Dog Training Aids
By Pam Phipps
It used to be the only dog training aids you had available would be to either take your dog to a training site and with gas prices these days who needs the extra added cost. You could also pay to have a dog trainer come to your home but the cost for these types of lessons can be very expensive.
As with anything else the Internet has made available tons of dog training aids. Every year more and more top trainers around the world are putting together dog training aids in the form of down-loadable ebooks, audio and video training lessons. These dog training aids allow you access to some of the best trainers at only a fraction of the cost and in many opinions a better format because you are training your dog.
It serves to build a better relationship with your pet when you are the one providing the training rather than a stranger who is going to spend time training once a week or so and then be gone.
With these new dog training aids you can take the time to go over the training and then work with your dog as much as needed to ensure it is being effective. Using a trainer at your home you always have the worry of cost and if something is taking longer than normal then it is costing you more money.
Many of the new online dog training aids also come with access to member forum areas, question/answer session with top trainers and access to support if you are experiencing problems with the lessons. In most cases you have the same or more support than you would using a local dog trainer.
Trainers like Dove Cresswell who has spend years training dogs and other animals for the movies and television are creating outstanding dog training aids. You can choose a complete course or there are specific types of training for obedience, house breaking, chewing / biting, etc.

My Dog Training Years
One interest I always had was training dogs with or without behavioural problems. When I was a baby in arms my family always had a relatively large dog. Maybe it just seemed like that because I was so small back then. Sometimes our dogs had behavioural problems such as excessive barking, jumping up and running wild. The first I remember was Floss, a sheepdog who was a really exciting fellow indeed. He was predominantly white with some black and tan highlights thrown in for distraction.
Anyway when I was eleven years old and was on summer vacation from school the whole family went to my Mothers home place in rural Ireland for a the summer months. One day while on my regular rounds around the local town visiting cousins friends and acquaintances didnt I hear the barking of what I discovered to be a lovely dog. He was an Irish red setter. Wow, I thought, I would love that fine looking dog. His name was Bruno and was owned by the local police sergeant. To my utter surprise it turned out that sergeant Lowery was willing to sell the barking dog and within thirty minutes of spotting the lovely dog I had arranged to buy him for six pounds. My first ever serious purchase. Wow, I was delighted.
I now had to run home to tell my parents whom to my dismay seemed to take the news as though I was always as entitled as the next to conduct such negotiations without question. I was concerned that they would be concerned as regards strange dogs behavioral problems. But no there was no such concern. I do seem to remember having to arrange an advance on my pocket money or some such issue. But it was sure worth it to have such a fine dog, and all the family seemed very happy with the new addition to the household. I remember wondering how the dog knew that he was mine. He took to me so well and also I to him. I was the master and he was my new companion. I surely was proud.
I remember even my Father deciding that he better bring the dog home to Dublin ahead of the rest of us just to settle him in at home before we all returned for the new school term. Of course it was just that Dad wanted to be first to sport the new great dog around the parish in view of all the jealous locals. Dad was proud of the new addition too. That was easy to tell. By the time I got home to Dublin that September Dad had changed the dogs name from Bruno to Bran, saying that that was a more fitting name for a mature looking dog. I think my Dad didnt like the dogs name to remind him of the like named pipe tobacco regularly advertised on TV. He was always very anti smoking.
Anyway no sooner did I settle back to city life then I started to train Bran to my liking. Sit, lie down, stay, fetch, heel and sit up were the commands that I centered on. Bran was more than happy to oblige. He was so happy to be told what I wanted him to do and also he was happier to understand each different order. Eventually he literally went on the jumping through hoola hoops. I know that is not what the inventor intended for his novel product but I found a new purpose for it.
Of course I took to dog training my dogs like a duck to water. Since those days I have always had one or more dogs. Since then I can list an Irish Red Setter, a Doberman, an Afghan Hound and also, what is now my favourite breed of all, a number of German Shepard dogs. German Shepards are so keen to learn to please their master by obeying their every command. Actually nearly every breed of dog is that way inclined, if treated well by responsible owners.
Dogs can start of by having behavioral problems. But if such behavioral problems are caught early by understanding masters and owners, then there is no problem in the long run. I really enjoyed training my dogs to behave in an ideal manner and advice on such matters is always an advantage. A properly behaved and responsive dog is worth its weight in gold. A properly trained dog is a great personal asset as regards companionship and security. And remember that owning a dog is a very real responsibility.

Adopting a Dog Four Things to Consider
By Charles Essmeier
Dogs are wildly popular pets; in 2006, there were more than sixty one million dogs in the United States alone. While dogs have utilitarian uses, such as hunting, security, or aiding the handicapped, most people have them as pets simply because they provide companionship. Dogs do make good companions, and they are loyal and attentive pets. They are not suitable for everyone, however.
Prior to adopting a dog, there are a few things you may wish to consider ahead of time:
Maintenance issues. Dogs require a lot of maintenance. Unlike cats, they will need to go outside from time to time. If you dont have a fenced yard where the animal can run unattended, you will have to personally walk your pet several times a day. You could hire that job out, but either way, you will have to provide either money or time in order to tend to your pets outside needs.
Suitability issues. If you have young children, you should choose your pet carefully. Its not uncommon for parents of small children to choose a "puppy" for a pet without considering what sort of puppy they are adopting. While a young Dachshund and a young Labrador Retriever may be similar in size, they will not be the same size in six months or a year. Your dog will grow much faster than your children, so you should keep the pets future size in mind if adopting a puppy.
Expense issues. Owning a pet of any type can be expensive, and dogs are no exception. Pets need to be fed daily, and the cost of food can add up quickly, particularly if you have a larger animal. In addition, there will be occasional visits to the veterinarian, along with vaccinations and even licenses, depending on where you live.
Responsibility issues. Owning a pet comes with great responsibility. Dogs need to be regularly fed. They need time outside the house. They need to see a vet from time to time, and they need attention. Pet ownership comes with an obligation on the part of the owner to see to it that all of the pets needs are met. If you are an adult and you are buying a pet for your child, keep in mind that these responsibilities ultimately become yours.
Owning a pet in general, and a dog in particular, can be a rewarding experience. Prospective owners need to be aware of all that is involved in owning a pet prior to adopting one. The better you understand what you will need to do ahead of time, the better off you and your dog will be.

Good dog training skills
When you decide its time to train your dog, its very common to be a bit lost. Good dog-training skills come naturally to very few people. In order to train your pet properly, preparing yourself with some good advice is an excellent idea. This article contains good guidelines for several different aspects of dog training.
Give challenges to your dog on a regular basis. Test what he knows by giving commands, even if you are sure that he has the skill mastered.
Dogs should always feel safe and secure while training them. When a dog is insecure about their safety, they could lash out with bad behavior. So this doesnt happen, make sure your dog is always safe.
Dogs need to be taught the right habits as soon as they are brought to your home. Your dog should learn the right ways of doing things instead of developing bad habits that will need to be corrected later on. If you never give your dog any scraps from table food, they will never start begging for it.
When training your dog, always remember to have fun. Playing with your dog helps build a stronger bond between dog and human, which encourages the dog to respond positively during training. Although dog training can be fun, you dont really want to spend all your time in training mode.
Everyone in your household needs to be on board for dog training to be effective. While he may have one person who works with him on a regular basis, having everyone be a part of his training will teach him that he must follow the rules of the house at all times, and keep his training more consistent.
Use treats your dog really loves to achieve maximum training efficiency. This might be an extra-special treat that your dog does not ordinarily have the opportunity to enjoy.
Dogs tend to concentrate on one thing to the exclusion of everything else unless that concentration is interrupted. With enough training, you will have your dog focusing solely on your signals.
Destructive chewing is often a result of anxiety. Putting your dog in his crate with a chew toy will reduce the chance of destructive events and give him something to do while he waits for you.
A consistent schedule of feeding and potty-time is very important when house training your dog. This will give you an idea of when the dog is likely to have to go, so you can take it outdoors to take care of this matter before an accident occurs on your rug. Conversely, this also teaches your dog that he may need to wait to go to the bathroom.
Ensure that your dog understands the rules. This means everyone living in the house needs to enforce the boundaries you set. This will quickly undo all of your hard work and training.
While training your dog, make sure both of you are having fun. Taking some time to have fun with your dog makes your dog like you more, which means fewer problems when training him. Having fun with your dog during training is one thing, but playing and having fun with your dog outside of training is also necessary.
Choose from a range of treats to give your dog as training reward. These treats cannot be confused with every day treats at first, because you need to create a sense of specialness which will encourage the dog to obey your commands, since they know that the treats they will be receiving are out of the ordinary.
Any complicated or multistage task you would like to teach your dog should be broken down into steps. A great example of a teachable command is having your dog get the paper in the mornings. You will need to teach him or her how to hold something first. Next, he must learn the name of the object. After that, you should teach him how to take the object in his mouth. Then, he should give it to you. Breaking a task into small steps will make the information your dog has to process much more digestible and consequently, more easily accomplished.
Pay strict attention to your body language and tone of voice anytime you are training a pet. Dogs can be very perceptive and can pick up cues from their owners about how the owner is feeling. A firm but stern tone should be enough to reinforce discipline.
Be sure to have your dog spayed or neutered at six months. You should do this at the same time you first take the dog to obedience training. A dog that has been spayed or neutered will be a more obedient dog. By spaying or neutering a dog he will have a longer happier life.
If you will be away from home for any length of time, such as going to work, then you need to make certain you take your dog on a long walk before you leave. Not only do you want your dog to relieve himself, but you also want to make him tired so he relaxes and doesnt suffer from anxiety while youre gone.
If your puppy is caught chewing on something unacceptable, stop him immediately. This will help your puppy understand what is acceptable and what is off limits.
Dogs that have trouble with separation anxiety need to develop stronger relationships with others in your household. Allowing the dog to establish relationships with new people will lessen its dependence on the owner.
A clicker works well when training most dogs. Using a clicker is as simple as showing your dog that good things happen when the clicking noise is heard. Try using this technique right away, doing it frequently over a span of a few days. Your dog will soon know that the clicking noise means that they are doing a good job.
It is hoped that you have found some guidance from these suggestions. Remember these tips as a guide to helping you train your dog, so both you and your dog will be very happy..

Puppehs in the big city!
Wash and Kat went with me to Toronto yesterday. Kat has been out and about (being my personal puppy) more than Wash has. Kat took down town Toronto in stride. All the people, streetcars, dogs noise was all for her personal amusment. Wash was less thrilled. The people were fine cars and street cars were not.
Now for those of you not in the know.. Toronto is a big city. A very big city. The heart of Toronto has 2.5 million people, and the GTA (greater toronto area) has over 5 million. Its the fifth largest municipality in North America. So when you are a little JRT puppy for the country its understandably a little overwhelming.
However treats made it all better. Now there are those who would say that feeding treats to a nervous pup will reward him for being nervous. But that would only be the case if being nervous was a conscious controllable state. Its not, Wash didnt decide "hey lets be scared of those cars" he just was. And when you started paring cars with nummy treats. Cars became a good thing, not being nervous.
Kat on the other hand had the opposite problem. It was all WOW! OMG! lookit that! Squeal like stuck pig. Pull pull, gack, pull. WOAAAAH Bark bark bark! She LOVED Toronto. I happened to have Dekkas head halter in my car that I use for close trial environs. I put in on Kat knowing it wasnt likey to shut her down much (she is pretty irrepressible). After about 2 min of trying to pull it off she pretty much forgot it was there and was back to OMG! But now when she would fixate on something I could turn her head and get her focus back, albeit for a very short time.
I am not a huge fan of head halters but this was a good case of what sort of dog they are good for. Hmmm a future post shall be on head halters I think :)

Dog Health Problems Veterinarians Will Not Tell You About
By Jay Jacovitz
If we want to avoid a dog or cat health problem and quickly get our pet health questions answered, be prepared to take an active role in avoiding dog or cat health problems with more informed communication with your veterinarian when needed. Avoiding dog and cat health problems and extending their life is not an accident. This can be accomplished by simply knowing how to examine, diagnose and often treat your pet at home.
Today there is such a manual available to effectively deal with pet health problems that can save you a tremendous amount of money while drastically improving the overall health of your pets.
In some cases, this could be a matter of life or death for your pet.
Unlike anything ever seen or available before now, veterinary doctor Andrew Jones writes without medical jargon, without complicated procedures, and without an eye on the pharmaceutical companies bottom line. With the help and guidance of this manual, all that is required is the willingness to comfort and care for your sick or injured pet so you can alleviate pain or begin treatment before you even reach your vet.
The truth is that veterinarians have STRONGLY discouraged pet owners from treating their dog and cat health problems at home. The entire pet health industry has a vested interest in discrediting alternative medicines which can safely, naturally and effectively allow pet owners to care for their pets at home.
Dr. Jones, owner of the Nelson Animal Hospital in Nelson, BC, Canada, unequivocally states: "If youre not ready to make some simple changes to the way you provide veterinary care to your pet, beginning today, your dog or cat could be seriously ill and live a shortened life. I came to realize that I and most other veterinarians are not getting it - that in the process of trying to heal pets through technological advances, we are actually making them sicker!" Dr. Jones further states: "Regular veterinary care has lost its effectiveness over the years, and in some cases is causing illness in our pets".
Veterinarians for the most part are wonderful people who want only the best for their clients and your pets that are their patients. Like in any profession, there are terrific, good, passable and poor practitioners and this has nothing to do with their personalities.
Too many pets, both dogs and cats, and their owners suffer with a health problem because they relied exclusively on their vets to receive medical care.
When a vet is the only care option for a dog or cat health problem, guardians sometimes delay bringing their pet in for treatment because the pet becomes ill "after hours".
A dog or cat may have a health problem exasperated due to exclusive reliance on harsh drug treatments because guardians (and their vets) are unaware of effective, gentle, and natural treatments; or, treatment for chronic illnesses was discontinued by the owner because it was complicated or expensive, or the guardian was unable to afford the follow-up office visits and treatment.
There are some very real and common dangers your veterinarian will not tell you about for various reasons that result in dog health problems including the fact that he or she may not even know about them. However, given the opportunity, most pet guardians would want to know all the information that affects or could affect their companions.
Would you as a pet guardian give your dog something that might cause a "side effect" health problem such as: cancerous sarcomas, autoimmune diseases of the thyroid, joints, blood, eyes, skin, kidney, liver, bowel and central nervous system, including anaphylactic shock, aggression, seizures, and epilepsy? Believe it or not, shockingly these are adverse reactions to the RABIES VACCINE, especially from unnecessary over-vaccination.
Many pet owners have no idea that numerous dog health problems are a result of rabies over-vaccination.
Vets will often give a 3-YEAR dose of the rabies vaccine once a year, although the AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) instructs them of the toxic dangers of this type of over-vaccination. Even more alarming, dogs may not need the vaccination for 5 years, and older dogs dont need it at all. You can avoid the dangers and associated health problems for your dog by asking if the rabies vaccine is a 3-year dose, which it should be. If "yes", and the vet insists on giving it annually, direct them to the AAHA website which is clear on the danger and states the extra vaccination is proven to not improve the dogs resistance to the rabies and can pose a health problem to your dog.
Certain dog health problems are caused by vets themselves, such as vaccinosis which requires hospitalization with IV fluids. The onset of vaccinosis is typically two weeks to a month following vaccinations. Symptoms that can appear in the dog include autoimmune diseases, such as irritable bowel disorders, lupus, pemphigus, hypothyroidism, chronic skin disease or allergic dermatitis.
Avoid over-immunization and you can avoid a health problem for your canine.
Have vaccine titers tested measuring the number of antibodies in your dogs bloodstream, for a particular viral disease. If the titers are adequate, no vaccine is needed. Both the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) and the AAHA now say vaccinations should be assessed yearly and tailored to an animals age, health and lifestyle.
Often misdiagnosed as a sign of older age, Cushings syndrome is another example of a dog health problem often caused by a vets medication or over-medication of cortico-steroids.
Dr. Jean Dodds, one of the worlds foremost experts in canine vaccine reactions, says: "Recent vaccinations with single or combination modified live virus (MLV) vaccines are increasingly recognized contributors to immune-mediated blood diseases, bone marrow failure, organ dysfunction and cancer". Dr. Wendell O. Belfield, author of "How to Have a Healthier Dog", further contributes that: "BHA and BHT [preservatives] are known to cause liver and kidney dysfunction and are banned in some European countries. Ethoxyquin is suspected of causing cancer, and that propylene glycol, another common pet food ingredient, causes the destruction of red blood cells."
It doesnt matter what category your pets health problem falls under.
Dr. Andrew Jones, in his manual, discusses these dog and cat health problem issues, and reveals simple secrets to safeguard your pets health. His purpose was to make available an informative manual that instructs dog and cat owners to care for and treat their pets on their own, and to help slash vet bills and even save your dog or cats life, with over 1,000 safe, natural and effective solutions and information for healing your pet. The manual may well be one of the best investments you ever make for your pets health.
To those who are truly devoted to their dogs or cats and want to give the best possible care in dealing with or avoiding health problems, the manual offers every available treatment option if your pet becomes sick. It will also help you prevent diseases so your pet is less likely to become ill and require veterinary care in the first place.

Clicker Training For Dogs
This article will cover clicker training for dogs.
1. Always Follow a Click with a Treat. Always.
Always immediately follow a click with a treat. Even if you clicked accidentally. Even if you clicked a behavior you would really rather not strengthen. Remember, the click in itself means nothing to your dog--she could care less about it. She learns to pay attention to it because it reliably predicts food. Food keeps dogs alive and consequently food does matter in its own right. Every click that’s not followed by a treat weakens the clicker’s reliability as a predictor of food. The less reliable the clicker is, the less relevant it is to your dog. And by the way, that’s not all-- a predictable, reliable world is important to animals, and there’s some evidence that dogs will check out of the training process when the demon of unreliability shows up.
3. Don’t Use the Clicker to Get Your Dog’s Attention
The clicker has one job: to tell your dog exactly what behavior is earning treats right now.
Think of the clicker as an asterisk or a spotlight, not as a remote. The clicker is for one thing and one thing only, and that is to illuminate for your dog exactly what behavior is earning treats right now. People who are new to training their dogs often notice that the click gets their dog’s attention, and then they start using the click to … get their dog’s attention. This works if you always follow the click with a treat, but it also winds up teaching the dog to do more of whatever he was doing when you tried to get his attention. Note that this is different from clicking and treating when your dog offersyou his attention in the first place
4. Teach in Small Steps
Picture the behavior you want your dog to do, and also all the steps along the way to the well-trained behavior. Work slow and steady. For instance, suppose you’re teaching your dog to stay. And say your goal is for her to lie down while you answer the door and sign for a delivery. That goal has several components, and if you pile them all up at once your dog will be in the position of a human being who’s just been plunked down in front of a piano for the first time and told to play “Rhapsody in Blue.” It ain’t happening. Teach Dogalini to lie down in the first place, then to lie down for longer and longer periods, then to lie down while you walk away from her, then to lie down while you walk toward the door, then to lie down while you open the door and talk to an imaginary person. Have a helper ring your doorbell while you reward your dog generously for lying down.
Break down behaviors into tiny steps, work on one step at a time, and make sure your dog is performing confidently and reliably at each step before you go on to the next. Trust me on this--training in tiny increments might seem laborious at first, but it works much, much better in the long run. You wind up with a dog who responds reliably to your cues instead of a dog who isn’t really sure what you’re asking her to do or why it’s worth her while to do it.
5. Use the Clicker to Teach New Behaviors
The clicker is for teaching new behaviors and refining behaviors you’ve already taught. Say Zippy lies down 95% of the time when you say “Zippy, down.” In that case you don’t need to click and treat every time he hits the floor. Start singling out stellar performances by clicking and treating only when he lies down super fast. Or when he stays lying down while you bounce a tennis ball in front of him. Or when he lies down a foot, then two feet, then five feet away from you. Eventually, when Zippy routinely drops like a stone and stays put while the Cirque du Soleil turns squirrels loose in your living room, you won’t need to click unless you decide Zip needs a refresher course for some reason.
1. Always Follow a Click with a Treat. Always.
Always immediately follow a click with a treat. Even if you clicked accidentally. Even if you clicked a behavior you would really rather not strengthen.

And by the way, that’s not all-- a predictable, reliable world is important to animals, and there’s some evidence that dogs will check out of the training process when the demon of unreliability shows up.
2. Teach Your Dog That Responding to You Is the Key to Getting Treats
Keep the treats irrelevant. That may seem a funny way of putting it, since you’re rewarding your dog with treats, but bear with me a sec. How often do you hear someone say her dog will do X only when he knows she has a treat? To avoid that problem, do two things. One, carry treats around and … don’t train. Lesson for your dog: The presence of treats does not necessarily predict an opportunity to get hold of them. Two, stash treats in sealed containers around your house or in your training area. Ask your dog to do whatever behavior you’re working on, click, and deliver a treat from your secret stash. Aha! says Dogalini. Just because my human doesn’t seem to have any treats handy doesn’t mean I can’t get a treat by doing what she asks. What does predict a chance of treats? Doing what the human asks.
Of course, it’s fine to whip out some treats in plain view of your dog and start a training session. Just be sure to mix up the scenario often enough so your dog doesn’t learn she can always and only earn treats when she sees them upfront.

6. Always Reward Your Dog’s Good Behavior
But never, ever stop rewarding. Once Dogalini has learned that “Dogalini, come!” means “Head for my human as fast as my little legs will carry me, no matter what,” we’re often tempted to take those brilliant performances for granted. Please don’t! You can save the roast chicken for those precious moments when you call Dogalini and she comes to you pronto even though Cirque de Soleil has released a dozen gymnastically trained squirrels right in front of her nose. But stay generous with the delighted happy talk, the play, and the butt scritches (or whatever your Dogalini enjoys).
so now you have sufficient information about clicker training for dogs, you should start implementing.

You can save the roast chicken for those precious moments when you call Dogalini and she comes to you pronto even though Cirque de Soleil has released a dozen gymnastically trained squirrels right in front of her nose. But stay generous with the delighted happy talk, the play, and the butt scritches (or whatever your Dogalini enjoys).
so now you have sufficient information about clicker training for dogs, you should start implementing.
What You Need To Know About Yorkshire Terrier Breeders
By Susan Bailey
Pet stores used to make their money by hoping that you are an impulse shopper. That was why there were puppies in the shop window - to break your heart and open your wallet before you realized what you were doing. Thankfully, this trend is changing, but not fast enough. There are still pet stores unscrupulous enough to sell puppies to impulse buyers, especially Yorkshire Terrier puppies. No reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder will send their puppies to a pet store!
If you dont know any basic Yorkshire Terrier information, then that would be like moving to a country where you dont speak the language or know any of the customs. After the cute stage wears off, the Yorkshire Terrier puppy often turns out to be a lot more work and a lot more money than the impulse shopper bargained for. The puppy then gets sent to an animal shelter, where he has a fifty percent chance of being euthanized.
You get many advantages by getting your Yorkie puppy from a Yorkshire Terrier breeder. You get a contract, usually with a limited health guarantee for the puppy. You get to see what conditions the puppy will grow up in. You get to see the puppys mother, which will have a lasting impact on the puppys temperament. You also get reassurance that your puppy is a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, so you know you are getting your moneys worth.
Dont just go to the first Yorkshire Terrier breeder you happen to come across. Since the Yorkshire Terrier breeder will have a profound impact on the health and training of your puppy, you want to choose the breeder as carefully as the puppy. You can find licensed Yorkshire Terrier breeders from your vet, from dog magazines, from going to dog shows and from the Internet. You can also ask the American Kennel Club for any help.
You also are free to ask a lot of questions to a good Yorkshire Terrier breeder that you just cant ask a pet store clerk. You get access to years of experience living and training all kinds of Yorkies. A good Yorkshire Terrier breeder will be a bit possessive about their puppies. The money is not that important to them (although they will expect you to pay when promised). They want to be sure their "babies" will not end up abandoned or abused. And, unlike pet store puppies, you usually get to see the parents and the parents health certificates.
Take your time finding the right Yorkshire Terrier breeder that you can get along with and has the dogs you can get along with. You can find them from the American Kennel Club, from the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, any proud Yorkie owners where you live, your vet or your local animal shelter. You can also look on the Internet for Yorkshire Terrier rescue groups which will have older puppies as well as adults.
Susan Bailey loves everything having to do with dogs, including Yorkshire Terrier history. The Yorkshire Terrier was a much larger breed in the beginning. This author is currently writing a series of articles containing Yorkshire Terrier information for interested readers.

Teach Your Dog To Mind With These Training Tips
Perhaps you are starting to wonder why you wanted a dog in the first place after a few incidents. You can tackle these behavior issues and train your dog to behave.
Communication is vital when training your dog. You should be as clear as possible, as well as consistent, when you are training your dog. This includes both your spoken words and body language. Your choice of rewards and punishments should also remain consistent. Pay attention to any cues that your dog gives you, as well. When you look closely, you will be able to tell whether your dog is still receptive to training or getting too tired to continue.
Fear biting has caused the majority of dog bites. The dog will feel fear if it is startled, trapped or feels threatened. Using fear tactics are never a smart way to train a dog. This makes your dog more likely to bite. Your dog will be eager for your approval.
Use a phrase on your puppy to house train him. Every single time you take your pup to do his business, say something like "need to go out?". It does not matter the phrase you choose, as long as you keep it consistent. This will keep him focused, and will teach him to associate those words with the action of relieving himself.
When training your puppy stay away from tug of war style play. By playing these games, you are encouraging the dog to bite at your hands. Dont let them get in the habit of doing so. When they are more well-trained, you can add these kinds of games into the mix.
If you want to train your dog the right way, consider enrolling in an obedience class. The instructor can give you ideas about how to handle problems like not listening, and excessive barking.
Use your dogs name all the time, this will help focus him. Call your dog by name as much as possible when you are first getting to know your pup; this will establish a connection between hearing the name and giving positive attention to the speaker. Pick a name that is distinguished and no longer than two syllables.
A variety of rewards, such as treats, praise and toys keep your dog interested in pleasing you. Get treats that your dog will want more than the normal treats they get every day. These unique treats will make them more eager to perform well in training.
Try using a crate if youre house training a dog. Let the dog out on a regular schedule to make the crate training most effective. A dog trained in a create will have less accidents with time.
Expect the occasional setback when you are training your dog, but dont give up! Your canine will need to constantly be reinforced, or what you teach them can be forgotten. You always need to keep training your dog, just like you need to continue feeding it and providing it shelter.
It is crucial that everyone who interacts with your dog uses the exact same command phrases as you do. If your dog jumps on the couch and you say "get off," but your husband uses "down boy", it will confuse your dog. If everyone uses identical commands, the dog will learn much faster and you will have greater success.
Although lots of breeds get along with other dogs in training, whether or not you can train your dogs together is really up to their individual personalities. If you notice a lack of concentration during training, you may have to separate them out, and try to return to training them together later.
Many canine behaviors are instinctual, so provide appropriate outlets for each of your dogs needs. Dogs need to eat well, a spacious run, and lots of toys and interesting things to occupy their time.
Keep your dog on a healthy diet. Your dog will not benefit from a poor diet. Without proper nutrition, your dog can suffer both physically and behaviorally. A proper diet can affect how well they react to training.
Start prepping your puppy for training by rewarding his good choices. It is easier to teach a dog good habits right from the start, rather than trying to break bad habits that have already been learned. Giving your dog scraps from the table is just training the dog that begging gets results, so dont do it!
Harnesses tend to be more comfy for your dog, but they also tend to provide you with less control over them. Using a cinching collar would be a better choice. If you want to use both, you can put the dog in a harness and collar. Then tug the collar when your dog disobeys you. This helps the dog understand that he needs to obey you when in the harness as well.
A lot of pet owners are pleasantly surprised how canine behavior training can fit seamlessly into their lives and just how soon they can see positive effects. So if your dogs relationship with you seems strained, try using these tips.

Dog Behavior Training Product Review
Dog Behavior Training - Editors Note
Professional Dog Trainer Adam Katz covers all the areas of dog behavior training in his ebook Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!
Heres two of many satisfied customers who got great results from using the dog behavior training techniques Adam teaches.
-- Dick Colman
Hi Adam,
I havent had a dog for 25 years, so when I decided my current lifestyle would finally make it doable, I decided to do some research to make sure I was starting out on the right foot.
(Lots of methods have changed since I last had a dog and I wanted to be current.) So months before my puppy (a Coton named "Aldo") was even a twinkle in his moms eye I discovered and downloaded your book.
Since then I have re-read it and referred to it on numerous occasions. Although I have also read and used a few other books this is the one I always go to first. And I always read your regular newsletter.
I started working with Aldo from day one 8 months ago as a 12 week old puppy, even learning to heel, and he learned everything very quickly, some things faster than others. (It was also helpful that this particular breed produces a lively but mellow and attentive dog.)
I would work with him for short periods several times a day - sometimes just a few minutes, other times as long as 10 minutes - wherever I could fit it in....
(read the complete review on Adams dog behavior training website)
-- Meg Sterns, Dog Owner
Logan always use to pull me on my walks and I just hated it. He would not give me attention if his life depended on it. Well I finally decided that his "life did depend on it".
I dont mean that in a "put him to sleep" way, what I meant was that if a dangerous situation came upon us and he was not willing to provide me with the attention - or should I say respect, that I needed, then something disasterous wouldhappen.
Well Logan is such a wonderful and obedient dog. We used the remote collar for his recalls and I can say without a doubt, that Logans recalls are 100% solid. He now provides me with the attention that I need when walking him.
We are competing competitively in obedience and at a recent fun match, Logan received High in Trial (11 dogs entered in total). So you can only imagine how pleased I am for both myself and Logan.
It was very important for me to ensure that Logan is a well behaved and well socialized Rottweiler. He is a 2 1/2 yr. old intact male so again you can see why it is very important that I am the driver in this car and that Logan is the passenger.
Logan is an extremely high drive and well accomplished young man....
-- Gwen Haynes, Dog Owner
P.S. My professional handler on Logan also thanks you. He not only listens to me but to any one that handles him now - it was the excellent foundation training that Logan received that enables him to be passed to anyone and he will listen and respect them.
I am attaching a couple of pics. of Logan doing his obedience work with me. Just look at the attention I am getting from him. He wont take his eyes off of me !!!

Barking Dog Find Out Whats Causing It
Why is my dog a barking dog?
Babies cry, dogs bark. It is their way of communicating to us their needs and wants. Babies cry when they are lonely, sad, hungry, bored, sick or when their diaper need to be changed. Dogs will bark for many of these same reasons, well, with the exception of the whole diaper thing. But they may bark when they need to go out. Learning the meaning of your dogs bark takes time, but eventually you will begin to develop an understanding of what your barking dog is trying to tell you.
To understand why your dog barks, you have to run through a mental list of what your dog is telling you. Is your dog hungry or hurt? Are they in need of a walk? Are they trying to announce a visitor or worse an intruder?
The first thing to realize is that dogs do not bark for no reason. Barking is a dog behavior that at times may seem unrelated to anything, but the truth is when a dog barks there is always a purpose and a reason.
Often times your dog will actually point with his or her nose in the direction of what is so concerning him or her. If you are studying the dogs behavior you will notice this is often their way of communicating. If your dog starts non-stop barking this means that your dog has a need that is not being met. Be sure to watch their other means of expression and communication in hopes to determine what exactly it is that they need. Some barking requires meeting easy needs like providing water, food, or simply a visit outside. . There are other reasons for barking behavior such as separation anxiety, fear, or dominance issues that are more complex. While these situations require more attention, time and specific training, it is very important to address this barking as overlooking it could potentially progress to aggression or destructive behavior.
Once you understand the reason for your dogs bark then you will be able to fulfill or correct the behavior
Barking dogs not only act similar to crying babies, they can also act like a defiant teenager. If your dog barks back at you after being disciplined, you have a "typical teen" on your hands. This dog is in need of a refresher on who is the boss or alpha.
Regardless of what your barking dog is trying to convey to you, it is always important to remain patient. Remember, your dogs goal is to please you and at times they are just trying to express their needs and wants.

Arthritis Supplements For Dogs
There are many arthritis supplements for dogs on the market today. Many claim they can help and even cure arthritis in dogs. Supplements are a wonderful addition to helping a dog with arthritis, but they are not a cure all. The first step is to get your dog in to the best of health. Here are a few tips...
Before starting any supplements, make sure you have your dog on a good holistic food. Improper nutrition is one of the leading causes of many diseases in dogs including arthritis. Many dog foods on the market today are filled with inferior ingredients and by-products, such as... chicken feet, chicken heads, etc... things that you would not knowingly feed your dog. So if you see the word by-product, dont buy the food!
Look for a food with quality protein like chicken meal. Make sure you also stay away from any food that has corn, wheat, soy, wheat gluten or milk products in it. These ingredients have no nutritional value and are generally only used as a cheap filler. They can also contribute to allergies in dogs. So remember, dont underestimate the power of a good quality dog food! It can do miracles...
Besides good quality dog food, make sure they are getting plenty of exercise. Exercise is key in maintaining their health and helping with arthritis symptoms.
When a quality dog food has been started and you have your dog on a good exercise schedule, THEN add a high quality, natural supplement to their diet. When choosing a supplement make sure it is all natural and has glucosamine and MSM in it.
Research studies suggest that Glucosamine supports healthy joint flexibility, mobility and lubrication. MSM, which is short for Methylsulfonylmethane, is a natural source of organic sulfur, an element vital to the maintenance of healthy joints, bones, ligaments and tendons.
Also look for arthritis supplements that have high levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids derived from fish oil. Fish oil is known to help improve healthy joint function.
So remember... quality food, plenty of exercise and supplementation all work together to get your dog in the best of health. Theyll love ya for it!

How To Crate Train Your Dog
Crate training is a method of house training your puppy or dog. The crate is used to keep your dog confined when you are not able to supervise him. Since most dogs will not go to the bathroom in the same place they sleep, your dog will most likely try to hold it when he is confined to his crate. This prevents him from getting in the bad habit of having accidents in your home. This article will covr the issue related to how to crate train your dog.
Heres how to crate train your dog:
Choose a Crate for Your Dog
The first answer to how to crate train your dog should be choosing a crate. There are several different types of cratesto choose from, including a wire cage, a plastic pet carrier, and a soft-sided canvas or nylon crate. The wire crate is the most commonly used. It allows your dog to see what is going on around him, and many have an extra panel which allows you to make the crate bigger or smaller depending on the size of your dog. This type of crate is collapsible, and it has a sliding tray in the floor which makes it easy to clean.
The plastic pet carrier is also a good option for crate training. This is the kind you most often see used for airline travel. The drawback to this kind of crate is that it is enclosed on three sides, so it does not let in as much light as a wire crate. It is also a little harder to clean.
The soft-sided crates are a good option for dogs who are not big chewers. These are lightweight, so they are great to carry along when you are traveling with your dog. The problem with the soft-sided crates is that a dog who likes to chew or scratch at the sides will be able to break out. It is not a good choice for young puppies.
Whichever type of crate you choose to use, size is important. The crate should not be too large. You want your dog to have enough room to lie down comfortably and turn around. If the crate is too big, your dog may use one area of the crate to sleep and another spot to eliminate. Many of the wire crates are sold with a divider. This is perfect if you are crate training a growing puppy. The divider allows you to confine your puppy to a small area of the crate, and then make the crate larger as your puppy grows.

If the crate is too big, your dog may use one area of the crate to sleep and another spot to eliminate. Many of the wire crates are sold with a divider. This is perfect if you are crate training a growing puppy. The divider allows you to confine your puppy to a small area of the crate, and then make the crate larger as your puppy grows.
Introduce Your Dog to the Crate
Crate training should be kept very positive. Introduce your puppy or adult dog to the crate slowly. Put something soft in the bottom of the crate, along with some of your dogs toys. Throw some treats inside. Let your dog explore the crate at his own pace without forcing him to go inside. Praise him and give him a treat when he goes in on his own. Until he seems comfortable with his crate, keep the door open and let your dog wander in and out as he wishes.

Confining Your Dog in the Crate
Once your dog is comfortable going in and out of the crate, it is time to start getting him used to being confined. Throw some treats in the crate, and once your dog is inside, close the door. Wait a minute or so, and as long as your dog is quiet, let him out of the crate. Slowly extend the amount of time you leave your dog in the crate while you are at home until he is comfortable being confined in the crate for up to an hour or more.
Once your dog is comfortable with being confined, begin to get him used to be left alone while in his crate. When he is calm in his crate, step out of the room for a few minutes and then step back in. Gradually build up the amount of time you are out of the room until your dog or puppy is comfortable being left alone in his crate for an hour or more.

The "Donts" of Crate Training
There are a few simple rules to keep in mind to make crate training successful. First, never use your dogs crate to punish him. Your dog should consider his crate a happy, comfortable, and safe place. If you use his crate to punish your dog, chances are he will be fearful and anxious when left in it.
It is also important that you never let your dog out of the crate while he is whining or barking. He should be completely calm before you release him. Opening the crate while he is barking or whining simply teaches him that if he makes enough noise, he will be let out. Making this mistake can lead to many sleepless nights as you wait for your puppy to settle down.
Finally, never leave your dog crated for longer than he is physically able to hold his bladder or bowels. You cannot expect the impossible. Puppies can usually hold it for no more than 3-4 hours. An adult dog who has never been house trained should also not be left for longer than 3-4 hours. Older dogs may be able to hold it a little longer. Dogs should not be left crated for more than this length of time without being taken out for exercise, playtime, and time to cuddle with you.

Is Crate Training Cruel?
Many people are concerned about whether its cruel to leave their dog in a cage for any amount of time. Most dog trainers agree that it is no crueler to leave your dog in a crate than it is to leave a baby in a playpen or crib. Crates allow dog owners the peace of mind of knowing their dog is safe when they are not there to supervise.
Also, dogs are known to be den animals. They like having a safe and secure place to call their own. If crate training is done correctly, crates can provide this safe haven. Dog owners often report that their dogs continue to seek out their crates long after house training has been accomplished. For others, once the dog is able to be left alone for several hours without having an accident or becoming destructive, they stop using the crate and allow their dogs free run of their homes while they are out.
So now you already have sufficient knowledge related to how to crate train your dog, it is time to enjoy with your puppies.
