			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most popular family dogs today is the Golden Retriever. They are loyal, affectionate, intelligent, and are good around children. A family setting is perfect for this breed of dog and they thrive on being around people. They are active dogs, and with the right Golden Retriever puppy training, you give them a chance to show how well mannered and friendly they can be.</p>
<p>Puppies need training; it is an essential part of their happiness and the happiness of the household. Since Golden Retrievers are willing and intelligent, they&#8217;re capable of learning quickly. At an early age your puppy will be eager to please you, and a positive training experience will encourage him and make things easier.</p>
<p>Before you begin training, you need to know what kind of method you are going to use. You will need to be clear in the commands you use and consistent. If you are not consistent, then the obedience you are looking for is not going to come. Puppies need clear commands to give them an understanding of how to please you, because at this stage that is all they want to really do.</p>
<p>Training is needed as soon as you bring the puppy home. The younger they are, the more they are willing to learn. They will be focusing on you for the most part and taking them trough a daily routine will make them feel comfortable from the beginning. Showing them where their food and water is and feeding them at the same times each day helps set up the routine. Also having a place for them to sleep and showing them where it is necessary.</p>
<p>Part of the training will be the rules of the house. They&#8217;ll be like children, and like children they need certain rules to follow. Making it clear what is right and wrong in the home will be necessary. This can achieved with plenty of encouragement and praise to help them understand the rules and how to please you.</p>
<p>House training is something that needs to be started immediately also. The first thing to pay attention to is the signs that he needs to relieve himself. They may sniff around or circle the floor, looking for a place to go. Normally about twenty to thirty minutes after they have eaten they&#8217;re ready, so watch carefully at that time for the signals.</p>
<p>Crate training may be a method you&#8217;ll want to look into to help with house training. A crate is able to help do that and also gives them a safe place to go when they feel stressed or need time to themselves. This method requires the right sized crate for your puppy. He&#8217;ll need to be able to move around, stand up, turn, and lie down. It is recommended that a crate is not used for punishment though; it will make your puppy unhappy and will not give you the desired effects you are looking for.</p>
<p>Having a loyal, affectionate family pet can bring a lot of joy and happiness into the home. Golden Retriever puppy training is necessary to make sure that you raise a friendly, well mannered, and happy pet. With the good temperament and loving, eager nature of Golden Retrievers, they are considered the best family pet to have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you an owner of a dog? Alternatively are you fed up of its fighting behavior? If yes, then read on, if no, it&#8217;s up to your choice. Have you ever thought what things can cause these fights? They can be simply misunderstanding, food, status, as well as fear. Do you have more than one dog at home? Alternatively do they fight a lot? Alternatively are you fed up of stopping them and want to put an end to their fighting? Yes you can, their fighting can be controlled by training them not to fight. Read further to get some dog training tips, which will help you, control your dog&#8217;s fighting sense.</p>
<p>Controlling what can be controlled is the very first tip for you. The very first thing you have to understand in this tip is that you can control only your dog; you have no authority over other dogs. Other dogs approaching your dog, is something you cannot stop and have no control over. This situation can be stopped from turning into a larger issue by calming yourself. If you don&#8217;t calm yourself on such situations, your dog can seize upon your stress which it can easily recognize. Therefore, to control yourself, in such occasions, is the very first thing you should do.</p>
<p>The second tip to you is to make sure that your dog has proper socialization and dog training. Of these things has a vital role in the sense of fighting of your dog. For example, if your dog is lacking proper socialization it will result in sometimes your dog staring into other dogs longer than usual, which can cause the other dogs to react if that dog has a dominant attitude. It is necessary to have socialization of dogs at the six to eight week mark to make sure they develop properly. They are usually trained to listen and recognize their owner&#8217;s command. Also, they are trained to stay calm and relaxed whenever they pass by other dogs or animals.</p>
<p>Furthermore, what is the third tip? The third tip is to be armed with some repellent devices? As I previously said that you do not have any control over other dogs, but you can discourage them from fighting with your dog. How can you do that? You can use a water gun to squirt on the approaching dog, or you can even use a stun gun by firing it in the air creating a noise which forces the other dog to run away. There are also many other repellent devices which you can use. Hence, make sure to be always equipped with one of them.</p>
<p>More of a suggestion is the fourth tip for you which you should think about before trying it. Considering reining your dog is what this tip suggests. Roaming in the neighborhood should be discouraged of your dog for starters. Moreover, its aggressive behavior can be reduced by fixing your dog. Nonetheless, you must decide what is best for your dog before implementing this tip, and you should have a long thought over it. At last, you will be able to keep your dog away from fights as well as keep its desire to start them at the minimum by following all these tips which I have provided to you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're thinking about bringing a new canine home for your family, consider adopting one from a shelter. You'll find shelters are filled with dogs that would make ideal companions if given the chance. Some are there because they became lost and were unable to find their way home. Others are there because their previous owners were unable to continue caring for them (e.g. they moved into an apartment with a "no pet" policy). A reputable shelter will take the time to make sure a pet in their care is a good match for you and your family.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re thinking about bringing a new canine home for your family, consider adopting one from a shelter. You&#8217;ll find shelters are filled with dogs that would make ideal companions if given the chance. Some are there because they became lost and were unable to find their way home. Others are there because their previous owners were unable to continue caring for them (e.g. they moved into an apartment with a &#8220;no pet&#8221; policy). A reputable shelter will take the time to make sure a pet in their care is a good match for you and your family.</p>
<p>This article will provide five important tips for adopting a shelter dog. The following suggestions will help ensure you bring home a healthy, happy, and affectionate canine.</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Identify Your Ideal Match</p>
<p>Some breeds are more active than others. Some are perfectly content to sit on the couch all day while others need plenty of exercise. Think about your lifestyle. If you enjoy hiking, jogging, or bicycling, an active breed, such as an American Foxhound, might be more appropriate than a Basset Hound. Also, think about your living space. If you live in a small apartment, a Chihuahua may be more suitable than a German Shepherd. Adopt a pet that accommodates your life.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Get Up Close And Personal</p>
<p>The only way to know whether a given canine will make a good companion is to visit his kennel up close. Take the time to walk through the entire facility and visit as many dogs as possible. Signs of friendliness are easy to spot; you&#8217;ll notice a wagging tail, an eager approach, and an excited playfulness. In contrast, if a shelter animal remains in the back of his kennel, and refuses to approach you, that may be a sign of things to come.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, however, that some dogs remain standoffish because they are unfriendly while others are merely shy. The latter can make wonderful companions once they get to know you.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Ask Questions Of The Staff</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a good chance the shelter&#8217;s staff will have spent significant time with each animal in their care. They&#8217;ll know which dogs have quirky personalities, special medical needs, and a spotty history. Speak with the employees (or volunteers) and ask questions regarding the canines that interest you. </p>
<p>Ask about the results of a temperament evaluation (if one was conducted when the dog was admitted). Ask about behavioral tendencies that emerged while in the shelter. Ask whether the canine is friendly, reserved, withdrawn, or playful. It is in the best interests of the shelter to make sure you adopt the right pet. Hence, they&#8217;ll be happy to answer your questions.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; Get To Know The Frontrunners</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one thing to look through the front of a kennel and be immediately drawn to a canine. It is another thing entirely to interact with him. The animal shelter should provide you with the chance to spend time with the dogs you&#8217;re seriously considering adopting. Some facilities will let you take the canines for a walk. Others will encourage you to spend time playing with them to see whether you enjoy the interaction. Take advantage of the opportunity. It&#8217;s the best way to determine whether a given canine&#8217;s temperament is a good fit.</p>
<p>5 &#8211; Avoid Rushing Your Decision</p>
<p>Most shelters are willing to hold a dog for you for twenty-four hours. This is a good chance to leave the facility and consider whether a specific canine will fit your lifestyle. Moreover, you&#8217;ll be able to do so more objectively without his longing eyes staring expectantly at you. Come back the following day and make your decision. There&#8217;s no need to rush.</p>
<p>Adopting a shelter dog is a great way to find a lifelong companion. Use a methodical approach and ask plenty of questions to ensure you bring home a canine that adds to your life.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that your young pup could actually be allergic to her puppy food? Since the symptoms are very similar (and we are not trained vets), many dog owners have a hard time distinguishing the difference between an allergic reaction to food, vs. one from some other source. Keep in mind that a food allergy can present itself over a long-term time frame, like months or years, or last a short while, for a few days. And they can occur at ANY age, so it is certainly not unheard of for your pup to develop allergies to the same puppy food he's been eating for months or years. Unfortunately, the downfall of consuming the same chow can sometimes create allergens to built in you dog's system prior to ever seeing any symptoms. Research has proven that if your young pup eats the same puppy food for over two years, and develops a reaction, there's a 70 percent chance it came from her food!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that your young pup could actually be allergic to her puppy food? Since the symptoms are very similar (and we are not trained vets), many dog owners have a hard time distinguishing the difference between an allergic reaction to food, vs. one from some other source. Keep in mind that a food allergy can present itself over a long-term time frame, like months or years, or last a short while, for a few days. And they can occur at ANY age, so it is certainly not unheard of for your pup to develop allergies to the same puppy food he&#8217;s been eating for months or years. Unfortunately, the downfall of consuming the same chow can sometimes create allergens to built in you dog&#8217;s system prior to ever seeing any symptoms. Research has proven that if your young pup eats the same puppy food for over two years, and develops a reaction, there&#8217;s a 70 percent chance it came from her food!</p>
<p>As a responsible dog-owner, the first things that you should know are the symptoms manifested by your dog when he has food allergies.</p>
<p>* Development of Skin Problems The very first sign of a allergy is when you see your dog excessively scratch or lick himself. This means that his skin is itchy. You may also see him rub his face on the floor, carpets, and other inanimate objects just to relieve his discomfort. Excessive scratching, and even biting, can lead to skin being even more irritated (red patches, scaly skin). Your puppy may even suffer from hair loss.</p>
<p>* One more sign is trouble digesting food. Frequent flatulence, abnormally runny excrement, and vomiting are common symptoms that often accompany a food allergy.</p>
<p>* Breathing problems is another. Your pup may have trouble breathing (a common allergic reaction). He may begin to sneeze, cough, or wheeze more often.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s explore some things you can do to help prevent / treat these reactions.</p>
<p>* Elimination Diet &#8211; This simply means that you need to stop giving him all the food that your puppy is on now. The idea is to gradually introduce the old ingredients from his previous diet gradually or one ingredient at a time. This will allow you to know when you dog is having an allergic reaction, and narrow down which ingredient is the cause. This way, you will know the specific food item/ingredient that needs to be eliminated. Do this program for 12 weeks, under the supervision of a qualified veterinarian.</p>
<p>* Introduce puppy food with hypo-allergenic ingredients such as the following: lamb, rice, duck, potato, vegetables &#8211; natural whole foods.</p>
<p>* Hyposensitization/Desensitization Desensitization is a process that helps your dog develop resistance against common food allergens by injecting him with a minute quantity of allergen at a regular basis. Through which, he will develop antibodies that will combat allergic reactions.</p>
<p>* Antihistamine These are medications that are used to treat allergies, both in animals and humans. Ask your doctor for help regarding the proper use of antihistamines on your dogs.</p>
<p>* Blood and skin testing is also available. Veterinarians specializing in animal dermatology can perform these tests. Research shows a very high rate of accuracy with these tests in pinpointing specific allergies, thereby eliminating any doubt as to which puppy food ingredients to remove from your pup&#8217;s diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you among one of us who often gets shocked by watching friend&#8217;s dog do those awesome tricks? Or are you one of those who had tried adapting a stray puppy and tried hard to train him but had been unsuccessful? The results would have been none. Your trained dog hadn&#8217;t any good agility in him. He&#8217;d not be well behaved and he&#8217;d not be able to do any of those amazing tricks and neither you&#8217;d be able to play with a dog which you&#8217;ve tried to train by yourself. If you listen to a wise guy, never train dogs by yourself. If you&#8217;re new to dogs, your dogs could even go wild on you.</p>
<p>The dogs training school are the right place where your dog can learn at his best. There are even thousand of articles present online that helps in training your dog by yourself. There are books present on these topics but one who is professional with dogs would never suggest you to train your dog by yourself. He must take his dog to the dog training school. Yes, it is indeed the key point in keeping your dog both happy and healthy. After the training of the dog training schools, you can ensure your dog to be very obedient and well behaved with everyone, even with the other dogs.</p>
<p>The dog training schools have different training for every other breed. However, there are trainings that are common for all kind of dogs and then come the specializations. The dog&#8217;s training schools do train the dogs at the dog&#8217;s behavioral training to be obedient and well behaved. This training involves the dog in activities that makes the dog a family pet and a great companion. The dog training school teaches your dog how to respond to your commands and how to complete a given task. The dog training school always ensures that your dog is treated by only positive reinforcements and no negative punishments and reinforcements, which results in a dog&#8217;s harsh behavior.</p>
<p>The trainers at the dog training schools always keep a positive way to deal with your dog. In this way, the dog picks up the lessons quite easily and quickly. Being harsh to your dog and hitting your dog is considered to be an animal abuse. The instructors usually give your dog a treat as he does a great job and as he does something bad, they do not give him a treat and gives them no attention. So, the dog learns by himself that he did something wrong.</p>
<p>There are not only the behavioral and command trainings, but the dog training school does also give your dog the training to enhance and produce more agility. Your dog will not only be well mannered but also very vigorous. The dog training schools teaches your dog to protect and guard you till his death. Yes, indeed, the dog is the most loyal friend, if it is well trained. But you should also understand that it can be seriously harming and injuring, if it is not properly and completely trained. So, be careful and train your dog with dog training schools.</p>

<p>There are basic supplies you can keep on hand that can make a big difference when your dog has an emergency. If something bad happens, your dog may need you to provide emergency care until you can get him to the vet.</p>
<p>Definitely include gauze and tape in the medical kit. These are excellent for slowing or stopping bleeding. If you shop around you can often find blood-clotting topical products too.</p>
<p>Hydrogen peroxide is a good option for cleaning your dog&#8217;s wounds. If your dog starts going into shock you need to keep him warm, so an old blanket is very useful. You also want to stock an antihistamine for bee or wasp sting emergency, antibiotic gel, and eye wash. Other basic supplies to keep around are cotton, safety scissors, tweezers, rectal thermometer, needle-less syringes for oral medication, and elastic bandages.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to learn basic first aid. That is true even if you don&#8217;t have a dog at home. Also, make sure that your vet&#8217;s phone number is handy. You don&#8217;t want to fumble with a phone book during an emergency. Ask your vet what to do in case a medical emergency comes up in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>Often a vet will have instructions on how to reach him after hours. Also, some cities have pet emergency centers. If yours has one, it&#8217;s good to keep their number in your kit as well.</p>
<p>Your dog may snap or bite at you if he is hurt or scared, even if he normally would never dream of biting you under normal circumstances. Consider keeping a muzzle in your emergency kit.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give your dog Tylenol. It&#8217;s not safe. Instead, ask your vet what painkiller to keep on hand in case your dog needs pain management, and put this medicine into your kit.</p>
<p>The writer also often publishes articles about products including <a href="http://granitesink.org">granite sink</a> and <a href="http://granitesink.org/double-kitchen-sinks/">double kitchen sinks</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you lacked the ability to communicate with words, how would you express yourself to others? This is the challenge confronting your pooch. He can only bark, howl, growl, or whine in order to tell you what he&#8217;s feeling. This can confuse and frustrate owners who are unable to infer meaning from their dog&#8217;s sounds.</p>
<p>Each expression has a different purpose. For example, if he barks, he&#8217;s doing so to make a statement about something; if he howls, he&#8217;s communicating with others far away; if he growls, that means he is issuing a warning. A whine is basically a request for attention or care, but that request may have different triggers. </p>
<p>If you can determine the reason your canine is whining, you&#8217;ll be better able to identify whether he truly needs your attention. With this in mind, we&#8217;ll describe the most common reasons dogs make this sound.</p>
<p>Learning The Habit Early In Life</p>
<p>The behavior forms early. When your pooch was a puppy, he learned to whine in order to get his mother&#8217;s attention. His mother likely found the sound to be impossible to ignore. Her quick response reinforced the behavior. Thus, at an early age, your dog learned that whining resulted in his receiving his mother&#8217;s attention.</p>
<p>When puppies are first adopted, they continue the behavior until it becomes clear that doing so fails to produce the same result. If their owner responds in a manner that is similar to their mother&#8217;s response, the habit is further reinforced. If the owner responds only to check whether the pup is okay, but leaves soon after, the habit wanes. Adult canines that persistently whine do so because they have learned the behavior is still effective.</p>
<p>Separation Anxiety</p>
<p>Many dogs whine when they are left alone. They become anxious when nobody is present, especially their owner. In severe cases, a canine might start whining when his owner leaves him with other people. It is his way of expressing his desire to be near his owner.</p>
<p>Excitement Or Anticipation</p>
<p>A lot of canines begin whining because they are excited about something. Triggers can include anything that grabs your pooch&#8217;s attention and creates an expectation. For example, he might hear you arrive home from work and stand by the front door to greet you. If he hears you talking on the other side of the door, he may start to whine in anticipation.</p>
<p>Owner&#8217;s Attention</p>
<p>Some dogs whine simply because they crave their owner&#8217;s attention. For example, they might yearn for their owner&#8217;s direct eye contact. Or, they may want their owners to pet or praise them. Any response that implies their owner&#8217;s interest &#8211; even yelling &#8211; can seem desirable to them.</p>
<p>Discomfort Or Pain</p>
<p>If your pooch is suffering from discomfort or pain, he will likely express himself through whining. With this trigger, the behavior is often instinctive; he may not even realize he is doing it. For example, it&#8217;s not uncommon for canines to whine while recovering after a surgical procedure. The sound is not meant to draw attention from their owner. Instead, it is an automatic response to the pain.</p>
<p>In most cases (with the exception of pain as a trigger), whining is similar to nearly any undesirable behavior: it can be modified with training and repetition. That said, curbing the behavior in your dog may require patience, especially if he has spent his entire life accustomed to people responding to his whining. </p>
<p>Give him plenty of exercise and make sure his diet is healthy. Incorporate dog treats and a clicker to reinforce desired behavior. A single click and his favorite treat after he stops whining will gradually teach him the value of resisting the urge. Over time, he&#8217;ll learn that his whining does not produce the results he wants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No one likes a dog that jumps up on you or sticks his nose where he shouldn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s pleasant to be around a pet that has gone through dog training. And when your pet misbehaves you need to let him know that it is not okay, don&#8217;t wait to tell him or he won&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about.</p>
<p>Physical punishment is not the way to go, don&#8217;t scare your pet. You need to get his attention and you can do this by saying &#8220;No&#8221; and making a noise with something loud. Just make a noise without the dog knowing it was you who made it. He will then not associate you with the corrective action. If he knows you are associated he will wait until you are gone to behave badly. After you stop the action make him sit and praise him for sitting.</p>
<p>Biting is a bad thing for your puppy to learn and they like to bite when they are young. If he bites your hand after he is over 3 to 4 months then corrective action is needed. After he bites you let out a little scream and walk away. This teaches him that when he bites a person they will not give him any attention. Give your dog chew toys to help with biting issues.</p>
<p>Barking is just annoying to you and your neighbors. If your pet is barking outside bring him in. For <a target='_blank' href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/">puppy training</a>, it&#8217;s a natural thing for a dog to bark so let him know that it&#8217;s fine until you ask him to stop. Tell him &#8220;Be Quiet&#8221; while showing him a treat so that he can smell it. While he stops the barking praise him and then after a couple of seconds give him the treat. Next time he does this behavior repeat the process. But wait a little longer to give him the treat. Do this until he learns to stop barking. After awhile he will stop barking on command without the treats. Always praise him for listening to you.</p>
<p>Stairs might be a scary place for your pet. Leash the dog and keep a firm grip on it. Stand with the dog at the bottom of the stairs, look straight ahead and walk up the stairs. If he hesitates start over. It may take some time to get him to take the first step. For smaller dogs place the dog on the first step and walk away a few feet. Encourage him to jump down. If he hesitates persuade him with a treat. With success you can place the dog on the second step and eventually to the top of the stairs.</p>
<p>A few simple commands are necessary to communicate with your dog, command training should be done 20 minutes a day for 2 to 3 months. Decide what you would like your pet to do and make up auditory or visual signs to initiate the action. Include his name in the command and say it only once. Make him perform the action after the command is given and use treats for good behavior.</p>
<p>Teach your dog to sit with a leash on the collar and say the command firmly. Pull up on the leash while pushing on his back until he sits. Walk a few steps forward to allow you to easily push down his rear. Praise him but don&#8217;t let him get up. This allows the dog to associate the action with the command. After a few seconds tell him it&#8217;s okay to get up by petting his chin. Continue until he obeys.</p>
<p>After he gets sit you can teach him to stay. Have him sit and then say &#8220;Stay&#8221; while standing in front of him with the leash over his head. Look away and if your dog gets up pull the leash up until he sits. Don&#8217;t allow him to lie down, hold the leash taut. As he sits pet him under his chin which signals it&#8217;s okay to move. After he gets it you can move away a couple of feet. Use distractions, he should still remain seated.</p>
<p>Dogs can become loyal, obedient, and affectionate towards their owners through vigorous <a href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/">puppy training</a>. Enroll your canine companion in this experienced <a href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/trainers-okanaganvalley.html">dog training Kelowna</a> program, which served 400,000+ satisfied clients worldwide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dog training can be a very rewarding experience for both you and your pet when done in a positive manner and with the right attitude. Your dog just wants to please you and when you are both happy everyone has fun, so make it a fun experience. But when your pet starts bad behaviors you have to nip them in the bud. Like chewing for example.</p>
<p>Chewing is a natural behavior for a dog except when it occurs on your new Kenneth Cole boots. Chewing keeps their teeth and gums healthy and you will find a variety of toys and bones in the pet store. Dogs like to exercise their jaws so it is smart to get them a chew toy right away, like with the dog when you bring him home.</p>
<p>When a dog has his own toys to chew on he will be less tempted to chew on your favorite pair of Manolos. If you catch your puppy chewing on something he isn&#8217;t supposed to tell him &#8220;No Chew&#8221; very monotone and sternly. Make him sit down and praise him for listening to your command to sit. Then give him a toy he can chew on to show him an example of what is okay.</p>
<p>Constantly praise him and reward him for good actions such as when they urinate in the correct area or when they play with and chew their toys. The reward system encourages good and consistent <a target='_blank' href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/">puppy training</a>.</p>
<p>Keeping your pet off of the furniture is a big part of training him in the house. When he is on the furniture and he is not supposed to be tell him &#8220;Off&#8221; very sternly. Nudge him off of the furniture quickly by pushing his midsection with your knee or hand. Then make him sit. Praise him for obeying the sit command.</p>
<p>Crate training is a great way to train your puppy. It can be used to potty train your dog pretty quickly. Introduce the crate to your puppy slowly and put it in a place where he will get a lot of attention.</p>
<p>Put a towel or a blanket inside of the crate and play with the dog there. Encourage the dog to go inside by putting treats in there for him and leave his favorite toy just outside of the opening. Them move it to just inside of the crate and put treats inside. Don&#8217;t force him to go in, let him get used to it and leave the door open during this time. It can take some time for him to get used to it.</p>
<p>The next step is to feed you dog near the crate, then after a few tries put the food inside. When you think he is comfortable close the door when he begins to eat inside of it and open the door when he is finished eating. Each time leave the door closed a little longer. If your dog cries leave him in there for about 10 minutes and don&#8217;t react to his crying. Let the dog see you when he is inside.</p>
<p>Dogs can become loyal, obedient, and affectionate towards their owners through vigorous <a href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/">puppy training</a>. Enroll your canine companion in this experienced <a href="http://www.barkbusters.ca/trainers-okanaganvalley.html">dog training Kelowna</a> program, which served 400,000+ satisfied clients worldwide.</p>
