	Apparently, for a fee, a busy family is able to rent a pet dog for a week or whatever time period they require. The aim is to provide the companionship of a pet dog to busy people without them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	According to Wikipedia, &#8216;alpha&#8217;, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, denotes the first of a series of items or categories and in the case of a group of animals it means &#8216;the socially dominant individual&#8217; or leader.

	In other words &#8216;Alpha Dog&#8217; and &#8216;Leader of the Pack&#8217; are the same thing really aren&#8217;t they? In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	This is the method we&#8217;ve been using to train Kylie to stop pulling every time she&#8217;s out on the leash. It&#8217;s really helped me as Kylie is much stronger than me and will only get stronger as she matures.

	

	It&#8217;s quite simple really, all you need to do is keep your dog an a short leash [...]]]></description>

	It never ceases to amaze me the reasons that callous dog owners give for abandoning their pets&#8230; if they give a reason at all that is.

		<description><![CDATA[	In the previous article I mentioned that there were two main types of aggression in dogs. We dealt with one type in that article &#8211;  namely dog aggression toward strangers &#8211; and today we&#8217;ll talk about a common problem with quite a lot of dogs, that is:

		<description><![CDATA[	Dogs are aggressive creatures by instinct. In the wild aggression is necessary as it helps dogs to hunt, defend themselves from other creatures, and to defend resources such as food, mates and a place to sleep.
