"Down" is one of the most basic commands dogs can learn, along with "sit," "stay," and "speak." These commands help establish a bond between the animal and its owner. It's best to start teaching a puppy this command no earlier than three months of age. Training methods can be varied, including rewards (treats, verbal praise) and coercion (pressure on the withers). Training can be done outdoors or indoors: the main thing is to keep the environment clean and free from distractions. Method one: training a puppy with a treat. Perform this exercise when the dog is sitting or standing. Take a treat in your hand and hold it to the dog's nose, but allow it to nibble on it. To do this, make sure your palm is facing down, otherwise the dog may snatch the food from your hand. Say "Down," and then gradually lower your hand with the treat in an arc, downwards and forwards. The easiest way to get to the treat is to lie down, i.e., follow your command. When this happens, give the dog the treat and reinforce your success with praise.Read more

Even if you buy a pig from a breeder, a pet store, or from an ad, don't blindly trust the seller's assurances that it's a male or female—it's best to double-check. This can be done not only by a veterinarian but also by anyone—it's enough to understand the anatomy and behavior of guinea pigs. Distinctive sexual characteristics of adult guinea pigs Read more

Simply taking a cat for a walk isn't an option – they're often afraid of people, cars, and the frantic pace of modern life. Special devices, such as a harness, can help. Without one, a walk is no fun for either the animal or the owner. Cats wearing harnesses are increasingly common at veterinary clinics, at shows, and on public transportation. Let's find a harness for your cat, learn how to use it, and discover how to accustom your pet to this convenient feline device. Do I need to walk my cat? Unlike dogs, cats don't necessarily need to be walked – it's not required by necessity or the specifics of their living conditions. Domestic cats happily spend most of their lives within four walls. They're quite content to curiously watch the birds and the changing seasons from the window. However, cats aren't always eager to participate in all of this. A measured, calm way of life suits them quite well.Read more
