Sleep, who needs it? Apparently most people and animals do.  Humans love to sleep, you may have a few of us who just hates sleeping and will do anything to deter themselves from sleeping. But majority of us snooze off at any chance we get. Contrary to what many people think, Dogs do sleep and they like doing it too. But where do dogs sleep and how many dog owners are actually sleeping with dog in bed? Apparently a whole lot.

Even though you have a million and one dog beds online. Many fashionable and really fun built, dogs still end up sharing bed with their master.  This practice of sleeping with your dog in bed can have good and even negative impacts on yourself and your dog too.

What? How can sleeping with a dog in bed have negative reactions? Well let's see.

Dog Becomes Too Attached
Even though you as a dog owner loves your pet and want to show the dog love at every chance you get. Too much love may not be a good thing either. You want to ensure that your dog has his/her own space and can feel independent at nights or even day while sleeping. If your dog becomes attached to sleeping in bed with you, it may become difficult to make changes at a later time. Changes such as having a baby and you may not want your dog in bed with your baby.

Get Bitten by Fleas
Dogs are treated for tick and fleas, but what if for some reason you forgot to treat your dog and the dog manages to get flea then sleeps in bed with you and you end up getting bitten or worse a child ends up getting bitten. Tick bite is never a healthy situation.

Bed smells like Dog
Yes, we cuddle them, love them, play with them and everything else, but if you have high shedding dog, you may have to think more than once about sleeping in bed with that dog. Dog dander and shedding will cause you sheets to transform from Downy to doggy.

So, if you plan to continue sleeping with your dog in bed go ahead, have fun, cuddle your canine! But remember that at some point everything needs it's own space. Maybe it is time for you to start looking at dog beds and give your dog some sleeping freedom.

 Dog modeling is nothing new, it is just a bit more plush than it used to be back in the days. Today's dogs are extremely well groomed and are prepared to model by top dog talent agencies. So what does it take for your dog to be a model? Well, your dog must have some sort of training and understand basic dog commands, and of course should have that look which stands out.  But let's delve a little deeper and look at what your dog will need to become the next top dog model.

Dog Talent Agency
You may have to enroll your pooch into a Dog Talent Agency. This dog talent agency will see to it that your dog gets prepared for the runway by doing the following:

Harvest Your Dog's Talent

• They will assess your dog to see what hidden talent your dog has festered up.
  
• Will assess your dog's training and intelligent level.
  
• Will asses your dog's image to see if that image matches up with modelling requirements.
• Grooming. The Dog Talent Agency will recommend that a professional dog groomer comes in to look at your dog and do the best fit for the walkway.

But asides from the dog talent agency doing much needed work on your dog for it to become a model, you have to also do a bit of dog marketing if I may call it that. What do I mean by that?  You will have to go out there and letting people know you and your dog exist and he/she can be the next big thing. Start by doing the steps below.

1. Take Pictures of Your Pooch
The best way to get your dog recognition to become a model is to take glamor shots of your dog. These glamor shots should be high definition and enhance your dogs magnificent looks and features. Don't be restricted to inside your house or yard. That will never work. Go outdoors and find beautiful scenery to help enhance your dog's photos. Look for unusual backgrounds, get creative with the pictures. Make those pictures happy, beautiful and memorable.

2. Create Your Dog's Blog/Website
It is not about you, it is about your dog you plan to model. The best way to gain social media buzz is to create a Blog featuring you dog. Post pictures and videos of your dog so people can get to know, follow and love your pooch. You can create easy websites on Weebly without knowing anything about coding by simple clicks of your mouse.

3. Enter Calendar and Poster Contest
There are many dog contest available where you can enter your dog to see if he/she will get selected to be on calendars, magazines, cute dog of the day etc. These contest will gain you and your pup exposure as to some basic requirement of dog modeling and set the pace for bigger things to come.

4. Create Cheap T shirts With Your Dog Pics / Ornaments
If you are really into modeling your dog and promoting, After you have created your dog blog, you can also invest in creating a couple T-Shirts with that stunning pic of your dog along with your website URL  and distribute them at certain doggy events to the right people. If you think T Shirts are a bit too much, do key-rings or any other cheap ornament.

Once you have gotten your dog modeling engine running and have created the much needed ground work, you should start seeing great results. Remember, Social media creates a very big role in online marketing. Once you get that blog rolling in Weebly, sit back and watch all the likes rolling in too.
