We all love puppies, but once we get them home there is a lot of work to be done. Consistency is the key to a happy and healthy puppy.
What Andy Griffith Can Teach You About Dog Training
Some people get worried and excited when their dog is off-leash and he’s done something that requires you to correct him. Because the owner is both worried and excited, they move fast toward the dog, concerned that the dog might run off before they can correct him. However, if you’ve done your long-line work properly and you’ve laid a solid foundation for your off leash training, there really isn’t any reason for you to worry that your dog will run off. So, what does this hav…
What Dog Breed I Recommend To My Friends
To recommend a good dog breed to someone, you need to know two things:
1. You must have an in-depth and personal experience with many different breeds. And more specifically, you must have multiple experiences with each breed. When you’ve been training dogs professionally for about 10 years, you’ve seen pretty much everything cross your path, at least three or four times. And for the more popular breeds, you’ve had literally hundreds of experiences that can put you in a ve…
What Is The Best Dog Collar
Dog collars come in a variety of colors, styles and even functions. Theres the obedience or choke collar, bark control collars, flea collars, and a whole array of just dog collars. So which to choose?
If barking is an issue perhaps a bark control collar will do the trick. Bark control collars use two types of bark detection, either external sound or vibrations from the dogs throat. Neither type is totally infallible; the vibration type can be set off by motion and the sou…
What You Need To Know When Picking A Puppy
This was a last minute e-mail I sent to a friend in California, who contacted me only a few hours befote she was leaving to pick a puppy from a breeder she’s been researching.
(EMAIL FROM ME, STARTS HERE)
Actually, everything looks really good – for a show breeder. And even better, what I really like is that she’s doing things with the dogs (using them in commercials) – which to me, suggests that the dogs she’s breeding should (in theory, anyway) have solid temperaments…

Your Dog Is Hyperactive When You Get Home From Work… What Should You Do?
Dear Adam,
I am a member of the Bouvtrain list. That’s how I got your name. I’m almost through your book and it has certainly given me some new ideas. Gypsy is a 1 1/2 year old Bouvier. She is very high-strung but we’re working on it. You’re absolutely right that it does no good to send your dog away to school. For $900 bucks she now does just what the dog trainer tells her to do. I’m getting a lot better, though.
Here’s my question. I exercise her in the morning. We pl…
Trying To Stop Jack Russell Terrier From Sleeping With Us
Adam:
My boyfriend has allowed his wonderful, very well-behaved Jack Russell, who is two years old, to sleep not just on but in his bed. We are trying to teach her to sleep in her bed which is on the floor by our bed but it’s proving very difficult! She’s managed to sleep there until about 4 AM, but then the whining starts and she ends up with us. It’s not really a problem so much when we are at our house but we are planning to go on holiday and she will be staying with my…

Urinating In The Kennel Run
A dog owner named Ellen writes:
I have a 12 month old golden retriever. When I am at work during the day she is in an outside kennel. The kennel has a concrete floor that is slanted to allow for drainage. I live in Wisconsin and when the snow melts, drainage is an issue even though I keep the kennel shoveled out. Here is my problem: Abby has decided to always pee up on the high end of the kennel.
Therefore, there is always urine all over the kennel and she ends up with …
