The dog is a mammal in the order Carnivora. Dogs were first domesticated from wolves at least 17,000 years ago, but perhaps as early as 150,000 years ago based upon recent genetic fossil and DNA evidence though there is doubt about the accuracy of this mitochondrial DNA evidence. In this time, the dog has developed into hundreds of breeds with a great degree of variation. For example, heights at the withers range from just a few inches (such as the Chihuahua) to roughly three feet (such as the Irish Wolfhound), and colors range from white to black, with reds, grays (usually called blue), and browns occurring in a tremendous variation of patterns. Dogs, like humans, are highly social animals and this...

Anton Chevreul, during the eighteenth century was the first to discover that information in the subconscious mind could be uncovered using a pendulum. The process of using the pendulum, which should be part of any hypnosis training program, allows the subconscious mind to create minute movements which are magnified by the pendulum. This ability to make muscular movement without conscious effort is called "ideomotion." As a suggestibility test, a client is instructed to concentrate and hold the pendulum over the center of a figure that consists of + over a circle (see figure). While doing this, she is instructed to look either up and down or back and forth over the figure, and to think in the same...

Some dogs are prone to bite. At least, that's what many in the media would have your believe. The top 3 breeds that seem to not only get bad publicity but also are involved in biting are the Pit Bull Terriers, Rottweilers and German Shepherd Dogs. Now on the surface, this may seem to many to suggest that these three dog breeds are dangerous. At least, this is what the media would like you to believe. While there's no denying that these breeds have been known to bite, the sensationalism and hype by the media has sometimes generated almost hysteria like fervor in the general public against these breeds. While the media prefers to focus on the fact that a dog has bitten someone, they neglect to develop...

Divorce and Parenting Pawns in the game Vinita Panjabi recalls, "When Sanjay and I decided to get a divorce, I think we fought the most about who would keep the children. I remember being so angry and hurt that I wanted to hit back in any way possible. I just wanted to leave and take my children with me so that I could forget that I had ever been married to him." Divorce is usually a bitter and acrimonious process. Desperate to get out of a bad marriage and to hurt each other as much as possible, couples become blind to the needs of their children. Children often become pawns in the game of one-upmanship that often accompanies divorce proceedings. Divorce spells the end of a couple's relationship as...

Akeisha wrote to me with some very good questions. Ive included her letter (and my responses) below: [Akeisha] Hi its Akeisha again. I do see what you mean if it is on all the time the dog will soon forget it is on and then will behave regardless. Ok, so the dog never wears a buckle collar again? This is what irks me. I want to be able to control the dog regardless of what collar is on not just the pinch or it could be no collar at all and the dog still behaves. What if the owner for some reason takes off the collar then they put the buckle collar on for ID but then forget the pinch collar? Then there is no control. [Adam] WRONG! The dog gets conditioned. Take off the collar for awhile. Doesn't...

For years we have been told to diet the excess fat from our bodies and throw in some fast walking to hastenthe process. The trouble with this is that the low calorie restricted diet would throw the body into starvation mode,with the body holding onto the fat and using precious muscle tissue for energy. This would lower the metabolism causing greater muscle loss and when the diet is broken the fat is returned becauseof the lower metabolism and even more is put onto the body. "A Vicious Cycle" The walking is good provided it is done fast enough to elevate the breathing and not to the point of huffing andpuffing which would be training your cardiovascular system. Soon you would pleateau with the...

Children's art paintings are fun to look at. They bring me good feelings. I have had a lot of jobs the last couple of years buying children's art to hang in various places. I have enjoyed every single job. I bought two children's art posters for the children's hospital to hang in one of their waiting area. They were both from Maurice Sendak's book Where the Wild Things Are. I loved that book when I was a kid and this art brought back some good memories. I found a Jim Daly children's art print to frame and put in the physical therapy lounge at a local rehabilitation center. They wanted to put together a friendly feeling place that would help keep kids entertained. I put the painting where parents can...

Over the years I have observed thousands of people training in almost every kind of gym. Watching someone work out, it is simple to almost instantly evaluate the level of their experience. Advanced lifters are easy to spot by their intensity and attention to form and focus. Intermediate trainees show signs of progress although they are often found chatting around the squat rack. In the third and largest group are beginners and usually they are completely lost. They don't understand the principles of resistance training, don't have a plan and don't know how to perform the basic movements. They go haphazardly through the motions, flirt with injury, see minimal improvement and usually drop out. IT...

When choosing a dog for a family, it's important to choose a breed carefully. Particularly nervous or highly strung breeds would not be great around children, particularly younger kids.

It tends to affect those with a reddish colored coat more, and is often associated...

Technically speaking, dogs as a separate species are supposed to be evolved from the wolves. Research indicates that the wolf mutated into several breeds, according to the climate, geography and the environment. As these separate breeds were assimilated and socially integrated into the human society, they became distinct as the domesticated dog. So you see, what we have as the pure bred dogs today, might not share the blood of the wolves any more but they do retain some instincts. One of these is the pack mentality. Part of a Pack Living in a pack made it easier for a breed to care for each other and provided the comforts of home, hearth and companionship. But not all were equal in a pack. There had...

Dog training is a necessity when you make the decision to keep a dog as a pet. Dogs, particularly larger ones, must be obedient, or keeping them becomes extremely hard work. In addition to their appreciation for being fed, as pack animals dogs have natural instincts that favour training. These instincts are manifested as a desire to please a trainer. This gives the dog trainer an unbeatable edge in shaping the dog's behaviour. While dogs can be trained for complicated, serious actions, such as rescue work, circus acts, or medical diagnosis, there are certain elements of training that almost all dogs can learn, to the benefit of both dog and trainer. Basically, dog training is about communication...
