			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A dog is considered mans best friend, but one that does not listen is no ones friend. As dogs get older the chances of them listening gets smaller and smaller. This is why dog training should be a very big part of your pets life very early. Here are some things you should know about dog training that will help you and that new pet work together as one.</p>
<p>One of the things to remember about a pet is the earlier you start training the better chance you will have for success. Dogs can get set in their ways very quickly and unless you start training right away problems could result. Always remember to get your dog to listen you must start training as early as possible.</p>
<p>When the pet you own does something good or accomplishes a part of their training reward them. The reward system shows them they did well. Over time this reward system will help speed up dog training and get your pet to where you want them to be. Never reward a pet for bad behavior as those habits are tough to break. Once you start rewards for bad behavior the results will be tough to reverse.</p>
<p>Energy is something pets may have a lot sometimes. If your dog is locked in your home or apartment be prepared for all the energy they may have. They will need to release it and there are several ways to get this done. Take them to the park or on long walks and incorporate training along the way. It will also give you some time to bond with your animal as well.</p>
<p>Dog training is something that you must work on a consistent basis. Part-time training will just give you part-time results. Having a schedule and following it is the best idea. Dogs take better to training that is done on a consistent basis and better results will happen. Make a schedule that is easy for you and your pet to follow to see maximum results from your training.</p>
<p>Do not have multiple people trying to train your dog. This confuses your dog and the chances for success will go way down. They will not know who to listen to, and the chances of the training taking hold also are not very good.</p>
<p>Yelling or beating the dog is something you must avoid at all times. Many people think that yelling at a dog will work, but that is just not the truth. Just like anyone else, yelling really does not accomplish anything. Working and praising your pet will get you much further than berating your dog or puppy.</p>
<p><a target='_blank' href="http://www.custom-canine.com">Force free training Newmarket</a> is something that takes time and you must understand that. The key is too not give up even if you do not see success right away. Each dog learns at their own pace. Some will grasp it very quickly, while others it could take some time. The key is you must not become frustrated with the results of your pets failures. Keeping plugging away and success will come to you and your pet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Training dogs is a profession any loving dog owner can take up on his own pet. If you are one of them and have been deterred by well meaning friends and relatives have probably failed themselves; don?t lose hope. It may be that wrong techniques have been used, teaching has not been consistent, or patience just ran out. There are times that dog training will severely test the affinity you have for your dog&#8211; but this comes with equally rewarding results. You will have a better relationship with your pet and your home will be cleaner too.</p>
<p>To be an effective instructor of these dog training tips, let us take a look into the average dog?s uncomplicated mind. While we human beings are intelligent creatures, our dogs are several levels lower. Human beings can understand through logic and general assumptions. Dogs can only get their owner?s expressed wish through a pattern of consistent commands and repetitive actions. For example, to us ?Let?s go boy!? and ?Come!? and ?Come here boy!? all mean the same thing but not with dogs. Even if he does approach you eventually, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean he comprehends you.</p>
<p>You need to be consistent and repetitive in teaching your dogs. Use the exact word or phrase each time you give a command.</p>
<p><center><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fmph-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=15&#038;l=st1&#038;mode=dvd&#038;search=dog%20training&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lt1=&#038;lc1=3366FF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="468" height="240" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe></center></p>
<p>A healthy and successful relationship with your dog starts with the establishment of your authority over him as his master. Be firm and strong when you deal with him, never harsh and violent. Once the dog understands this, he will seek to be a &#8216;good boy&#8217; and obey commands promptly if he knows this pleases you.</p>
<p>Rubbing the dog?s belly is a good strategy in enforcing your authority. It teaches him submission by allowing him to lick the back of your hand. Never concede to his growling and whining just to keep him quiet. It is imperative that you establish habits that lead to good behavior the earlier the better.</p>
<p>An effective trick experts use is to allow the dog to learn by teaching himself. What do I mean? Let&#8217;s say, your dog is chewing on something he isn&#8217;t supposed to be chewing. You can scold him and take away the object immediately. This is a common canine training method. A better way is to take away bad behavior is through substituting it with a good one by giving unpleasant sensations with the incorrect behavior.</p>
<p>When the dog chews on a shoe, use a quick sharp squirt of a water gun to his face. If he resumes chewing, squirt him again. Now place one of his playthings in front of him. If he picks it up and plays with it, praise him enthusiastically. The dog will associate good feelings with playing with his toy and bad feelings when playing with the shoe.</p>
<p>Dog socialization in an important but often overlooked area of dog training. Developing social skills should start within three months of the puppy&#8217;s life. However, it would be good to have even older dogs socialize with people and other dogs regularly. Put socialization high up in the training priority list by introducing him to different kinds of people and animals (make sure they&#8217;re healthy) throughout his life.</p>
<p>As any parent would know, you discipline that which you love and care for. The dog training tips as outlined above will greatly help your dogs become the happier, best version of themselves. Nobody said it would be easy, but it will always be worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you first bring your puppy home, you just want to spoil it and play with it all the time. But there are times when your puppy&#8217;s enthusiasm and energy can sometimes be annoying or downright destructive. That is why puppy crate training can be a great way to getting your pup to grow up happy and healthy.</p>
<p>Before you even bring your dog home, choose a crate that will suit your pup&#8217;s size and how much they will grow. Make sure that the dog&#8217;s crate is large enough. That means that you need to ensure that your dog has the room to turn around and get comfortable in their crate. Always put a blanket or towel in, preferably something that has your scent which will calm the dog when they are feeling anxious.</p>
<p>Before you bring your puppy home for the first time, think through which rooms you would like to introduce your dog to first. Choose a room that has little that can be damaged, and a place where the dog can see you while it explores the area. Be sure to put the crate in that room, and let the pup explore while you watch and reassure them. Keep the crate door open, and put a blanket or towel in it that has your scent (sleep in it or rub it all over your body). This will make the dog associate the crate with you, warmth, happiness and comfort.</p>
<p>Crates are made of all kinds of materials. If your dog is a chewer, you will not want something made of a plastic or polymer. Choose wire frame crates for your chewer. If they are skilled escape artists, find a crate that has locking latches or latches that require two hands to open.</p>
<p>A benefit of crate training is that you have a safe place to put your pup while you are away. When you first start doing this, leave for no more than an hour or two at a time. This will reduce your puppy&#8217;s anxiety and help them feel happy. Once your dog has gotten used to you being away for an hour or two at a time, you can start to leave it&#8217;s crate door open and come and go without worry of returning to a disaster.</p>
<p>Your dog&#8217;s crate can be used as a way to discourage other bad behaviour. Is constant barking a problem? Put your dog into its crate for a short time out. Has the dog left you a nasty surprise in your shoes? If you have caught them in the act, rub their nose in it and then send them for a time out.</p>
<p>However, one of the greatest benefits of using a crate is simply this: when your dog has its &#8220;den&#8221;, it will always feel safe no matter where it is. You can even travel with a crate. And when the dog sleeps in its den at night, you can have a good nights&#8217; sleep rather than fighting over the sheets. This will help your dog be a happy dog, secure in the knowledge that the big dog cares about it and that it has a safe place to go no matter when.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you are thinking about buying a puppy and taking it home to become your new best friend, don&#8217;t expect your dog to obey all your instructions from day one. You will need to teach it slowly and avoid any form of physical punishment when doing so.</p>
<p>Becoming abusive with your puppy will do nothing but have an adverse effect in the relationship as time goes on between you and your pet.</p>
<p>Baby dogs just don&#8217;t know how to respond or what to do when you physically punish them, even lightly. It doesn&#8217;t know what you want and when you do this, you are not only hurting your little puppy but also training it to fear you. This is not the effect you want I&#8217;m sure.</p>
<p>Similar to babies, pups just do not know what you mean when you whip or hit your dog. Even though it might be doing something that you&#8217;re unhappy with, it doesn&#8217;t know that. What it knows however, is to associate pain and fear when it sees you coming its way.</p>
<p>Dog owners who smack their puppies constantly end up with adult dogs who are rebellious and unfriendly. Not only that but the dogs tend to not trust their masters either, keeping their distance whenever possible. This is not the kind of relationship you want to start off with.</p>
<p>Shouting can also be terrifying for a puppy. While you think that shouting will cause no harm, the consequences are the same as hitting, and your dog will not trust you as much.</p>
<p>Instead of yelling at it to stop doing something, look your dog in the eyes, tell it in a firm voice to &#8221; stop &#8221; then physically remove it from its present location.</p>
<p>Hopefully this guide has helped you understand your new best friend a little better. The best way to deal with misbehaved puppies is through non-physical authority, and a lot of persistence and patience.</p>
<p>In the event that you found this article useful, you might want to view the different types of pet-related articles by the same writer. The latest pages covers fashion intended for puppies for example a <a href="http://www.dogpajamas.org/dog-parka.html">neoprene dog parka</a> and also the <a href="http://www.dogpajamas.org/dog-bandana.html">dog bandana</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love German Shepherds and if you are a first time dog owner, it is important for you to know having (and raising) a puppy is a long term commitment. If you decide a shepherd would be a great addition to your family, you will truly be getting a great dog. Not only are they, loyal and protective, but highly intelligent dogs as well. If you have a German Shepherd puppy, it is important to get him involved in training now.</p>
<p>Training helps your puppy make that smooth transition into adulthood, and have the best possible relationship with your family as possible. I have seen plenty of dog owners cry over shoes and irreplaceable items that have been torn to shreds because in their puppy&#8217;s mind, no rules or boundaries were established. Training not only helps your puppy understand what is and is not acceptable behavior, but the time you spend bonding with your puppy helps prepare him to become a better family member and companion.</p>
<p>It is important to make sure your puppy has lots of contact with people and other dogs. Keep in mind, as an intelligent as this breed is, it is important to keep your German Shepherd mentally and physically sharp, they can&#8217;t stand laying around all day being bored.</p>
<p>Remember your puppy will soon grow up to be a big strong dog, so you want to make sure he is obedient and you are able to control him. If can you do this you will see a loyal and compliant dog.</p>
<p>If you have enough money to take your puppy to a trainer, I think it is a good idea you do so. However, with the economy today, a professional trainer can be out of most people&#8217;s budget. If you don&#8217;t have the money to spend and want to train your puppy from the comfort of your home, it can be successfully done.</p>
<p>One of the best methods to use (in addition to positive reinforcement) is clicker training. The clicker is the device used (that sounds kind of like snapping your fingers) while you train your dog. When your puppy successfully performs the action you want him to, you click the clicker and follow that with praise and a treat. Soon, your puppy with be easily following the new commands and learn to associate the click with a job well done.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have a German Shepherd puppy, or adult dog, at any age they seem to do well with the clicker training method and the clicker training course is one of the best training programs you can buy.</p>
<p>Make sure you find a good <a href="http://doggieworld.info">German Shepherd puppy training class</a>. If you want to train your dog at home and save a bunch of money, you have to check out the Secrets to Dog Training <a href="http://doggieworld.info">German Shepherd Puppy Training program</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know the definition of &#8216;The Honeymoon Period&#8217; accustomed to describe the initial, deliriously happy months of a relationship. Most people are on their finest behavior and feeling giddy and positive regarding the future. Regrettably, these times of what appears to be limitless joy generally wraps up.</p>
<p>An identical, albeit generally much smaller, vacation period is usually felt by new pet parents. Even though, unlike people in a new relationship, I don&#8217;t think the dog or puppy is on its best behavior with the knowing that they&#8217;re going to begin a new, hopefully long-term relationship. Rather, several dogs are in a situation of serious adjustment to what&#8217;s a totally new world.</p>
<p>A new environment, sights, sounds, people and perhaps other animals may result in a dog type of turning down a bit (or a lot!) because they take in all this new information and attempt to discover their place in the world. This is related to a person being plopped down in a new country. It might seem easy to understand that they may take several days or weeks to calmly notice and figure things out.</p>
<p>Lots of people end up calling a dog trainer for aid only after weeks or months have passed using their new dog inside their home. Initially they put off calling because there does not appear to be a necessity. Their new dog is kind of calm, passive, and quiet. However, as the dog becomes modified and more secure their true personality shines through. With it usually comes a list of what, to their new family anyway, appear to be new behaviors (this could be excessive barking, inappropriate chewing, growling when food or toys are taken away).</p>
<p>The behaviors are not really new to the dog; they&#8217;re just new to the dog in its new home. When these behaviors learn to show themselves, everyone is usually captured off guard. Therefore, they might in the beginning assume that these things are just a few time mistakes and the dog will go back to their &#8216;normal&#8217; behavior soon without intervention on their part.</p>

<p>When you decide to get your pet his own dog bed there are a few things to take into consideration before making your purchase. Let&#8217;s look at a few of these things.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t be quite as simple as heading down to the closest pet shop and grabbing the first bed you see. With the huge variety in specialty pet beds, you will want to decide what type you want before you shop.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really important to find a dog bed that is large enough for your pooch. Ideally you will want to get a bed that will fit your dog&#8217;s size. Just as there are large and small dogs, there are large and small beds. If your dog is a larger breed for example, he will be uncomfortable trying to squeeze onto a bed that is too small.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not as much of an issue if you own a smaller dog and decide to get him a larger bed so he has lots of room. Some breeds though prefer sleeping quarters that just fit. The exception is for puppies. Here you will want to get a bed that will be large enough when he is full grown.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is the material that the bed is made with. You can get them made out of everything from denim to fleece and many other types of heavier duty covering material.</p>
<p>When you choose a fabric for your pet&#8217;s bed, think about his breed, the climate you live in, and where you will locate the bed. Larger breed dogs or those with heavy coats will find cotton or canvas to be cooler to lie on. Short haired or smaller dogs may find a material such as fleece to feel warmer.</p>
<p>If the bed is mainly for your pup to use outside, then fabric choice is especially important. This is not as much of an issue for beds used mostly indoors. But for inside beds, the temperature where the bed will be located should also be considered.</p>
<p>You will also want to choose a bed that fits the available space. If your dog sleeps in a crate, choose a crate style bed for the best fit. On the other hand, if space is limited, you may want to choose a corner style bed.</p>
<p>Regardless of the type of bed you choose, washable dog beds are probably the best option. If the bed itself is not washable, be sure to get a machine washable bed cover for it. That way, you can remove and wash it, to get rid of dirt, fur, and odors.</p>
<p>Last but certainly not least is to keep in mind the age and overall health of your beloved pet. For younger active dogs, a bed should have a good amount of high quality foam, so the bed maintains its shape and density.</p>
<p>A high quality dog bed is most important for pets that have joint pain, whether as a result of a deteriorating joint or simply old age. Your best option is probably orthopedic dog beds which are manufactured using high density foam similar to that used in orthopedic beds for people. It provides additional joint support so may give your dog some pain relief. Your pet will find it easier to get up from an orthopedic bed because less stress is put on his joints.</p>
<p>There you have it; some of the things to look for when choosing a bed for your dog. By choosing the right dog bed for your furry friend, you can be sure he will spend long hours content and comfortable on his own bed.</p>
<p>As a dog lover, Chris is always looking for ways to keep the family pet happy. A comfortable bed is a must.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Description: Golden Retriever is a sturdy, muscular, athletic dog first developed to be used for hunting. The dog must be between 22 and 24 inches at the withers and weighs 65-75 pounds.</p>
<p>The height of the dog must be 20-22 inches and weighs 55-65 pounds. The coat of the Golden Retriever may be either wavy or straight, medium length. There is an undercoat, and as the coat is water resistant. The coat color varies in different shades of beige, very light to dark.</p>
<p>History: Lord TWEEDMOUTH is primarily responsible for the development of the breed golden retriever. I wanted the dogs, who are able to hunt in the wild in the countryside in Scotland.</p>
<p>While Lord Tweedmouth wanted a dog that would be even more durable and vigorous than those available, he wanted to be sure that the new breed would be easily trained and have a good disposition. To begin with, he bred two dogs, the &#8220;Yellow Retriever&#8221; and the extinct Tweed Water Spaniel. Crossing the offspring with the Bloodhound, Irish Setter, and Tweed Water Spaniel again resulted in the Golden Retriever.</p>
<p>Character: Gold is not only famous for his intelligence and education, but also for his extreme good nature. Golden Retriever dog is not connected to a person, usually kind and friendly to almost everyone.</p>
<p>These dogs are very good with children, but it is sometimes said that the golden retriever is protected by friends of a young man. Ease of training and provide a wonderful dog is a good guide or service dogs for people with disabilities.</p>
<p>Grooming: medium to long hair, gold is easy to maintain. Daily brushing will help control shedding, which occurs throughout the year. Get rid of the heaviest in the spring. The holder may also be used dry shampoo is a dog, if desired. It is best not to bathe the dog unless it is absolutely necessary.</p>
<p>Living Conditions: The Golden Retriever is able to live outside, but should not be left outdoor during the winter, unless living in a warmer climate. The dog will be happy in an apartment as long as it receives adequate exercise. The best way to prevent undesirable behavior in your Golden is to make sure the dog has a long run or walk every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History: Settlers on the isle of Newfoundland, Canada, are responsible for helping to develop the Labrador breed. The progenitor of the Labrador Retriever was the St. John&#8217;s Water Dog, which also gave rise to the Newfoundland.</p>
<p>The dog is strongly muscled with a powerful jaw, but is renowned for its delicacy in carrying objects in its mouth. The male dog should be between 22 &#8221; to 24 &#8221; at the withers, with the bitch an inch less in both measurements.</p>
<p>Description: The Labrador Retriever is a sturdily built, medium to large sized dog used primarily for hunting and as a companion. The dog is strongly muscled with a powerful jaw, but is renowned for its delicacy in carrying objects in its mouth.</p>
<p>History: Settlers on the isle of Newfoundland, Canada, are responsible for helping to develop the Labrador breed. The progenitor of the Labrador Retriever was the St. John&#8217;s Water Dog, which also gave rise to the Newfoundland. The St. John&#8217;s Water Dog was used by fishermen on the island to help bring in their nets. The Lab is considered one of the more popular dog breeds in all the world.</p>
<p>History: Settlers on the isle of Newfoundland, Canada, are responsible for helping to develop the Labrador breed. The progenitor of the Labrador Retriever was the St. John&#8217;s Water Dog, which also gave rise to the Newfoundland.</p>
<p>The St. John&#8217;s Water Dog was used by fishermen on the island to help bring in their nets. The St. John&#8217;s Water Dog was taken to England in the 1800s, but it was not until later that the Labrador breed began to emerge on its own. This is due mostly to the fact that the Earls of Malmesbury worked to refine the breed and promote it.</p>
<p>Because of their efforts, the Labrador Retriever won recognition as a separate breed in the late 19th century. The Lab is considered one of the more popular dog breeds in all the world.</p>
