Yes, our pets deserve the best care we can give them. Often we are contented with simply loving our pets, petting them, giving them treats (often from our own plates), and simply letting them have their own way - displaying any attitude they desire. We tend to forget that our pets are only equal to the intelligence of a fourth grader, are you smarter than a fifth grader? So now we can assume that we are smarter than our pets!
It appears that most people sit around watching TV, over eating (maybe only 40% of us), and do little to nothing to take proper care of ourselves. I started this group, the Holistic Wellness and Health group, hoping that NV members might share articles, seeds, and comments concerning holistic approaches to help individuals become and maintain wellness. However, we should also keep our fur balls in mind just as well as ourselves.
From time to time I will post an article with our pets in mind. Well, this is the first. You might need to do some personal research to gain a sound knowledge of information on holistic wellness and your pet, but it will be well worth it. Educating yourself will allow you to make positive decision for yourself and you loved one, your pet(s).
At this point please read the following short article: Holistic Tips by Dr. Jane http://www.holisticpetjournal.com/?x=entry:entry110422-225520#readmore-entry110422-225520
If you want your loved one (not your spouse, or your child, your pet) to have a holisticly well and healthy life, start a holistic approach when they are young, or start today!
There are holistic approaches for training your dog (other pets as well). Thus allowing you and your dog to experience life as one would expect. Socilization is important for many reasons, but for now lets look at a holistic approach to training your dog. I don't agree completely with the information of Dr. Sarah (video) contained in the below, attached article. I believe an older dog can also be holisticly trained to socialize properly. It takes more time, and a lot of patience. Enjoy the below information:

Remember that one of the key properties of holistic wellness is often referred to as alternative natural health. When one is well ones condition of health is considered to be in optimum health, in a state of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. We should apply this concept to our fur balls as well as to ourselves.
