How To Train A Dog Or Puppy

Now I am going about food, when I set out to determine the best dog food available my main focus was always the health, vitality and longevity of my dogs - everyman wants their dogs to thrive. A well trainer has to give to dog or puppy Well Balanced & Nutritious Dog Food Diet. A poor diet leads to an increase in: Cancers, weakened immune system, liver failure, sluggish behavior or hyperactive, putrid gas, diarrhea, dull coat and heavy shedding, epilepsy, vomiting, ear infections, compromised heart and kidneys, stunted growth and weakened bones, bad breath, bowel disease, diabetes, cystitis, cataracts, hypertension, build up in the eyes, arthritis, countless allergies and who knows what else.

An owner has to know what is a crate? The crates basically come in two general styles - durable plastic and an all wire mesh type, which is often collapsible. It's really a personal choice which style of crate you go for but the most important thing is that you buy one that is the appropriate size for your dog. Get a crate that will be large enough for your fully-grown puppy and partition it off until he grows into it. I like the plastic Vari Kennel Crate (the one on the right) style because they are lightweight, tough, can be carted all around the place and they are very easy to clean.

If you plan to purchase your crate online I've always found dog.com to be very good. They have great specials, fast shipping and an enormous range of quality dog crates - click on the crates below to learn more and compare crates. Always take your dog’s collar off when he is put in the crate. Otherwise the collar can get caught on the crate, which can have disastrous consequences. There is some trips how to crate? Ensure that you aren't asking your puppy (or older dog for that matter) to hold off from going to the toilet for longer than she is physically capable.

If your puppy does have a toilet accident inside his crate obviously punishment is not an option, but you should be angry at yourself. Immediately clean up the mess including the use of an odor neutralizer. Be careful when crating your puppy in hot weather. Be especially careful when you have your puppy crated in your car, temperatures can become extreme inside cars and in a very short period of time. Except for overnight and one off occasions you should never crate your dog for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time.

Why have a dog if you have to confine him for such long periods? Perhaps a goldfish would be a more suitable pet? Dogs love their exercise; particularly nice long walks with you. So if you are going to crate your puppy or older dog they will require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day. This can also include some obedience training sessions. Never release your puppy from his crate (unless the situation is getting dangerous) if he is causing a fuss by whining, barking or being destructive.

If you give in to these demands you are actually rewarding and therefore reinforcing this undesirable behavior. Don't fall into the trap of only crating your puppy when you are about to leave the house - the crate will begin to be associated with you leaving if this is the case.
