is not good. It is not good with being angry and then touching anybody (much less your dog). Being calm & assertive to protect yourself.
• When a naturally submissive dogs lives with a human that does not lead, he or she will attempt to right the pack balance by filling what they see as a vacant pack leader role. This is how behavior problems develop.
  
• If dog is aggressive - Do not touch, no talk, no eye contact with dog. Agression is NOT a breed thing. Aggression is a state of mind.
• No one has ever challenged him - he has gone to "the red zone". Dominant needs to challenge him in the red zone. Challenge in a calm & assertive state.
• 2 dogs - 1 touch the other 1 touches.... 1 is going to win.
• Aggression is a result of 1 or 2 things: (1) Animal that is controlling the situation. (2) Animal that is the pack leader.
• If the animal that is the pack leader. Aggression is NOT what happens right away the OUTCOME (behavior) of insecurity, frustration, anxiety, tension... We don't know what the exact source is.
• Dog is more powerful in their own environment - neurotic behaviors come out in that environment.
• Once they feel how good it feels to be a balanced dog they feel good & say "hey let's do this more".
• Improve your relationship with your dog! Learn how to achieve balance and establish pack leadership with practical tips and techniques.
  
• Easier to influence calm submissive mind than excited submissive mind. Practice NO talk, can touch & can look at him, but sound brings excitement.
• Consistent with expectations of the dog & consistent with behaviors that we allow & with what we do not allow.
• The more you learn about dog psychology, the better you will be able to connect with your canine companion!
• Remember, there are no quick fixes; pack leadership is a year-round 24/7 commitment.
• Prioritize what is best for the dog.

The Dog Bowl has two wonderful solutions if you have to walk two dogs at one time! We offer a nylon rolled double dog leash and also a leash coupler (coupler works with your current leash).

The Double Dog Leash (shown to the left) is our most popular leash for walking two dogs.

The patented SlideLok Coupler creates the distance you desire between both dogs. It also allows one dog to have a shorter or longer leash that the other - this is great for the one that like to walk faster or slower!

The Dog Bowl is now offering free shipping for the Double Dog Leash (shown top left). This makes a great gift for anyone who struggles with walking two dogs! It also is a great way to train a dog along side a dog that walks well - adjust the SlideLok down to keep both dogs close to each other. They will begin to work and walk as a team and the SlideLok will take all the pressure and tension of their battle!

This double dog leash is available in seven different colors and a handy key ring (shown) which allows a quick exit from your house with the pups! Oh... and we almost forgot to mention the Double Dog Leash also comes with a cushy grip handle (shown) - which makes walking two dogs even more comfortable for you!

The second option we offer at The Dog Bowl is the Leash Coupler (second photo, bottom left). This option comes in seven colors and works with your leash. It simply allows you to modify your one leash.

The coupler is an easy addition to any leash because the leash coupler allows you add a dog anytime you want - this is a great option if you are a foster home for a second dog.

Professional dog walkers also love this option - it is a handy addition for adding a second dog to your walk! Ordering two couplers will also allow you to walk four dogs at once and you will only have to have one (or two) leashes. (Please note: Choosing the number of leashes to use with the coupler is up to you of course & depends on your dog walking skill level, but most people have no problems once they work with their dogs for a little while.)

Both dog leashes mentioned are made of rolled nylon material (not cotton) so they will last & do not stretch out or fade. These leashes are proudly made in the U.S.A.!

For years, people have relied on simple dog or cat identification tags. The problem is tat pet owners often fail to update them when their contact information changes. Each new address or phone number means the dog or cat needs a new tag - sometimes not on the top of the minds of most pet owners. In addtion, this can be costly if you have multiple pets!

With The Dog Bowl's web enabled identification tags, however, pet owners can update information online with any internet connetion.

"Pet owners keep the information up to date in an instant so the animal can always be returned to them," explains The Dog Bowl salesperson. "The number one reason why this system works so well is because the data is visible when the pet is lost of found to be read. There are no special devices required in order for people to read the information - just a computer or cell phone with internet access."

A web enabled identification system works like this: When the family of the pet notes online the pet is missing that pet's profile goes live online @ The Dog Bowl.com for everyone to see (we have thousands of viewers). The finder of the pet simply goes to The Dog Bowl website (as stated on the tag "see me @ The Dog Bowl.com) and see's the missing pet's profile. From there they gain access to notify the pet owner that they have found the missing pet. The pet's profile can be updated at any time, which may include things as medical records, a picture, owner contact information and special notes.

The Dog Bowl's indentification tag comes a lifetime membership - so no more money spent on replaement tags for your animals! All is required is that you keep you important information up to date within your secure profile.

It is simple and VERY cost effective - for a limited time the tags are on sale for $8 each. Click here to purchase your's now!

The Dog Bowl recommends the Alpine Rope Harness! This rope harnesses for dogs is not only attractive and stylish, but the only rolled harnesses on the market. The rolled rope design makes these harnesses easier to wear (especially on long-haired breeds) and less heat retentive (for those long walks). Typical harnesses are made of flat nylon - this rolled alpine rope harness is out favorite! All items are handcrafted in the US from high-quality, braided rope with brass hardware.

For those of you who like to compare the best of the best, The Dog Bowl also recommends the Nylon Sequoia Harness. Sequoia Harnesses are manufactured with high-quality 64 carrier flat braided nylon material used in the Sequoia Collars and Sequoia Leads. The braided nylon material makes this one of the most comfortable and coolest harnesses on the market. In addition to being soft the ends of the nylon are finished so they do not scratch or rub on your pet's skin. (Most typical nylon harnesses are burned & left to unfinished at the seam & this can rub your pet raw! Take a look at your current harness to see how the seams are finished to make sure this is not happening to you little pup!)

Going for a long walk with fido this weekend? We put sunscreen on have you ever considered the sun protection for your dog?

At The Dog Bowl we have looked long and hard for a good sunscreen that doesn't contain harsh chemicals- and we have good news! We finally found a natural, vegan sunscreen for dogs!

We don't know if you ever thought about it.... But if you have a dog who has white fur you need some pup sunscreen for sure! Look at your pet's skin under the light fur - it is pale pink! This type of skin, much like ours, can burn when exposed to the sun. Ultimately your pet can get skin cancer just like we can. Specially on the tender areas like the head and nose should be protected.

Order now @ The Dog Bowl website: www.TheDogBowl.com (See "shop online" and "energy & environment tab".)

Here are The Dog Bowl we LOVE this Dog Sunscreen - plus it is also a fur conditioning treatment as well! There is nothing better than giving a little extra conditioner to the fur! A wonderful product if you pet has long hair!

It is never too late to protect your pets from sun damage! He/she will live longer, healthier life because of your preventative care from the sun's damaging rays!

You might not have a second thought to seeing someone walking a dog. But there are several reasons to walk a dog and types of dog walking:

(1) Training! A big part of training a dog consists of bonding and affirmation of "the pack" while walking. Part of the pack so to speak will consist of a leader. Ever see the "out of control" dog walking his handler and wonder "who is walking who"? This is not the type of walking that would be considered training - where the dog is pulling ahead. A dog(s) should always walk on a leash either next to or behind their handler. Think of it this way: It is impossible for a dog to see what you are doing if they are in front of you!

(2) Sometimes the person walking the dog(s) is a dog walking professional. This is a service that hires a person to handle and walking dog(s). Also this person could be in charge of training and/or exercising the dogs as well as allowing them to do their "business" while on walks.

(3) For obvious reasons... To go potty! Hopefully you see this person carrying poo bags and picking up the poo as well. The Dog Bowl has a few stylish options as well as biodegradable refills. There is nothing worse than leaving dog poo or walking your dog through someone else's! Yuck!

For some training tips on how to walk a dog The Dog Bowl has some tips (click here). Also we have lots of information about training your dog (click here).

Just a few things to know about dog etiquette:

(1) If you want to greet someone's dog while on a walk ALWAYS ask the person who is walking the dog! Maybe they are training or going somewhere & don't want to make new friends. It is polite to ask before you assume that person is "ok" with you approaching. Also sometimes the dog is not friendly - for your safety and out of respect always ask!

(2) Always keep your dog on a leash! Even if you and your dog are "familiar" with the area that doesn't mean they are safe from unexpected situations. For example, you could cross paths with someone else walking a dog aggressive dog on a leash & your pet is not. You will not be able to control your dog from approaching the other person's dog - this is a potentially bad situation for everyone. Not every dog is friendly even though yours may be!

(3) Always pick up your dog poo! The Dog Bowl carries cool poo bag containers and biodegradable poo bags, so your walk can be practical and in style! There is nothing worse than seeing "trash bags" tied to a leash - definitely not stylish or environmentally thoughtful! Well actually, there is something worse than seeing tacking trash bags tied on a leash, seeing dog poo while on your walks tops that as tacky!

(4) Never attempt to feed someone else's dog a treat! Their dog may be on a special diet, or could be at his/her max for food calories that day. If you want to get a dog a treat simply love it with affection and attention (if that is ok with their owner - always ask)!

(5) Never give someone else's dog a command like "sit", "come", etc. A dog may be trained certain commands - you may not know "how" or "what" that command is. Some trainers use hand signals or noises. Consistency in training is the key & a command coming from a stranger is not appropriate nor reaffirming of what is needed from that pet - you don't want to confuse them! Again, love them with attention and petting if that is "ok" with their owner. (Out of respect to the pet's owner and potentially countless hours that a person has worked with their dog there is rarely ever a need for a stranger to give commands to someone's pet.)

(6) We know it seems impossible, but not everyone likes dogs! Always ask if you want someone to pay attention to your dog - if they would like to say hi! This initiates that it is ok for a stranger to approach your dog. This is especially appropriate if the stranger has kids - it is an open invitation and always appreciated to just ask!

For anyone who has done some training with their pet we hope you can pass these tips on to someone who needs them! Training & reinforcing behavior you want is key to your pet's happiness!

Ok people.... Let's talk about traveling with your pet. You put your pet in the front seat of the car & we all know you have done it a thousand times, and were "not going that far", "He doesn't want to be away from me", "He likes the front seat".... We have heard all the excuses! But let's face it - this is not safe!

Having a dog loose in your car, let alone in the front seat, is unacceptable!

Consider the safety precautions one takes when traveling with children:
