Tips For Good Dog Care

As any dog owner knows, having a pet means a lot of love, but a lot of work. In order to have a pet that is well trained and healthy, you must care for your dog properly. That means routine check-ups by a veterinarian, as well as the daily care of walks, feeding and playtime. When it comes to dog care, there are a few basics that every dog owner should follow, no exceptions.

When you welcome your new pet to the family, make sure that he is properly tagged, meaning that he wears identification that can be visibly seen if he becomes lost or escapes from the backyard. A collar with an identification tag is best and should include your name, address and phone number. For added protection, opt to have your pet microchipped by the veterinarian. The microchip can then be detected, even if your pet's collar comes off, and you can be reunited with your pet.

In order to protect your dog, make sure she is vaccinated against common pet-related diseases, such as rabies, ticks or heartworm. Besides getting routine shots and medication, dogs also need regular checkups by veterinarians, who can listen to their heart and check for other ailments.

An important part of having a dog means getting him neutered, preferably as a puppy. Most dogs do not come spayed or neutered, but there are many resources that make this affordable for dog owners. Reach out to your local human society for inexpensive rates on spaying and neutering. If you have the money, then opt to have your dog spayed at the veterinarian's office using a laser, which is less painful and invasive for the dog.

Ideally, you want to have a large, fenced in backyard for your dog to play in. Yet with all the dog owners living in condos, apartments and townhomes, this simply isn't always the case. If you don't have a large yard for your dog, make sure he gets out to the dog park or on regular walks and runs through the forest preserve.

Another important part of dog care is feeding your pet a nutritionally balanced diet, so make sure that you discuss with your vet the best choice of food for your pet. There is special food for puppies and senior dogs, as well as vitamins your dog may need. Also remember to always have fresh water available for your pet.

Finally, be sure that you shower your pet with lots of love. Dogs that receive regular attention and socialization are happier, healthier and nicer pets. If you feel that you and your pet could use a bit more guidance, opt to join a training class.

Puppy Basics

Potty Training Your Puppy:
Make sure you feed your dog at regular times every day as this makes bathroom breaks regular as well. Feed your puppy 2-3 times a day.

As soon as he is finished eating, take him to a grassy "potty area". Speak the words "go potty" or "go in the grass" before and while he is eliminating. Be sure to praise him when he is done.

What you are doing is building word associations with the dog that will allow you to encourage his potty activity on command.

This comes in handy when you and your dog are at unusual locations and at pit stops during long haul travel. It also saves you from cleaning unwanted fecal material off the carpet at home.

It is a good idea to train your puppy to use a place where you can easily clean up and dispose of the droppings into the sewer. This is because worms that infect dogs and make them sick get spread around through the eggs or larvae found in the feces. Some, like the roundworm, can also infect children.

Reprimanding Your Puppy:
Talk to puppies like you would to children when they do something wrong.

Tell them "no" and show them immediately what the correct behavior should be and reward them for doing it right. After a few times they'll know how to do it right.

For example, tell him "NO" when you catch him chewing the shoes. Then immediately give him his own toys to chew and cheer him on to chew on the toys. Praise him for doing so.

Use sparingly those reprimanding words like "No," "Stop that," "get off" and "bad dog!" Instead use more praises to reward good behavior in your dogs, this way the reprimands will take on stronger meaning.

A correct reprimand is short, sharp and immediate.

Only reprimand when you catch your dog doing something wrong, and punish only with your voice.

Hitting, kicking, slapping or spanking your dog can create more problems and usually makes existing problems worse. You may just end up with a barking and chewing dog, one that is leery, hand-shy, fearful or aggressive.

If you really have to spank one with your hand, just slap him across the behind.

Repetition and Rewards:
Repetitions are a crucial aspect of any dog's training. You should always reward them for doing something right while training. The more often he is rewarded, the better and quicker he will learn. Create situations where your dog can get plenty of practice at doing the right things.

Be sure to praise and love on him when he does a good job. This is simple but not always easy to do. Bad behaviors like biting, constant yelping and barking and tearing the house apart get our immediate notice. What we easily forget to acknowledge are the good parts - when the dog is lying down quietly, chewing on his own toys, leaving the carpet unsoiled.

Praise and reward are the most important part of maintaining your dog's good behavior and preventing him from getting into trouble.
