Behavior

While every dog is trainable, not every owner has the time to put towards really making sure their dog understands what is expected of her.

Even when a dog has been with a dog trainer, it is always best to ask before petting a strangers dog. Here are the reasons behind this truth.

Life with a well-behaved dog has its rewards. You can trust him to respond reliably and quickly, plus you’ll have a dog who’s a joy to live with.

Dogs shouldn't just toggle between sleeping and crazy time, there needs to be an in between! Every dog (like humans) needs an off switch. It's a healthy practice for us and for them.

Yes, it is important the way a training collar or any type of restraint is fit to your dog. Not only will it render it ineffective but it can also be dangerous.

If you have a dog that struggles with fear or anxiety, a muzzle can actually be a great tool. While they are ideal for dogs that are working on biting, they can also be useful for perfectly behaved dogs that might occasionally have an issue with certain situations.

Have you ever observed your dog get into a spat with another dog? If you have more than one dog in a house, you’ve likely seen them get into a fight at least once.

This is an especially useful command if your dog is over excited about visitors, often tries to bolt out the door when you open it, barks at the door if she sees or hears a person or animal outside, or is underfoot while cooking or cleaning.
