			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a dog owner, you have probably come across all sorts of information on training and containing dogs, from welcoming a new puppy to dealing with an annoying barking dog and anything else in between. This article will give you brief information on how to welcome and treat a new puppy in your home.<br />
Housebreaking a puppy<br />
There is a firm belief among many dog owners that the best way to housebreak a puppy by &#8220;rubbing their nose in&#8221;. This method never works. As a matter of fact, it humiliates the dog and can worsen the relationship between it and the family.<br />
To housebreak a dog successfully and effectively, it is best to have a designated area for this. Visit this spot frequently and reward the puppy every time there is progress. Eventually, the dog will learn what is expected of it and will never look back.<br />
To teach the dog to understand what you say, use a certain keyword every time you bring the dog to the housebreaking area. In time, the dog will associate that keyword with what is expected of it. In case of an accident indoors, you should immediately bring the dog to the selected spot and use the keyword. However, since this may take some time, you will need to be patient and persistent.<br />
Training a dog to stop barking<br />
One of the most complicated and time consuming dog training practices is training a dog to stop barking. Many owners fail in this course because they fail to address the root cause of the barking. The most important thing in this case is to never reward a dog for barking or bribe it with food to stop barking. Doing this will only encourage and even reinforce the barking. Another thing never to do is yelling at it whenever it starts barking. The dog may understand that there is no problem with barking because the owner too is barking back.<br />
The barking problem can be handled by introducing proper socialization etiquette, giving the dog the right amount of attention at the right time and instilling a bit of obedience in its behavior. This issue has a lot of information that shows you how to deal with it, depending on the cause of the barking. However, whichever way you choose to use, patience is a virtue here because this process takes time. However long it takes, never resort to using cruel and harmful methods like dog collars.<br />
Dog digging problem<br />
Digging is an activity that many dogs enjoy, especially the Labrador Retrievers. Dogs dig for a variety of reasons including boredom, shelter, need for cooling or warmth or boredom. Although you may find this unacceptable, the dog may not see anything wrong with it.<br />
You can designate a certain area for your dog to dig if you have a big yard. To stop it completely, you should spray the dog with a hose every time it starts digging and shout a certain keyword like &#8220;NO&#8221;. Another common method is burying an inflated balloon where the dog likes to dig. Whenever it starts, the balloon will explode, startling the dog. Eventually, it will learn to stop digging. </p>

The lolling tongue increases the surface area where evaporation can take place. Most hound dogs feature hanging or pendant ears, while many terriers have semi-erect button ears in which the tips fold over and hang in a V-shape, partially covering the opening.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The kids get all excited whenever a new puppy is brought home. You just need to be sure you got the puppy for the right reasons. As the saying goes, &#8220;Dogs are for life and not just the holidays&#8221;. </p>
<p>You need to be careful of where your puppy was brought up and the temperament he was raised with. Most all of the bull dogs, Rottweiler&#8217;s, German shepherds and boxers are all guard dog type and so tend to be very protective and loving to the ones around them. </p>
<p>Most all of the collies tend to be very active and very seldom sit still and also may be a little nervous around our modern technologies, such some bridges, and loud noises. </p>
<p>While the Labradors, pointers and gun dogs are all hunting dogs so you know without doubt they are going to be full of energy and also with many laughable times. You have to realize that each and every dog has its day as well as its own personality. </p>
<p>Training a puppy can be done in a few short weeks, just depends on how much time you have to spend with him and his training. </p>
<p>You really do not need to spend whole days training your puppy, just a few minutes three or four times each day should get it done fairly quickly. </p>
<p>First thing you have to work on in training your new puppy is obedience. Teach him commands such as sit, stay, fetch, and come are mostly good enough to get him in the habit of learning. Then as he gets older incorporate commands such as roll over, play dead etc. </p>
<p>Training your puppy is a very exciting job and very simple because you have to accustomed the habits that they need to learn because they are very teachable and always ready to learn. </p>
<p>The things you are able to teach them now will be with them for years to come. Training your puppy should not be long, so all you need to do is to give your puppy a few minutes of your time just to remember what you have taught them. </p>
<p>When you let puppies go with no training then you discover the results are not good at all so someone needs to take the task at hand with a new puppy when he is first introduced to your home and clan. </p>
<p>Puppies are like babies and really need to be taught, without it they will sometimes bring you a lot of grief. It may take months to train your puppy but when the training is complete the rewards will be much worth it. </p>
<p>You should not forget to give him just a few minutes each day or your puppy may forget and then you have a bigger job to do. It is not easy to train an older dog. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Puppy training can be quite challenging if you do not know the right techniques and strategies to apply. Also &#8211; with all the puppy training advice available on the internet, how can you tell who&#8217;s worth listening to and who&#8217;s not? So the question to ask yourself here is &#8211; &#8220;Is there really a &#8220;right&#8221; way to obedience train your puppy?&#8221; </p>
<p>Fortunately &#8211; there is, even better &#8211; with the right training advice, tips and techniques, you can make puppy training fun and fast. To ensure success for you and your puppy, you need to first set realistic goals, and then you need to make sure you have the know-how for executing them effectively. </p>
<p>So here are is a list of my best puppy training advice: </p>
<p>Tip 1: Employ positive reinforcement for best results.  </p>
<p>This basically means that you train your puppy, by teaching him that every time he does something the right way (pees in his potty spot, comes when called for, sits when you&#8217;re giving him his food, etc.) he gets rewarded for it &#8211; either with a treat, with his fvourite toy, or with love and praise. </p>
<p>The way this is different from conventional puppy training techniques is that you reinforce positive behaviors, as opposed to punishing negative ones. That way you&#8217;re effectively teching your puppy that you&#8217;re there to support and love him. </p>
<p>Tip 2: Use the NO command right from the start.  </p>
<p>So if you want to curb a negative behavior &#8211; just use your most authoritative voice and say NO &#8211; but without shouting. Even though your dog does not understand the meaning of NO, the tone of your voice will serve as a warning to him &#8211; he&#8217;ll pretty soon learn that this command means he has to stop the given behavior. Note that your NO voice should always be the same. </p>
<p>Tip 3: Teach your puppy the basic dog commands such as SIT, COME, and NO.  </p>
<p>OK, let&#8217;s be clear on this. At first your puppy will not be very good at following orders &#8211; he&#8217;s too young. So for the time being, start teaching him, but don&#8217;t expect miracles. All you&#8217;re doing is setting the foundations. </p>
<p>You can start teaching him the SIT, for e.g, every time you feed him, or every time you wan to give him a treat. The NO command we&#8217;ve already touched on. And to teach him the COME, start by calling him to COME every time he&#8217;s already on his way to you. So basically you&#8217;re associating the sound and tone of a word command to an action he&#8217;s performing &#8211; that way he learns what you want from him. </p>
<p>These commands are interconnected; one command is necessary to carry out another. In order not to confuse your dog, concentrate on one command only at a time. Once your dog successfully understands it, you can move on to the next one. It does not matter which command you teach first. </p>
<p>Tip 4: Use a leash.  </p>
<p>OK, for this one you&#8217;d actually first have to teach your pup to use a leash. Some puppies take to it like ducks to water, some may create a bit of problems. But presuming your puppy would stay on the leash use it while training &#8211; it will help you tremendously in keeping him in attention. </p>
<p>If you decide to use a leash &#8211; buy a long leash so that your dog can move freely and won&#8217;t feel restricted. Whenever your dog&#8217;s attention wanders, tug the leash ever so lightly to bring his attention back to you. </p>
<p>Tip 5: Your puppy&#8217;s crate can be an indispensable training aid.  </p>
<p>Some people think putting your puppy in a crate is cruel &#8211; but that&#8217;s not right. A crate is a great training aid. Use it to help you with feeding time training, with bed time training, potty training, and when leaving your puppy unsupervised in your home. </p>
<p>Dogs love having a routine and a crate gives them exactly that and the security of having their own space. Crate training can be tricky, some dogs will just not want to stay alone, but if done correctly crate training is the silver bullet of my puppy training advice to you. </p>
<p>Tip 6: Does your puppy need obedience training school? </p>
<p>What do you do when you cannot keep your dog under control anymore? Is it necessary to send him off to obedience training lessons? The choice is all yours of course. But my advice to you is to get your puppy trained either way. </p>
<p>If you think training your dog takes too much of your personal time and you just can&#8217;t get the hang of it, then send him to a good obedience school. Find out what the best in the are is and go for it. The bottom line is that you need to instill rules in your relationship &#8211; or later on in life you will end up with behavior problems that may be harder to resolve. </p>
<p>Tip 7: Consider your dog&#8217;s breed.  </p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet go a puppy &#8211; now&#8217;s the time to learn a little about the different dog breeds and how easy they are to train. Toy breeds can be a bit more work, while hunting ones just need a more specialist approach. The latest trend is for cross breed and designer dogs, because they are more trainable, but some of the bigger dogs are also a good choice &#8211; a Labrador Retriever being one of the best examples. </p>
<p>At the end of the day, although puppy training can be frustrating at times, remember to enjoy the whole process. It&#8217;s the perfect time to bond with your dog and establish a truly loving relationship. Remember to be be consistent in your teachings, confident in your commands, loving and persistent &#8211; and things will fall into place. Once you get your puppy&#8217;s trust, you can count on him to be your loyal friend for a very very long time. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The dachshund, a hound in origin, might seem to be out of place in this group, as its background as a digger accustomed to chasing foxes and badgers underground would more logically make it a terrier. Puppy Potty Training Indoors save your flooringBoth routinely in the top five breeds, the Labrador retriever and the golden retriever together account for nearly one-quarter of the more than 1 million dogs registered with the AKC every year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Training your Akita Shepherd puppy is rewarding, but you need to understand the mind set needed to raise this breed. This breed is a cross between the Akita Inu and the German Shepherd, and thus brings traits of both of those breeds to the table.It needs to be understood from the beginning that the dog is to be the follower. This is the beginning step of training your pet.Once the dog has learned you are worthy, of its love, respect and trust, following leads and commands will become easier for it to perform. Trust and respect must be earned and cannot be forced. One way to earn this trust is through positive interaction. Once trust is accomplished, your dog will begin to learn quickly.New dog owners often mistake love and affection for the needed respect and trust. Though your dog needs love, it is of more importance to gain their trust and respect. A puppy or dog should never be allowed to continue with improper behaviors. Boundaries for behaviors must be set for your dog to follow.Your Akita Shepherd will appreciate the boundaries since it supplies the needed resemblance to the rules set forth by the leader of the pack. Members of the pack know their jobs and the rank they hold within the pack. The structure allows the pack to function in unity for survival. If this leadership is not provided from you, a frightened and confused pet may result. Good luck training your new Akita Shepherd! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two purebred dogs are sometimes deliberately crossed in hopes of creating a new breed such as the cockapoo, which is one part cocker spaniel, one part poodle. If you can&#8217;t decide between a shepherd, a setter or a poodle, get them all adopt a mutt. Puppy Training Housebreaking protect your flooring investmentThis is the list of dog Herding Breeds according to The American Kennel Club:Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, Bearded Collie, Beauceron, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, Border Collie, Bouvier des Flandres Briard, Canaan Dog, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Collie, German Shepherd Dog, Old, English Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Polish Lowland Sheepdog, Puli, Shetland Sheepdog, Swedish Vallhund. Made up of guardians of livestock and property, police dogs, sled dogs and rescue dogs, these workers come in all shapes and sizes, from the standard schnauzer to the Great Dane. Too large to go to ground, the popular Airedale terrier puts its strength and stubborn streak to use as a surprisingly ferocious watchdog. The world&#8217;s most popular breed of dog is no breed at all. Some sporting dog breeds you might consider in buying include the American Cocker Spaniel, American Water Spaniel, Brittany, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Clumber Spaniel, Curly-Coated Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, English Setter, English Springer Spaniel, Field Spaniel, Flat-Coated Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Golden Retriever, Gordon Setter, Irish Setter, Irish Water Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Pointer, Spinone Italiano, Sussex Spaniel, Vizsla, Weimaraner, Welsh Springer Spaniel, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Terrier dog breeds. But for the most part, these are large, powerful dogs. Today the slow, prodding bloodhound is usually used by law enforcement to track renegades or missing persons. When these dogs bite, they don&#8217;t let go. These fiery little dynamos would dig up underground dens and burrows while barking furiously, forcing the inhabitants out where hunters awaited. Even the famous racer, the greyhound, has proved to be a well-liked family pet. But without the right training and socialization, and in irresponsible hands, these can be dangerous dogs. THE ANATOMY OF A CANINE&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;Teeth. Wolves have remarkably thick, two-layered coats to protect them from extreme weather. Pendant Ears. Canids, including domestic dogs, have 42 teeth, although there are a few exceptions:The bat-eared fox has 48. Most hound dogs feature hanging or pendant ears, while many terriers have semi-erect button ears in which the tips fold over and hang in a V-shape, partially covering the opening. They &#8211; and a large common pad in the center &#8211; act as shock absorbers. Don&#8217;t limit yourself in only considering its breed. Among the most common varieties are the erect or pricked ears sported by many of the more wolf-like breeds, such as German shepherd and basenjis, and by semi-domestic canids, such as dingoes and New Guinea singing dogs. Other breeds such as German shepherds and golden retrievers have been trained to detect hidden drugs, explosives, and even termites. Such hot-weather species as the fennec fox, a tiny African desert dweller, sports over sized ears to maximize heat loss. WHY THE HELP?&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;You can finally show off your dog to your friends and family without being embarrassed. Now, if you have your carefully selected dog already, one question lies before you:Puppy Training Housebreaking, ok get started now.How does this dog follow my commands? What if he or she doesn&#8217;t follow what I say You&#8217;re probably training your dog improperly, and you don&#8217;t know it. You will terminate your dog&#8217;s disobedience immediately. This program works with any dog breed. </p>
