This has to be one of the most annoying things about a dog that is not properly trained. You and your dog are just sitting there, and one of your friends or family members walk through the door, and you dog runs over there and starts jumping up and down on them.
Now if they are kids they are probably going to like it and praise the dog, which will actually make matters worst as he will think that by jumping on people that walk through the door the dog is going to get special attention. Well with way he is. Think about it. The easiest way to stop dog jumping, is simply to ignore the dog when you walk in through the door. [click to continue…]

If you are a dog owner, then you will surely have to take up some level of dog training sooner or later. Believe me, the sooner the better, as the faster you train your puppy or your dog, the happier both of you are going to be. If a dog is not trained at all, then how is he going to know when and where to go to the bathroom, what not to chew, why they shouldn’t jump on everyone that walks through the door, along with many other things that have to deal with dog obedience.
Several dog owners are unaware of the levels of dog training that there are, and these types of training often have to do with what stage of development that the dog is going through. [click to continue…]

This is the first step in dog training, the house breaking part, and guess what, if you just got a puppy, the puppy is going to pee inside of your home, on the carpet, maybe even on the sofa, so you are going to have to learn how to potty train a puppy. Another thing that you need to know, is that they may even poop on the carpet also, you can actually count on it. Now before I get into potty training your puppy any farther, you have to realize that when puppies are young, they are unable to control and hold their bladder for a long time, if at all at first. So being mean and rubbing it’s face in the feces is one of the worst things that you can do, don’t do it. It will not teach your puppy anything as they will not know what it is that they did wrong. So how do you potty train a puppy? Let’s take a look at some of the facts that you will need to know to successfully do this.

One thing that you will come to realize about all dogs, is that they love to chew on stuff, especially stuff that they are not supposed to chew on. You must also realize that dogs have to chew, so if you do not give them something to chew on, they will more than likely go after whatever is easiest, such as your brand new sandals that are by the door. This is not a very hard problem to cure, you can slow it down easily by providing the dog with enough chew toys that they will not have to find the need to rip through your brand new 100 dollar pair of sneakers that you just bought and saved up for.

A dog that is poorly trained will give you more headaches than drinking straight bourbon all odd hours of the night, on an empty stomach. It can be annoying, devastating, and embarrassing, not something that you are going to want to show off to your friends and family. But now on the other hand, a puppy, or on that hand that is well trained, will be a much more enjoyable companion, and also much more safe. Take for instance if you dog is running from you and he is outside, when you call him he should return, as he could be running somewhere where he may be in danger, such as traffic on a busy street.
Just remember when you are trying to teach your puppy how to sit, you must be encouraging in every way that you can, such as rewarding the puppy when he carries out one of your commands. Dogs, and especially puppies do not respond well to being yelled at or attacked, most of the time they are just so scared and frightened they really do not know what is going on when you are yelling at them. So do not do that. [click to continue…]

Specifically the time that it is going to take to train a dog. You cannot expect to make a trip to your local pet smart, dog pound, or where ever it is you are about to acquire your knew dog, you cannot expect them to know what to do right away, unless of course they are house trained. For instance, puppies are not house trained, they are not born knowing what to do when it comes to things like listening to human commands, and where it is okay and not okay to go to the bathroom at.
