In some ways a dog is similar to a remote that needs programming to work with your television. Working capabilities are there, but like a remote, a person must help it work with their TV. Practically any dog is capable of learning new things, but only if the owner is willing to put forth some effort in teaching these tricks.
Your dog needs to be active frequently. Dogs require mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Dogs with no enthusiasm will be harder to train than active dogs. If you have a happy, exercised dog, they will listen better. Take your dog on long walks or runs.
Get your dog chew toys to get rid of teething pains. Replace the tasty item you do not want chewed with a designated chew toy. If your puppy seems to be suffering a lot from teething, a frozen washcloth to chew on can give him some relief.
You should not tie up multiple dogs where they can reach each other, no matter how friendly they are. The chain of one dog could become wrapped around the other and, as the dogs struggle to free themselves, one or both could be injured. Situations like this can cause dogs of various sizes to cause fatal injuries if not properly monitored. Always err on the side of caution.
When attempting to house train your pup, keep in mind that whatever goes in, must go out. If you want your puppy to relieve himself with regularity, keep the diet regular too, like feeding him good food two or three times daily at consistent intervals. You will know when it is time for your the dog to use the bathroom, reducing accidents.
Once someone knows how to enforce positive abilities, dogs learn quickly. The dog will enjoy pleasing the owner as much as the owner enjoys seeing the dog responding to the training they are administering.
