When humans experience important changes in life, their personality traits can change. We found that this also happens with dogs. Dog owners will tell you that their furry pals have personalities, and new research from the University of Michigan suggests that those personalities are likely to change over time. The study, available in the Journal of Research in Personality, found that dog's personality change very similar to that of humans. "When people experience major changes in life, their personality traits can change," said lead author William Chopik in a college publication. "We discovered that this also happens with dogs, and to a surprisingly large degree." "We anticipated the dog’s personalities to be quite stable because they do not experience wild lifestyle change humans do, but they actually change a lot," he added."We have discovered similarities with their owners, the best time for training and even a moment in their lives...

Do you know what vitamins are in your dog food? How about what vitamins are NOT in your dog food and do you need to supplement with additional vitamins and minerals. Even if the dog food says "complete" is it really? Also, if you are using a supplement is it complete and provides everything your dog needs?  Vitamins are essential to life - they regulate metabolism and assist the biochemical processes that release energy from digested food and are the foundation of body functions. Some are water soluble which means they cannot be stored in the body so therefore they must be taken into the body daily - including Vitamin C and Vitamin B-complexes. Fat soluble vitamins can be stored for longer periods of time in the body's fatty tissue and liver - include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Even though these vitamins are stored in the body, if the dog is on a restricted diet or is missing some of these essential vitamins in their feed the body will use up the storage and it must be r...

Saur died an early death, killed by a wolf, apparently in a duel. Pavlov's Dog I'm cheating a little here because Pavlov actually used several dogs, but they were vitally important to the history of psychology. Pavlov showed that he could condition a dog to salivate on ringing a bell by feeding the dog when the bell rings. What this proved was that autonomic responses like salivation could be trained, while before that, they were considered to be completely instinctive. This led to increased attempts to condition parts of human nature previously believed to be beyond alteration. One of Pavlov's dogs can be seen stuffed in the Pavlov...
