			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building Respect Through House Rules</p>
<p>Your puppy/dog doesn&#8217;t come to you automatically trusting and respecting you just because you are &#8220;human&#8221;.  To earn his trust and respect; you must set and enforce a consistent set of rules.   Consistent means the same rules with the same consequences enforced by all members of the household. </p>
<p>Dogs need 4 things in order to be happy, obedient and mentally well balanced:  essentials (food, water, shelter), exercise (structured), clearly defined and consistently reinforced rules and love</p>
<p>If there are no defined rules in your household, your puppy will either become confused due to the inconsistency of rules/consequences or become completely out of control, following perfectly normal behavior for the dog world that does not fit into the human world.  This will lead to frustration and anger from you, creating frustration and/or aggression from your puppy. </p>
<p>When your puppy becomes frustrated, that frustration will manifest in one or more of the following:</p>
<p>Nipping           Biting              Chewing          Barking           Digging           Aggression</p>
<p>Although all of these behaviors are natural and normal for your puppy, they can escalate very quickly into a frustrating and potentially dangerous situation for your family.   Here are some tips to help him stay happy and well behaved.</p>
<ol>
<li>Setting the house rules:  Make a list of rules for your puppy.  Put this list together with every member of your family&#8217;s input.  List everything he is not allowed to do (i.e. jumping on people, bolting through doors, nipping, pottying in the house and anything else your family decides on).  After each rule, write down what consequence you will give him if he breaks that rule.  Decide together, and then post it on the refrigerator where everyone can see it.  This will help your family to be consistent and make your dog&#8217;s training progress at a faster rate.      See example below.</li>
<li>Walking:  Dogs have an instinctual need for walking and this is one of the best ways to burn off some energy, add in some training, as well as give your puppy much needed mental stimulation and happiness.  This is not a &#8220;potty&#8221; walk, it is an exercise walk.  Using the proper equipment is very important; use a leather or nylon leash and either a buckle collar or no pull harness.  There are many different equipment options on the market, so if a buckle collar or no pull harness doesn&#8217;t work for you and your puppy talk to a positive reinforcement trainer for additional suggestions.  Walk your puppy at least once a day (preferably two times a day) for at least 20 minutes.     </li>
<li>Nothing in life is free:  Your dog must work for everything he likes!  Food, walks, attention and play all need to be controlled by you.  Your dog must sit and wait or at least be calm before he gets to eat his food, before you put the leash on, before you pet him and before you begin play.  If your puppy seems to be bossy, you should be the one to instigate all play.  If he brings you a toy, ask him to sit first and then you can pick up the toy and engage him in play.  Your puppy demanding that you play with or pet him may be cute at first, but it won&#8217;t be so cute when he is bigger and more demanding. </li>
<li>Decide whether your puppy will be allowed on the furniture.  If you don&#8217;t want your puppy on the furniture, NEVER allow him on it, don&#8217;t make exceptions – your puppy will not understand when it is ok and when it is not.  If he is allowed on the furniture, attach the Nothing In Life Is Free program to it, he must sit before you give him the ok to jump up on the furniture.  For pups that are having dominant, bossy or aggression related behaviors or if you just don&#8217;t want them on the furniture; they should not be allowed on the furniture at all – even when you are not there.  If this is the case, you will need to block his access to the furniture when you are not home. </li>
<li>Teach your puppy not to invade your space.  He should not be allowed to jump on you.  When he jumps on you, use as little physical contact as possible; ignore him completely until he calms down and then give affection.   </li>
<li>Stay calm and confident:   Dogs read and feed off of our body language.  If you show uncertainty, frustration, nervousness, confusion, anger or stress, your puppy will pick up on those feelings and become stressed, confused, aggressive and/or nervous.  If you are calm and confident, he will be calmer, balanced, happy and more obedient.  </li>
</ol>

<p>I believe dog training should be fun, rewarding and exciting for both the dog and the human.  I take a scientific approach to training and train through love, kindness and respect with clearly defined rules and boundaries and get fabulous results.  I have been a trainer for 20 years, graduated from Animal Behavior College (ABCDT), I am certified through Association of Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA) and the International Association of Canine Professionals (CDT).  I am the founder and president of HEARTland Positive Dog Training Alliance; a group of pet professionals and dog owners dedicated to positive reinforcement training. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A doggie in a cup! Sounds cute, isn&#8217;t it? It would be, as if your little stuffed-toy pup came to life. A teeny-weeny golden retriever, that could fit in your hand…………exciting hmm? But hold on. Golden retrievers are dogs; live, energetic, intelligent, loving, full-bodied living creatures, right? They are supposed to be man&#8217;s companion and not mere ‘moving and breathing toys&#8217;.</p>
<p>Golden Retriever is a breed known for its majestic looks along with an extremely pleasing demeanour. Trying to fit it into a teacup is not only cruel but also derogatory. If you love Golden Retriever &#8211; the breed, love it as it comes – the medium-large dog. And if it is the size that attracts you, then go for a toy dog breed, e.g. Chihuahua.</p>
<p>Moreover, there is nothing like a teacup Golden Retriever. Some breeds have been specially bred to reduce their size, over the generations. But there is no special small-sized Golden breed.</p>
<p>Talking about the term ‘teacup&#8217;, it can be defined as ‘slang&#8217; in the group of dog terms. There is nothing like a ‘teacup&#8217; breed. It is a term popularly used to describe a very small toy dog or pup that is small enough to fit in a teacup. No major kennel clubs approve of this term. Irresponsible, profit oriented breeders, or back-yard breeders as they are called, use this term to market small pups/dogs in order to make them sound special; so that they can fetch high (often exorbitant) prices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Allan Codling here,</p>
<p>When we get our dogs we often look for dog training advice but often in the wrong places. The primary focus that we need to have is on dog obedience training as it is a crucial aspect for dog owners. Dog obedience training methods are the basis for a getting your dog to be well behaved, responsive. With these methods your dog will be able to live in your home with your family, friends and other dogs comfortably.</p>
<p>A lot of dog owners want to just potty train their dogs and forget about the obedience factor. What they do not realize is it is much more difficult to get your dog potty trained without the regular practice of obedience training. It makes it even more difficult to correct behavior problems like chewing, biting, jumping and aggression. It all starts with dog obedience training.</p>
<p>Dogs have what is called a pack mentality which means that they need a leader. It is your responsibility as the owner to build the relationship between you and your dog and get your dog to see you as the leader. Now many people either take this piece of dog training advice to lightly and spoil the dog and let it do whatever it wants and many take it to far and are way to militant with the dog and offer no real affection. Both of these habits are ill-advised. What you need to do is love your dog and shower him with affection, but always maintain your leader role in the relationship and the dog will become accustomed to this and recognize it quickly(dogs are smart, they know whats going on <img src='http://www.ediemackenzie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  .      </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To several ones, dogs are like their kids to them, the initial thing they check as they enter the house and the first thing that they search for in the morning. Passion for a dog can be naturally in one&#8217;s instinct. But for people who are not animal lovers, caring for a dog naturally may be hard but possible. But really, it is possible to learn how to love a dog? This question can have broad range of respones, but actually the answer to this relies on how willing a person is to do so.</p>
<p>To see dogs in a very optimistic way, get the hard work to educate them your way. For you to develop a great companionship with your dog, train him to be obedient to you. It may well be challenging at first, but if you do it cooperatively, you will get to succeed in the end. Effective coaching will ensure you of an obedient dog. Read <a href="http://www.trainmypoodle.com/secrets-to-dog-training-review/" target='_blank'>Secrets to Dog Training review</a>. It is all about an eBook that tackles all the necessary things about training a dog. So to be able to love a dog naturally, the dog itself needs to be lovable. The dog by itself needs to be obedient you. One more advantage of training your dog would be having the time to bond with your pet. Bonding is an essential component in the development of any relationship. This is as well a useful way to let your dog create its believe in to you. Dogs can be rather tender pets. They can safeguard you in every single way they know how. But for this to be achievable, they need to begin to believe in you, and the most effective way to obtain this is quality time by means of training.</p>
<p>Also, to refrain from becoming hassled by dog&rsquo;s illnesses, it is significant to maintain his well being. It is challenging to take care of a sickly pet. Also, dogs are also capable of feeling pain. Put yourself in their feet so you can realize how they feel. As a pet owner, do your part in being in constant guidance of your pet&rsquo;s wellness. Make sure that he is not suffering from any illness or weakened by any pain by taking him to the vet regularly. It is also vital that you do not neglect feeding him and feeding him right. Vitamins and supplements will also help you grow a healthy and energetic dog. Also, keep a first aid kit at home so that you can respond correspondingly in case your dog becomes injured or he is in an emergency condition. Your first aid kit have to consist of ointments and typical canine meds such as <a href="http://www.trainmypoodle.com/aspirin-for-dogs/" target='_blank'>aspirin for dogs</a>.</p>
<p>As your dog ages in your company, you will certainly feel being attached to him. Dogs never fail to satisfy their owners by being loyal and protective to them. There is almost no possibility that you could not learn loving your dog when you give in to the idea. So to repay your pet with his faith in you, do your duty in providing him his basic needs such as food, nutritional vitamins, health needs, appreciation, affection, and quality time. Give substantial focus to your dog&#8217;s health because it degrades as they grow old. Sicknesses like arthritis may start. Common arthritis meds include etodolac 400 mg tablet. Never lose contact with the vet to ensure your pet&rsquo;s wellness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Training a dog should be an enjoyable and easy task both for you and your dog, but things can be different in Basset Hound training. It is because Basset Hounds, just like any other hounds, are extremely hard to train. They tend not to obey commands given to them because as scent hounds they prefer to follow what their noses tell them. Low desire to please its owner is another reason why a basset hound is hard to train.</p>
<p>When it comes to <a href="https://womach.infusionsoft.com/go/mc/448168/">dog training</a>, especially obedience training, a Basset hound is less likely to be chosen by most dog owners and trainers because of its characteristics towards training. However, it is not impossible to train a Basset hound if you really want to. Some have been successful in training their Basset hounds but only a few of them. Patience, together with your great love for your Basset hound is essential in order to have a well behaved dog.</p>
<p>Training tips are just few clicks away when searching a web and you can also learn through seminars from dog experts. But the best method in Basset Hound training is to know and listen to your dog. Discover what exercise or activity your dog enjoys and start your way from there. Let him understand that training is fun! Be artistic and create fun and exciting training methods and as much as possible, vary it from time to time so as not to bore them. Limit the training session to only 10-20 minutes. Slowing down and showing resistance to work is an indication that he has become bored or he doesn&#8217;t like your training method.</p>
<p>Using training tools such as crate and rewards are ideal partner in every training session. Most Basset hounds obey command when offered reward, but will forget the training when reward is being offered. To do away with this, hide the reward from the dog before giving a command. Show him the reward only until he has complied with the command so as to come up with a Basset hound who follows command with or without the presence of a reward. The point here is to give him the idea that you may have a reward for him even if he can not see it.</p>
<p>It is also important to know the right time to start training. Making mistakes in the beginning of the training may delay the process and may not guarantee better results. Begin the training with something he enjoys so that he will be convinced to do it. Avoid being harsh and force your dog to do something which you think he doesn&#8217;t like. Consistency and determination is much more helpful.</p>
<p>With these tips, you will surely be able to come up with nicely trained dog. You can now aim higher levels of training such as obedience and agility training, and prove others that it is not impossible to train these stubborn four legged friends.</p>

<p>1. When training your dog, give him praise when he does it right. When you show your dog that you are happy with his efforts, he will be more inclined to want to please you. As you progress and reach harder milestones, you may want to wait a little longer to give the praise. In the beginning, however, it is good to do it right away.</p>
<p>2. Use treats. After he has worked hard, has done a few tricks, to sit or to lay on command, or has been a good sport, it is fair to reward your dog with a treat. Like people, dogs need incentive to work.</p>
<p>3. Do not yes or hit your dog. This is extremely ineffective and will not produce the results you want. Like people, dogs respond negatively to such abuse, and it will more than likely increase the chances that your dog will rebel. This will only make for a frustrated owner and an angry dog.</p>
<p>4. Be firm but gentle. Give the commands firmly while gently moving your dog into the position that you want him. The firm but gentle tactic shows your dog that you are the boss: but, it also shows that he is loved.</p>
<p>5. Train your dog for a couple of minutes each day: but, do not go for too long as it will overwork the dog and cause him to feel stressed. Like people, dogs need repetition in order to grasp a new concept and can become stressed when overworked. Not to mention, if you work with your dog a couple of minutes a day, this will strengthen your friendship.</p>
<p>6. Help your dog to associate action with command. The way this can be done is as soon as you see your dog sit, say the word sit. Do the same thing if he is lying down. This will help him to know that these certain words are associated with these actions. Do this until he gets the hang of it.</p>
<p>7. Do not pay attention to your dog if he is misbehaving. If you give him attention only when he is running with toilet paper in his mouth, getting in the trash, or causing any other mischief, then this is letting him know that he can get your attention when he is doing something bad.</p>
<p>When you train your dog, this allows your dog to feel safe and secure. Also, when your dog knows you are his leader, this can prove to be a happy environment for both you and your dog!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mutual trust and understanding are required between the hunter and his Labrador Retriever before a satisfactory retrieving companion is developed.</p>
<p>The intelligent Labrador Retriever, brought up as a house pet with the love and understanding of the person who is to take him hunting, requires a minimum of training in order to accomplish the job.  Much of this training can be done in the house and a few minutes a day is enough.</p>
<p>Such things as blind retrieves and hand signals can become a game in the house with the dog learning to trust his nose as one of the important by-products.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://womach.infusionsoft.com/go/offlimit/J448168/"><img src="http://www.discoveringlabradoodles.com/images/Chet-Free-Video.jpg " alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/thedogtrainingsecret_com');" rel="nofollow" href="https://womach.infusionsoft.com/go/offlimit/J448168/">Click Here Now</a> &#8211; -and watch Chet&#8217;s Free Dog Training Video.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Introduction to feathers can be accomplished by tying feathers on a dummy or using a pigeon or chicken wing with the feathers intact.  Remember that a Labrador should hand you the object retrieved and not drop it on the ground as is allowed with other breeds.  This is also one of the requirements for a working certificate for a show dog.  One important thing should not be overlooked and that is allowing persons to throw just anything for a dog and not requiring the dog to bring it back and give it to them.  Let toys be toys, but certain definite other things should be reserved for training.</p>
<p>If a dog has a tendency to go off with the object you are training with outdoors, it is a good idea to reduce the available working space so that evading you is minimized.  In such circumstances, moving away from the dog may induce following and the training object may be retrieved as the dog passes.  His game of keep-away is thus converted to delivering the object for reward of the praise bestowed upon surrender of the object.</p>
<p>For outside work, training involves getting your Labrador Retriever to go far out, which is not possible in the house.  Introducing him to gunfire must also be done outdoors.  You can find a training aid called a dummy thrower that is very useful, but test it without your dog the first time as the dummy goes a long way.</p>
<p>For Labrador Retriever owners wishing to use a whistle for signals, one of the product that you can get is the Acme Thunderer.  With this type of whistle, one can almost talk as it is possible to make various other sounds.  One blast is commonly used for a dog to sit wherever he is, and three blasts to summon the dog to come towards or all the way back to you.  The single blast is used also to signal for the Labrador Retriever to pay attention when you plan to use hand signals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The owner of a Dalmatian has to be smart and consistent with regard to rules of behavior. This consistency is also required of everyone else in the household, because if the dog discovers that one person in the household allows him to do a certain thing, such as jump up while the other household members do not, he will generalize this discovery to the entire human population.  Therefore, he will try jumping up on visitors and strangers on the street, thinking that at least some people will allow him to jump up.</p>
<p>The Dalmatian&#8217;s natural persistence, tenacity and inventiveness could make him a nuisance in the hands of a lazy or unresponsive owner.  Just like small children, Dalmatians&#8217; will get your attention, one way or another.  But as soon as they get your attention, they do not always know what to do with it.  Sometimes they give the cutest looking apologetic grin imaginable.  One of the curious characteristics of the Dalmatian is the ability to &#8220;smile.&#8221;  To some people it appears more like an ear-to-ear silent snarl than a look of glee, and to others it appears to be an embarrassed grin.  In any case, when some  Dalmatians get flustered, they draw up their lips and pull back the edges of their mouths, exposing almost every tooth in the same movement that people use to smile, but they are not laughing.</p>
<p>Dalmatians&#8217; have a smile that usually appears just after they have been discovered in the kitchen with the contents of an entire garbage can carefully spread all over the floor, or when their owner uses a scolding tone of voice.  He will then lower his head and often slink while displaying the look.  The reason why it is hard to tell whether they are smiling is that they are bright enough to be suspicious whenever anything goes awry.</p>
<p>One of the thing they love to do in an open area is play their form of dodge ball to where  they use their bodies as the ball. They will run away to about twenty-five to thirty yards and then come rushing back straight at either another dog or you, running at full tilt for a direct hit, and missing by a fraction of an inch. Their goal is to get as frighteningly close to you as possible without hitting you.  Your role is to stand completely still, without flinching while he whizzes by without crashing into you.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the Dalmatian&#8217;s amazing capacity for physical activity and endurance seem to be matched by amazing bursts of genius as well. A Dalmatian will test your patience and keep you on your toes, though they are also as devoted as they are intelligent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Golden Retriever</h2>
<p>Almost all breeds of dogs are group oriented, as they need to interact with other species of their group to remain secure and the Golden Retriever, in particular, have been bred over the years to be geared more towards people.</p>
<p>They make great guide dogs for the blind, friends for younger children, and even assistants for those who love to hunt.  Due to the way they have been bred, they need to interact with people on a frequent basis.</p>
<p>They are merciful dogs at heart, and will tolerate several mistakes from you all the while wanting nothing more than you to acknowledge the fact that they are there and pat them on the head.  Further proving that Golden Retrievers aim to please, is the fact that they were the first three dogs to obtain the Obedience Trial Championships &#8211; which is quite a statement indeed.</p>
<p>With the Golden Retriever being so people oriented, it’s very important that they live with their owners.  When you do any type of family activity, you should make sure that your Golden Retriever is included.  Even though they don’t normally bark a lot, they will start barking if they get bored.  Once a Golden Retriever is fully grown and becomes stout, he will enjoy many types of activities such as hiking, walking, hunting, jogging, and many other types of physical activity.</p>
<p>If you start your Golden Retriever puppy out early with exposure to kids, he will grow to become better than ever will kids. Although they can be very friendly around young kids, they can still knock them over or tend to want to lick them in the face.  No matter how great your Golden Retriever may be around kids, you’ll never want to leave your dog and your kids alone.  Even though Golden’s have a great temperament, a child can accidentally poke him or pull his tail and cause him to retaliate via his natural instinct.</p>
<p>All Golden Retrievers love the water, and choose to get wet any chance they get.  If you have a pond or other source of water on your land, you can expect your Golden Retriever to get into it whenever he gets the chance.  They are also drawn to mud, and will get themselves dirty on a frequent basis.  Once your Golden is full grown, you can count on bathing him every couple of days.</p>
<p>During the summer, you’ll need to make sure that your Golden Retriever has plenty of moving air, shade, and water.  They like the heat, although it normally isn’t good for them.  As long as you take care of your Golden and don’t let him over exert himself, he should be just fine even in the hottest days that summer can dish out.<br />
