Preparing For Agility Competitions
One of my favorite activities is dog agility, it keeps you fit and makes you feel good picking up those trophies at the end of each competition.
Dog agility training is somewhat harder than other training options, but I find it the most fun. Firstly if you haven’t heard of dog agility it is a sport for dogs and owners. It is extremely popular in the UK and now there are reports of it happening in the USA and down under in Australia. It comprises of a main event, of which there are lots of different courses for your dog to run. In the courses there is a set number of obstacles. 26 is the average.

Defining Parvo: What Happens if Your Dog Contracts It
Parvovirus is a serious viral disease affecting dogs. Parvovirus, which grows rapidly within dividing cells, is found more often in puppies, though it does affect adult dogs as well. Since the largest concentration of rapidly dividing cells is found in the intestinal lining, parvovirus is found in that area of the animal’s body. As a result, the dog has diarrhea, which is often bloody, and white blood cells become suppressed. In puppies that are very young, parvovirus can ultimately infect the heart muscle and cause sudden death.
