You love your dog and you also care for your possessions. Your dog isn’t aware of the value of your things, so items that seem fun to a dog may be played with. Follow the advice below for tips and useful tricks that are guaranteed to help you tame the beast.
When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. If your puppy seems reluctant about entering the crate, place a chew toy inside and close the door to the kennel. This will make the puppy want to be let inside the crate to get the bone. When he finally goes into the crate to retrieve the toy, shower the dog with praise.
Teething is painful, and providing chew toys helps alleviate the pain. Keep items that are potentially more painful out of reach. Replace the tasty item you do not want chewed with a designated chew toy. Teething pain can be soothed by a washcloth that has been soaked in water and frozen.
You should not tie up multiple dogs where they can reach each other, no matter how friendly they are. The leashes or chains can become intertwined, causing harm to one or more of the dogs. Becoming wrapped up could also cause death if one of the dogs gets so tangled and wrapped up his airway closes.
Your dog needs to be up to date on his training. This will help to make them more obedient. Too many owners tend to be under the impression that once they have trained their dog, that’s the end of it. However, pets and humans share similar habit systems. Therefore it is very important to maintain a good set of rules for your dog.
No matter what the problematic behavior entails, it simply has to stop. This not only keeps your dog safe, but saves you money on vet bills. When you apply the ideas you’ve just read, you are taking yourself one step closer to training your dog properly.
