DOG TRAINING ADVICE

Do a search for “dog training techniques” or “dog training advice” and you will find many solutions and various types of dog training help.But first you must establish yourself as the alpha male in the eyes of your dog before you can change his behaviour.

There are few things in life as simple and as straightforward as the relationshipbetween someone and their dog. The pure, raw emotion that exists between them issuch that, when something is not quite right, both the dog and the owner will oftenfeel the problems associated with the imbalance.

To many people, the immediate response to a behavioural problem in a dog is toblame someone or something else. It’s because the dog isn’t a “good” breed orbecause the rest of the family isn’t following the rules. But, in reality, dogs arereflections of us. As pack animals, dogs react and interact based almost entirely onwhat they perceive around them. They don’t have the same emotions as we do -they have instincts, and those instincts have developed over centuries to respond tohow their owners act.

With that in mind, it comes down to the owner to claim control and be the alpha dogin their household. And this is where the problem lies for so many dogs and their behaviour issues.

For the best dog training advice – find information written by a professional dog trainer.Someone who has actually worked with and trained various breeds of dogs.

Your dog is a smart animal, but it is an animal first and foremost. As you develop theskills to act like the dominant animal, you’ll be able to show your dog that these behaviours are not okay and change them through dog obedience training

Dog breeding can be an interesting challenge, and if you are seriously considering it, you should know that it may take 15 or 20 years to see if you have bred a finer quality of animal over time because of the “selective breeding” decisions you made. Although you will never achieve Breed Standard, it should be your guide all through the course of your business.

How dog breeders succeed

Besides being in the business for the long haul, successful breeders enjoy spending time and energy with the breed they have chosen because they really love what they do. Also, their choice of breed is based on many factors, including the climate they live in and the amount of space they have for breeding. Remember, too, that every breed has its own set of potential health problems.

The most practical approach is to begin your breeding stock with the best quality dogs you can find. Research those reputable breeders who show their dogs and can list American Kennel Club (AKC) titled champions. Since a dog’s temperament (which is closely related to genetics) is an important consideration, look for one that seems self-confident, mellow rather than high-strung, and lovable.

To start, learn as much as you can about the breed you have chosen, and become totally familiar with the Breed Standard, because that will be your guide. You can talk things over with established dog breeders, study the want ads to see what the market is like, examine pedigree charts, read some good books on the topic, and spend some time at dog shows as part of your preparation. Finally, you will need to develop your own “kennel philosophy” (which is like a company’s mission statement) and complete the task by putting your standards and goals in writing.

Expenses and investments in dog breeding

Be sure that you don’t underestimate these items when you calculate the cost being a professional dog breeder. Also, plan to work with a veterinarian in caring for them, and see if a monthly payment policy can be implemented when that becomes necessary. Remember to include advertising, the cost of building, outfitting, and electrifying a kennel, liability and property insurance premiums, zoning approval, property taxes, and maintenance.

Here are some other factors to consider:

● A veterinary specialist who is board-certified must examine your dogs’ eyes for hereditary defects for a fee, and this will be updated periodically.

● A heart evaluation (generally at a university) must be done by a specialist who is board-certified. ● A one-time blood test of the dogs’ thyroid function is also required, and it can be administered at a nearby veterinary hospital.

● Both microchip and DNA must be registered with the AKC, and they are essential if you plan on using artificial insemination in breeding your dogs.

● A brucellosis test is ran prior to every breeding to show if either the male or female is a carrier of this disease, which is sexually transmitted.

● Before breeding, bring your dogs into the veterinarian for a preventive worming treatment and the required vaccinations.

Are You Really Ready To Get A Dog?

Tips for deciding if this is the right time:

* Have you done homework, such as reading about housebreaking, training, behavioral problems, and daily care of a dog? And what kinds of dogs are best for you and your family? (See suggested reading at the end.)

* Will your working hours allow enough time to provide the care and exercise a dog needs every day?

* If you have children, will you have time to provide the daily care and exercise a dog needs every day?

* Will you have enough money to cover food, toys, annual vet exams, vaccinations, monthly heartworm preventative, flea control, unexpected medical costs, grooming, training, and boarding the pet when you travel?

* Are you ready to live with a pet? Can you depend on your children not to pester a dog and let a dog out the door? Will you be able to watch the dog at all times when children visit your home?

* If considering a puppy, will you be able to arrange for midday visits — since puppies need to go out every 4 hours or so to become housebroken?

* Do you have time for obedience training and teaching house manners as necessary to help the dog become a good companion?

* Do you travel frequently, and if so, what are your plans for the dog?

* If you move, can you be sure your next place will allow dogs?

* Can you make the commitment to care for this animal for his or her lifetime?

Which Dog Is Right For You?

How to choose the best companion:

* Do you have a busy schedule or long hours? Puppies and young dogs require a lot of time and attention. Puppies can hold their bladders only 4 or 5 hours. Young dogs and even older dogs of active breeds require lots of exercise every day or behavioral problems will arise. A more mature, calmer dog will be a better choice.

* Do you have children under 12 or 14? Getting a dog is like adding another child to your household. And a puppy is even harder. Many families find that with the demands of raising children and driving them to various activities, they don’t have time to housebreak or train a puppy. And soon the little puppy becomes a big dog jumping on children and guests, begging for attention, and even getting into trouble. Obedience training is recommended for every household member, so everyone is practicing the same techniques (consistent practice is the key to training). We strongly recommend families consider a more mature dog whose size and temperament is known. A dog who seems happy, active, likes to be touched, and is not sensitive to handling and noise is typically a good choice for homes with children.

* If you want a puppy, why? No matter how adorable, all puppies grow up, and grow quickly. A cute, sweet little puppy can become a rough and difficult dog if not given consistent, effective obedience training. Being good with children is highly dependent on the breed, temperament and practicing good obedience training. If you have a busy household, a puppy is not the best choice. Puppies require more supervision and training, especially for discouraging common behavior such as jumping, chewing and nipping.

* What size is right for you? If you have children in the home, tiny breeds are a poor choice, since children can accidentally hurt the dog, and many small breeds are naturally wary of children. Choose a dog with whom the children can safely play. And size does not indicate energy level; some small boisterous terriers seem to take up more room and time than a large calm dog. If you live in an apartment or condo, look for a reasonably quiet dog — and practice techniques for avoiding separation anxiety from day one. (A dog with separation anxiety will often howl and bark, as well as destroy things out of fear, when left alone.)

* What about fur? Regardless of size, certain breeds require more grooming. And if you have allergies, think twice about getting a dog. While many believe that a dog who sheds less will be easier on allergies, the allergic reactions are triggered by dander and urine. Many people with allergies do fine with their dogs, but it helps to keep the house vacuumed, keep pets off your bed, use dander neutralizers on the fur, and to wash hands after petting the dog.

What Supplies Will You Need?

Supplies you’ll need before bringing a dog home:

* I.D. tag with your address and phone number. A dog should wear this at all times.

* Fitted collar (buckle is better than adjustable). Its key function is to hold the all-important I.D. tag.

* Leash. Choose one that’s comfortable on your hands. Choose a 4 or 6-foot. Retractable leashes are unreliable for active/larger dogs.

* Head harness, choker collar or neck/chest harness. Use one for walking the dog. Don’t keep chain collars on the dog except for walking; the dog can get injured.

* Crate (we recommend the folding wire type), or baby gates. Choose a safe, secure place to confine the dog when you cannot watch him for the first few days or weeks until you can allow freer roam. Confine the dog in a family area, such as a family room or kitchen. Never in a basement (confining in damp, darker quarters lead to housebreaking/behavioral problems), never in a garage, never left outside unattended.

* Bowls for water and food.

* Comb and brush.

* Dog bed.

* Decent brand of food (the better the food, the healthier the dog).

What Medical Care Will the Dog Need?

All PAW dogs come with a medical history record. PAW dogs receive rabies and DHLPP vaccinations, a heartworm test and spay/neuter (as medically appropriate for the dog’s age). We put the dogs over age 3 months on monthly heartworm preventative. The adopter agrees to do the recommended medical work after adoption, which includes spay/neuter and shots for puppies adopted before old enough for PAW to do this. In addition, the adopter will obtain a heartworm pill supply and register the dog at the adopter’s vet within 2 weeks of adoption, and then visit the vet for annual exams and vaccinations, as well as for any special medical care or emergencies.

How to Set “Home Rules”:

Before bringing a dog home, work out doggie duties in advance with the other members of your household. Decide: who will walk the dog…exercise the dog…feed the dog…and when? Which areas of the house are off-limits? Where will the dog sleep? Will the dog be allowed on furniture? Tip: Don’t allow the dog on furniture until the dog has begun obedience training and the people in the home have established themselves as leaders of the pack. Trainers warn that when a dominant dog sleeps on the people’s beds, the dog may consider herself equal or greater in leadership than the humans in the house.

Start day one by teaching your dog appropriate behavior through consistent, positive reinforcement.

Planning for a Successful Homecoming:

If you have other pets, arrange the homecoming so that your other dogs can meet the new dog on neutral territory. If you have cats, make sure your cats have a safe haven to escape from the dog. Keep the leash on the dog indoors for the first hours or days (only when you’re with him), and give a swift firm leash correction if the dog attempts to threaten the cats or engage in other undesirable behavior. To avoid other pets becoming jealous, be sure to pay attention to them too.

Schedule your time so you can introduce the new dog to his potty place, the yard, the house, his crate, as well as all household members. Practice putting him in the crate, leaving awhile, and returning. Teach him that is natural for the people to leave the house, and that they will come back. This will help the dog avoid separation anxiety. Resist the urge to spending all of the first day or weekend with the dog; leave the house for varying periods at the beginning so he gets the idea you will eventually return, and that he doesn’t have to fear being alone.

Helping the Dog Adjust:

* Exercise. Plan plenty of play time for your dog, every day. Go for long walks; go jogging (on-leash of course). Find an enclosed area to play ball. A well-exercised dog is happier, healthier, and far less prone to behavioral problems.

Do not play tug-o-war, rough-house, or play other games that encourage aggression and teach your dog to challenge you.

* Time out. if you have guests, or active children, monitor the dog to make sure he’s not getting too tired or nervous. Sometimes, dogs signal “enough” by nipping, so try to not let things reach that point. If the dog seems like he wants a rest, let him relax alone.

* Family membership. Treat your dog as a member of the family, an indoor resident. Don’t leave a dog outside unattended; a dog can eventually learn to escape the yard or someone can harm or take him. It’s not worth the risk.

* Training essentials. Like children, dogs depend on adults to teach them good behavior. Remember that dogs need order. They like routine. And they are pack animals who need to know that someone is leader of the pack. If the human doesn’t act as the “alpha,” the dog will be confused, and may try to take charge. Teach your dog from the start that you are the leader of the pack, the one on whom he can depend for guidance and protection (not the other way around). Don’t be harsh, and never hit a dog. Instead, teach your dog using consistent, positive reinforcement.

Whenever the dog engages in something unacceptable, nip that in the bud immediately. Give him a leash correction. Warn him in a loud, disapproving voice — Ah-AH-AHH! or NO! Then instruct him to do something good, such as “sit”, and praise as soon as he obeys. Substitute a positive behavior for the negative one.

Reward him for good behavior. “Rover, good boy!” and a pat on the head or neck rub. Give him ample, regular opportunities to “do good.” Teach him commands such as “sit” and “stay” and “down” — then practice them frequently so he can earn your praise. And “no free lunch” — have him perform a simple act of obedience before giving him a treat or his meal.

* Housebreaking. Read all you can about housebreaking. Even a dog considered housebroken can have accidents. Learning effective, humane techniques is NOT hard — and taking the time upfront will pay off by speeding up the housebreaking process.

Trainers now recommend Crate Training for effective housebreaking. The dog is confined in a wire crate, kept in a well-lighted family area, for short periods of time. This technique utilizes a dog’s instinct to avoiding messing in his den. He’ll try to hold it until you let him out and take him to an approved potty spot (use the same area at the beginning to convey the message). Remember that puppies can’t hold it for more than a few hours, so work up gradually. Do not crate a dog for more than 5 hours at a time.

* Destruction & Aggression. A dog cannot do damage if you don’t allow this to happen. Watch your new dog carefully — and keep her in a kitchen, in a crate or other secure area if you can’t attend to her, with chew toys to keep her busy.

Don’t encourage rough or wild behavior. To avoid bites, don’t place your face near the dog’s face until you’ve started obedience training, taught him acceptable behavior and established yourself and other humans in the home as higher in the hierarchy. In other words, until you’ve earned the dog’s respect. Tell everyone in your home to abide by this advice.

Remember: many dogs have not had the luck to be socialized yet. Their baggage may include unacceptable behaviors you must watch for, and then retrain with the help of books and professionals.

* Safety. Remove dangerous objects from a dog’s reach. Always keep a dog on-leash when outdoors in unfenced areas; watch even in a fenced yard.

The Key to a Happy Relationship: Commitment!

The keys to success are consistency — and commitment. Be committed in helping your dog adjust and in integrating him into the family. Realize this living being is counting on you…that nobody is perfect…and that adjustment and training take time. Sign up for obedience training from the start.

Enter pet ownership as a lifetime commitment. Don’t get a dog until you’re sure you have the resources and time to care for this animal for the rest of his or her life. In return, you will be rewarded with unconditional love.

About the Author

Dogs were not a part of my life as I was growing up I was a cat person. Everything changed the day when I was visiting a local animal shelter.

I never want to visit a shelter as I feel so helpless looking at the lovely pets wanting to share their love and affection. I want to take them all home.

That morning, I walked past several dogs, some jumping up to greet me, just asking for attentionand love. Some were sitting in the confinement of their crate, just looking sad, and wondering what they did wrong to be here.

One dog, called Spike, a one year old German Shepherd, and Collie mix was just sitting anddid not make any movement to me.

I inquired about Spike, and found he was given for adoption because he ate too much and the family could not afford him.Spike was a black and brown dog with a lot of love in his eyes.

I asked to see Spike; I waited anxiously to visit with this beautiful one-year-old dog.

After waiting a few minutes, the door opened and in came Spike. The first thing he did was jump up on the bench then he kissed my face. He was so happy to be out of his confinement that he looked at me and seemed to say, “Lets, go home.”

Once I saw his eyes, filled with love and questions, I had to adopt him.

That moment changed my life forever.

I started Smiling Dog Bakery to make all natural dog treats, dog birthday party kits and a complete line of products with the inspiration of Spike.

I have also written other books to honor our best friends and kids with tails.

My other books include “Pampered Pooch Parties” to celebrate dog birthday parties and special occasions with our dogs and “The Well Trained Pet Guardian” a fun look at dog training as told by your dog.

Taking your dog with you when you travel, whether you go by land, air or sea, can present real problems. I know – I do 100k miles a year, and most of them I get to take Beck with me. It’s worth the extra hassle, no question. But what tips can I offer you?

Air travel with your dog

It takes most dogs a long time to get used to traveling by plane. It took Beck about 6 flights before he stopped getting stressed about it. The big thing is to make sure your dog knows that it’s just a temporary thing – to a woofer, a flight can seem to last forever! Each airline has their own set of rules – you need to check these before the flight. No good turning up and finding you are denied access to the plane because you didn’t bone up on the regs!

Number one tip is – get a vet to sign a health certificate for your dog certifying that he has no diseases. Also make sure the dog is up to scratch on his anti-flea programme, and bring documentary evidence with you if you can. No airline wants a flea infested plane! Check his dog tags. Make sure YOUR contact details are there and easy to read. If you do get separated, this ensures you’ll be re-united fast. For the same reason, you carry a photo of your dog in your wallet.

Number 2 tip – no food for Fido for 6 hours before the flight, and no water for 2 hours before. We wouldn’t want any nasty ‘accidents’ now, would we???!!! Also put a note on his crate saying what his eating and drinking needs are – if the flight gets delayed, the ground staff will have a duty to live up to these.

Number 3 tip – buy a crate big enough for your dog to stand up in. Only buy custom made crates from your pet shop. Buy one that is designed for the rigors of air transport. NEVER try to ‘get by’ with any old crate. Trust me – your dog will thank you for the gift! Also remember that the airline you are using may have specific requirements for cases that go in the hold. Check the livestock regs.

Car Travel with your Dog

Tip 1 – Just like air travel, make sure your dog has all his ID with him, and you carry a photo. Even in the car, keep him leashed. Dogs have been known to get excited and leap out the window. Bad things happen on the freeway!

Tip 2 – Always book your hotel or motel ahead of time. If they don’t allow dogs, you will be turned away whether or not you have a booking. I learned this the hard way with Beck – sleeping in a car ain’t fun!

Tip 3 – acclimatization. Get your dog used to trips – start out with short trips, and gradually extend them. Let him experience the aircon, and maybe even stick his head out the window (dogs love this – make sure he’s on the leash first, and that there is no contra traffic!)

These tips have enabled Beck and I to enjoy many great trips together, and believe me, it’s nice to have some company on those long empty miles! If you like Beck, please vote for him on the petmillions.com contest at Vote for Beck in the petmillions contest!

This is a point, some breeds might be far more aggressive than some others. Territorial problems are incredibly usually the induce of aggressive conduct in canines. It really is in the dog’s nature to declare and set up their very own territory, and when this territory is threatened it may frequently end in the puppy lashing out at other canines (or persons) who phase into their domain. An individual factor the canine operator should bear in mind, is usually that should the puppy thinks he’s alpha on the pack, he’ll come to feel obligated since the leader in the pack to defend the domain. Should the puppy sees you, the operator, as leader from the pack, then he’ll know it is really okay while you take foreigners in to the domain.

So how do you flip the table, and make your puppy see you because the alpha? Most of all, you should venture the electricity that you’re the relaxed, assertive, in handle leader to generate the respect from the puppy to find out you as alpha. After you get your canine on the stroll, tend not to allow him stroll in front of you, alpha prospects. Once you stroll via your front door, ensure that you go initial, then you certainly give permission in your puppy to arrive by means of once you say it is okay. Tend not to allow your puppy rest with you, as this could confuse the pecking purchase in his head. The alpha canine sleeps on your own and constantly has the top option of bedding. Tiny by small with endurance and repetition the apply of those methods will at some point allow your canine know who’s boss, and ideally provide you with far more manage about your aggressive dog’s conduct.

Obtaining a hard time for you to get your canine to avoid biting? Welcome on the club. Puppy biting is often a completely acquainted matter and has to be handled as promptly as you possibly can particularly in case your pooch continues to be a wee pup.

My Labrador, Brylow employed to bit me the many time. His bite was not solid ample to truly damage me, nevertheless it was surely jolting, to not point out irritating. Now in case your dog’s biting conduct is pushing you into the verge of sending it to nearest shelter, Quit. First of all you may need to determine why your puppy is acting by doing this.

Is there a particular motion that’s producing your canine to change to “bite mode”, like a hug as an illustration? Some canines will not be to eager on staying hugged and would react that has a bite. Additionally you have to have the ability to distinguish in case the canine is exhibiting indications of currently being beneath anxiety. It is really extensively acknowledged that pressure may be the most important purpose dogs’ exhibit aggression which prospects to regular nipping and biting.

Average indications of worry and aggression consist of regular growling, barking, extreme grooming, and restless pacing. If worry is simply not the underlying trigger then it can be surely a typical instance of the dominant puppy pondering it is the leader with the family. The adhering to puppy instruction strategies for biting need to get treatment on the dilemma.

I hugely propose which you train your puppy 20 to forty minutes each day. Those that won’t be able to uncover time may well choose to train in various 5 to ten minutes periods every day. Get your canine to understand a number of individuals common instructions which include sit, remain and arrive.

Demonstrate leadership

One of several critical puppy instruction strategies for biting will be to impose guidelines and restrictions on your own dominant canine. Make certain the canine accomplish a command so as to get what he desires e.g. he should sit just before remaining fed or he needs to reply to your contact previous to obtaining a deal with or possibly a cuddle.

Timing is crucial

That has a stern voice notify your puppy to cease but you should not yell or shout at it. Will not dilly-dally possibly, as it is really worthless for making the correction minutes right after the deed is completed.

Be consistent

Put in place coaching and feeding routine and adhere to them continually. Free of charge feeding will only make your canine extra dominant and spoilt.

Yelping helps

Without delay yelp out anytime your puppy bits you. This act will unquestionably deter your puppy from biting and it’s going to possible give up the behavior just after some time.

Then, I finally discovered musical canine freestyle. It is the best of obedience, agility and trick training and adds in some musical creativity and dance! My dogs loved it! You can start training puppies in canine freestyle early on and really jumpstart their learning. It really helped me burn my two aussies energy and make them more connected with me from the start. Mental exercise is far more stimulating than pure physical exercise and helps you get energetic or hyper dogs and puppies to expend their energy and become calm cuddle buddies much faster and easier.

Musical Canine Freestyle is a dog sport in which you do creative heelwork to music and add in all sorts of fun tricks like sit, lay, spin, jumps, leg weaves, and circle around, etc. The choreography of the routine is up to you to create and has very few limitations. You get to chose what actions work well for you and your dog and select music that compliments its movements so it looks like he is dancing.

Clicker training is the most efficient way to train your dog to dance. Trainers have found they can teach their dogs in a matter of minutes and weeks what it used to take forever to teach using clicker training methods. Clicker training is a positive reward based training system. During training, never give any punishments or use negative reinforcement. Your goal is to make your dog to look and be happy about his training time. Learning tricks and cool moves is always an optional thing for your dog to do. Some moves and tricks might be hard for him to do and may not be well suited for your dog. Listen to your dog and if you think that something is not right for him, move on to something else. Remember many moves and tricks can tax your dog’s body so be sure they are age appropriate and stop when youre ahead. You don’t want your dog to be sore after training. It might dampen his enthusiasm in the future.

When clicker training your dog to dance, use good rewards. Food works best for most dogs. Use something that is really smelly and tasty like real chicken, hot dogs, liver, turkey, and cheese. The treats need to be cut up into small bite size easy to swallow bits. It’s best to use real food, for two main reasons: for one it is soft and easy to swallow, the second is it is healthier, cheaper, and tastier than store bought dog treats. Don’t skimp on the treats either. Keep the rewards coming to keep your dog engaged and to be giving him as much positive feedback for what he is doing as possible. For dogs not motivated by food rewards use what works for them. It may be playing with their favorite toy such as a tug toy, squeaky toy or Frisbee. He may love working for your praise and attention alone. It is good to have a variety of foods and toys to keep the treat basket interesting longer and keep your dog engaged longer.

The clicker training formula for training tricks is lure, mark, reward. We use the clicker to mark each behavior we desire. You can also use a marker word such as yes to mark good behaviors. It is recommended to use the praise, pet, treat sequence of reward. By using this reward sequence, we are being highly rewarding for our dogs during training and it is easier to transition to praise and petting rewards in the future.

Your marker word needs to be a word you do not normally use except to mark desired behaviors. I use a marker word for behaviors and moves my dog already knows when we are practicing. He does not always receive a treat immediately during these practices. My marker word is yes. My reward and praise word is good. I use good as positive encouragement when training as well. Remember to be happy and enthusiastic during dog training sessions. Your dog picks up on your energy and feeds it back to you.

I use the clicker as my marker when training new skills or working to make moves more precise. The benefit of a clicker is that it is not produced naturally in nature, so the dog is not already desensitized to it. It is a unique sound easy to hear and recognize by your dog. We charge the clicker by clicking and treating a few times to get the dog’s attention and get him excited about the clicker. We do this by clicking and treating several times. Now, your dog is ready to respond well to the clicker. Timing is critical when clicker training in that you want to click on the exact behavior you want, if you are slow you may click once the behavior has passed and your dog thinks you are rewarding him for a different often undesired behavior. Be sure to reward after every click, even accidental ones. You don’t want your dog thinking he has to make you click multiple times in order to get a treat.

Once you get more advanced, you can train behaviors using the shaping methods. With this method you click and reward for each action that is a closer approximation to the end behavior you desire. Example, if you are teaching your dog to bow, you may first click and treat for his head going down, then his head moving down further, then his body stretching back, then for a slight bow, etc.. until the dog is bowing in the correct position. With the shaping method, you are not luring the dog, but marking the dog for doing the action on his own and getting closer and closer to the end goal. This procedure takes more patience and knowledge about what successive approximations to go for when teaching new behaviors. Many trainers agree that using this method gets your dog thinking more and results in an easier to train and more solidly trained dog down the line. Personally, I use a combination of luring and shaping depending upon the behaviors.

Using clicker training methods, you will have your dog dancing in no time.

Free stuff can be anything, I have received some free stuff from time to time with a purchase just as many people have, and I think most of it is very cheap and not very useful.
I have found one good way to use that free stuff I dont want; I participate in secret Santa every year and it seems I always manage to pull a name of someone I do not know, so how in the world would I be able to buy something for them. Plus theres that added bonus of having a $ 10 purchase limit (that the company has set.) What a predicament, I take the unused free stuff wrap it up and give it as a gift. Nothing wasted here.

Some of the best stuff, in my opinion, is gift certificates. Gift certificates for food, is always a hit, then theres the gift certificates that offer a percentage off of a purchase. I dont like the certificates that have you purchase a certain item, and then you get a discount. Those dont work as gifts unless you know that the receiver of the gift certificate is looking to purchase that item.

Now if youre a company owner and selling a product or two, then you need to think about giving free incentives to your customers. This is becoming a trend and people are looking for them.

Some of the best free gifts are for kids, you can get very inexpensive kids toys such as blow up toys that kids can use in the bath tub or pool. These kinds of free products are pretty well received by those customers with children.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, What about those customers without children, what should I give them. Whatever it may be think about how useful it could be. One product that is always used towels. Whether they use them after a bath or not, they can be used to work on the car, dry off the dog, or mop up a spill. I think you can see where I am going with this, find a product that is versatile so your customers will be excited about the free stuff and they will tell their friends what they got. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, you know this, and free stuff counts.

Most people consider their dog to be part of the family. They love them and want to do what is best for them. The problem is many of them don’t have a clue what they should or should not be feeding them. You go out to buy them dog food and you expect that the top name brand foods would be good for your pet, but the truth is many of them are not. You need to be very careful on what you choose so that your dog will live a long and healthy life. Try to pick products that are high in protein, vitamins and minerals with a small amount of carbohydrates. Avoid any dog food that contains corn products as a filler to avoid some of the problems associated with it.

There are a lot of dogs that develop allergies to certain foods just as humans do. Corn is one of those foods that is more prone to cause them problems. Any dog food with corn products of any kind can cause some very severe reactions in sensitive dogs. Below you’ll find some interesting information that may help you make the choice of avoiding corn in your dog’s diet.

• It should be noted that just because the dog food is a brand name and very popular doesn’t mean it don’t contain corn. Many of the top brand companies use corn as a filler to add substance and weight to their dog food. Corn does nothing nutritious for your dog it actually does the opposite and causes indigestion and other related problems.

• A diet that is high in sugar content can cause diabetes in dogs. Corn is very high in sugars which not only causes your dog problems it can even end up killing them by effecting the pancreas and liver in an adverse way.

• There is also a fatal fungus known to grow on corn that will end up killing your dog. This aflatoxin fungus attacks the liver which in turn ends up killing them.

• Another thing that most dog owners don’t realize until they start seeing the effects is that long term feeding of corn may cause many other allergies. Things like moles and tumours can be found due to corn consumption. The list of different types of allergies your dog can have due to corn is extensive and makes it easy to see why it should not be used as a dog food additive.

Finding a corn free dog food is not that hard as there are many really good brands that offer that option. Brand name products like Avoderm are a great corn free choice. I do however recommend that you read ingredients before buying any type of dog food just to be on the safe side.

You may be surprised to find well known brands like Purina and Eukanuba have corn filler in them. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve seen vets prescribe this food which leads me to believe that they are not taught anything about dog nutrition in college. That is why it is always important to understand what is best for your dog before you buy anything that they will consume.

You need keep in mind that corn is only filler in the dog food. Companies add it to bulk up the food because it’s cheap and puts money in their pockets which is the bottom line. Corn aggravates your dog digestive system and gives nothing for nutrition while it slowly destroys your dog’s health. Anyone that really loves their dog will not want them to suffer. One great way of doing that is to make sure they are not being fed a diet that includes corn as one of the ingredients. If you suspect your dog is having an allergic reaction take them to the vet before changing their food and if you do happen to change the diet do so slowly to avoid putting the dog’s digestive system into shock.

Choosing the right dog can be a tedious mission, but it’s important to find the perfect match. Dog adoption process is all about looking for that special dog to share your life with. There are many things that can go wrong if you don’t do the research on the right dog for you.

One, it’s a waste of time and money. Second, shelters don’t want to see another dog being returned or given up on again. There are two types of dogs to choose to adopt from, pure breed dogs and mix dogs, or mutts. Selecting the right dog will take background research and also knowledge of the type of lifestyle the dog had prior to adopting.

There are many mutts or mix dog breeds waiting to be adopted. Finding the background and history of a mutt can be tricky and/or confusing. By far there are more benefits to adopting a mutt than a pure breed.

Mutts tend not to suffer as many health problems as pure breeds, such as diseases and genetic disorders. Put it this way, you get two or more breeds for the price of one, and one generally with better health.

Pure breeds, however, are easier to research their background and are more predictable. The American Kennel Club, or AKC, recognizes many of these pure breeds and also has information of their background and origination. Pure breeds are divided into different groups:

The sporting groups are naturally energetic and alert. Many have extraordinary intuitions in the water and the woods. All of theses breeds require regular exercise.

The hound groups were originally created to hunt. Many have amazing abilities like speed and smell. Similar to the sporting groups, hounds are naturally active and watchful. Exercise and mental challenges are a must!

The working group are dogs that where bred to perform jobs like guarding, pulling sleds, and performing rescues. Working dogs are quick learners, have strong solid bodies and make great companions. Because the majority of working dogs are large breeds, do evaluate all the possibilities: food, exercise, space, family, etc.

The terrier group is mostly composed of small or medium size dogs. Their tolerance level toward other dogs and children is low but by socializing them at an early age their tolerance level can be increase. The majority of them do require special grooming since they have wiry coats. Their energy level varies and personality too.

The toy group is composed of small or diminutive size dogs and many are feisty little things. This group is appropriate for small or compact homes. It is preferable not to adopt a toy dog if you have small children. Exercise is not as necessary but it is important. The cost and care for toy dogs is less than a larger dog.

The non-sporting group varies in size, coat, and personality too. There are no specifics on how they’re supposed to look and overall appearance. They weren’t bred for any specific purpose. However, non-sporting dogs are meant to be great companion.
