Basic Puppy Training Techniques

Basic Puppy Training Techniques

There are a number of important guidelines that you need to keep in mind
when teaching your puppy the basics about good behavior.

Exercising the right training techniques is what will make or break your training regimen with your dog.

Follow these five important guidelines and teaching your puppy will be
easier than ever.

1 - Be Gentle - Your new puppy is going to be extremely sensitive at first,
and as a result will not be able to handle anything that is too stressful on both an emotional and a physical level.

Although learning generally quickly takes place, now is the time where your puppy will react poorly to stress or being trained too rough.

If fears are picked up too easily during the training process, then it may inhibit the puppy's ability to learn, so make sure to be gentle but firm in your training.

2 - Keep Things Brief - Puppies have even shorter attention spans than children.

Your puppy is only going to learn when his or her attention is on you, and you will not see the results that you are looking for when your puppy is tired physically or mentally.

Make sure to be brief when putting your puppy through training activities, and then you can move on.

3 - Exercise Patience - Expecting overnight results is only going to frustrate
you and cause your training regimen to lose its focus.

Relax, and understand that things like this will take time, and puppies learn in spurts.

Puppies also do go through brief memory lapses so do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed if your puppy seems to forget some of its training from one day to the next.

Exercise patience when it comes to training and you will be just fine.

4 - Exercise Simplicity - Teaching your puppy should be done in a step by
step process if you want to attain the best results.

This is the best way that your puppy will learn.

Exercise a simple, step by step approach and your puppy will learn more quickly and will enjoy the process more thoroughly than if you were to employ a more intensive training regimen.

5 - Build Confidence - Confidence is the core of every healthy adult dog, and
confidence begins with building confidence in a young puppy.

Building confidence in your puppy is not hard at all to do; all you need to do is spend positive time with your puppy as often as you possibly can.

This will help to build self confidence in your puppy.

You should not always be in training mode when you first get your puppy, but instead sometimes you should step back and play with your dog, having fun with him or her in the process.

Training is important, but above all else your dog needs to know that you are friends.

These five fundamental training foundations are vital in preparing your puppy
for an effective training regimen and will drive better results when properly
integrated into your step by step puppy training process.

Mastiffs are former warrior dogs that were used to fight lions, tigers, and

bears and they are still the largest dog in the world.

So, obviously they are not a quiet and friendly family dog, right?

Absolutely wrong!

Yes, it is true the Mastiff was a great warrior in the past. But today’s Mastiff

can be gentle, patient, and affectionate. The Mastiff is also typically calm and

gentle, and is therefore an excellent companion for children, especially older

children.

The bottom line is the Mastiff can make a great family dog. You may even be

surprised to learn that despite its size, you don’t need a huge house with acres

of land to raise a Mastiff.

The Mastiff actually tends to be rather lazy, and will live quite happily in an

apartment, as long as it is close to you.

But whether you want a Mastiff as a family pet or a guard dog, the key to you’

re, and your pet’s, happiness is knowing how to raise him and care for him

properly.

You need to know what to feed him …

You need to know how to train him …

You need to know how to groom him …

Dog Food - 'preservative and chemical free'

Ann N. Martin,Best-selling pet care author, reveals why foods labeled as 'preservative and chemical free' are nothing less then deadly poisons...

"Before these animal parts and by-product used for pet food are shipped from the slaughterhouse to the rendering plant, the by-product is "denatured."

This means that crude carbolic acid, cresylic disinfectant, or citronella, is sprayed on the product."

Caution : Don't believe the lies that are told to you by friendly looking vets and dog breeders representing the dog food industry... YOU are dealing with multi-billion dollar companies who want to do nothing more than manipulate you! Follow me, I can show you how to make a great escape.

Just when you think it's starting to get bad, I must now hit you with an even harsher reality...

"Would YOU allow YOUR dog to eat another dog? You Do It EVERYDAY.."

You Might Want To Take a Seat...

Your dog's food consists of mostly DEAD PETS, cats and dogs!



Euthanized pets that will be
processed into dog food



I'm not happy to tell you that in Los Angeles, over 200 tons of euthanized dogs as well as cats are sent to a pet food plant each and every month. .

These people have no morals whatsoever... This is deadly to your dogs as well as disgusting... They just want your money!

What Scares Me is the the drug administered to kill these abandoned and stray animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, does not get broken down during the manufacturing process and remains actively present in your dog's food.

As if feeding your dogs dead pets isn't already enough, dog fo od companies also include euthanized animals from animal control, zoos, and even decaying road kill.

After these dead animals along with whatever nasty materials are processed the finished result is a brown powder consisting of...

25% fecal matter - I said it, 25% Animal droppings!

" Sad Truth About Dog Food and Dead Pets"

Research Investigator as well as Author Ann N. Martin discovers vets have known about the dangers of feeding dogs euthanized animals for years and yet it still goes on...

"This [using euthanized animals in dog food] can be problematic because sodium pentobarbital can withstand the heat from rendering.

For years, some veterinarians and animal advocates have known about the potential danger of sodium pentobarbital residue in commercial pet food, yet the danger has not been alleviated."


The Dog Breeding Bible

She also exposes the fact that not only does your dog eat dead pets, but also the ID tags, collar and even the plastic bags they are put in..
"It is not uncommon for thousands of euthanized dogs and cats to be delivered to rendering plants, daily, and thrown into the rendering vat—collars, I.D. tags, and plastic bags—All this is in what they call "meat meal"!

ACT NOW: If you want to SAVE your dog, it's your responsibility to act now before it's TOO LATE. The solution is cheap and simple once you find out how, that's just one small thing that my book will show you!

The book takes you through the essential questions and points you need to consider before even embarking on a career as a professional dog breeder

YOU will learn the truth about the birthing process and what is involved, to deliver your pups safely and assure that the health of the mother remains intact.

The Dog Breeding Bible continues to educate YOU as a potential breeder by offering advice on how to care for and raise newly born pups.

Why make the same common mistakes that rookie breeders make all the time? Everyone seems to love puppies and most of us keep that love alive even while the dog matures. If you have managed to raise a few dogs well that's great, but YOU'RE a long way away from being a successful breeder.

Breeding and caring for a litter of puppies turns out in many cases to be much more work that most people are prepared for.

As a breeder your customers will expect the healthiest dog possible. This means you need knowledge of your breed and the possible defects associated with them.

All breeds of dog are prone to some kind of health ailment so it is essential that you know how to spot these possible problems in your adult stock. Let my book show you how to side-step all these hassles or

without my guidance YOU may have to pay for highly advanced testing to check for any problems that can be hard to spot even for the most experienced breeder.

Again, it is a financial burden if you don't know what you're doing but through my expert guidance you can make it pay off in the long run.

Don't try to put the burden on yourself. YOU will never get anywhere and you will just have to keep starting back at square one.

Save yourself the hassle by making the best investment for your future as a breeder. My book will pay for it's self a thousand times with all the money you will save by following my simple guide lines.

Customers pay hundreds even into the thousands of dollars for pure bred dogs...

so they do have a right to expect you as a breeder have done everything possible to insure the health of the dog. Selling dogs that later develop health problems can create some awful scenarios.

A couple of rookie mistakes will cause you to come out of pocket by having to reimburse the purchaser for vet bills and replace the puppy with a healthy dog.

Are you really willing to pass up the opportunity to avoid all this stress? No other breeders guide will even come close to delivering even half of the valuable informaion that you will get out of this book.

The book will take you through a week by week process from birth to the time the pups are ready to join their new owners.

It will teach you the stages of development, what to look for and of course care instruction to help your mother dog recover after her hard work.



Also included in the book is advice on how to screen potential new owners, care instructions for adult dog, how to trim the cost of your pet budget without compromising the health and care of your dog, how to train and condition your dog for weight pull and where to buy dog medicines.

So many enter into this with the idea of making quick money without much effort. The Dog Breeding Bible is designed to educate those that want to breed for the right reasons and help them take their idea and turn it into a successful business while at the same time doing so ethically.

Just look below to see what all you will be missing out on if you don't take advantage of this almost too good to be true opportunity.

Frisbee

Dog Frisbee

Playing Frisbee with your dog is a lot of fun. Dogs are good when it comes to playing catch. You get to spend quality bonding time with your pet while having fun and not only that, did you know that dog Frisbee has other benefits?

Some dog breeds are used to an active lifestyle and if they don’t get the needed daily exercise, they usually create diversions to amuse themselves. However, there are times when their diversions are somewhat destructive from the point of view of the pet owner. Playing Frisbee is a very good way to curb those destructive behaviors. Frisbee will serve as your dog’s outlet so that he can use up his constrained energy.

When you play Frisbee with your dog, you’re also getting some exercise. So both you and your pet can maintain a healthy condition. If you have a herding dog, it will be more fun to play Frisbee because this dog breed is more skilled at fetching. But if you have a different dog breed, dont fret, fetching the Frisbee can be taught easily. You have to ensure that you purchase a Frisbee that is suited for ‘dog Frisbee’. Regular flying discs can irritate or harm the gums of your dog so be careful when choosing the right Frisbee.

So how will you start teaching your dog to play Frisbee? You can start by replacing your dog’s food dish with the Frisbee. Serve his food on the Frisbee and after your dog finish eating, clean the disc. After some time, your dog will be able to associate the food with the Frisbee and so when you throw the flying disc, the dog will surely chase after it.

For starters, you can start by throwing the flying disc one or two feet from you on the floor. Tell your dog to fetch it and if your pet obeys, give him praise or a treat. If your dog doesn’t obey you at first, you must not get frustrated or scold your dog. Learning to play Frisbee may take some time, so you should be patient. The entire learning experience should be fun for you and your dog.

When the dog learns to get the disc, it’s time to teach him to return the Frisbee to you. Some dogs return the Frisbee at once but some dogs are not fast learners. If your dog does not return the Frisbee, try to tempt him by presenting a new Frisbee. Tell your dog to return the Frisbee to you and when he comes towards you, toss the other Frisbee and get the first one. Repeat this procedure several times until the dog learns to return the Frisbee without being told.

Some dogs are really stubborn and if this happens, you will need a 30 feet training lead. When you toss the Frisbee, tell your dog to get it for you and gently pull the lead towards you. If the dog drops the Frisbee, stop pulling the lead and pick up the disc. Repeat the process over and over again.

When your dog learns to fetch the Frisbee, you can now play outside. Teach your dog to catch the Frisbee while on flight. When you toss the Frisbee, tell your dog ‘catch’. Some dogs can get it in a few tries while others do not. If you want to teach your dog how to play Dog Frisbee, be patient because it will take some time.
