If you are like most dog owners, you’ve seen videos of dogs energetically chasing flying Frisbees, leaping into the air to catch the spinning disc and then gleefully returning the Frisbee to her owner.
So you decide to try this game with your own dog, only to discover that she’s totally disinterested! So how do you get your dog to play Frisbee with you?
While there’s no guarantee your dog will take to the Frisbee, most dogs will respond to these steps:
1 –Introduce your dog to the Frisbee as you would any new toy. Some dogs will get excited just by seeing it, or you can wave it around and talk excitedly to your dog to get her attention.
If your dog is disinterested, try rewarding her with a treat for approaching the disc and touching it. You can also try actually putting the treat into the Frisbee or even using the disc as a food dish.
Playing tug of war with the Frisbee is a great way to get your dog to want the disc as well.
Spread this introductory period out over several days until your dog has accepted the Frisbee and shows interest in it.
2 –Now it’s time to introduce the “give” command. Here’s what to do: give your dog the Frisbee while holding a treat. Say “give” then take back the Frisbee and reward your dog. Repeat. If your dog does not let go of the Frisbee, then don’t give her a treat and let go of the disc.
You don’t in any way want to make a game of tug of war out of this. The idea is to have your dog give up the Frisbee without any hesitation on her part. When this happens you and your dog are ready for the next step.
3 –Now it’s time to move outdoors. Have your dog sit, then from a very short distance away toss the Frisbee to her. When she catches it, lavish praise on her. Then have your dog come to, give you the disc and then reward her. Treat her only when she returns with the disc.
4 –The final step is to gradually increase your distance from your dog before you throw the disc to her. When she is consistently catching the Frisbee from that distance, you can increase the distance even further.
That’s it! You and your dog have mastered the basics of playing Frisbee. Have fun!

No, snakes are wild and not domestic animals. The domestication process takes place over thousands of years. Animals such as cats, dogs and horses have been selected, through breeding, for specific characteristics that are repeated for many generations.
Dogs are believed to have been domesticated between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. As for cats, it is estimated that this happened between 3,600 and 9,500 years ago. As these animals are domesticated, with proper care and conditions, they can live with humans in captivity without suffering.
In Canada, for example, many snakes sold in the so-called "exotic animal trade" come directly from nature - mainly from West Africa. Even animals that are bred outside of nature are descendants of animals that were born in the wild. In a home, it is impossible to replicate the space and freedoms that snakes have in their natural habitat. As a result, they suffer.
In captivity, snakes are unable to naturally regulate their body temperature, diets are insufficient - because they cannot find their own food - and they are unable to explore or stretch, as they would in nature.
What's wrong with trying to domesticate snakes?
The domestication of an animal is a process that takes many generations and occurs over hundreds or thousands of years and this process involves the selective reproduction of certain genes.
The reproduction of snakes is dangerous because it reduces the genetic background, especially when breeders mate animals that are related to sell more. In addition, snakes are bred intensively and selectively to generate unusual colors and patterns, so that breeders can sell them at a higher price.
Selective breeding can also alter the animal's natural size and cause several negative impacts on its physical and mental health. This is particularly common in snakes and other reptiles, as buyers increasingly want genetically selected versions that bear little resemblance to their wild relatives.

Hamsters are excellent pets for several reasons. With a cute little flair, lots of charm and a small size, these adorable rodents fit into any family, bringing a lot of joy and fun! If you think about having a new friend at home, the first step is to learn how to raise a hamster.
1. Choose a good cage
The first step in being a master when raising hamsters is to choose a good cage. After all, this will be your new friend's home. Unlike other pets, small rodents rarely get loose around the house.
2. Place the house in a pleasant place
Another important point about raising a hamster is the location of the hamster house, or the cage. Our rodent friends can't move their homes when they feel uncomfortable for some reason, can they?
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a pleasant place inside the house, in which the pet and the rest of the family will be comfortable.
3. Prepare a comfortable space
For your rodent friend to be happy, it is essential to prepare a comfortable space for him. After choosing the hamster nursery, it's time to leave your perfect pet's new home!
4. Take care of the food
After preparing the perfect home for your rodent friend and making the move, it's time for the day-to-day worries. Among them, a frequently asked question about how to raise a hamster is in relation to food. Today, we find some options exclusive to them. The main ones are: feed, hay and alfalfa
5. Encourage exercises
If you have ever lived with a hamster you know that they are very active! Therefore, stimulating exercise is very important. The classic hamster wheel helps, but it shouldn't be the only option. Another very suitable item is the exercise ball, made of transparent plastic. Great for your friend to walk and run around the house.
6. Care about hygiene
Hamsters are very hygienic animals. Like the cats, they themselves take care of their own cleaning, with flounders and cajunés. However, this does not mean that you do not have to worry about your pet's hygiene.
