It is very common in households around the world to incorporate dogs and other domestic animals into the family home. Puppies can be quite destructive and often mischievous. Use the advice in this article, and train your dog properly.
Give your puppy his own toys that he can chew to remove pain due to teething, and keep him away from chewing other items. Give it one of his toys instead. Teething pain can be soothed by a washcloth that has been soaked in water and frozen.
Don’t reinforce your dog’s negative behavior by accident. This means don’t give your dog treats or attention for something he should not be doing. For instance, it will be difficult or impossible to train your dog not to jump on people if you give your pet a friendly neck-scratch when he or she jumps on you.
Teaching any dog how to roll over can be pretty easy. Make sure you’ve got a few tasty treats handy before beginning. The first step is to teach your dog to lay. Next, hold the treat close to the floor near its head, and bring it up over the dog’s head as you place it on the other side. They’ll follow your treat with their nose which will cause them to roll over. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Have patience since your dog may not get the trick quickly. However, once he does, he’ll be the center of attention at the dog park.

Giving your dog proper training, however, can remedy this difficulty. If you remember to use the advice from this article, you will be able to coexist peacefully with man’s best friend.
