			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a new dog that once belonged to someone else and has not been bought as a puppy it will be important for you to make sure that it is properly housebroken so that it does not start defecating and urinating inside the home. If this situation has been occurring and then it is very important that you find ways to housebreak your animal. There could be a plethora of different reasons why they are doing this and the most common to all simply because they have not been trained for all have gone through some difficult times in their lives. Here are a few ways to housebreak an older dog if you are having this problem.</p>
<p>You need to remember that there are three times in the day when the dog will commonly want to use the toilet. These will be during each morning after they woke up, in the night-time prior to them sleeping, and also between half an hour and one hour after they had eaten each meal that they have. It is therefore very important that you take the dog out at each of these occasions.</p>
<p>When you do take them out at these particular times, it is very important for you to offer them the great praise when they start to go to the toilet. If you praise them each time they do so outside, they will begin to associate this as the right thing to do.</p>
<p>When the dog is in the house, try to keep it in your sight at all times. Make sure that you also restrict the animal to certain places within the house, preferably near to the doorway you take them out.</p>
<p>Any time that you do bring the dog outside and they have not used the toilet as you might expect them to have after about 15 or 20 minutes, then you should simply bring them back inside and return outside again about 20 minutes afterwards.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also important to establish a feeding schedule for the animal. Feed them at regular times of the evening, and in the morning if you desire to do so. Ensure that you keep to the schedule and that you take the animal out side as said above 30 minutes to an hour after each feeding.</p>
<p>If the dog does have an accident inside the house then you need to punish it in the correct way. Be firm but do not frighten the animal or go over the top and be physical with it. If you follow these tips correctly your dog should learn about using the toilet in the correct way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have ever owned a dog, you know how frustrating it can be when your dog has a mind of his own. A well behaved dog on the other hand is a joy to have around. The way to get a well behaved dog is through training. It&#8217;s not hard to train a dog but there are some basics that you need to know about in order to succeed. Keep reading to find out what the top 10 no fail tips on dog training are.</p>
<p>1. Begin just as soon as you bring that new puppy home. It&#8217;s crucial to establish routines immediately in order to avoid problems later on. For example, if your dog is not going to be welcome on the couch when he gets bigger, then don&#8217;t ever let him on the couch as a puppy. If you want to cuddle with him, get down on the floor with him. You want the habits he learns to be good ones, not bad ones.</p>
<p>2. Show your dog that you are the alpha male or female in the family so he listens to you. But be consistent and fair. Don&#8217;t change the rules on him. Decide on a few things at a time that are not negotiable and stick to them. If he is not allowed to beg at the table, don&#8217;t sneak him bits of food.</p>
<p>3. One of the very first things you should do is to get your new puppy used to a collar and lead as soon as you bring him home. You have so much more control when a dog is trained to accept a collar and lead.</p>
<p>4. When training your dog, have fun with him and reward his accomplishments, no matter how small they may be. Rewards can be treats, a scratch on the head, or praise. If he enjoys what you&#8217;re doing with him and can look forward to being rewarded, you will accomplish a great deal in a shorter time frame.</p>
<p>5. Patience is a quality that every single good dog trainer needs to have, and lots of it. Progress should be measured in very small steps. Your dog will not learn and remember overnight. It takes lots and lots of practice before the desired behavior will come naturally. Be sure to reinforce the targeted behavior by repeated practice and rewards.</p>
<p>6. There will be times when it will be necessary for you to discipline your dog. There are two important points to remember when it comes to discipline. First, don&#8217;t ever order your dog to come when you are preparing to discipline him. Leave this word for positives in training. Instead go to him. Second, hitting does not have a place in dog training. If you hit your dog as a form of discipline, he will learn to be afraid of you. This will not work with dog training.</p>
<p>7. Whenever you start a new session of training, the first thing to do is to quickly review the behaviors that your pet has already mastered. Then as always, reward him and move on to something new.</p>
<p>8. Never extend the training session too long. If you sense that your pet is tiring or losing interest you will be farther ahead in the long run, ending the session than urging him to keep going. Be sure to have him carry out a simple command at the end of the lesson, give him his reward, and then spend a few minutes just having fun with him.</p>
<p>9. Teaching him commands such as &#8220;sit, stay, come, and down&#8221;, first will make other lessons easier. Once he has learned these commands and responds consistently to each of them, you can then move onto more complex tricks or commands.</p>
<p>10. It&#8217;s important for the success of your training program to only give your pet a reward when he executes a command correctly. If he knows that you will reward him whether he sits on command or not, he has no real reason to sit if he doesn&#8217;t feel like sitting.</p>
<p>By following these tips on dog training, you can be sure of having success in your quest to have a well behaved dog. And really wouldn&#8217;t you rather have a dog that listens to you than one who doesn&#8217;t?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aggressive dogs and children do not mix. If your dog is acting aggressive then there are a couple of ways to handle the problem.</p>
<p>The first option would be to get rid of your dog (not recommended). While this is not the option most people choose it is something some people do.</p>
<p>If you do decide that the only way you can handle your aggressive dog is by getting rid of him then make sure he lands in a nice, safe home. You should never just let your dog go out the door. It is true that dogs are from wild animals but we have pretty well breed that out of them so it would be very unsafe for a dog alone out in the wild.</p>
<p>An even better option would be to train your dog or have a dog trainer train him. There are a variety of different dog training classes you can take you dog to or you can train him in your own home.</p>
<p>One type of dog training is clicker training. If clicker dog training is done correctly you will see a major improvement in your dog&#8217;s behavior. The beauty of clicker training your dog is that after a while of using the clicker you will have a dog that listens to your commands without the need of using the clicker or dog treats.</p>
<p>When you are doing clicker dog training timing is everything. If you do not get this right then you will be basically wasting your time and effort.</p>
<p>When your dog follows your command you need to immediately click your clicker and administer a treat to your dog. If you click to late your dog will only know that you are being very nice and giving him lots of treats.</p>
<p>You also should keep the clicker tucked in your hand so your dog can not see it. Another thing you can do is click using your tongue when your dog has gotten accustomed to the sound of clicking.</p>
<p>No matter how you plan on training your dog you should always use positive training methods. Using negative methods to train your dog will not only hurt your dog but he will get steadily worse behaved as time goes on.</p>
<p>When <a href="http://safedogobedienceadvice.com/dog-training-barking">dog training barking</a> is usually high on the list of behaviors that have to go.
