Socialisation is the term we use to describe how a dog learns to relate to people, other dogs and his environment. Your dog will keep on learning throughout his whole life, but puppyhood is the time when experiences—good or bad—have the biggest impact on him.

Last issue, we discussed the importance of a balanced diet and proper deworming to prevent skin problems, plus how internal factors affect the skin condition of your dog.

Four for family A dog brings a lot of happiness in our lives and when you have more than one, the joy multiplies manifolds. Although they come in various shapes, sizes and colours, one thing is common and it is the enormous love they give us back.

Love of my life I have always loved dogs and as a child, I used to dream of having a small toy breed. Since I could not find one in my town, thus all the strays in my colony came under my care. After completing my education and getting a job in a coal mine near Allahabad, my dream was fulfilled when I purchased a miniature smooth haired Dachshund pup, whom I fondly named Mini. Mini looked stunning…
