Dog & Puppy Training
Having a puppy is a great experience but it can also be overwhelming, you want to make sure your dog knows who’s in charge.
Having a trained dog is not the same. If your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future.
Where do you start with dog obedience training? You can do it by yourself. It can be fun for both of you and your dog. Or you could enroll your dog for classes if ...

Dear Kuching city, I really need your help. 3 of our doggies went missing this morning. (One has been found already)
Missing area: 3rdmile, near HuiSing area, Seng goon area, Jalan Tai Shin Jar.
3 of them should be in a fearful and confused state of mind. We hope with the power of Facebook, we can find our lost doggies. They mean the world to us. I don't know how I can express my appreciation whom that may be able to help out. Thank you very much.
Kindly share around this post to your friend...

Eversince the rabies outbreak in July, dumping of puppies is prevalent. We receive an average of 1-2 puppies a day.
Today, the puppies were placed near the drainage, luckily it wasnt heavy downpour. We pray that people would just stop doing this 'old skool' tactic and start to be responsible pet owner.
DESEX thy pets, and rehome these puppies - these are responsibilities of pet owners.

Walk the Shelter Dogs (WSD) Program
We managed to hold our first WSD yesterday with 7 volunteers. We roped in one of the dogs trainers, Mr Andy Lo, to give some tips on walking our shelter dogs.
If you can’t have a dog at present, or would just like to help a rescue dog, you can join our dog walking programme.
Taking a dog for a much-loved walk away from the kennel environment, is not only about giving our dogs a physical workout; but also great for their mental stimulation. In addition a ...

# BRING US HOME #
Do you know that most dogs and cats do not have a home due to no fault of their own? Our dogs and cats are full of lovable, active and healthy, just waiting for someone to take them home.
By taking home a dog/cat adopted from our animal shelter, not only are you saving that pet, you're either making room in the rescue so they can save another pet, or making room at the shelter itself.
As you can see, dog/cat adoption is truly a continuous cycle of saving lives, and it's th...

Why are they born in the first place?
Why are we breeding these puppies and yet we chose to dump them on the street to fend by themselves?
If these puppies were intelligent enough, they would have known how to cross our busy streets.
If these puppies were clever enough, they would hide from our councils' dog catchers, escaping from being culled and euthanasia.
But, they arent smart enough! They thought everyone is willing to give them second chance - a loving home to stay.
Please stop br...

Do you talk to your dog? All the time? It just not the simple commands such as 'sit' and 'stay' but rather talking to your dog, you know, as if your dog were a person.
Dogs understand what some human words mean, according to a study in Hungary, published in the prestigious journal 'Science'.
They discovered that dogs’ brains process language in a similar way to humans, with the right side dealing with emotion and the left processing meaning.
It was only when both sides of the brain agreed...

Part 3: Puppy and You
Before bringing a puppy home, you will need to be prepared:
Provide time and space for your puppy to play.
Getting safe toys to keep your puppy stimulated.
Provide a cage, hiding places and/or cosy bed in a quiet, draft-free place where your puppy can rest undisturbed.
Remove anything poisonous or that you don't want them chewing.
6 months onwards - further dog training and neutering
Puppies are still learning so continue reward-based training and keep all experience...
