How to play with your dog?

Playing is important for the dog to feel loved and for his emotional and physical well-being. Here are some tips to play with your can be a pleasure for both:

Tug of war. This is a game that your dog will love, because it is the innate desire in them to want to throw with their mouth everything they see and everything they want. For this game you should look for a toy or long teddy that you can hold at one end and your dog at the other. In addition to a game, this method will help you teach your dog voice commands like "take it" or "let it go".

Throw objects at him. This is another innate attitude of dogs: running after everything that flies or after everything that moves. There is not much to explain about how to play this with your pet. Show him an object, make sure he follows it with his eyesight and throw it, waiting for him to run for it. The most difficult thing is that I give it back to you, but this will be a good opportunity to teach you the "dame" voice command.

Hide and Seek . This is not the easiest game to play with a dog but you can be sure that you will laugh a lot. To play with your dog in hiding you will need the help of someone else to hold your dog while you hide. If you want to make things easier, you have a candy or one of your toys in your hand.

Vocabulary . Not that we want you to teach your dog to speak, but he can learn to relate the vision of an object to his name . For example, if you have a walking dog toy, name it when you give it or when you ask for it. Say the word "toy" as many times as you can so your dog can learn it quickly.

Other tips to play with your dog

Buy toys for your dog. Although dogs love to run and jump, having toys is something that drives them crazy. Give your dog that whim! But how do you choose the right toy?

Active toys. These are the ones like remote control cat that allow your dog to run after them, bite them and finally, destroy them. There is a wide range to choose from and it will be your dog who will guide you to your tastes.

Soft toys. Do not pick too hard toys as they could damage your teeth. These should be adapted to improve your teeth but at the same time to entertain them instead of immersing them in an ordeal.

Distracting toys. These may be a bit more expensive, but they are excellent for your pet's mental agility and entertainment.

 Alternate toys. Dogs usually get bored quickly, so finding 3 or 4 toys they love will help you to alternate them every day and prevent your pet from falling into boredom.

These are just some suggestions for you to play with your dog, but surely you can think of many more with a little effort. Play with your dog, give him time and make him a happy dog.

How to clean a fish tank

Fish are very sensitive and therefore, keeping the fish tank clean is very important to give them a better quality of life. In this article we tell you how you have to clean your fish tank without empty your fish completely.

Preparations :

An empty bucket

1 network

A water siphon

1 clean towel

Conditioner for water

Algae scraper

Process:

Place the towel on the floor in front of the fish tank, so you can absorb any spills that may occur while cleaning the fish tank.

Carefully remove all large aquarium decorations from the bowl and clean them with a cloth sponge and running water.

Use an algae scraper to clean the inside glass of the fish tank, start by wiping with the rough surface of the sponge and then with the smooth surface in ascending and descending movements.

Use the net to remove any debris that may appear on the surface of the water.

Now proceed to change some of the water. Place the smaller end of the siphon into the bowl and place the larger end inside the bowl.

With gentle but fast movements, shake it up and down inside the water, in this way the siphon will begin to absorb the water from the fish tank.

Place the siphon on the dirty gravel so you can suck up the dirt, always being careful that no stone is trapped inside the siphon hose.

You do not have to remove all the water from the fish tank so when you have reached 10% or by a lot to 15% you will have to remove the siphon from the fish tank.

You also do not have to clean all the gravel of the fish tank, only some parts.

Now put the clean fish decor in the bowl, add new water from the faucet in the bowl to finish filling the bowl with the water conditioner, and pour the water slowly into a corner of the bowl to avoid disturbing the fish.

The amount of water you make in the fish tank depends on how many fish you have and how often you clean it, if you clean it every week, the amount of water you will change will be 10-15%. If you clean it every two weeks, the amount will be 25%.

You can also use a pH test kit to find out if the water in the fish tank is suitable for your fish or not.

Whether you have to clean a small or large fish tank , these tips will be useful to make it look without causing problems to your fish.
