Dog Owners Frustrated By Dogs Pulling on Leads

A recent observation by leading dog publication K9 Magazine has shown that dogs who pull on the lead are one of the main causes of dog owner stress. The magazine's website experienced a large volume of enquiries from owners desperate to cure this specific behavioural problem.

More than 53% of users of the site who accessed the dog training articles were interested in how to cure their dog pulling on the lead.

Charles Vincent, who is associate publisher of K9 Magazine comments:

"For a lot of owners, having a dog that pulls on the lead is actually quite a miserable experience. This is particularly true of older people or owners of very strong dogs. In fact, we've had people contact us who have explained that they get genuinely depressed at the idea of having to take their dog for a walk if they think it's going to be spent being pulled all over the place."

In some cases, dog owners have turned to professional dog training services such as Diamond Dog behaviour (a Durham dog trainer in the UK) in an effort to cure this upsetting behavioural trait.

Facts:

- 53% of K9Magazine.com users who accessed dog training material wanted information on curing pulling

- 29% of visitors to pet business directory, PetFriendlyWorld.com, wanted information on hiring a professional dog trainer.

In the UK, there are more than 5m dogs. With more and more dog owners using online services to help them cure specific behavioural problems, Total Pet Publishing (publisher of K9 Magazine) monitors ongoing search trends and answer solutions from pet owners. Dog owners are increasingly the focus of media attention resulting from bad or dangerous behaviour. The UK Government recently announced it would not be following up plans to implement compulsory insurance for everyone who owns a dog.

Life Lessons From Dogs (Ryan O'Meara)

Think like a dog and win at life says author of new book.

Ryan O'Meara, dog trainer and publisher of K9 Magazine claims in his new book 'Clever Dog: Life Lessons From Man's Best Friend' that thinking like a dog can improve our happiness, prosperity, friendships and decision making abilities.

In arguably the greatest self-help book of all time written by the man who literally wrote the book on how to get more from life, relationships and careers, Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' tantalisingly revealed a life lesson that deserves the attention of a more comprehensive study.


Carnegie's seminal work named the dog as "the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known".


The self-help guru then went on to say:

"Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn't have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love.”

If one of the most illustrious self-help minds of the past century can spot the value of thinking and behaving in line with man's best friend, Ryan O'Meara has taken the concept on to the next level in this book which reveals the hidden secrets behind...
  • The dog's unique approach to conflict resolution. (learn to settle disputes favourably and without shedding blood).

  • The dog's incredible (world famous) abilities to endear themselves to people and other animals, with a mere wag of a tail. (how to win REAL friends for life).

  • How to the dog deploys unique mental techniques to cope with stress, illness and high pressure situations (how to be happier and healthier with positive mental attitude)

  • Identifying and understand pack dynamic and prosper (how to get ahead in life, career and become prosperous without hurting people)

  • How to survive when the odds are against it. (how to tough out the harshest of times and come out smiling)

Clever Dog examines the pivotal role dogs have played in the evolution of society, countries and culture. Did you know: had it not been for a dog, we may never have even heard about Alexander The Great?

The book is a fresh and innovative study of how man's best friend earned his name and, more importantly, how we can copy him to improve our mood, financial success, survival skills and ability to make more friends than we'd even know what to do with. In short, if you want to learn the secret to why the dog is the most loved animal on the planet, read this book.

Puppy House Training Why New Owners Struggle

A recent study by UK dog publication K9 Magazine has revealed that puppy house training is considered the hardest thing to deal with for new and inexperienced dog owners.

The survey, which interviewed 100 owners of dogs less than 6 months old, showed that the greatest strain in the face of new owners is training their dogs not to go to the bathroom inside the home.

Many dog ​​owners get discouraged when training their puppy at home when it seems that the dog has mastered the habit and then apparently reverts to old ways a few days later.

K9 Magazine's editor, Ryan O'Meara, the common problem faced by owners of new dogs:

"Often, when someone purchases a dog for the first time, they might never have been exposed to the dirty side of dog ownership. Sometimes it can take people a while to get used to the idea of ​​their beautiful home being turned in to a toilet by a cute puppy and therefore the stress of getting this particular behaviour correct can exceed other dog training targets."

The study indicates that 89% of owners had turned to the Internet to help them succeed in-house training their puppy.

84% said that the resources such as K9 Magazine's puppy training tips and eBooks had proved 'very useful' in helping to accomplish dog training goals.

Along with the house training a puppy, the biggest problem dog owners complained about new puppy ​​biting and howling.

K9 Magazine has produced a series of tip sheets and reports to treat the most common behaviour problems faced by new puppy owners - click -.

Lifetime Dog Insurance: Pet Owners Miss Out

Dog owners are missing out on lifetime pet insurance cover due to oversight / pricing bias -

A recent study by leading dog publication K9 Magazine has revealed that 6 out of every 10 dog owners are unaware whether their dog is actually covered for life by the terms of their pet insurance policy.

http://i.imgur.com/nxJiz.jpg?5986

The survey, which quizzed 100 dog owners who had purchased pet insurance policies in the past 12-months, asked whether or not they could say for certain that their dog was protected by the insurance for the duration of their natural life.

A staggering 60% admitted that they weren't sure and didn't check the policy smallprint when they purchased the pet insurance product.

K9 Magazine's associate publisher, Charles Vincent, believes this pattern is not unusual:

"With the advent of price comparison shopping sites, more and more people tend to be drawn purely to what they see as a bottom line price on insurance products - be they for their pets, cars, homes or even their own lives. The problems occur when people overlook glaring omissions in the product which can in turn lead to heartache down the line as they find that at the time when their pet is most in need of cover, their policy doesn't cater for it.

K9 Magazine has put together a simple, easy to follow tip sheet on buying lifelong pet insurance and understanding the benefits of lifetime pet insurance cover.
