Good dog care is vitalWritten by Rolf Rasmusson
Good dog care is vitalDog care Accepting responsibility of your new pet friend is truly serious business. Caring for your new best pet friend is rewarding with that I feel good feeling. Love and care is what we all want and our pet friends aren't any different. Teaching our pets tricks, buying toys, supplies, training, collars, crates, clothes is all part of loving kind dog care. The happiness and joy in watching our Charlie dog responding to new obedience house training seems to make us want to do much more for our lovable and charming friend. We've learned a lot about health problems and symptoms, how to's of medication, dog nutrition and keeping him healthy. Along with that we've also gotten a tooth brush for dental care. I mean it's no less than bringing up a little child. After all isn't that what puppies are? Little kids as well?
| | Puppy Crate Training -- Fast Track to a Contented DogWritten by Charles Burke
Puppy crate training is one of most effective ways to housebreak your new puppy. Puppy crate training takes a little patience, but it's a good way to set your puppy on right path. This method has an impressive track record. Be sure to prepare everything ahead of time. Even before you bring your new puppy home, have puppy crate ready and waiting. The size of crate is important. For proper puppy crate training, you should have plenty of room in crate for puppy to turn around, stand and lie down, but don't get one that's too big. Puppies feel uncomfortable in a crate that's so big they rattle around in it. If your puppy is a breed that will grow large, it's okay to buy a bigger crate for him to grow into, but make sure it has an adjustable partition in back. This lets you keep his living space comfortable and cozy, but you can still expand it by moving partition back as your puppy grows to full size. When you are ready to begin puppy crate training, place your new puppy gently in his crate. Make sure you've also put a towel or small blanket and a treat or toy in crate. If you're using a wire crate for puppy crate training, always remove puppy’s collar first so it won’t get snagged on wire. You may hear some whining or even crying at this point. You need to ignore it. Sometimes it helps to cover crate with a blanket so his home feels a little cozier. Remember, dogs are not claustrophobic. They like an enclosed space. It's their den.
