All dog owners who have dogs know that despite the awesomeness of the animal, they can be pretty annoying with their excessive barking.  But what is a dog bark and what does barking mean or does for the animal? Well, for all dogs, barking is a major means of communication.  It is one of the plenty sounds your dog will emit according to the situation the dog is facing. Dogs will bark for the reasons listed.

To Ward Off Animals/Humans
Dogs will bark to ward off any animal or person it believes poses a threat to it's own territory. Yes, anywhere your dog lives it considers that area to be its own and you living with him.  So not because the friendly mailman is a nice guy who ensures that you get your mail on time, the dog sees him as passing the boundary and will bark. Your dog will bark at other dogs passing or even those next door. They will bark at vermin and other pets such as cats that passes in close or nose proximity. 

Dogs Bark When Playing
Dogs in a playful state will vocalise that happiness by barking.  Your dog will run, jump, catch the frisbee and will not remain a mime when doing this. Some dogs will bark much more than others though.

Dogs Bark as a Call for Attention
How else will your dog get your attention other that with a few barks. If the dog whines you will believe the animal is injured or ill. But when the dog barks and indicates that it wants you to follow him/her then the objective of your dog is attained.

Dogs Bark Because The are in Aggression
Some dogs were poorly bred. They were brought up to fight and love the taste of blood. These dogs are often chained or kept locked up all the time and develop mental and very aggressive issues. They tend to bark almost at any and everything.

Stop Your Dog's Annoying Barks
One of the most common complaint some god owners and the neighbor of dog owners is that some dogs are just at it the entire night barking and keeping the entire neighborhood up. Night time continuous barking by dogs is often caused by the dog is having run in with critters and other dogs. It could also be that the dog is scared of something and needs your attention.  So what do you as the dog owner will do to stop your dog's annoying barks? Here are a few pointers.

Check The Animal

• Some dog owners simply pull the sheets over their head and reinforce it with he pillow to zone out the barking. But ignoring a problem and praying for it to go away is no solution. Check with the animal to see if the animal is OK Physically.

Block Out What The Dog is Barking At

• Sometimes when you check your dog you will notice the canine looking in a particular direction while barking. If the area is not lit or lighting is dim. Get a light to shine in that area to see what it is. It could be a wild animal or worst, an intruder.

Move the Dog to An Area with No Disturbances

• So let us say you have a fence where your dog can see stray dogs running up and down the streets or you neighbors dog running a muck in the yard. Your dog will join in the up and down activities by running and barking at or with the other dogs.  Remove the barking influence and the barking will stop,

Ignore The Dog if the Barks are Spoilt Ones

• If your dog barks at you to get your attention for everything such as petting, food, cuddles, and everything else. You may have to begin ignoring these kind of barks until your canine understands that barking will not always give her what she wants.

Get a  Bark Suppressor

• Sometimes technology works wonders. Dogs will bark and make a lot of noise at nights when stray dogs come bundling at your gate. The best thing today us use a dog bark suppressor to get rid of the stray dogs and stop all barking immediately.

Teach Your Dog a Quiet Command

• Yes, it is a real command and it works for well trained dogs. Once your dog understand to obey this command, you will have no trouble with excessive dog barking.

Bark Too!

• So what do you think, you are too good to go barking beside the animal. Try kneeling down beside your canine and begin to bark beside the animal. He may just stop and look at you in a peculiar way and simply go lay down wondering why his owner has gone coo coo.

Play Soothing Sounds

• If your dog is one with anxiety issues and barks at your room door because of separation. You can start by playing soothing anti-anxiety sounds such as the falling of rain and many more to calm your dogs nerves. 

Stop Killing Your Dog With Water! Every living animal on this planet needs water. It is the source of life. In fact, the entire planet is surrounded by waters, above, on and below. But is all water safe for consuming? Well, water that is contained in catchment facilities such as dams are not quite the same as water coming from a spring which is purified by mother nature itself. 

Waters coming to your tap contains all sorts of chemicals that treatment facilities use to exterminate bacteria, but the bad thing about these chemicals is that no matter the small amount they tell you is safe to consume, over time those chemicals may have negative reaction to you or your dogs system. Scientist have raised alarm over the amount of chemicals placed in your drinking water for some time now. lets take a look how you may be slowly poisoning your dog.

What is in Tap Unfiltered Water?

Apart from Nemo trying to find his way back to the ocean by escaping through your tap. These are some dangerous chemicals found in your tap water:

• Liquefied chlorine
  Apart from making white clothe whiter, chlorine is used in the preparation of chlorides, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, polymers, synthetic rubbers, and refrigerants.  Pools are a reservoir of chlorine and people swim in it everyday. But dogs are much more sensitive and chlorine will affect A dog's eyes, nose and ears. If chlorine affects the outer areas of the dog, it will definitely have some negative effects on your dogs organs.
  
  
• Fluorosilicic acid
  Who wants their dog to be consuming acid? This kind of acid is vastly used across America in water treatment plants. It is almost as though the water contains some kind of devil they try to burn away. Fluorosilicic acid is of course harmful if it becomes in contact with skin or eyes. Not something which should be in your dogs stomach. 
  
  
• Aluminium sulfate
  Aluminium sulfate is a chemical compound with the formula Al₂(SO₄)₃. It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a coagulating agent in the purification of drinking water and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing​.  Side effects of continued consumption of this chemical in your drinking water are; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, skin ulcers, skin rashes, and arthritis-type pain were observed.  Your dog deserves much more than having these ailments after drinking water.

 

• Calcium hydroxide
  Calcium hydroxide is an odorless white powder. It's used in industrial settings, such as sewage treatment, paper production, construction, and food processing. It also has medical and dental uses. For example, root canal fillings often contain calcium hydroxide.  per-long intake of this chemical in your water can lead to:
  
  

1. vision loss.
2. severe pain or swelling in your throat.
3. a burning sensation on your lips or tongue.
4. a burning sensation in your nose, eyes, or ears.
5. difficulty breathing.

Help Your Dogs Health, Purify His/Her Water
I simply cannot begin to tell you the importance of having your dog consume good clean water. It is needed in so many health aspects of the animal. From clean gut system, good brain functionality and much more.  Water will forever be life and you dog deserves a good, healthy and long life. So stop giving your canine companion these poisons mentioned above in unfiltered water and begin filtering. It will prolong your dogs life.

We live in a world that house billions of people who have dedicated their lives to different faith. Theses faith come in the form of religions. Two of the major religions we have now are Christianity and Muslim. They may not always see eye to eye, but at the end of the day they all bow down and worship the being they believe is the creator, or God for that matter. But the good thing about religious people is that most of them have that same love and care for their pets as they have for their creator, and one particular pet that many religious persons have is a dog. Yep, the canine has managed to found it’s way into the middle of religion.

​This leads one to ask, if an animal such as a dog is grown in a Christian of Muslim home, does that dog automatically become a Christian dog? Or do dogs even understand the concept of prayer by its owner and knows that a God exist. The thing about man’s religion is that it is a complex thing and even those who share the same faith may not see eye to eye. But what if a world exist where the Gospel was based upon foundation of your dog’s belief? Don’t you think religion would be much simpler? I sure do. I have put together somethings that may happen if the Gospel was according to dogs.

​1. First Thing the Ten Commandments would simply change to one commandment.
Love others more than how you love yourself.  That’s it. You don’t need anything else, dogs show an unquestionable to to their owners, a love that has led to dogs laying down their own lives to defend their friend. I am sure this is the way of Jesus Christ. For once you love others more than you love yourself, then hatred seizes and most of the problems in this world disappears.
 
2. The Second Is to Make Church Gathering Fun
According to the Gospel of Dogs, Church gathering should always be about greeting, meeting, and discussion among people and simply not sitting down all day listening to one man in expensive suits tell you that you should love. Dog’s church gathering will always include treats, hugs and licks. I am sure that once you visit any of these gatherings put on by dogs you will never look back.
 
3. The Third Is To Throe Hell Away
All Dogs go to heaven……with their owners tagging along. So if all dogs will go to heaven with their owners tagging along on leashes simply means that there is no hell according to the dog’s Gospel. For in a doggy world, there is no such thing as a bad dog.
 
4. The Fourth Is To Reveal Truth
Dogs don’t know how to lie, they are just born spirits of truth. According to the Gospel of dogs, there is no hidden archive of scrolls buried deep inside high security laser beam, military, alien defense system. Dogs will be just open and tell you all you need to know about the Earth, the Sky, The Moon, Sun and Starts.

5. The Fifth is to Remove Graven Images
The Gospel of dogs have no graven image nailed anywhere for people to look at, cry, kiss or whatever they do when they encounter these graven images. The Gospel of dog will teach you that all is one under the sun and the spirit lives in and outside of you. You don’t need to kneel to a piece of board or copper molding.

6. The Six Is to Call All Religion Love
Yes, the Gospel of Dogs disposes of  segregation and think that segregation breeds disunity and chaos, so the gospel of dog only has one strong denomination and that is Love. So all gatherings according to the gospel anywhere in the world would simply be LOVE.

Now, if this is not the simplest form of religion I don't know what is. I don't know about you, but the Gospel of dogs seems to be based upon love in i'ts entirety and that works right for me.
