You have selected a pretty name for your dog, but does your dog know it is his/her name? Sorry, if he/she does not then it is your fault. You need to teach your dog some basic commands for everyday life.

These basic commands will transform your new puppy/dog to a house trained dog. Your dog needs to know these commands. Remember a well trained dog can save your life, or even catch a thief who wants to enter your house, so let’s get started.

Fun times start when you bring your puppy home for the first time. It is possible you may have finished shopping for things your new puppy needs. I hope you got an appropriate training collar. I am sorry, but I noticed some new dog owners do not think an appropriate collar is very important.

Today I am going to talk about appropriate training collars. I am going to be your agony aunt as I am going to recommend some appropriate training collar for you. Read my suggestions please, you can thank me later.

An appropriate collar will make house training your puppy a much easier job.

Does your dog hate all human beings besides you and your family members? Then he is not alone. Many dogs hate their vets, groomers. This can be a real problem as you cannot avoid taking your dog to the vet or groomer. You need to teach your dog to like his vet and groomer.

Trust me, dogs normally like people, so training your dog to like his groomer and vet will not be a hard job. He needs to understand his vet and groomer are not trying to hurt him.

Who does not enjoy a long walk with their dog? It is the best stress buster. But a long walk with your dog can also be a nightmare if your dog does not like other dogs. There will be other dogs on the road. Your dog needs to like other dogs like him, otherwise you will not be able to take him to dog parks.
