Sushi, the pug and Bonkers, the Shih Tzu do the happy dance…
After learning that dogs everywhere have risen up and proclaimed “cats do not taste like chicken”, Sushi and Bonkers were seen rejoicing at a local disco. It has been a long hard month of campaigning but according to Sushi, “It has all been worth it”. “Cats everywhere can now rest easy”.
“We are not done yet”, proclaimed Bonkers. “We still need to insure that humans provide a tasty all natural dog treat, like bully sticks to replace the cat fur normally in a dog’s diet”.

You’re Wrong - Cat’s do not taste like Chicken
Contrary to popular belief … Cat’s do not taste like Chicken
At least that’s according to Sushi the pug and Bonkers the Shih Tzu. These pooches are on a mission to create harmony between cats and dogs. If more dogs would just eat bully sticks, there would be less problems with cat attacks.

3 Tips For Getting Your Dog To Mingle
When you bring a new dog home, you’ll need to take steps to socialize him. It’s an ongoing effort over your dog’s life and is a critical component of his development. A dog that hasn’t been exposed to others (whether people or other dogs) poses a risk. Dogs can become uncomfortable or agitated quickly. Factors such as loud noises, other dogs, and even people wearing hats can cause your dog to become alarmed. In that state, they’re unpredictable.
Eventually, you’ll want to take your dog with you to the park, beach, friend’s house, or any place where others might be. Below, we’ll give you 3 quick tips for encouraging your dog to mingle well with others.
Tip #1: Obedience Class
Whether you’re trying to socialize a puppy or a fully-grown adult dog, enroll him into an obedience class. He will be exposed to other people and dogs in a controlled environment. Plus, your dog will learn that others do not necessarily pose a threat to you. As a result, he’ll learn to remain relaxed in the presence of those who are unfamiliar to him. The earlier you do this, the better.
Tip #2: Inviting Friends Over
Invite 1 or 2 friends over to your house. This is an opportunity to socialize your dog in an uncontrolled environment (that is, without an obedience instructor). Over time, have other friends stop by. Ask them to do so in pairs, if possible, so your dog doesn’t feel overwhelmed. By doing this, you continue the education process whereby your dog learns that people who are unfamiliar to him are typically non-threatening.
Tip #3: Training On The Go
Grab your dog’s leash and take him for a walk. If possible, start in a sparsely populated area. A few people walking their dogs as cars race by can provide your dog with the loud stimuli he needs to grow accustomed to the noise and activity. As your dog grows more comfortable, take him for walks in more densely populated areas with more traffic. Doing this will desensitize his natural instinct to become alarmed.
Lifetime Socialization
By using the tips above, you can gradually transform your dog into a sociable pet that is friendly with others. If your dog resists the efforts by barking, sniffing, or jumping on people, try to react subtly and refocus his attention on you. Try to encourage him to focus on something other than that which prompted the undesirable behavior. Also, it is important that you reward your dog generously for good behavior with dog chews like bully sticks. Over time, your dog will become the companion that you can take anywhere you go.
It is quickly approaching Halloween time, where parents get excited to not only dress their children up and parade them around town, but also their pets. The statistics show that one in ten parents are now dressing up their pet as well as their kids. This relates to a stunning 160 million dogs and cats that end up in those embarrassing costumes (or at least the dogs and cats think so). Not only are they dressed up, but in many cases they are marched around in parades and brought to costume parties to show off their best looks.
Animal behaviorists say that these types of bonding events between humans and their animals help build stronger bonds. Not only do these types of events give families bonding time together, but they also help the pets to become more socialized.
This year’s favorite costumes are going to be a bumble bee equipped with a stinger, a cow, and a mail man which is sporting a “Mutt Mail” logo. Also, for cats there is going to be devil, witch, pumpkin, and of course a mouse costume.
The only disadvantage for the pets in all of this excitement is that they do not get to eat candy afterwards. However, it doesn’t mean that after all this trick or treating that they don’t deserve to get some natural bully sticks !
