To avoid having a bad dog experience, begin with these tips:
- Learn dog training basics. You don't need to be able to train your
dog to do fancy tricks. But you do need to train your dog on the basics
such as heeling while walking, sit, stay, and leave it.
- Learn people training basics. Here's where the dog-human
relationship often goes awry. You need to be consistent with your rules,
lavish with your praise, and restrained in your negative communication.
- Learn your dog's language. Your dog will communicate with you, using
a variety of sounds, gestures, and facial expressions. Pay attention!
- Teach your dog your language. Be consistent and deliberate in your
words, gestures, facial expressions, and commands. You will have to be
very conscious about what you might say or do that could confuse the
dog, and then make an effort to avoid those things.
Some tips on cat care
- Cats need love and affection, just as dogs do. But, you need to let the cat come to you.
- Cats need their space. Let certain areas be off-limits to you except for cleaning and
maintenance. An space that provides privacy and some darkness will do.
- Cats like it when you talk to directly to them--use animated tones but keep your volume
fairly low.
- Do not "crank it up." A loud stereo causes incredible stress in cats.
- If your cat has a behavior problem, work with your
veterinarian to overcome it. Using the wrong methods will only make the cat resent you and behave
even worse.
- If you pick your cat up (such as when going for a walk and encountering a dog), support
the cat's weight under the butt. Never pick a cat up by the arm pits or the belly--think
of how you would want your weight supported if lifted up. Then make a little more
allowance for the cat. Don't ever pick a cat up by front or rear limbs.
- If the cat "chirps" at you and walks away, that is a sign that you are to
follow. Act inquisitive, and mimic the cat's sounds. This lets the cat know you are
interested in what s/he has to say.
- Cats love to "help" make the bed. However, rather than get cat dander over
freshly-laundered sheets, let the cat "help" you make the bed the morning before
you wash the sheets. At other times, shut the door and let the cat in when you are done.
- Learn how best to stroke your particular cat by practicing various light strokes around
the ears, chin, sides, back, and other places while gaging the cat's reaction.
- Don't feed your cat table scraps. To give your cat variety, you can use "people
food." But, use small amounts of such food as an occasional treat. Tuna mixed
with yogurt and chopped vegetables (broccoli works well) will give your cat a nutritious,
delicious snack.
Follow these tips, and you'll have your cat purring all the time. Be considerate and
thoughtful, respecting your cat's need for privacy and sense of control.
The result is
your cat will follow you everywhere, even the shower, just to be with you.

Why Buy
|
Why should you buy posters or prints?
Take a look at our selection. Some of these inspire and energize you, some provide information in a visually attractive way, some are calming, and others are simply beautiful.
Then, of course, there are some radical posters for those of you
who like to spice things up. Whatever your taste is, you can express it with the
right posters nicely framed and strategically placed. Why not have a different
theme for each room in your house?
For very little money, you can personalize your home or office in a meaningful way. These also make excellent gifts to friends, spouses, customers,
new customers, prospective customers, loyal customers, children, and institutions.
Why not buy a poster, and then donate it to your local library, hospital, retirement home, hospice, or other place where such beauty can make a difference? In many cases, you can even take a tax deduction for your gift.
OK, that's why you should buy posters. But, why should
you buy posters or anything else from us? We have been in
business since 1997, for one thing. We're not a fly by night outfit.
Here are a couple of pages you can view to put your mind at ease:
And remember, it's not really "about us." Our business
is about you. The customer. Without you, we wouldn't be here. And
we take that to heart.

Poster Suggestions
|
instead of buying your customers (or friends)
health-diminishing junk food gifts or something they'll just toss in a closet,
give them some great art they can put on their wall. But know what it is they
really like. Sending what you like might not go over so well.
To know what the intended gift recipient likes, just casually
touch on things in conversation. For example, you can ask this person, "What's
your favorite animal?" or maybe "Of all the animals on the planet, which one
impresses you the most?" Maybe nothing will come of that. But if the person
gushes about dogs, then you know a dog poster is a good idea. If that person
raves about border collies, then you have the exact poster subject you need to
send the perfect gift. Whales? No problem there either.
But maybe the person is a wine enthusiast and you're not. Rather
than send a bottle of wine that will probably disappoint, you can send a wine
poster that won't disappoint.
Maybe this person loves Led Zeppelin. Send a poster!
Posters can be wonderful gifts, or they can totally bomb. The
secret to getting it right is to listen to the other person's comments about his
or her interests.

About Us
|
Mindconnection sells posters via affiliate links. So, we
don't actually handle the posters. We've been in business since 1997, and have
tried several poster and art programs. We've been extremely satisfied with the
selection and customer service provided by All Posters, which is now part of Art.com.
Mindconnection employees have bought these posters personally,
and our company has bought them for various clients because they just make quite
excellent gifts. One poster in particular was an astoundingly beautiful photo
reprint of an elephant. It looked striking in its frame.
