			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There probably isn&#8217;t a dog lover on the face of this earth who wouldn&#8217;t want his dog to listen to his commands. Fortunately, this can be accomplished rather easily. You can be quite successful if you follow a few basic strategies on how to begin and what to do.</p>
<p>To get you started off, here are a few training tips that might help you:</p>
<p>1. Ideally, in the beginning, you should limit the people who train your dog to just one: you. This way your dog will get used to you giving him commands faster, and you avoid confusing your dog by several people giving him the same command in various different ways.</p>
<p>You should also give out your commands in consistent terms for your dog to remember and follow.</p>
<p>2. It is important for your dog to know that you are the boss. Put simply: let him know that you, and only you, are the pack leader. Keep in mind that dogs are pack animals, and they will intuitively look to their leader if in doubt.</p>
<p>One of the things that characterize a pack leader is being responsible for food supply. Hence, in the eyes of your dog, you can strengthen your position as pack leader by eating before he does.</p>
<p>3. You need to use positive reinforcements. You should reward good behavior and ignore unwanted behavior. Refrain from punishing your dog for disobedience. Instead, show him that good behavior would earn him treats and praises while bad behavior will get him none. Using positive reinforcements will also strengthen the bond between you and your dog.</p>
<p>4. Sometimes dog training is not an easy task. You certainly have to be both persistent and consistent. Getting upset at your dog will not speed up the process. Try to stay calm and keep working at the commands patiently. Know that the process will take time and that your dog most likely will not learn the commands overnight.</p>
<p>Yes, it is true&#8230; dog training may not be super, super easy. But always keep in mind how much better your life -and that of your dog- will be once you have trained him properly.</p>
<p>Learn more about <a target='_blank' href='http://www.hundeerziehungohnestress.de'>Hundeerziehung</a>. Stop by Dirk Gruenberg&#8217;s site where you can find out all about dog traing. There is also lots of free information concerning common behavioral issues such as biting, barking, jumping on people, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A happy dog is a well trained dog and just choosing to make this happen is a step in the right direction! Too many dogs are left untrained and jump on everyone, chew end tables and bark all night! Your dog will be better off once trained and of course, so will you. So read on for some fabulous ideas on how to make the job of training your dog a little less hectic!</p>
<p>Anxious dogs might benefit from having music played when you leave. Classical music is proven to be soothing for a variety of species, and dogs are no exception. Calm, soothing classical music played at a mellow volume might be a benefit to your dog and keep the house from being silent while you&#8217;re gone.</p>
<p>Once your dog begins to master the commands you are giving him, change locations. Train him in a different room of the house, on your driveway, midway on your walk, in the park. Each new location offers new distractions. He might have trouble initially offering the behaviors, but soon he&#8217;ll be able to ignore the distractions, and he will be able to focus more on listening to your commands.</p>
<p>Your dog is the product of many generations of domestication and breeding. If you have a purebred or mixed dog, tailor your training efforts to your dog&#8217;s personality. For example, herding dogs may need more work to release energy that would otherwise go to herding efforts to make something like taking leashed walks easier.</p>
<p>It is important to keep your dog training sessions short, it is better to have three ten minute sessions than one thirty minute session. Your dog is not a human and they will tend to lose interest quickly, by making sessions shorter you will make more progress in your training efforts.</p>
<p>Some training techniques advise that you give your dog a treat as a reward for good performance. This is a great method, but be sure you&#8217;re not giving your dog a treat every time they perform the task. If you do, they come to expect the treat each time and when you stop with the treats, the obedience stops as well. Instead give the dog a treat randomly so that they don&#8217;t begin to expect when they get a treat.</p>
<p>If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, an easy way to train them out of it is to avoid giving them attention immediately before and after you leave. It may seem mean to the dog if you don&#8217;t say goodbye before you leave, but those long goodbye cuddles just give the dog a chance to get worked up.</p>
<p>To keep your dog from biting at furniture or people, or scratching at doors, spray him or her with a bottle of water. This will teach your dog that there are certain behaviors that are unacceptable. Soon your dog will stop these behaviors and you&#8217;ll have a playful yet obedient dog.</p>
<p>If you are tired of finding that your new pair of shoes has become a chewed up drool-covered dog toy, it is probably time to invest in chew toys. Chew toys are a great way for dogs to fulfill their urge to chew, while not ruining your things. For an even more enticing chew toy, buy one that you fill with peanut butter or treats, which will make him more likely to choose the toy over your shoes.</p>
<p>When you are training your dog, do not blame it for bad behavior if it is sick. You should never force a dog to do obedience training when it is not feeling well. Take your dog to the vet to see what is making it sick, and put off the training until it is doing better.</p>
<p>The advice in this article is meant to help you improve your dog&#8217;s training. A dog&#8217;s behavior is reflective of its owner&#8217;s ability (and willingness) to control it. Although it may be hard to be strict on your furry little friend, you both will benefit from it at the end.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dogs love to do two things, play around, and of course they like to sleep! So you really need to make sure they have a nice place to go and have a nap when they start to get tired. If you get them a bed they really love then you won&#8217;t have to put up with them sleeping on your bed or your couch, and it is also important that they have a place that is their own little bedroom they can retreat to when they need some space (for instance if they are feeling ill or maybe they have been scared by something). </p>
<p>It is not always the easiest thing to choose though a dog bed, there are so many different designs and materials to choose from that picking one your dog really adores might be tough. Below are some tips we&#8217;ve collected on how to pick the perfect bed:</p>
<p>Does your dog have a special sleeping spot?: Dogs all have their own personalities, which means they have their own likes and dislikes too, so if they don&#8217;t like the bed that you have purchased then you can do very little to change their mind. Once you tire of trying to get them to love that new bed then take some time to check out where they do like to sleep.</p>
<p>If they always tend to sleep in a corner somewhere then maybe they need a bed which has higher sides to make them feel safer? </p>
<p>Make sure there is enough padding in it to allow them to be comfortable: Some dog beds look really uncomfortable, they are basically an oversized bucket! Dogs like to be comfortable just like us, so if you do buy one of those kind then consider getting some sort of cushion lining for it so they can be more comfortable. The more comfortable you make it the more likely they are to enjoy spending time in it.</p>
<p>Make sure it is not going to be chewed up:  Having a dog who likes to chew things is tough, if they are relatively large they will have powerful jaws and will make short work of most beds. That is why you can find <a href='http://www.indestructibledogbeds.com' target='_blank'>indestructible dog beds</a> for sale now. There are a few different types, one has a metal frame around the outside with fabric stretched over it to make the area they sleep on, that stops them chewing from the edges in as they&#8217;d have to chew through the metal. Then you have others which are just a stronger and thicker kind of plastic, or super tough cushions.</p>
<p> Hopefully now you can find the ideal bed for your furry little friend and they can get a good nights sleep in comfort!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If a labrador intended to become a household pet needs regular <a href='http://www.labradorretrieversavvy.com/labrador-retriever-training.html' target='_blank'>labrador retriever training</a>, without a doubt the one chosen to become a working dog needs more. Dogs that are expected to do tasks like tracking and detection or guiding persons with disabilities ought to undergo specialized and more rigorous training in addition to mastering the basic obedience commands such as sit, stay and down as well as tricks like crawl, shake, wave, roll over and shake hands.</p>
<p>Labrador retrievers are commonly utilized as working dogs because of their intelligence and good temperament. But despite that fact, lab owners ought to understand that not all of them are fit for training meant for potential working dogs much more become one. Dogs that will be included in the training should meet certain criteria such as age bracket and should undergo blood work, X-ray and other physical assessment to find out their physical and mental condition early on.</p>
<p>Whether you would want your pet to aid those with disabilities or to help law enforcers through tracking and detection, socialization must be carried out appropriately. Getting them accustomed to the presence of many people, other animals, places and instances as early as possible is a very major factor for successful <a href='http://www.labradorretrieversavvy.com' target='_blank'>labrador retriever training</a>. Furthermore, it helps in figuring out what specific line of work best suits your pet.</p>
<p>If observation shows that the dog is better off as guide dog or disabled-assistant, the next move is focused on training the pet to avoid distractions and improving the memory and concentration for longer durations. Guide dogs are expected to;</p>
<p>- protect the handler</p>
<p>- guide him/her when crossing the street</p>
<p>- avoid road danger like holes and overhanging obstacles</p>
<p>- guide the handler to the elevator</p>
<p>- rest quietly when the handler is sitting down</p>
<p>hence it helps if your pooch is well versed to such situations. Since it&#8217;s very important for guide dogs to stay calm when doing the tasks expected from them, it is therefore important to train them to ignore distractions and focus on the work ahead no matter what happens. If a labrador can&#8217;t proceed with guide dog training for some reasons, more often, he ends up as household pet and could be trained to become therapy dog alternatively. Therapy dogs main task is to provide affection and comfort to people who are sick in hospitals, retirement homes, disaster areas as well as schools.</p>
<p>Today, many labrador retrievers have become part of law enforcement agencies. With correct <a href='http://www.labradorretrieversavvy.com/labrador-retriever-training.html' target='_blank'>labrador retriever training</a> as well as the dog&#8217;s natural ability and characteristics, surely he can do several tasks to aid police and other law-enforcement personnel. Jobs of police dogs include;</p>
<p>- search and rescue dog (SAR)</p>
<p>- detection dog</p>
<p>- cadaver dog</p>
<p>Knowing tips about training is not enough to ensure success. As owner, it is equally important to have a great deal of patience in order to withstand frustrations and many hours of training.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Herding dogs are born with the instinct to herd. Herding dogs are usually used in farms and the countryside to herd cattle or sheep. Basically most owners of herding dogs use audible command tools to train their dogs because of the nature of the herding job.</p>
<p>Dog training commands should be short, concise and enunciated clearly if your dog is going to respond to it. Some dog handlers train their dogs in French or German. Dog training commands are designed to be comprehensible to the dog in order for it to respond favorably.</p>
<p>Some dog owners are delighted when their dogs exhibit tricks. You can train your dog to do several tricks such as shaking a stranger&#8217;s hand if you want to. Dogs that perform tricks endear themselves fast to people around.</p>
<p>Teaching your dogs how to perform tricks keeps it busy. You may decide to train your dog for the purpose of entertainment just as circus dog owners do. Whatever reason you have for training your dog to perform tricks, ensure that you don&#8217;t put it under any undue pressure.</p>
<p>Dogs are overly intelligent creatures with the ability to learn a command in any language. Dogs cannot be hindered in languages and can respond as excellently to a command in Sweden as to a command in English.</p>
<p>Much outrage has been expressed over the manufacture of the electronic collar because it perceived by some as an inappropriate tool for training dogs. The electronic collar is called remote dog training by its manufacturers and is used to train a dog from a considerable distance. The currents that an electronic collar releases are not lethal to the dog.</p>
<p>Prong or pinch collar is a dog training device that helps to put a dog in check in order to prevent it from acting in a way that you don&#8217;t like. The prong collar consists of metal inks that fit together by connecting teeth which point upwards towards the dog&#8217;s neck. The prong collar basically pokes the dog into action.</p>
<p>The electronic collar has been likened to the tens unit tool of a chiropractor which is not used to cause pain but to aid it. The electronic collar can be used to get a dog up on its feet if it has been dragging it around too much. You can use an electronic collar to direct your dog&#8217;s attention to you in the process of especially if it is deaf.</p>
<p>In training your dog, you should endeavor to look at everything from the dog&#8217;s perspective and not your own. Understanding how your dog thinks and acts enables you to train it successfully. Don&#8217;t be cruel in giving a dog confusing commands just to see how it will act&#8230;that will only render your dogs useless in responding to your commands.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect your dog to immediately jump to obey your every command especially if they are new to them. You should realize that your dog needs adequate time to get used to the commands you are teaching it. Getting impatient with your dog each time you fail to get it to respond will only make it tensed up during training.</p>
<p>&#8220;And at this time I want to invite you to get your No cost Immediate access to terrific <a target='_blank' href="http://www.doghousetraining.org/house-training-a-puppy-in-less-than-a-week/">dog house training</a> when you stop by <a target='_blank' href="http://www.doghousetraining.org/">http://www.DogHouseTraining.org</a> &#8211; From Michael Kenssington &#8211; The Dog House Training Guy along with the Dog Training Network.&#8221;</p>
