			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring and Summer are the most popular seasons for adding a pet to the household.  Primarily, because of  all the play things one could do with their new pet during the warm season.  Although bringing a pet to your home brings delight, it also adds the challenges of house training.  This article will help you housebreak your dog.</p>

<p>Among the most crucial matters to remember once you start house training your pet is to never allow your pet to soil the floor.  A lot of professional trainers agree that this can make all the difference in being successful.  You must take your pet out often all throughout the day.  Be sure to take your pet out when it wakes in the morning, prior to bed, after naps, after it feeds or drinks, when it&#8217;s been enclosed in a crate, and after riding in the car.  On the 1st week, attempt to take your pet out one time an hour.  I recognize this sounds like some work, but this makes up part of the responsibility while attempting to housebreak your dog.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Always bring your dog to the same spot, this way he will determine he has a particular place for toileting.  </p>

<p> </p>
<p>My last tip for house training your dog is to make certain you praise your pet.  Allow your pet to sniff and move around prior to starting to eliminate.  Make certain you stand close, just try not to be too distracting to your pet.  Once you see your dog start to eliminate, be sure to praise him.  Proceed to praise your pet till he&#8217;s finished up.  This will show your pet how pleased it makes you for him to eliminate outdoors, which successively will encourage him to do it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lastly, House training your dog is a lot of work.  There will be times through out the procedure when you&#8217;ll become frustrated.  Try not to give up.  Hopefully these hints for house training your dog will make you more successful and will allow for you to housebreak your pet in only a short time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attempting to housebreak your dog can occasionally appear hard and discouraging.  This is particularly true when you do not know where to begin.  There are a few matters to remember while house-training your new pet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Attempt to give your pet a determined amount of space.  This will serve to make a more enclosed area and aid your pet to distinguish this as his living space more rapidly. This is significant as it&#8217;s the dog&#8217;s nature to be outside of their living space while urinating. Once our pet ultimately chooses that this is his home, he will attempt to keep it unsoiled.   You&#8217;ll be able to buy your pet a crate.  Line the new crate with older newsprints. This is a good thought initially as it will clean easier.   Restrain your pet to areas of the household that are less problematic to make clean such as as rooms with vinyl flooring or tile surfaces. Don&#8217;t allow your new pet to have access to your carpeting or hardwood floors.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>   Attempt to remember to limit the quantity of water your dog has got access to at the close of the day. This will make certain that you&#8217;ll not have to take your new pet out at midnight for a potty break.  Take a quick walk outdoors at regular time interval*.  Your pet will get used to this schedule and start to recognize when it&#8217;s time for him to go out.  This will make it simpler because your pet will then acknowledge that he will be getting out really soon. Be sure to use one certain word to tell your pet why he&#8217;s exiting.  Don&#8217;t come back inside till your pet has urinated. Remember to reward your new pet for a job well done.  A simple pat upon the head or “good boy” will do the trick. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>     Whenever your pet does have an accident inside, correct him at once.  You should make certain that your monitor your pet closely enough to do this.  Your new pet is really intelligent, however immediate memory is a weak point for most dogs. Whenever you don&#8217;t correct your pet at once after the accident has took place, you pet won&#8217;t understand what he&#8217;s being scolded for.    Make certain to thoroughly clean the area because dogs really do attempt to mark their territory.  You should be sure that whatever smell from the accident is tidied up so that your pet won&#8217;t come back to that area and smell the soil.  Whenever he does, he might display the same bad behavior in the same location.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>    Adopting these simple suggestion should make house training your new pet a little bit smoother.  This should help save your carpetings and your relationship with you new pet.</p>

This is very useful when trying to housebreak your dog.  Fundamentally when your pet recognizes that he&#8217;s home, this wrong behavior will end.  Your goal should be to assist this process on as quick as possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>     The 1st thing you should do is to make certain that there are no physical troubles that are making your pet to soil your carpetings.  This is only the case with a small percentage of dogs.  Nevertheless, if your pet hasn&#8217;t been to the veterinarian,  establish an appointment at once.  Your dog should be checked over for conditions that would make house training harder as well as his overall good health.  When your pet is visiting the veterinarian, ask to have it checked for worms.  Remember that the old proverb “You are what you eat” is more or less the truth.   A pitiful quality dog food can induce digestive troubles that successively could cause loose stools.  This will make it harder for your new pet to contain himself.   You should get a food that Is not saturated with fillers.  This will make the faeces firmer and there will be less of it also.  There are numerous alternatives on the market that will work well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When your first brought him home, you just knew that adorable puppy was going to make you family&#8217;s life perfect.  You visualized him running with your children, curled up at your feet on a cold night in front of the fire, and he would always be the cheerful companion for everyone in the house. You didn’t expect chewing, biting, and barking. You certainly never anticipated an aggressive personality. Never in your wild dreams did you think he would make it his life’s mission to destroy your shoes and furniture. You didn’t plan for this disobedience. Whether you were ready or not, you own a difficult dog. There is understandably temptation to give up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You may feel that you are trapped with a “bad dog.” Some may even consider the highly inappropriate route of abandoning a pet under these circumstances. Neither of these solutions is good for the dog or the owner. You must be determined that you will work with your difficult dog to improve the situation. Making this commitment is the essential first step in dealing with any difficult dog. But then what? There is no one-size-fits all solution for handling a difficult dog. Each dog’s temperament and needs are unique, just like people.  There are four things you need to do, however, if you want your dog to be the perfect companion for you.  </p>
<p>1. Seek out information</p>
<p>That small ten page dog-training pamphlet you picked up at the pet store along with the leashes is not going to enough of a guide to training your difficult dog. Seek out detailed very information about dog training and specific methods to help you while training your difficult pet. The internet is a great place to start.  There is a wealth of information and dog training books available for purchase online. Although one must avoid researching at the expense of doing, it is important to have a strong understanding of your dog and his behavioral deficiencies.  </p>
<p>2. Make sure your dog is healthy.</p>
<p>Often, behavioral problems can be a 	manifestation of an underlying health problem. Consider the 	possibility that your dog’s behavioral problems could be because 	of an underlying issue. Make sure your dog is thoroughly checked out 	by a veterinarian. If a medical issue is present proper treatment 	can rectify many of his behavior problems—as well as insuring a 	long healthy life for your dog. Too often, medical causes of poor 	behavior go overlooked.</p>
<p>3. Be patient</p>
<p>Don’t expect your problem dog to 	transform overnight. Changing the behavior patterns of difficult 	dogs will take time. If you expect the quick course that worked in 	training your neighbor’s dog to be successful for your difficult 	pet, you will be disappointed. Brace yourself to commit a great deal 	of time to correcting your dog’s errant behavior. Additionally, 	impatience increases the risk of inconsistency in training and the 	likelihood you may lose your temper or act inappropriately in 	handling your dog. This type of behavior on the part of an owner may 	not only be cruel, it can also reverse any gains made and make 	quality training even more difficult.   </p>
<p>4. Seek assistance</p>
<p>Sometimes a dog simply requires 	professional training. If you have tried to manage the situation 	unsuccessfully and have failed, you must consider utilizing a 	professional dog trainer. Quality professionals have wide-reaching 	experience and may be able to use training methods that will be 	effective for your dog. You may need to hire a trainer on a regular 	basis. At there very least, you may plan on consulting with a 	trainer regularly.  </p>
<p> <br />
By learning more, keeping a close eye 	on your dog’s physical health, remaining patient and seeking 	professional guidance when necessary, you can improve the quality of 	life for your behaviorally challenged dogs. The little puppy you 	brought home in hopes of having the perfect pet still has a chance 	at that happy life if you follow these recommendations. commit to 	treating the dog properly and training him effectively.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">
<p align="JUSTIFY">I am certain we all remember a popular song a few years ago with the line “different strokes for different folks.” This saying could be used in the canine world as well. Pure breeds have been refined over the years for specialized purposes. You should take these purposes into consideration and you can be assured of a much better animal that is well suited to its training. You shouldn’t ask a pure breed dog to do something their breeding would make them incapable of. All that could possibly result from this error would be a frustrated owner, a frustrated dog and a damaged relationship between the two.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">So what kind of specific jobs are the animals to be trained for? We shall discuss a few breed types over the next few paragraphs and give you a better idea of what skills to look for in your pet and what you should not ask of them. These suggestions will hopefully point you in the right direction in your training endeavors so that you and your pet can attain the best possible situation for both of you.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Hunting dogs have been bred for a purpose and it has remained relatively the same throughout history. Their main function is to flush game from its hiding places and then to retrieve the game after we have dispatched it. However, there are different skill sets even amongst the hunting breeds and whilst some interchangeability is possible, it is not always in the best interest of the dog. Hunting dogs fall mainly in the categories of water dogs, bird dogs and tracking dogs. Water dogs include such breed as the Labrador Retriever and are bred primarily for the purpose of waterfowl hunting and retrieval in wet land environments. Bird Dogs are more of a land-hunting animal, even though it is possible to interchange these two breed types a bit. Bird Dogs include Irish Setters and the Pointer breeds. The third classification of hunting dog is the Tracking breeds, which include hounds of all varieties. These dogs are prized for the determination and keen sense of smell. These dogs are well suited for leashed hunts or long distance, night hunts for nocturnal animals, such as raccoons or opossums, which may travel great distances in escape attempts.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">For the next group of animals, we shall consider the lap dog or house pet breeds. These are generally smaller animals and have sociable personalities. These dogs are well suited for common pet tricks such as sitting up or being trained to “speak” as well as fetching small objects. These are also the type of pet that is commonly trained to be dressed up in pint size outfits. They are extremely tolerant to this behavior. A listing of such breeds would include animals such as Toy Poodles, Chihuahuas, Pekingese, Pomeranians and Lhasa Apsos, along with similar breeds.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Another breed group to consider is the working dogs. These dogs have both the will to perform and the size and muscle to back it up. They can be seen on police and military forces around the world, on farm lots working livestock and even on the snowy tundra. These dogs are well trained for personal security and protection, livestock control and even assisting in transportation via dog sleds. These are the dogs who are trained for drug and explosive detection and also leading the visually impaired. These dogs do their job and demand the respect that goes with it. Breeds listed in this category would include German Shepherds, Malamutes, Australian Cattle Dogs and various other breeds of similar size and nature.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">It is also to be considered that some pets have left their original purpose when they have switched locations. For example, few Americans actually use Dachshunds for the purpose of badger hunting as they were originally bred. Rather, they tend to keep these animals as house pets. When considering how to train your animal, consider whether a particular skill is of use in the area where you live.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Hopefully these simple guidelines will help you to decide the best direction to take your dog training and obedience and the two of you can enjoy many wonderful adventures to come.</p>

<p align="JUSTIFY">When new trainers first get started, they tend to make many mistakes in their techniques. There are a few mistakes that are fairly common among most trainers and we shall make these ten mistakes the subject of this article.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Expecting too much- The individual who makes this error is usually well meaning and a true dog lover. The problem sets in when they see all the tricks that other dogs can do. They see the well trained pets when they go to the park and see all of the pet owners there enjoying the company of dogs that are obedient and well trained. It is at this point many will forget all the time, patience and money that has went into achieving this success.</p>
<ol>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Giving up- These owners are also well meaning and usually started out as the group who expected too much. Unfortunately, they lack the patience to achieve the result they want and decide to take an all or nothing approach. These owners decide if their pet can&#8217;t learn something in an hour so they can&#8217;t learn anything at all.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Not being consistent-If you tell the dog not to jump on you when you are dressed nicely and expect them listen, don’t let them jump on you when you are wearing your jogging clothes either. Consistent training is important because dogs learn by repetition.</p>
</ol>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Not using positive reinforcement-Many a frustrated trainer has gone with poor results because they forget to reward the dog for doing well. Rewards must be consistent, just like the training. An animal that only receives correction and never rewards will begin to do the wrong behavior just to get some type of attention.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Giving too much negative reinforcement-This is the owner that spends his day looking for the dog to make a mistake so they can be corrected. This is a mistake because when you are focused on finding the displeasing behaviors you fail to recognize and reward all the good behaviors your dog displays.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Trying to teach a dog something it was never meant to do-This problem is more common amongst individuals wanting a sport animal for such things as hunting. They try to make a general purpose multitasking animal and instead create a confused and agitated creature. Some dogs just were not meant for some jobs. You can’t ask a Dachshund to be a fox hound and you wouldn’t ask a Great Dane to go into a rabbit den. Get the right dog for the job at hand.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Not following through-Dogs love to learn and will learn through repetition and consistent lessons. However, these lessons must be followed through with. If you spend an all day session training Fido Monday and then don’t even talk to him again for two weeks, he will have most likely forgot the initial lesson.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Using of too many different techniques-While it important to glean wisdom from other trainers experiences, using everything you hear can be detrimental. Each trainer has different ideas of how things should be done and trying to incorporate all of them will frustrate you and your pet. Rather choose a method that works for you and be consistent and you will see much better results.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Apathy-All too often a pet owner says I hate this or that about my pet but it’s just too difficult to change it. Changes can be made and, if your dog sees that they bring rewards, he will respond much quicker to a direct and firm approach.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Thinking the dog training and obedience is over-Training is a learning process and it is never complete. Your dog may learn a behavior and know it well. So why stop there? Your dog loves to learn and you are a good trainer. Why would you ever want less than the best your dog could be?</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"> </p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">With knowledge of these mistakes, you can recognize some of the common feelings might have encountered yourself and you can stem these before they become a problem. We wish you the best and also a happy adventure in training your dog.</p>
