Dog training isn't difficult, but it does require consistency and the right methods. If you issue a command, do so with authority. Some commands are taught together to be effective. Once you know the secrets to basic dog training, advanced training will come much easier.

Here are solutions to some of the common problems new puppy owners face.

Before any dog training can begin, you'll need a training collar and leash for your puppy.

1. Puppy runs out the door and won't come back.

Until your puppy receives his dog training, the only solution is to ensure he can't get out the door or gate. The sooner you teach him the proper commands, however, the sooner you can stop worrying about him escaping.

There actually are two commands that work together in this situation: sit or down, and stay. You'll start by teaching your puppy to sit. Once he's learned this, which shouldn't take long, you can teach him to stay. So he doesn't get confused, it's best if you save the stay lesson until tomorrow.

Teach to sit:

Kneel or squat down beside your puppy. Keep the leash at a length of about two feet between the puppy's collar and you hand. Gently but firmly grasp the spot on his back just in front of your puppy's hips. Press down firmly to force his back end down while holding his head end up with the leash. While doing this, tell your puppy to Sit, making sure you emphasize the 't'.

Teach to stay:

There are two parts to the stay command. You'll tell him to stay and block him with your hand. With leash in hand, stand beside your puppy so that you're both facing in the same direction. Tell him to sit. He should have learned to obey this command in the "Teach to sit" instruction. Then, order him to stay while holding your flat hand about four inches in front of his face.

Be persistent with your dog training, but don't work with him for more than 10-15 minutes at a time or he and you will become frustrated.

Don't forget the consistent praises for a job well done.

Once he's learned the sit-stay command, you'll find lots of opportunities to use it, like when he jumps on people.

2. Puppy is destructive when he's left in a closed room.

Being social animals, puppies hate being separated from the pack. The separation anxiety, fear and distress caused by being isolated causes him to chew anything in site. There are several, solutions. First, never use a barrier that he can't see through, such as a door or piece of wood. Use a special dog gate or other such item that enables him to see the other "pack" members.

Putting a radio in the room can help, too. And don't forget the toys.

3. Puppy eats shoes, socks and other clothing.

One mistake many owners make is to give their puppies old socks or shoes to gnaw. While this is great fun for the puppy, it sets you up for problems later on. What you're essentially doing is dog training. He doesn't know the difference between your clothes and the ones you give him. Never give your puppy socks or shoes. Provide him with proper puppy chew toys and special jaw exercisers.

4. Puppy won't leave visitors alone.

Puppies love everybody and are anxious to show it. To break your puppy of this habit, teach him the sit-stay command. Of course, you can't do that when company's around. The sooner he goes through dog training, the easier it is to resolve these situations. After he's trained, issue the sit-stay command whenever he jumps on people. In the meantime, simply put him in a confined area with a see-through gate until your guests leave.

Dog training is very important for a number of reasons. It saves you a lot of problems when certain situations arise. It gives you control over your puppy. In addition, it can save his life. Some owners are content just to teach their puppies the basics: sit, stay, come, fetch, and wait.

Once your puppy learns the basics, you can move on to more advanced dog training.

There are many different types of dog collars available in the market to suit different function, needs and all kinds of dog activities. Sometimes, it is so hard to pick the right training collar as more breed of dogs are now domesticated and it is very important to consider these important features before buying a remote electronic dog training collar.

Multiple Stimulation Levels

Remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level to your dogÂ’s temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of your dog. Larger dogs need a high stimulation to follow and obey your commands while a small collar, your dog may not respond from the radio frequency if the stimulation is too weak. Most electronic training collar now clearly indicates what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are 2 forms of stimulation available on the market today. First is the continuous stimulation, this method of correction delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog as long as the button is pressed from the hand-held remote transmitter. The second form is the momentary stimulation or sometimes called “nick”. The dog will only receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. Auto shutoff features are also available on some remote transmitter.

Range

Generally speaking, the more range the better. Effective range of an electronic collar can vary according to terrain, environmental and line of sight conditions. If you are training your dog in the field, it is recommended to have a long range training collar so the transmitter can still produce a reliable strong signal when if its needed. However, if you are only doing basic yard work obedience training, the 150 to 300 yard range is more than enough.

Handheld Transmitter Design

The transmitter should be small enough to carry in your pocket. Manufacturers make transmitters that small and lightweight. However, dog trainers have their own personal preferences but the main feature to be considered is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

Integrated Collar Design

Remote electronic dog collar should have intelligent engineering with internal antenna to avoid being caught up from the dogÂ’s body. And of course, waterproof collars are highly recommended if you intend to train your dog in our around the water.

Manufacturer & Retailers

Manufucturers that proven to be in the business with excellent product support. I recommend 2 of finest manufacturers (Innotek and Pet Safe). While Pet Street Mall, the fastest growing internet site with a variety of available pet products has been online since 2001 got my recommendation. Other notables are Innotek Direct, Mutt Mart, KCKaylas Pet Supplies and America Outdoor.

Do you often get home after a hard days work to find your beautiful cushions ripped to shreds, corners of your new carpet torn up and bite marks in that expensive table you saved for years to be able to afford?I'm going to let my Shih Tzu dog, Ozzy, help you find a solution to stop dogs chewing. He'll explain why dogs chew and tell you what dogs enjoy chewing and how to stop your dog chewing furniture!

WHY DO DOGS CHEW?

Hello, my name is Ozzy and I've just had my first birthday. I used to chew my mum's carpet and there's still a big hole in the corner of our dining room, oops! We chew because when we're puppies aged between 14-28 weeks old, we're teething and by chewing things, it helps to soothe our gums and loosen them around our teeth. This allows our 'baby teeth' to fall out so that our 'big teeth' came come through. It also strengthens our teeth and gums.

Once we're around six months old, and possibly for the next 18 months, we want to explore! Babies use their hands to explore, dogs and puppies use their mouths! We want to know what everything tastes like. Dogs have been doing this since the beginning of time, it's in our nature to chew! Destructive chewing can be a problem though so you need to figure out how to stop it fast!

Here's the clever bit: When we chew, it causes a chemical release of endorphins which calms us down. Chewing helps relieve stress and anxiety. It makes us feel better, it doesn't necessarily mean that we're stressed or anxious if we chew.

SO WHAT CAN I DO TO STOP DOGS CHEWING?

When it comes to chewing, it makes no difference to us if it's an expensive sofa or a stick that we've picked up from the garden. We have no sense of value, we're dogs for goodness sake! We need you to teach us what's ours and what's yours. We need you to give us things that we're allowed to chew. If we've nothing to chew that's ours, we'll just go for the first thing we can lay our teeth on (your sofa, table leg etc). To stop your dog chewing furniture, let us know what we can chew! If you give us an old shoe to chew, we're going to think that we have permission to chew all shoes!

The best thing that you can do is give us 3 or 4 toys (all different shapes and textures) to play with. Kongs are great, every dog should have one! They're rubber toys that you can fill with treats (marmite, cheese, biscuits, meat etc) and they give us hours of fun trying to chew all the tasty treats! Make sure you get one suitable for puppies first though. Nicer than a leather sofa any day! Other great things to chew are rawhide bones and rope tugs.

To stop your dog chewing furniture, spray a deterrent on it, like bitter apple spray, yuck!! If something has that on it, you can guarantee that us dogs will be stopping chewing that!

REWARD US FOR BEING GOOD!

If you see us chewing one of our toys, and not your dining room chair, then praise us. It helps us to learn! Don't do it too much though, if we're having a good chewing session we don't really want to be interrupted. If you do catch us chewing something that we shouldn't, a firm 'NO' will do the trick. Make sure that you then give us something that we can chew which will help to stop your dog chewing furniture!

It's important to praise us when we're being good and correct us when we're being bad.

So there's a few tips on how you can stop dogs chewing!

I hope that you have found this article useful. There is alot you can learn about dog training and why they do the things that they do.

Sometimes we feel we are all alone in this world. Our love lives just don't work out, our friends always go away in the end, and our family members eventually get lives of their own. And we are left absolutely alone with nobody to comfort us. And what do we do? Do we mope around alone in the dark? Do we go around picking up members of the opposite sex in bars? Of course not! We just get the cutest thing in the whole world that we are sure will love us unconditionally: a dog!

And not just any dog will do. A small dog is not only cute but it is also generally easier to take of than their larger cousins because they don't require as much space and exercise. And you also have the advantage of most of them being really, really good with kids. A cutie with a soft heart, undying devotion and who is good with kids? What more can you ask for?

Here are a few suggestions on the best small dog breeds to get when you absolutely need it:

- Mini Dachshund: These are some of the most curiously shaped dogs in the world. They were bred this way because their initial purpose was to hunt moles in the ground, a job which they did to perfection with their 'hotdog' appearance. They are loving, energetic and great companions. Just beware how you pick one up!

- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: As its name suggests, this is one of the most dignified breeds of dog in the world. And it is also one of the best with kids, because of its cuteness and its patience. You should however be sure to give it enough exercise and grooming every week.

- Beagle: The undying Snoopy was a beagle and if that isn't motivation enough for you to get this wonder of a dog breed, then something must be wrong with you. The beagle is one of the most playful, active, and friendly dogs you could ever hope to meet. Exercising them constantly though is a must.

These are only a few of the amazing small dogs that you can treat yourself to when you feel lonely. If you want more ideas, and you want to find exactly the right one for you, just visit: http://crunkish.com/top-ten-kid-friendly-pets/

Potty training your new puppy can be a challenging time for you, but there are a few tips for potty training a puppy that you can follow to ensure that this important transition occurs smoothly and with a minimum of accidents.

Potty training a puppy should only take a few weeks, as long as you are consistent and committed to the task at hand. It's important to be prepared to train your new puppy from the moment you take possession of him, as re-training an older dog can be difficult.

Your puppy needs to learn where his designated toilet area is. The area can be as specific as a particular corner of your garden, or more generally, outside of the house. Take your dog outside on a leash and let him find the designated area. Stand quietly so that you don't distract him and, when he begins to relieve himself, praise him using a chosen phrase, such as "good toilet". If your pup has not relieved himself after about five minutes, take him back inside and try again later.

Establishing a schedule is important. Regulate your puppy's waking-up time and bed time to help his body establish a routine. You can expect your pup to be able to control his bladder for up to eight hours at night time. Young pups will require naps during the day, so you need to ensure that your schedule is accommodating of those.

Once your pup has woken up, take him outside, preferably on a leash, to let him relieve himself. An important tip for potty training a puppy is to remember that if he has had a bad fright, or a particularly rough and tumble play session, he may need to relieve himself.

During the day, keeping an eye on where your puppy is in your house. This knowledge can help you prevent accidents. If you catch your puppy relieving himself inside, loudly and firmly say "No!", or clap your hands in front of his face. Picking him up may also make him stop. It's then important to get him outside to finish the job in his designated area. If you find a mess inside, put your puppy on his leash, calmly walk him to the spot and say firmly "No!" Pick up some of the mess and take it and your dog to the designated area outside. Place the mess on the ground, let your dog see it and then offer praise.

Another tip for potty training your puppy – do not rub your new pup's nose in the mess he has made, or physically punish him. This won't teach your puppy not to urinate inside – it will simply teach him not to do it in front of you. Keeping your puppy entertained is another good tip for potty training. While you are inside and busy with television or chores, give your pup some toys to play with.

Like potty training a toddler, you can be certain that there will be a few accidents here and there. Reward your pup for a job well done and he will learn which behavior pleases you. I hope you have enjoyed these tips for potty training a puppy.

Dog Training is all about getting your canine to behave well, but some people do it for sports and other entertainment purposes. Some of the other reasons people train their dogs are:

• It rewarding since you get a sense of accomplishment once a dog can do something new.
• It is a good opportunity to bond with the dog - this is important for the dog and for the owner.
• You can make money when you train dogs as a business or for sport.
• Training the dog is fun and it challenges the owner and the dog.

Different trainers have different techniques for training their canine. However, some techniques are more effective than others. To learn about the best techniques, visit a registered dog trainer, talk to a veterinarian, or do online or offline research.

There are several types of training that you, or a professional, can explore to train dogs and these are:

1) Behavior and obedience training: One training that is universal is behavior and obedience training. This is done on dogs of all ages, but it is better to start when the canine is a puppy because as they say, it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Behavior and obedience dog trainingbrings out the best in the dog and it makes understanding each other easier.

2) House training: House training is very important and it should also start when the dog is still a puppy. House training is all about training the dog to have house manners and to respect your space. There are several techniques used for this and they include crate training and pad training for training the dog to 'go' outside.

3) Positive reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is a new type of training approach and it is all about rewarding the dog for good behavior or for learning a new trick. All animals tend to perform better when there is a promise of a reward. Possible rewards are snacks, interaction with other dogs, giving the dog your attention, or giving the dog tug toys - the reward should take into consideration what the dog likes because dogs are different.

4) Negative reinforcement: Negative reinforcement training approach has been used for many years where the dog is punished for failure to learn or to behave properly, but this does not work because it only makes the canine scared and causes it to lose confidence. Negative reinforcement techniques included beatings and electric shocks.

5) Trick training: Trick training is done for fun, by those who want a sports dog, and those involved in other entertainment activities such as the circus. You should choose the dog carefully to avoid frustration because some dogs are easier to train than others.

6) Teething: It is important to train dogs when they are teething because they are under a lot of pain and they usually chew on furniture such as table legs, shoes, and even wallpaper. Possible training techniques for discouraging the chewing are bad-smelling sprays on items that are at risk and giving the dog chew toys.

7) Command training: It is possible to train dogs to follow commands. These commands include 'sit', 'attack', and 'fetch', among others. This requires patience and there are various techniques of dog training that can be used to achieve this such as giving rewards.

Would you believe that you can now use your dogs fat as a treatment for arthritis? Sounds crazy but it is true. New technology in veterinary medicine exists that is bringing stem cell therapy using fat to dogs as a way to treat arthritis.

Stem cells are primitive, undifferentiated cells within the body. They have the ability to change into any type of tissue within the body such as bone, tendon, cartilage, muscle, nerve, etc. When we talk about stem cells, we group them into two types, embryonic and adult. Embryonic stem cells are the controversial ones since they come from fetal tissue and they have the ability to create an entire person or animal. Adult stem cells are cells that are found in almost every type of tissue in the body and have the capability to differentiate into any type of tissue but not an entire person or animal.

Although embryonic stem cells are extremely powerful, they do have some disadvantages associated with trying to use them. One is trying to get them since they come from fetal tissue and their use is highly controversial. The second problem with using them is that because they are from another person or animal, they are considered foreign material and the body may reject them. Adult stem cells, although not as powerful, have the advantages that they are easy to obtain, and because they come from the same person that is receiving them, there is no chance of rejection by the body.

In dogs, we are using technology to obtain adult stem cells from fat tissue and then use these cells as a treatment for osteoarthritis. In studies, with a single injection, some dogs are showing dramatic improvement in lameness for several months to over a year.

The stem cells being used for this are obtained from fat within the body. Fat, or adipose as it is medically termed, is a great source of adult stem cells, having a 500 greater yield of stem cells than bone marrow for the same amount. The nice part about this is that by using fat, the stem cells do not need to be cultured which usually takes a week or longer. This means that once the fat is harvested, the turnaround time to being able to treat the patient with the adult cells is as quick as 48 hours.

Stem cells work in a number of ways to help with osteoarthritis and other conditions. The main way is that they release substances called trophic factors which stimulate the other cells around the area to do things. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and can differentiate into any cell to stimulate repair of damaged tissues.

The process that is involved with using these cells to treat arthritis in dogs is relatively simple. The first step is harvesting the fat. This procedure does require the dog to be anesthetized and is a sterile surgical procedure so that the fat does not become infected. Fat is obtained from one of three locations in the body where there is always an abundance of fat, the inguinal region, the thoracic region, or the falciform fat which is in the abdomen. Only 15 grams of fat are necessary which is about the size of a large test tube.

Once the fat is harvested, it is sent overnight to a company that processes the fat and extracts the stem cells from it. The company can do this within 12 hours and ships it back overnight so it is back at your doctors hospital within 48 hours from the time it was harvested. The cells are packed in a sterile syringe, ready to be injected into the affected, arthritic joints.

Injecting of the cells can usually be done with just sedation. Although the cells can be injected into the bloodstream and will have an effect at the arthritic joints, it has been found to be more effective if it is injected directly into the affected joints. With a good sample of fat submitted for processing, up to 4 joints can easily be injected with the quantity of cells that are returned.

Results from the stem cells being injected usually take about a month to fully manifest and can last for several months to over a year in some patients. Complications from the procedure are minimal with irritation and swelling at the injection sites and fluid pocket formation where the fat was harvested as the most common problems seen.

1. Be persistent. Remember to keep dog training your dog from reverting to old ways, you must be practicing with him a lot. If he gets distracted use a clicker, shock collar, or a nudge to direct his attention toward you. The more persistent you are with the puppy training he will learn fast and faster, as soon as the dog training technique is memorized by the dog you can slow down the training. He will remember the trick after a long enough period of performing it Don't forget this training tip it was what over 45% forget, and then wonder why their dog training isn't working.

2. Do not use discipline unless it is during the act! Unless you catch your puppy during the act, do not discipline him, else he won't be able to connect his discipline with the act, therefore it is useful and you're simply scaring your dog. You don't want to have a fearful and unhappy dog because he thinks you're gonna hit him for something every time he sees you. IF he is caught during the act then you can say 'bad, no' and either smack him or spray him, buzz him with the shock collar, only at exact time, or else the dog training tip and training is slowed down.

3. Learn about more good techniques online. There many good ebooks that specifically tell you how to control dog's behavior as well as important information about dog breed. Secrets To Dog Training is my favorite ebook that is great for any style of dog owner.

4. Praise your dog. This next technique is easy enough to do, so maybe you should do it more? Just simply praise your dog with either a good pat, or a doggy treat when he performs well and when does something good, however you need to do this at the exact time he does something good to reinforce the behavior.

5. Give the dog a break if it gets tired or distracted for too long. Sometimes you can be over training your dog, and we wouldn't want that, if he starts to lose attention just let him and come back for another training session later. Maybe you need to take your puppy for a walk first so he will be more calm.

Training your dog is a time-intensive project that requires patience and solid strategy. Most inexperienced dog owners ultimately fail at training their pet because they either lack the knowledge of what to, or they become frustrated when their dog does not respond. This failure leads many to turn to the plethora of dog training books available on the internet. There are a number of excellent resources available, but what exactly makes up a good dog training book? Here are some important things to research before buying any training product.

Navigation In order to successfully implement a training program with your dog, you need to understand the concepts behind it. A well-written dog training book starts with the basics and slowly guides you through the more advanced techniques. There should be clear step-by-step instructions for each task, and the chapters should be organized by skill level. Too many inferior books lump broad categories together, which can confuse amateurs on where to begin. Ideally, it should be easy to continually reference topics in the book since it is unlikely you will memorize everything after one read.

Beyond Puppies Some books can lose their value after the first year of a dog's life. They guide you through potty training and other behavior issues prevalent in puppies, but they don't offer enough information on dealing with older dogs. This can be a big void, especially since it is much harder to break the habits of an older dog. Thus, it is important to choose a book that spans the life of your pet. A well-trained dog may never demonstrate obedience issues, but there are other bad habits such as aggression that may need to be dealt with later in life.

Illustration As humans, we learn more efficiently through reinforcement, and this is why the best dog training books feature a number of pictures and illustrations. Training your dog is a rather precise science, and there is simply too much room for misinterpretation without giving a visual reference. Some of the more premier dog training guides offer video instruction in addition to their books. This can be useful bonus that provides another way to learn the material.

Support No matter how confident you are in your abilities, you will probably reach a point where you have a question. Finding a training resource that offers email support or a learning forum is a great way to ensure you can find an answer. This is one of the benefits with the dog training ebooks available online, as a handful of them provide email support with the cost of their product. Having access to a support network makes it less likely that you will give up when you reach a difficult point during the training process.

Training your dog can be a fun experience that builds a strong bond between you and your pet, but it can also become a nightmare if things aren't going well. A good dog training book will teach you what methods to use and how to implement them over the course of your dog's development. But for every good book available, there are a hundred others have limited value. The best way to protect yourself against the inferior products is to do your research and look for product reviews. Choosing the right book from the start will ensure success with your training regimen.

Distractions are a problem for most people. Dog owners work with their dogs endlessly on their obedience but a few key factors are either skipped completely or they are not given the right amount of attention and this creates a dog that is easily distracted.

Let's dive right in...

Mistake #1: Your training lacks motivation. Your dog is simply not motivated by you. They find the distractions around them more interesting and in this case why will not listen.

Several things can cause this.However, it is almost always a case of the dog owner not understanding how to get their dogs motivation. This is your first task when training your dog. Find out what motivates them, what gets them really pumped up and interested in you.

When you have that, you can start to train your dog. Distractions will become pointless to the dog because you, in a sense, are their biggest distraction. They are highly focused on you and what you have.

Mistake #2: Pushing the dog. Okay so you have been training for a few days and your dog is sitting nicely in your house. You take them to the groomer and ask for the sit, you dog does not do anything. They just stand there. You ask again, no response. You ask again, no response, then you get frustrated.

Dogs are situational. They do not understand that when you ask for a sit in the house and when you ask for a sit at the groomer that they should sit. You have to train them do this. This applies to all locations.

You have taken the dog from the distraction free zone of your house into a zone that has dozens of distractions. Expecting them to just get it and understand it, is unfair and counter-productive.

When you take your dog to new locations, begin the training as if they have no idea what "sit" means.

If you dog is sitting on verbal command only at the house, once you introduce them to the new location and they are understanding that sit means sit at the new location, you can then start to ask for a sit at the new location and expect them to respond.

Mistake #3: Adding to many distractions to early. When adding distractions add them gradually. Your dog should be performing a behavior reliably before you move to the next level of distraction.

Imagine your are in your house. You put your dog in a down and then toss their favorite toy or treat in front of them. This the first time you have done this so the dog gets up. You correct them (which you shouldn't but that is another article) and repeat the exercise.

You dog remains in the down so you think, hey, I'll toss a pack of hot dogs down. While I'm being dramatic for the purpose of this article, this is what a lot of dog owners do without knowing they are doing it.

You are adding far to much distraction early and the dog is learning to fail instead of learning to succeed.

In the end, add distractions gradually. Understand that your dog has to generalize a behavior before they can do it in a new location, become a highly motivating distraction to your dog and be consistent. Your dog will behave in all locations at all times.

Most people have one of two opinions about dog bathing.  Some believe that dogs only need to be washed every year or so.  Others believe that they should bathe their pets once a month.

Bathing is really good for dogs, but it may cause problems if you do it too much.

This is because dogs have natural skin and fur oils, the same way that people do.  If you bathe your dogs too frequently, their skin will become dry and itchy.  This creates a risk of scratching and breaking skin.  Remember that the natural oils really are beneficial, and that they protect your dog from many things.

With care, you can make bathing entertaining for you and your pet.  Just watch for a few things.

1. It's important to provide protection for your dog's ears.  Soap and water, if they get into the ear canal, can cause significant infections.  This is often temporary, but infections can cause real damage, up to and including deafness.  If you think your dog may have an ear infection, look for frequent head shaking and discharge from the ears to be sure.

To make sure that this doesn't occur, all you need to do is use cotton balls to stop your dog's ears.  Never force these into the ear canal - just place them securely at the entrance of the ear, keeping water out.  Once the bath is over, dry the ears to keep moisture out - a finger wrapped in a cloth works well.  If you decide to use a cotton swab, make sure you don't put it too deeply into the ear canal, since it could damage the ear drum.

2. Remember to use a shampoo that's been made for dogs, since they're formulated to protect the fur and skin of your pet.  Soaps made for humans are often harsh or irritating, plus dogs may be allergic to the scents used in them.

3. The frequency with which you bathe your dog will depend on the breed you have.  Dogs with long hair need to be washed more often than breeds that have short hair. That means that if you have a hairy breed, such as a spaniel, you may need to bathe as often as once every two months.  Other breeds could go as long as eight months, but outdoor dogs will probably need more frequent bathing.

Start your dog off the right way when it comes to bathing - patience and compassion are extremely important.  Scaring your dog will make the entire process more difficult.  Dogs enjoy being wet, and may enjoy running into lakes and rivers or having water sprinkled on them.

Set the bath up outside when you can, and encourage your pet to run through it.  Distract your pet from the water with a toy or two, and once your pet calms down, you can start the bath.  Some people use a leash to keep their dog from running off.

When you bathe your pet, get the shampoo, towel, soap and other tools together early, and avoid using the hose.  Water from the garden hose is usually too cold.  Use a bowl with water from the bath instead - it'll be warmer.

If you teach your dog that bathing is to be enjoyed, you and your pet will enjoy the next session.

It's also important to look into the right dog training tools to make sure your pooch behaves like you want him or her to.

Most dog training professional would advise you to not wait until your best friend starts to show signs of bad behaviour before considering taking him to obedience training classes. Should your dog have obvious behavioural problems, taking him to a dog obedience school is the best solution, however you should enrol your new best friend before any obedience problems develop too far. It is far harder to re learn correct behaviour if the bad behavior is ingrained.

Some obedience problems with your dog may not always be so apparent at first. It is easy to overlook some minor indiscretions such as chewing, jumping up, and excessive barking all of these can be signs of a more serious problem.

In isolation these indiscretions may not be serious obedience problems, but it can be your dogs failure to control this type of bad behavior that ought to be a worry. Should you allow certain bad behaviour to continue without correction, it could lead to major aggravation and frustration for your beloved dog when you do try to correct it later on, this kind of delay could impair your dog's ability to learn the basics in obedience training. This frustration can lead to other obedience problems and a strained relationship between you and your best friend.

As previously stated if you clearly have dog obedience problems, it would be in the best interests of both you and your dog to take him to an obedience training class. This will help develop your skills as an owner and trainer and will help further develop the bond you have with your dog, these types of formal dog obedience lessons will help you and your dog in many ways.

Dog obedience training will enable you to address any of your dog's particular obedience problems, and will form the relationship you have with your dog for years to come.

Formal dog obedience classes will give your dog an outlet for his pent up energy, stretch his mind, tax his intelligence and his ability to complete the many and varied tasks required of him in class.

This will structure the basis for future learning between you both. Overall your dog will undoubtedly become more confident in everything you ask him to do. He will be happier, healthier and more eager to please than ever. But most importantly, the obedience training lessons will lead to a better relationship between you both.

It is vitally important to choose to the right dog obedience class, with a fully accredited dog training professional. The very problems and issues you are trying to train out of your dog can be made even worse by if you receive improper obedience training.

Most dog obedience training specialists will assess your dog's obedience training needs before developing a plan specifically designed for you both. Such dog training classes typically use a natural approach in their dog obedience training, that will not only result in improved obedience for your dog but will improve your own ability to train your dog and will teach your dog how to learn.

Sam Carter has produced a Dog Obedience e-book that will help solve the most common dog behavior problems quickly and easily, thanks to powerful insider information, thousands of dog owners worldwide have been successful with their dog training and solved their dog's behavior problems.
