Stop Dog Barking With These Tips

Is placing a dog in a crate mean? Canines, being den animals, may in fact like being kept in a den. Dogs at times once burrowed in the ground out in the wild if they wanted to sleep. The question that should be asked is why they bark and whine when in the crate. The simple reason might be that the pet is not accustomed to the crate. He believes that by barking, you'll let him out. You could potentially stop dog barking by making the crate or any other habitat for the animal pleasant and comfortable.

In the event the barking persists, there are actually additional approaches it is possible to employ to stop dog barking. Attempt to ignore him. Did you know that barking is actually their method to get attention? When they bark persistently and you come to him each time it only encourages the dog to keep on barking. The dog will soon realize that is the method to get attention and will consistently continue to bark anytime he feels he's not getting ample attention. When you pay no attention to the dog's barking he will ultimately give up on it.

Attempt to keep the dog busy with his favorite blankets, chew toys and various other preferred items when the dog is inside the crate. The objective here is to help the dog relax and help make him stop trying to get attention since he'll be busy with himself. The toys should be better positioned at the back of the crate far from the door. Just remember to not include toys that may bring harm such as rawhide. They can present the danger of choking your dog.

To stop dog barking the crate with the dog should be put in a room which has activity with other people. This might be in the corner of the dining room, kitchen or living room giving the dog sight of you. The dog in these kinds of conditions can feel a lot less isolated or less ignored. In case you put your dog inside a crate during the night it would work best to place the crate close to your bed where your dog will see you. The dog will see you sleep and know it's time for him to sleep also.

Acclimate the dog to the crate. Dogs who are not used to crates need to be introduced slowly to the crate until eventually they get adapted. That's when you will be able to leave him there for lengthier times. This can be started out by placing him inside a brief time every day to a couple hours per day as days pass.

Your dog must be made to exercise before being placed inside the crate. A dog that is exercised feels tired. This will make the dog lie down to sleep the instant he is placed in the crate. A dog that hasn't had some activity to do the whole day would like to come out and play and therefore resorts to barking to get the point across.

War Chest




Here's what i got from my latest shopping spree.
As you can see i'm toning down the colors of my wardrobe from flashy to neutral.
I got a pair of flats with embedded "necklace" that gives a fancy look to a simple shoe. They're perfect for those lazy days spent walking on the seaside or visiting a museum. And once back from the seaside i can step on the classic pair of peeptoes with the sparkly bow and head to the theater. I love them because the crystals are really shiny!
So the last bits of discounted sales put a big smile on my face.
I bought two pairs of shoes, so what about the third pair? Yes, they are my latest shoe diy project and yes they're inspired by the super elegant Valentino studded shoes but i'll tell you all about the making tomorrow.

Who are the new rockstar?

 Vogue Japan september 2011 cover

They have been on t-shirts all the time: Lady Gaga,Madonna,Elvis. Singers,actors and sometimes even models have been our idols and we wore their faces on t-shirts. Now designers are the new rockstars and we are their fans.
Only a season ago Dolce and Gabbana put Johnny Depp on a tee (and we all agree it was a good choice,isn't it?) but now here's a young Giorgio Armani printed on a tee on Vogue's cover and i'm loving it! I'd buy it! And you?


Prima sulle t-shirt c'erano Lady Gaga,Madonna,Elvis,oggi le vere rock star,gli idoli di cui siamo i fan sfegatati sono loro i designers!
Solo la scorsa stagione Dolce e Gabbana ci avevano messo Johnny Depp sulle t-shirt,come dargli torto del resto, ma ecco che per la prossima stagione un giovane Giorgio Armani compare sulla t-shirt indossata sulla copertina di Vogue. A me è come se l'avessero già venduta, e a voi? Vi convince?

Two things i love


coffeepot shoes design by Kobi levi

There are two things in my life i'm never bored of: new shoes and my coffee in the mornin,this design,incredibly, have both.
These unconventional shoes are like those paintings with optical illusion: you look once you see a vase, the second time you see a couple kissing. You look once you see a boot, at a closer look, it's coffeepot pouring coffee!
Kobi Levi's design amazes everytime, if you don't like his humour you may say "what the hell is that?" but his shoes certaintly won't go unnoticed!



Ci sono due cose di cui non posso fare a meno: nuove scarpe e caffè e questo design,incredibile a dirsi coniuga entrambi.
Queste scarpe sono come quei dipinti con l'illlusione ottica: li guardi una volta e vedi un vaso, la seconda volta una coppia che si bacia. Qui vedi uno stivaletto e guardando meglio ecco che invece vedi la brocca che versa il caffè!
Kobi Levi riesce ogni volta a lasciarci di stucco. Se non siete fan del suo humour esclamerete: "Che diavolo di scarpe sono?" e avreste una reazione negativa, ma in ogni caso non potrete rimanere indifferenti.
