When you travel to France, either to live or a long vacation, you may decide to bring your pet/s. Before you leave the UK, a pet must first be micro chipped (that can be read by European scanners) and vaccinated against rabies. A family may bring up to five pets into France, and each animal must have its own EU Pet Passport. This document will state that a valid rabies vaccination was given by a veterinary surgeon for each pet that is traveling to France. An animal must be over three months old to enter French territory. Your local vet should be able to provide you with all necessary info and paperwork.

This article is going to try to explain to you how to get your dog to come back when he is called by you.

I have seen a lot of mean people that hit the dog when he doesn’t return or others complain to owners for letting their dog run around their children and stuff like that. So it is a very important part of the training process indeed.

I am going to try to explain the so called spring loaded recall exercise. It is very simple actually and it doesn’t require any special training environment or conditions. You simply take the dog out with a leash on him. Just to notice this exercise requires assistance. So with a friend or a family member you go out and take the dog for a walk.

Your friend holds the dog by his leash while you cuddle him, play him …

Your dearly loved pets are part of the family who warrants special attention during the whole relocation process. Just like people, pets need some adjusting of their own. They would want to familiarize themselves first in new surroundings with new people. While some pets quickly adapt to changes, others have difficulty adjusting. Some animals just do not willingly respond to changes in new places and routines. They tend to get confused by a change of pace in general.

Pet owners can do something to soothe the transition and ease traumatized pets. Prior to moving, make sure to get your pets for a vet checkup. You can ask how to deal with animal adjustments and travel to a new home. Also, get copies of all your pet vaccination and other health records for you take during the move. Ensure that your pets have identification tags with updated information such as address and phone numbers of the new home.

Once you have gauged the required immunizations based on your destination, in addition to the shots the vet specified, you can consult the vet about particular medications to help make your pets more at ease on the trip.
