Your dog must be kept and trained to obey basic commands, be confident and sociable with humans and other dogs and have good manners in public and home. The quality of your life and your family, friends and neighbors, depends on good training and socializing your dog.

Treat your dog as a family member.

Dogs are social animals and packaging must be treated as a single family. They are not made for live alone and relegated to life on a leash or tied in a back yard for hours at a time.

Obviously the dog training should begin as soon as possible, ideally when your dog is still a puppy. It Several training programs available online, and you can also find books on training or find a local dog trainer.

It is important that your dog learns what not to do so as soon as possible:

Chewing - Do not allow chewing on something other than chew toys you've given him! Provide your dog with safe chew toys such as Nylabone and Kong, and immediately remove anything that tries to chew.

Once you allow the dog to chew something other than what you gave him permission to chew, you opened the door to destruction. Dogs can be trained early to understand everything the house is off-limits toys, food, bones, etc. that you have provided. This also includes the issues of dominance and submission.

Because the puppies want naturally need to chew because they are teething, they must be equipped with safety of toys to chew. While you do not monitor your puppy, make sure it is secure in his cage with lots of chew toys dog safe. Never leave puppies and untrained dogs free courses at home. You do not want to leave a young child alone and the same control principles apply to dogs younger or untrained.

Also, be sure to remove any dangerous objects play areas for your puppy, such as: electric son, poisons, small pieces that can be swallowed and poisonous plants.

Begging for Food - Again, the dogs should eat the food you give them and not be allowed to beg for food from you by staring, whining, or asking you to eat from your plate. If you start feeding a puppy or dog from your plate, you encourage begging. I trained my dog not interested in me or anyone else who is eating, just looking at him and say: "Stop!" until he looks away. It is clear he is not authorized to beg for food. A dog should not be allowed to skip to take food off the counters or eat food other than his food bowl or treats that you give. This is an important part of teaching your dog good manners canines.

Of course there much more important things dogs should be trained to do, such as: sit, stay, lay down, heel, come, and more. If owners Dog address socialization and training early and consistent, they are more likely to have a companion they truly love and whose good manners make him welcome in public places.
