Dog Supplies for Training

Have you ever wondered how people have such obedient dogs, or how dogs manage to do such great tricks.
I watch in amazement sometimes the things dogs do for their owners, I quite often wonder how do they do that?
Of course it really is not hard, I started with some simple commands first, like placing a treat on the floor and asking them to leave, getting my dog to fetch and retrieve, these commands are all based on positive reward training.
Positive reward training is where all those great tricks come from, dogs love to be rewarded for their hard work and will aim please you at almost ever opportunity.
Dogs need mental stimulation and plenty of exercise, products that help with this are
- Agility training
- puzzle toys
- fetch toys
- running leads
- doggy dancing
- swimming
well to be honest there is much more.

Once you have found a pet friendly landlord the next step is to persuade them to accept your pet.
If your dog is already highly trained and has no behaviour issues then this should not be a problem, it would help even more if you could provide a glowing report about your dogs good behaviour, get a report from your vet or other professional body.
If you dog does have some behavioural problems, for instance
- scratching at doors
- barking when you go out
- barking when you let them into the garden
- jumping on furniture when not invited
- stealing food from cupboards
or similar problems.
If your dog has bevavioural problems then a landlord is less likely to accept your pet, however most problems can easily be resolved with a good training book, correction methods and positive reward training.
Most dog issues can be resolved quite easliy over a short period of time.

We have teamed up with amazon.co.uk to provide you with a great range of books at low prices.

Pet Friendly Rentals In Your Cat Magazine

We are so greateful when pet loving owners give us a mention. This time it was a cat owner who wrote into Your Cat Magazine about our service, and 'your cat' have very kindly published the letter in their October 09 edition.
The pet owner mentions how they have advertised their property to rent on our site Pet Friendly Rentals, and the reason is simple, this pet owner would hate the idea of somebody having to give their cat up because a suitable home to rent could not be found.

We so need more landlords to think like this, actually having a pet in your property does have many rewards see them here>>

Dog Killed by mistake while in the care of Met Police

We recently received an email about a story that touched our hearts and no doubt will touch many others.
The story of sam, a Staffordshire bull terrier Killed by mistake while in the “care” of the Metropolitan Police.
Sam died on 26th August 2009. However, his death could easily have been avoided if greater safeguards were in place. His case has highlighted a number of issues relating to seized dogs that must be dealt with to avoid further tragic deaths and a petition has now been set up to help draw attention to these issues.
Please watch the video and sign the petition below. How many more loving family pets need to be killed.

Pet Insurance For Tenants With Pets

PETPALS DIRECT LAUNCHES UNIQUE TENANT PET INSURANCE – MAKING AGENTS, LANDLORDS AND PETS HAPPY.............. What a great idea!!!

At pet friendly rentals we believe this is a step in the right direction, and may encourage more landlords to accepts pets.

Petpals Direct, the pet insurance specialist, has recently launched a new pet insurance policy that could make life easier for estate agents and letting agents across the UK. Perfect for smoothing deal-breaking situations where a landlord is not as keen on pets as the potential tenant, TenantCare Cat and TenantCare Dog insurance from Petpals Direct can be taken out by the pet-owner to insure against property damage the pet may cause to the rented accommodation.
Designed specifically for tenants living with cats or dogs, it is the only product of its kind on the market. Not only does it insure against property damage caused by the pet, it also includes cover for common types of accident and illness. With prices starting from just £5.17 per month for cat insurance, based on a six month old moggy living in Derby, or from £8.42 per month for dogs, based on a six month old Jack Russell living in Blackburn, the insurance offers a cost-effective way for tenants to secure the house of their dreams and cover expensive vet bills.
Tenant pet insurance from Petpals Direct offers peace of mind to tenants who are familiar with the high costs of moving. The policy allows tenants to claim £700 if there is damage caused by the pet during the first 36 months of occupancy, and £500 thereafter. In addition to the property damage cover, there is also £1500 of vet fee cover for cats in a number of specific illness and accident categories. These include: infectious diseases, cancer, feline lower urinary tract disease, feline asthma, diabetes mellitus, foreign body ingestion, bone fractures, defined poison ingestion, feline high-rise syndrome, bite wounds and bite wound abscesses, and burns. There is immediate cover with no waiting period, and no upper age limit. So, feline friends of all ages are welcome.
