Pet Ownership: How It Benefits You & Your Family

Pet Ownership: How It Benefits You & Your Family


by Garrett McMahan


It's no surprise to dog owners that there are a myriad of benefits gained from owning one or more dogs. These special furry companions are not known as man's best friend for no reason. Read on and you will discover some of the positive aspects of owning a dog.

Your kids will gain a lot from having a dog around the house. While parents might be worried that having a dog will provoke allergic reactions in babies, the opposite actually seems to be true. Studies show that infants who live in a home with a dog are much less likely to develop pet allergies. In addition, if you have a child with a seizure disorder, specially trained dogs can run and alert a parent when a child is having a seizure or simply lie next to them to keep them safe from injury. Plus, your children gain much from simply having the responsibilities associated with pet ownership, such as feeding, walking, brushing, bathing and playing with a dog.

Both children and adults with emotional difficulties or those who have suffered a loss or trauma also benefit from interaction with dogs. People who own dogs have been found to be less affected by depression as well as seasonal affective disorder. Dogs also help us combat loneliness as they not only give plenty of love, they also enjoy receiving love and attention. It also has been shown that simply petting a dog can lower your blood pressure and dog owners also tend to heal from illness or a traumatic injury faster than those without pets.

As your vet will tell you, dogs need exercise and, in turn, this activity also will benefit your overall physical condition. Simply taking your dog on a walk every day can reduce your weight and lower your risk of many diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and even some forms of cancer. People who exercise regularly also are less prone to depression. If you are feeling lonely, visit your local park or dog park. Dog owners often chat with one another and this can be a great way to widen your social circle.

We've all seen "beware of dog" signs tacked to homes, and owning a dog definitely can be a deterrent to burglars. You don't have to have a German shepherd or a trained attack dog in order to be safer. Dogs have excellent hearing and they will begin to bark before you hear or sense an intruder. The barking can even keep burglars from taking a chance at breaking into your home. Additionally, dogs also have saved many people from house fires and even go out to seek help if their owner has been injured and needs assistance. A dog also can protect your children from wild animals or other dogs, if the occasion arises.

To get the most out of your special relationship, proper training is essential. This keeps your dog safe and prevents your dog from exhibiting any unwelcome behavior, such as jumping, barking, scratching, not coming when called and many more essential skills. Using a DVD dog training system such as The Dog's Way can be an easy way to train your pet. These dog training DVDs provide 12 easy-to-follow lessons as well as helpful reminder cards and a workbook that follows up on each of the lessons. In just a few weeks you will have a healthy and obedient friend that you will enjoy for many years to come.
