Pet dog owners would agree that the best way to train your dog is to enroll the mutt in an obedient school and submit it to a professional dog training course. A personal acquaintance who owns 2 dogs, one a German Shepherd and one a Bichon Frise, had done the same for her two lovely darlings and the results are quite good. Now, Mistah, the Shepherd, and Lilac, the Bichon Frise are more adorable than ever and they are even more pleasant smelling than the owners themselves. They managed to do that because they have the money. They can afford it. You might even afford it, too, but there is an alternative to dog training. If you want to know, you can read this dog obedience training review and here, you can find an effective way to train your down on your own. It’s a sort of DIY so you can save money and time and of course, by training them on your own, you can create stronger relationship with your hairy friend(s).

First off, you are going to be using a positive approach! NO MORE SCOLDING OR PUNISHMENTS! It is critically important that you do not scold or punish your puppy! Secondly you need to set up a schedule that you must adhere to every day and be consistent. If it is cold in the morning you can pick up some cheap dog clothes and put them on your dog, if your dog is cold.

Here is a sample schedule:

6:30 AM: Immediately upon waking, remove your puppy from his crate, leash him up, and take him to his potty area, wherever that may be. Allow him to focus by staying quiet as he sniffs and circles the area.

When he starts to eliminate his wastes, offer praise and start repetitively giving a potty command such as “Go Pee, Go Pee”. As soon as he is done, offer more praise and a treat if you like. Now take your puppy back to his crate.

7:30 AM: Exactly one hour later, give your dog breakfast and then take him outside to the potty area approximately 20 to 30 minutes later. Immediately return him back to his crate until the next potty break.

10:30 AM: It’s time for another potty break.

12:30 AM (Noon): Take your puppy outside to his potty area and follow the same routine. Afterwards, come inside and feed the dog lunch and then some playtime.

3:30 PM: It’s time for another potty break.

5:30 PM: Take your puppy outside for another potty break and then back inside for some dinner. You do not have place him back in the crate until the next bathroom break.

During this time at night, try to play with your puppy as much as you can. This is a good time to tire him out a bit for his nighttime sleep. But keep a close eye on his behavior in case he starts to sniff and circle an area in the house before using the bathroom. If you cannot keep a close eye on him, simply put him back in his crate.

9:00 PM: If your puppy is sleeping at this time, wake him up for one last bathroom break. Follow the same potty routine and then put him back in his crate until the next morning potty break. Start the entire routine all over again. Before you go be sure to view these awesome deals on dog dresses and dog pajamas, these will be great additions to your dog supplies that you currently have.

By sticking with this schedule, you are giving your puppy regularity and they will give you a puppy that is potty trained and a house free of accidents. However, you must still figure in that not every plan is perfect nor is every puppy and a few accidents may happen. Just remember the “positive approach” and keep puppy’s confidence level high!

The proper care of your beloved canine involves more time and effort than merely providing appropriate food, medication for health, and other needed supplies.

Dogs are sociable, lovable and excitable and it’s why we love them. However, these sweet traits can also be the root of major behavioral issues like chewing furniture, biting, not coming when called, barking or running away.

So, it’s important to start training your dog from a very early age. As an instinctive pack animal and follower, your dog will become subdued and more comfortable in a variety of social situations.

To learn some of the best tips on how to train your dog, keep reading for suggestions from some of the top trainers in the country.

Use Positive Reinforcement

Starting a dog training program is not as simple as it sounds. You need to begin with positive reinforcement. That means instead of yelling at or scolding your dog when he does something wrong, you reward him when he does something right. It’s a good idea to mix up treat awards with praise and petting, unless you want an overweight, but well-behaved pet.

The dog will learn that good behavior is rewarded. Just like humans, dogs respond best to praise and encouragement. Your dog will learn faster and equate good behavior with a tasty treat.

Avoid Bad Habits

One of the most common mistakes among dog owners is to yell at their pets when they’re barking incessantly. Why doesn’t this work, and why does it make the problem even worse?

It worsens the problem because your dog’s barking at something, whether it’s a squirrel in the yard or a car driving past. When you start yelling at your dog, it thinks that you’re “barking” too, therefore reinforcing the behavior that barking is okay.

Remember, your dog can’t understand your words. He can learn a few commands and understand your tone. To solve an incessant barking problem, try using a spray bottle of water.

Additional Tips to Stop the Barking

When your dog begins barking uncontrollably, say the command “quiet” softly and give him a small spray of water. Eventually, your dog will learn that “quiet” means he should stop barking or he’ll get sprayed with water.

Another method involves ignoring your dog completely when he’s barking. Sometimes dogs bark because they’re bored or want attention, so it’s best to ignore this behavior.

Once the dog stops, reward him with a treat. Because your dog may be barking out of boredom, sometimes a simple distraction, like turning on the radio or throwing a toy, will work.

Normally though, dog training is most effective when you use rewards and positive reinforcements, not scolding or yelling. Remember, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Dogs. They are our pets, our best friends, and the one set of ears that will never pretend to ignore us. Due to the fact that they are such great companions, it is clear why owners always want the best for their furry friends. After all, they do resemble a human being, thus it is reasonable to feed them the healthiest foods and purchase a plethora of unused toys. While top notch pet food is available in every store, it can be perplexing to try and find the healthiest product. With so many factors taken into consideration, the percentages and ingredients become mind boggling. So how does one pick dog food out of the thousands of brands?

The first thing a pet owner should know is that affordable brands don’t always mean that it is better. As we all know, dogs are like humans and they need their nutrition. Most dog food brands make sure that ingredients include meats, proteins, and fibers. However, there are those that focus on affordability rather than nourishment, which is why many animals begin to face problems. In order for your pet to have a healthy diet, you must find a food brand that incorporates protein, such as steak, chicken, or another type of meat. Additionally, these types of food should also have vitamins and minerals in them. Though dogs are much different than human beings – they still require nutrients that keep them healthy and feeling great. If you are hesitant on a certain brand, chances are there may be a problem. It is recommended that you either consult the company itself, or perhaps find a book on healthy dog food. These resources will easily help you eliminate the brands that are more concerned with money.

Are you still unsure of what you’re feeding your dog? Many pet owners simply run to their veterinarians, hoping that they will have a speedy answer. Fortunately, they can recommend many different brands – one which will hopefully be affordable and still beneficial for your dog. Although some people feel that professionals will just try to steer them in the “expensive” direction – perhaps food that is sold in their office, this is not necessarily true. A vast majority of veterinarians are concerned and want to make sure your dog is in top shape.

Your dogs diet will fuel his health, so choose your dogs diet wisely. You need to select a brand of food that is reputable and suited to your dog. When you find the right diet for your pet it will promote good health and allow your dog to thrive for many years to come.FInd the right diet for your pet Premium Dog Food.
