Along with owning a dog comes, purchasing dog supplies. Two of the basic supplies a dog owner must have are a collar and leash. The choices in this area seem endless and quite confusing if you are a first time dog owner. The question often asked is "which collar offers me the opportunity to train, hold tags, and still looks good?" Martingale collars and leashes have been gaining popularity and with good reason.

These dog collars came about for use with sight hounds. The neck of the site hound is larger than their head allowing them to slip out of a buckle dog collar. Today, the martingale collar and leash sometimes referred to as a "show-leash" as it is the dog leash of choice by show dog handlers while in the ring.

Handlers and owners who have used this collar site the primary benefit as controlling your dog without choking or damaging their neck. Standard choke dog collars are by far the most popular collar purchased by dog owners. The issue is that most people do not fit the collar properly on the dog leading to neck and throat problems.

The collar has a small chain fitted with a control loop. This chain connects the sides of the collar; when you attach a leash to the control loop and tug the collar, it closes on your dog's neck. The result is even pressure placed on the neck stopping short of actually choking the dog.

When fitting your dog with a martingale collar measure your dog's neck just behind the ears and purchase a collar that when the control loop is pulled tight the sides almost touch. The difference between the standard choke and the martingale collar is that if your dog pulls and tugs while walking the choke continues to pull tight where the sides of the martingale collar will stop.

They also come as an all-in-one martingale collar and leash, which is the collar you will see when you are watching then next Dog Show. Martingale collars are the perfect choice for small dogs as well, as their necks are very delicate. Training your small dog to walk on a leash using a standard choke will cause damage as you tug. Using a buckle type dog collar for training offers no control and their purpose is to add fashion as well as hold the dog tags.

The martingale collar is also a great choice for the jogger in the family who likes the security of having the dog along for the run. They are the best purchase any dog owner who is looking for an all purpose collar that will accomplish many goals from training, holding tags, and adding a little fashion.

Are you confused about which wire to use when getting your electronic dog fence. The 2 most common types of dog fence wire are 18 Gage and 20 Gage. Which should you choose for your situation and why? Obviously, both gages work for all underground fence systems or Innotek, PetSafe or other manufacturers would not pack their dog fence systems with 20 Gage wire. Perimeter Technologies pack their dog fence systems with 20 g or 18 g. This dog fence wire can often be very difficult to find, as individual rolls, unless the retailer actually sells the dog fence kits and sometimes they do not even sell the extra wire rolls separately.

However, there are some recommended guidelines that will help you decide which dog fence wire will be better for you. First 18 Gage is stronger and more durable and long lasting than 20 Gage Boundary wire. Solid core copper wire is better than stranded wire.

Here are some guidelines to follow:

Use 18 Gage if you have

• Rocky soil or rocks
• If you are not burying the wire
• Many trees or vegetation
• Larger than 5 acres

Use 20 Gage if you have:

• Loose sandy or clay soil
• Putting wire next to a fence
• Few trees or vegetation
• 5 acres or smaller area

PLEASE NOTE - If installing an electronic dog fence above ground, you will need to use lawn staples every 5 feet to keep the wire in place. If the wire moves around then the dog will become confused about where his boundaries are. These are sold in packages of about 100 staples. One package will take care of one 500 foot spool of wire. Where you cut grass, it is best to bury the wire.

A few important tips to keep in mind when purchasing a fence system:

-Installing the wire underground the best tool to use is an edger, a gas powered edger or an edger that also lays cable at the same time, it could be called a cable layer or edger-trencher. The wire only needs to be buried 2 -3 in but can go deeper if you want.

-Never mix 2 types of wire! Mixed wire can give you signal problems and affect the functioning of your system. If you use 20 Gage stranded to start, then stick with 20 Gage stranded. Don't go from stranded to solid core. The same goes for all the different types and sizes of wire. If more than 500 foot is being purchased for larger areas, make sure that extra wire is the same type of wire.

- If you are using the pre-twisted wire you must use 20 Gage twisted wire with 20 Gage solid core wire and if you are using 18 Gage wire for your fence you must use 18 Gage twisted wire. Pre-twisted wire is use to create a gateway or place where the dog can cross the dog fence wire and not get a stimulation or shock from his collar.

-NEVER attach or weave dog your fencing wire through a CHAIN LINK FENCE or metal fence; it will negatively affect the functioning of the fence systems.

-If you have an existing fence that your dog jumps, climbs over or digs under, it would be best to put the electric fence wire at least one foot inside the existing fence, not attach it to the existing fence. That way the dog will be able to get the collar, he is wearing, to cross the wire in order to get a shock . If the dog fence wire is too close to the existing wooden or chain link fence then the dog will not get a shock and not be deterred.

-If you are running the dog fence wire going through a forest or heavily treed area, where you cannot bury the wire, just leave it on the surface. Use staples or trees to keep the wire in place and the ground will grow up over it. It is important to bury the wire where you will be cutting grass over the wire.

-The wire is waterproof with a Polyurethane coating and can also go through wet or swampy areas and still work just fine.

-IMPORTANT, if your are ordering extra rolls of wire, you should always order an extra set of 50 boundary flags with every extra roll of 500 foot of wire that you purchase. It is important for your pet to know the boundary. If you order 1500 foot of wire for example, you should get 150 boundary flags.

Your dog will be wearing their dog collar for a long time. This is because they hold important information such as ID tags. This means that if your dog happens to get lost, when it is found you can be located as the owner and get your dog back. So you do not want the dog collar to be too tight on your dog since it will be wearing it a lot, as this would be uncomfortable for your dog. On the other hand, a dog collar is very important for when you are walking your dog, as you attach your leash to it, so you do not want your dogs collar to be too big, as if it spots a cat it will likely run off after it. You do not want it to slip off!

First of all, it is important to note that there are no one-size-fits-all collars. There are many collars to pick from. There are three things to consider when picking the right size collar for your dog. First of all, you need to consider the width of the collar. You will also need to consider the length. Finally, you will need to consider how tight the collar feels on your dog before making your decision. Below are some tips for each one, to help you make a good decision;

Width

Width is another way of saying how thick a collar is. When deciding how thick a collar should be, you should go with common sense. Consider the size of your dog. You should never get a poodle and one-inch wide collar. Not only would this look ridiculous, but your dog would struggle to hold the weight of it on its neck. Conversely, you will want to give a big dog a thick collar so it is not too flimsy.

Length

This is a very important step. Before you buy a dog collar, make sure you measure your dogs neck. Take this measurement and then add two or three inches on to the measurement. The length you are left with should be the correct target length of whatever collar you buy. Do not worry about not being able to find a collar to fit the length of your dogs neck. There are lots of different sizes of collars out there.

Tightness

When you put your collar on your dog, you should be able to slip two fingers in between the collar and your dogs neck. If you are unable to do this, then you know that the collar is too tight on your dogs neck and should be loosened so it does not restrict your dogs breathing. If you can slip more than two fingers in, then you know that it is too loose.

With these tips, you should be able to find the correct size dog collar for your dog easily.

Training Dog Collars is a post from: Grassroots Dog Training Advice

Most people have heard of gun shy dogs. It's really a misnomer, because they aren't afraid of guns as such. They're afraid of any loud noises that resemble a gun being shot. This includes vehicles backfiring, fireworks, thunderstorms and, of course, gunfire.

Many gun shy dogs have been seriously injured and even killed when fireworks displays have scared them. Their first instinct is to run and, unfortunately, that often means running into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

Dog owners with gun shy dogs have to be watchful, especially in summer, when there often are loud noises that come out of the blue. Apart from running into harms way, gun shy dogs can be extremely destructive.

They climb on and destroy furniture, they scratch in corners, at walls and doors. They dig under fences in a desperate attempt to escape. Some dogs have severely injured themselves jumping through glass windows in fear.

Dog owners who inadvertently leave a door or gate open will soon discover that their beloved dogs have disappeared. If you're lucky, your dog will return when the fear and the perceived danger has stopped.

Here are six safety tips you can use to protect your gun shy dog.

Dog Safety Tip #1. Travel safety

If your gun shy dog travels with you, be aware of areas where there might be loud noises, such as while driving past road construction. The workers often use dynamite and heavy machinery that can scare your dog. Keep your car windows rolled up.

Dog Safety Tip #2. Keep an ID on your dog

A gun shy dog should always wear a secure collar with an ID tag attached that contains the dog's name and dog owner's phone number, and a current rabies tag.

Be sure to include any special information that finders might need to know. For instance, if he requires medication (ie: diabetes, thyroid, epilepsy), just in case you don't get him back before his next dose. If he does go into a health situation, the finder won't have to worry that he might have rabies or other dangerous disease. Besides, the person will know to get treatment for your dog.

Dog Safety Tip #3. Find a safe place for your gun shy dog

Dogs will seek shelter where they can hide, often somewhere tight and dark such as under a table or in a cave. You can ease his distress by making a spot for him in a closet or under the bed where he can head when he becomes afraid. Get him used to that area prior to such an emergency. Put a familiar blanket on the floor and include a favorite toy to help distract him from the noise. A radio will help.

Dog Safety Tip #4. Seek medical advice

Some gun shy dogs are absolutely terrified and anxious during fireworks displays and thunder storms. Ask your vet if he can prescribe a sedative you can keep on hand for such events.

Dog Safety Tip #5.

Get training for your gun shy dog. Dog trainers can advise you on how to desensitize your pet to those alarming loud noises. It will take some time, but it can be done.

Dog Safety Tip #6: Watch your own reaction

The first instinct of many dog owners is to hold their trembling dog and talk sweetly to try to calm him. This is one of the worst things you can do because it confirms his beliefs that something is wrong.

The best approach is to talk normally to your dog, reassure him by telling him "it's okay, relax", and pet him normally. Don't make a big fuss. Laughing is a good response because it's the opposite of what he's experiencing and sends the message that there really is nothing to fear.

Distraction is extremely effective. Call his name when he's listening intently to the noise. Offer his squeaky toy. Play with him while constantly talking to keep his ears busy.

With these six dog safety tips, dog owners can alleviate their pet's fears and keep them safe from harm.

Preparation is important. Have a leash handy for when things get too noisy. Have sedatives on hand. Make sure all the doors, windows and gates are secured. Close your car windows. Get your dog used to a safe hideout in your home where he can feel protected.

Dog safety is of prime importance for any dog owner with a gun shy dog.

1.  Never confine your puppy to the crate unless you are at home and can observe them. The only exception to this is at night when you are going to sleep.  In the day, after an hour in the crate, give your puppy the chance to eliminate outside.  Put your puppy on a leash, take them to their designated elimination spot, and give them puppy 3 - 5 minutes to produce.

2.  If your puppy does not eliminate during the time you've given them, then just return them to their crate.  However, if they do eliminate then immediately give them praise, or reward them with treats and/or playtime.  Let your puppy run freely in the house.  Once you know they have just eliminated, you can be almost certain there won't be an accidents.  After a bit of free time, have your puppy return to their crate, and be ready to take them back outside in another 45 - 60 minutes from their last bathroom break.

3.  An easy way to keep track of the bathroom breaks is to keep a journal of your puppy's routine.  So long as you feed your puppy at a scheduled time each day, their need to eliminate should correspond with that time.  After you know what time of day your puppy needs to eliminate, begin taking them outside only at those times instead of once an hour.

4.  Once you get to this point, and your puppy is able to roam freely in the house, you should put them in the crate about an hour before their scheduled elimination time.  Doing this prevents your puppy from eliminating earlier than expected.  Being consistent with your training and giving them ample praise and rewards for eliminating outside, will make your puppy be more reliable at holding it until you take them out.  When your puppy is successful with this, begin reducing the amount of time your puppy is confined before their bathroom break.  In the end you will not need to confine your puppy in order for them to hold it until you take them outside.

5.  It is vital to create a routine, so your puppy learns to eliminate in the correct place while you are present.  Being present when your puppy eliminates gives you the chance to praise them, and will decrease the chances accidents in the house.

6.  When you are not at home make sure you don't let your puppy have free reign of the house.  Instead confine them to a small area such as the kitchen, or a bathroom where the floors are stain and water-resistant.  And remember that confinement to this area is not the same as crate training.

7.  It is likely that your puppy will have accidents during house breaking, and you must remember not to punish them for it.  The best way to train a puppy or dog is to reward the good behavior, instead of punishing the bad.  If your puppy has accidents, then go back to the steps where you are supervising them when they have free reign of the house, and using the crate to encourage them to hold it.

German Shepherds make excellent guard dogs for a number of reasons. They are strong, clever and highly obedient which makes training German Shepherds a pleasant task. Only specific dogs have the ability to be trained to work with people and the public. Guard dogs are used by the police, private security companies and for personal use. Many people have bought a German Shepherd as a family dog and if the dog shows potential during basic obedience training they might want to advance and train the dog to be a guard dog.

Training should start when the dog is still young because this is when the dog will want to learn. You can train your German Shepherd the basic skills of obedience training and scent discrimination yourself without any assistance. After your German Shepherd has mastered the basics and if you are prepared to advance you might want to approach your local dog club for advice in training a guard dog. In order for your dog to become an official guard dog you will have to attend guard dog trials. Guard dogs are required to complete various tests as well as be able to past a character test.

The following criteria are included in most guard dog trials:

• Basic obedience exercises
• Scent discrimination
• No gun shyness
• Protective instinct
• Listening skills
• Following of orders

Trainers and officials will assist you in preparing your German Shepherd for guard dog training trials. Your German shepherd needs to be able to perform a number of exercises in order to pass the test. Some examples of the exercises asked in guard dog training are:

• Simulated attacks on the dog and its master
• Flight of the attacker
• Pursuit by the dog
• Barking and alerting of danger
• Locate hiding persons

Dog aggression is a very common problem facing millions of pet owners, and can be due to a variety of genetic and environmental issues. Aggressive behavior can have very serious consequences and must be dealt with immediately before someone is injured. Aggression in dogs can be triggered for a variety of reasons so it should be handled in many different ways.

Aggressive dog behavior can be a serious issue for many people who simply don't know how to deal with the behavior. Aggression is a common problem, and can be seen in all breeds of dogs, although some breeds have a predisposition to display this behavior.

Dog aggression is a complex issue and professional assistance is recommended in helping to correct the problem. It should be noted that it is not just a dog problem, it is also a human problem. You must understand that aggressive behavior in your dog is a serious and dangerous situation.

An important part of dealing with aggressive behavior is determining the reason behind the aggression. Dogs are generally aggressive for one of four reasons: they are fearful, they want to dominate, they are possessive, or they have a strong predatory instinct.

Although aggression is an undesirable trait in a family pet, it is part of your dog's natural way to communicate. Dog-dog aggression is a potentially serious problem for dogs, (or humans who may be drawn into the conflict). It is important to remember that dog-dog aggression is never acceptable and this must be made crystal clear to your pet every time it happens.

Dog aggression is a common behavior which is derived from the fact that dogs are pack animals. It is a normal instinct for them to compete from the time they are born. Dominant aggressive dogs are overly protective of their status and possessions.

The most effective way to stop aggressive behavior is through training. Humans commonly reinforce dog aggression by trying to soothe the dog with affection instead of letting him know that this behavior is unacceptable. You must recognize that aggressive dog behavior is very serious and it must be controlled before it escalates. Aggressive behavior can be caused by a variety of factors, but most of them can be controlled with proper training.

Regardless of the method that you choose to stop your dog's aggressive behavior, it's essential that you take action to put an end to it right away before it becomes a serious issue. If you want to stop aggressive dog behavior towards strangers, you must recognize that proper socialization of your dog is the most important, first step of training your dog.

If you want to stop aggressive dog behavior, you must be consistent in your obedience training efforts and remain patient as dog aggression is a problem that cannot be cured overnight.

Come to think of it, training a God is not just converting your dog to simple following your instructions and commands. When you start training your dog for obedience and anti aggressive behavior you actually increase your interaction with your pet. In the course of training, your dog learns a few tricks, but at the same time you also get to learn a lot about your four legged companion.

There are numerous ways and means to train a dog, but one of the most effective dog training aids is an electronic clicker The essence of clicker training is that the dog is guided, not forced, into the desired behavior.

The clicker works on the principles of conditioning behavior and association of actions with sounds as experimented by Ivan Pavlov (a Russian Behavioral expert) long ago. He researched and established a relation between sounds and sight. He determined that even in the absence of the actual situation we can condition an intelligent animal such as a dog to react for a situation on hearing a sound even in the absence of the actual situation and associating sounds with events and required actions.

Pavlov had trained conditioned his dog for associating the sound of a bell with food and the dogs even started producing additional saliva when the bell rang and food was not provided as they had over a period of time associated the sound with food.

In the similar way you can train your dogs to act and behave in a required manner to the sound of a clicker. It takes a lot of patience, but is entirely non-confrontational. If you learn and understand clicker training you will not only be more effective in training dogs, but you will probably also improve your people handling skills.

Clicker in my opinion is one of the greatest dog training aids developed till now and suitable for dogs of all sizes and breeds.

I've created a 6 Day Dog Training Aids Program for anyone who would like to get excellent results in 6 days. This program is designed to help you start training your dogs quicker than you ever thought possible. You'll have a dog that knows how to behave in the shortest amount of time possible.

Crate Training For Dogs is a post from: Grassroots Dog Training Advice

The German Shepherd is considered as one of the most elegant and noble breed of dogs. With its high pointing ears and shiny coats, the strong and agile appearance of these dogs are only preceded by their intelligence. These dogs learn quickly and will never forget what was taught to them. Because they are hardworking and active, German Shepherds are also praised for their capability to do work. But just where did this breed come from? And how did this breed attain the reputation that it has now?

History

During the mid-1800s, a group of dog breeders called the Phylax Society was formed in order to foster a local breed of dogs for the German nation. This group conducted discussions and experiments by mixing different breeds, hoping to arrive with an offspring that had the advantages of its parents. Unfortunately, the group did not last long and in 1894, the group disbanded. Though the Phylax Society was not successful for the creation of the current German Shepherds, the studies it conducted was able to give way for its creation.

By the end of the 19th century, a German captain named Max von Stephanitz, who is considered as the father of the breed, formed another group that aimed for the creation of the best breed of sheepdogs, from which arrived the modern-day German shepherds.

Though there were high risks in having defective offsprings, inbreeding was necessary to permanently fix the qualities during the early years of the German Shepherds. In order to keep the breed alive, Von Stephanitz had to find other uses for the breed aside from regular sheep herding. He soon realized that the abilities of the breed can be very helpful for government activities. During the two world wars, the German Shepherd has gained much praise from their owners for being a very brave and reliable companion in the field. It is for these reasons that the breed has become one of the most popular breeds in the world.

Name change

After the second world war, the name of the breed was changed for certain reasons. From the German Shepherd it became the Alsatian wolf dog which was named after the German-French border Alsace-Lorraine. But in 1977, the original name of the breed was returned and is currently used in most countries.

German Shepherds provides detailed information on German Shepherds, German Shepherd Breeders, German Shepherd Kennels, German Shepherd Puppies and more. German Shepherds is affiliated with Golden Retriever Training.

No doubt, every owner wants that his dog obeys him in better way. Well, I can not say that how good your dog behaves with you but if it isn't than these tips worth a lot for you to train your pup. There are no such hard and fast rules you even can start practicing these tips on your pup and I am sure that you will get 100% results.

Communicate with your dog by Sign Language:

You will not believe it but yes it is true and 100% works that instead of verbal communication, sign language is very helpful to make a dog obedient. Many researches have shown that dogs feel it quite difficult to understand verbal commands of their owners. Only the commands they can understand easily are Sit, Stand, Fetch and Come etc. Except these a dog is unable to understand that owner is commanding him. So I being a good trainer analyzed that instead of verbal communication using sign language is quite effective for dog training.

Simple! you have to start communicating with your dog by different signs. Suppose if you want to call him than instead of calling him just tap your leg or clap to him. At first he might be hesitant to learn this trick but after some practice he will surely understand that what you want from him. Choose specific signs to teach them to your dog and practice them on your puppy on daily basis. I am sure that your pup will learn these tricks very quickly.

Do not shout at your dog:

To stop your dog from barking is quite difficult because it has been seen that most of the owners start yelling at their pups while they are barking. Folks, do not forget that a dog can not understand your language and you are just adding more aggression (by shouting) on his mind while he is barking. Instead of shouting make him realize by signs that it is not the time to bark. Only thing you have to do is to take him in when he is barking outside and take him out if he is showing aggression in the home. Repeat this process and this practice will surely realizes dog that it is not the time to bark.

Lastly, due to shortage of time only few tips are given in this article but I am sure that above mentioned tips are quite helpful for dog training.

Training Your Dog is a post from: Grassroots Dog Training Advice

It is that time of year. The Christmas pups are 16 to 24 weeks old. Now what do we do with him? The person on the other end of the phone begs for mercy. The calls are coming in and people are in a panic. With so many "ways" to train, which direction do you turn? TV shows have to sensationalize dog training to keep their ratings and anyone and their brother can call themselves a trainer. Look for someone that shares the same ideals and philosophies you do. Your new dog and family "coach" should have an education in the theory and process of learning and comprehension not just a "certificate" in dog training. They should have years of experience training and handling dogs and not just a person who needs extra money after their day job making pizzas. This is serious business. After all, this is the dog you will be keeping for the next fourteen years. Let us not mess his head up before he is even a year old.

I for one, am tired of hearing about the "pack", being the "leader" getting "control", showing him who is "boss" etc., etc. Yikes! What a bunch of control freaks! Dogs are perpetual toddlers. Show them, teach them, set them up for success, have limitations, boundaries and reasonable expectations and stick to it! Don not change the rules. Have all the members of the household participate in their education, follow a plan and live happily ever after. Sound too simple to be true? Dog training is crazy simple...it is teaching people how to behave that is difficult.

Get help with house training your pup. The process is not difficult but too lengthy to approach here. Patricia McConnell has a great little book, Way to Go, that really explains all the details. Google Patricia McConnell for more info. All of Trisha's books are great! Once you are on the right track with that, be reasonable with the length of time you expect your dog to stay by himself. Dogs by the way are not "pack" animals and there is plenty of scientific evidence to prove this. But, they do live in extended family groups. So that one is easy, they live in families just like us, so they understand our basic social structure. Providing your family is an emotionally healthy unit all should go well. Let us talk about being the "leader". How about being a good "parent"? A good parent is not a bully, does not go around controlling and intimidating and certainly tries to provide a healthy environment. So, set the pups up to be right, do not place them in an area where they will constantly be able to get in to trouble and be yelled at for every step they take.

Provide a "baby" safe area, such as the kitchen for the pup to play with his toys. Everything on the floor is his. Pick up your things. Now is not the time to teach him "No" because you are too lazy to pick up your shoes and socks. Interact with him, play with him, pet him and when you are finished, put him back in his crate or out of doors if he is not completely house trained. If your house has an open floor plan and is too hard to section off for the pup, then the pup should wear a harness and a "drag line". The line can be an inexpensive piece of clothes line or the like. Cut the line about twelve feet in length and tie it to the harness. The pup can now go about the house with you. The line prevents him from getting into trouble. You still should be playing and interacting with him, distracting him away from trouble. Prevention is not the cure, but it will teach him the right way to live in your house while you are teaching him puppy obedience exercises. Make sure he gets enough "doggie play time" and not just walking....slowly next to your side, under control. BORING! UGH! Dogs travel at a much faster pace than we humans do. They naturally want to hustle and move out at a nice trot. We need to save that thought for another article. Play time should be out of doors. Don not rough house in doors if you expect your pup to have "house manners". All the chase games, ball tossing and in general "fly around and be crazy" should be out of doors games. If your pup starts to "boogy butt" in the house, tell him, "Not inside" and take him out and play with him until he is tired. Go back in side and expect him to settle.

Hope that helps. Until next time, hug the pup and remember how much you wanted that little guy!

If you have a disability or some other medical condition, chances are very good that you can still enjoy the companionship of a dog just like anyone else. It has been show that people with disabilities often have improved their quality of living by having a dog present in there homes and this is due to a number of factors. Having a disability does not have to put a damper on your relationship with your dog and their are a number of things you can do to maximize the quality of your relationship with your dog.

Dogs require care just like any other creature and this often involves giving shots, grooming, and other activities which will require your efforts. Having a disability can sometimes hinder your ability to perform these activities so you may need to turn to other sources of help, such as your veterinarian, or an in dog care representative, in order to perform these required tasks. There are many individuals who would be willing to make house visits in order to help you care for your dog including dog sitters, your own family, and perhaps some of your close neighbors. Most dog sitters are trained to handle and care for dogs so chances are they will know how to work with your dog in order to provide him the care that you are unable to do when it comes to these types of activities.

There are an unlimited number of activities that you can participate in with your dog that do not require a lot of effort on your part. Dogs love to chase and fetch and a great way to allow them to do so is by using flashlights or laser pointers. By simply moving your wrist just a little bit in order to shine the light onto the floor, you can provide your dog with hours of fun by teasing him with the light so as to make him chase it. There are other remote control toys that you can purchase that will provide your dog with plenty of entertainment as well such as remote control cars, stuffed animals, and so on. Both the laser pointer and remote control toys are excellent sources of exercise for your dog and do not require a lot of physical activity on your part.

Many dogs are trained to assist humans in some of the more simple functions of daily life like walking, seeing, and so on. If this pertains to you, then you may benefit from getting a dog that is able to assist you in some or many of these functions. If you're concerned about bringing your dog out into the public and not being able to bring him to many places that you want to go, don't worry because assistance dogs can be taken anywhere that dogs trained for leading the blind or def are allowed.

There are a number of shortcuts you can take when performing daily activities around the house for your dog. One great example is feeding strategy. You may consider saving a little effort by pre-packing your dogs food into individual serving size bags so when it comes time to feed your dog, all you have to do is dump the contents into their dog bowl. This will save you some effort of having to pick up the dog bowl and move it around in order to get it filled. If you have trouble bending over or crouching down to pick the dog bowl up off the floor, then you may want to consider purchasing a stand which will hold your dog's food dish up off the ground which will make it easier for you as well as your dog.

If you have a disability which prevents you from exerting a lot of physical activity, then you may not be able to walk your dog like you would normally want to. One option that you can consider is hiring someone to walk your dog for you, or perhaps even convincing a neighborhood kid or adult to take your dog for a walk on a regular basis. There is always someone that is willing to help walk your dog for you. If you have a fenced in yard, you may be able to get by without having to walk your dog if you simply allow them to run around in that yard on numerous occasions throughout the day. This will also allow them to get the exercise they need.

Just because you have a disability does not mean that you can't have a dog and you can enjoy all of the pleasures and happiness that any dog owner gets by having that level of companionship. If you have a disability, there are ways to continue to provide your dog with a healthy and happy lifestyle without having to make your life any different.

Have you recently brought your gorgeous little puppy home but are having sleepless nights as he doesn't feel safe and comfortable at night? Do you worry that your puppy is roaming around your house whilst you're in bed and could hurt himself? The answer to these problems is crate training. I've put together the best advice I used for crate training your puppy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY?

Some people get the wrong idea about using a crate for your puppy but that is because they don't understand how to use the crate. They are not for punishing your puppy, they are to give him his own space.

If you can get your puppy crate trained, it will make life so much easier for you when you need to take him to the vets as crates are great for transporting your dog around. If you need to make a long journey with your dog, such as a family holiday, then the crate will prove to be a comfortable carrier for your dog that he is happy to be in and enjoy the journey!

MY TOP TIPS FOR CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY:

#1 - Make the crate nice and cosy for your puppy by ensuring that you have a comfortable base bed/blanket in there. Attach a water bottle to the side of the crate. This works better than having a water bowl inside as there's a good chance your puppy would knock it over and spill water all over the crate!

#2 - Give your puppy something to do! Leave a couple of his favourite toys in there and some tasty chews.

#3 - Get the right crate for the breed of dog you have. Unless you have an endless supply of cash, you won't want to be having to replace the crate when your puppy grows up!

#4 - When your puppy leaves the litter he will be confused by his new environment. Many breeders will give new owners a blanket or toy that has his mothers scent on it. This will be a great comfort to your puppy when he is getting used to his new surroundings.

#5 - You must never use the crate as a punishment. If you do it will confuse your puppy.

I discovered a great training method for crate training your puppy.

There is such a wide range of dog training books, picking the right one for you and your dog can be confusing. Some aspects of these books need to be considered before you make the decision to buy an expensive training book. Keep these things in mind when you go shopping for your training book.

The first question you should ask yourself is exactly what you are hoping to accomplish with the dog training. The greatest dog training books out there are the ones that work on creating a meaningful connection between you and your pet. Your highest ambition should be to create such a connection, and not be simply concentrating on training your dog.

It's really important that you be aware of what "method" that each of the various dog training books use before you decide to purchase it. Some methods work better than others, and some don't work at all. When considering the methods and choosing one, there are several things you should keep in mind. A few things you need to think about when deciding upon which technique you will employ are:

• Has this method been successful for anyone?

• Is this particular method easy to understand or too complicated?

• Do you feel comfortable with these techniques and will you be able to use them?

• How will your own dog react to these techniques?

• What incentives do they require you to offer to your pet?

• Do they continually use treats and praise incentives, or do they include affirmative reinforcement techniques?

• Is there additional training equipment such as clickers or collars that you will need to purchase and how expensive will that equipment be?

The experience level should also be taken into consideration when choosing the right book for dog training. For a puppies and untrained dogs, look specifically for books that are written for these beginners. But you can also find advanced books for dogs that already have basic training. Remember, we're not talking about just your dog's level of experience you will be taking into consideration, but your own level, too. For those who are somewhat new at training dogs, some of the more complicated methods and advanced techniques for learning tricks might end up confusing both of you.

Be sure to take your dog's breed into consideration when you are choosing a dog training book. Purebred dogs will sometimes have certain quirks that are specific to each of the breeds. These quirks are acknowledged and discussed in a lot of the more breed specific books. However, you'll notice that purebreds are not the only dogs that have specialized books about them. There are dog training books geared to specific mixed breed dogs as well. It's important to know that mixed breeds, or those with questionable parentage, are not shut out of the loop.

When you're considering purchasing any book, checking out customer reviews is always a good idea. Customers who have already purchased and tried the methods offered in the book are a good source of information. They can give you invaluable information on what works or not, and how worthwhile the advice on dog training really was. These comments are completely based upon the user's personal experience, so you can figure out which techniques are better than others simply by reading quite a few reviews.

The last suggestion is to talk to people you know. Go talk to people who already have dogs, and see what they would recommend as good dog training books for you. If nothing else, this information may give you either a starting point for choosing a training book for your dog, or may help you narrow down a list that is too extensive. In addition, you will learn what techniques were effective and which ones were not. Just remember the most important part is that you and your dog find a type of training that fits both of you well.
