Have A Happy Puppy Or Dog With These Ideas.
1. Have A Happy Puppy Or Dog With These Ideas.
Isn't owning a dog great? Dogs are one of the most fun pets for children and adults. Dogs are loving,
loyal and enjoy having a good time. In short - they are wonderful companions. Your dog could be a
great addition to your family if you take the time to train it properly. These tips will assist in your
troubles.
Give your dog hugs, but don't kiss him. Dogs are prone to tartar build up and cavities just like
people. Dogs poke around trash cans, love smelling and licking other dogs' body parts and
enthusiastically drink from toilet bowls. It's an old wives tale that your dog's mouth happens to be
cleaner that a human being. Definitely do not believe that!
Always, have your dog spayed or neutered. Research suggests that this small thing can give
extended life to your dog by reducing cancer risk. In addition, dogs that are spayed or neutered do
not have as strong of a desire to wander from their home, meaning that they are less likely to get
lost or hit by a car.
If your dog is coming along on a family vacation, keep a picture of him handy or take one using your
phone. If the worst happens and your pet gets lost, you have a current picture that you can show
others or use to make "lost" posters.
Train your dog indoors or in the backyard. Training a dog in a very populated area is never a good
idea. Distraction ensues, and it is harder to get your dog to focus on basic commands.
If you have a dog that does something right, like sitting when you're getting out the leash, you
should give the animal lots of praise and affection. You need your dog to realize that you're proud of
their behavior and want to see it more often. This shows your pup that when things are done right,
he will be rewarded.
Avoid the bargain brands of pet food. Cheaper brands usually contain lots of additives and
preservatives that can harm your dog's health. Contact an animal advocacy group about which foods
are best for your dog. Your dog will benefit greatly from better food.
If your dog needs to be outside during cold months, buy him a house or build him one. If his feet are
wet, extreme temperatures can be stressful and bad for his health. Keep your dog safe from the
elements by providing shelter.
Do not overlook your dog's bad behavior. If you ignore any issue with your pet then later on it's
going to be harder to train it to obey because it doesn't know any better. You need to make sure your
dog is happy to keep them in control and so he does not hurt anyone.
Properly teach your dog how to walk with http://facts.randomhistory.com/2009/02/15_dogs.html a
leash. He should know the "heel" command, stay close to you and not veer far ahead or drag behind.
This will ensure that your pet is not too far ahead or behind you. This command will be very useful if
you walk your dog while keeping the leash very loose.
If you've been considering adopting a dog but still aren't sure, you could try to become a foster
owner first. There are many animals who need a temporary home until they are adopted. You can
give one a home for a while to help the cause and you can also keep it if you like it!
2. Even if you are looking for a dog that is a pure breed, always check the local pound. Many pet
owners abandon their dogs at the pound when they no longer want to, or are able to, keep them.
Contact the pound in your area to see what kinds of breeds they have at the time. You may get to
save a canine's life if you do this!
Let your dog feel the love that you have for him. As is often the case, dog owners frequently focus on
bad behavior instead of good. This causes problems with dog behavior. Instead, make sure you pet
or praise your dog five times more often than you scold him. This increases the chance that your dog
will repeat the good behavior rather than the bad.
Ensure that your dog will come back after being lost by having some type of identification tag. A
collar with identification is a great way to ensure that your dog is found and returned if it happens to
get lost. Include your dog's name and information on how to contact you. It is also possible to get
your dog micro-chipped.
Just as your dog is a great companion to you, you must be a great companion to him/her. Use these
tips to care for your dog better. The article above surely has shown you how to have a wonderful life
with the best friend of your life, your new wonderful dog.
