Dogs are a lot like human beings. They love to interact with just about anyone. You would actually be quite amazed at the way they take to different animals, such as other dogs, or even reptilian creatures. Of course this isn't the same for all dogs. You will find that some dogs are very hostile, even to their own species. It's strange, but it is quite factual. Like people, all dogs are different.
When you love animals, you can appreciate the value in having more than one puppy or dog as a pet, regardless of their type of breed. When you have more than one dog in the house, it can be somewhat difficult to keep a clean house. Canine territorial conflict is not pretty and can destroy a house as well as stress you out. Take the instance of walking your dog at night and a rival dog wanders by your property. It may not be as simple as merely strolling back into the house.
This type of situation calls for dog training or training a puppy to be social. Dogs are similar to children, since they learn so easily if you take time to teach them to behave properly. Things are so much easier to learn as a child. While your dog is, a puppy is the best time to help them distinguish between friend and foe. They are trying to learn and you should take advantage of that situation early on.
When you only plan to have one dog, you need to introduce it to other dogs while it is a puppy. This helps the dog understand that not all dogs are its enemy. You also need to touch and pet the puppy in order for it to become used to being touched. This makes for a friendlier dog, while reducing the chances of biting.
Make sure you have and keep a tight grip on the leash, when you introduce your dog to other dogs, at least until you are positive that they will not fight one another. It may seem controlling, however, it is your job to teach the puppy right from wrong as well as keep it safe from harm.
Puppies and dogs love to play, which includes biting, jumping and shoving one another. However, you can teach them not to do such things. They do these things while playing with one another; it is part of their nature. You just want to be sure that they are not really, hurting one another while playing together. Another distraction is having your dog or puppy jump on you continually, whether or not it is a lap dog.
Barking is a part of the nature of a dog or puppy. However, it can be nerve racking when a dog continually barks. Teach the dog not to bark continually by distracting it with a doggie treat. Keep trying even if it does not work the first few times, the dog will learn to stop barking, if you only give it a treat while it is being quiet. Using this method repeatedly will help you teach your dog to bark only when necessary.
One method of teaching a dog to be quite, and it's going to sound strange, is to put them on their back and yell in their faces. Okay it's not going to look good if someone walks by and sees it, but many professional dog trainers use this method. Also remember that if you have rescued an animal from either the street or an animal shelter, because they probably have not been taught from an early age. That does not mean it's impossible to train them however.
Take the time to train a puppy early. Doing so will make a much better pet of your dog or puppy. You will be able to enjoy your pet for years to come if you remember to do these things while dog training. - 29895
