Having an animal is a responsibility that you should never take on lightly. Not only is it a responsibility to the animal but also a responsibility to yourself and to others around you.
This responsibility goes far beyond merely feeding your pet. If you have a dog you must also make sure that your pet is regularly exercised. A dog is often referred to as being mans best friend. For many people this is unfortunately not true. Often dogs which are not regularly exercised or disciplined can become unruly. Not only can this behaviour detract from your enjoyment of your pet but it can also be very distressing for the animal and for neighbours.
Symptoms of dog behavioural problems can include excessive barking, destruction of furniture and lack of house toilet training. In most extreme circumstances it can manifest itself as aggression towards both yourself and family and neighbours. (more...)
