Dog Blog

We are always looking for sites that will provide useful information to help us live with our loved dog. One such site I came across is put out by American Dog Trainers Network in which they outline twelve tips for a well behaved dog.

In the first tip they discuss the importance of starting early in your dogs life.

Second suggestion is how to treat your dog gently and humanely, make this more of a “play training” event.

On the third tip they discuss how a dog sees you, are you hired help?

On the fourth they talk about are commands optional?

Fifth do not give more than one command at a time.

In this one they talk about multiple commands.

Seventh, tone of voice is important.

Eight how to use your dogs name positively, remember the days when your parents used your full name?

On the ninth its important not to punish your dog.

Timing is essential when training.

How do you handle attention from him good or bad behaviour.

And finally in their twelfth tip they discuss your anger.

There is a lot of common sense in their article, but due to lack of time or over anxiousness we tend to overlook the basics, this is an interesting article and should be read by all, whether you are a new dog owner or an experienced one.
