 1) A good reputation, ask around and get recommendations from your vet, other dog owners, or local kennel clubs.
 2) Experience. - Inquire about their background,  i.e. number of years experience.
3)A genuine love of and devotion to dogs.
 4) Extensive and up to date knowledge. Dedicated trainers keep themselves updated by attending dog training and animal behaviour courses, conferences, seminars and workshops.
 5) Their training methodology and handling skills. A good trainers first concern should be the dogs well being.
  6) Memberships with reputable associations, organizations and training clubs.

General dog obedience tips

Training should be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. If you are not in the right mood for training, don’t even begin. Always reward your dog for obeying your commands promptly! A reward is anything that your dog wants and is willing to work for. Treats are an obvious reward but other rewards could be verbal praise and toys. Several shorter sessions are usually better than one long one. Training should not involve any negative components or punishment . There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training session should be enjoyable and positive with rewards for jobs well done.

Training with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few unpleasant experiences of bringing up a new puppy or dog. Using a head collar for dog training has become very popular over the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the traditional training collar. Although very simple to use, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your dog properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than a traditional training collar. Head collars are very effective when controlling dogs in difficult situations.

3 Important Things To Remember When Training Your Puppy

Hey Everybody,It's Blogging Time. 
Welcome Everyone!!!
We'll Back With More Good Tips...

Today's Topic:
3 Important Things To Remember When Training Your Puppy.


                                Now pay close attention.

There are as many ways to raise a puppy as there are to raising a child. In fact, one way per family in general! But most of us agree that when it comes to children, certain things are universal and undisputed. Here are three things that a lot of people just do not think of when it comes to raising their dogs, however. How many times have we heard, "My dog just won't listen to me", or "He just won't behave!"


1. Dogs do not understand English until we teach them.
The thing we all love about puppies the most is the way they live for us, the way they focus all they have on us, the way our lives become theirs. in the beginning, they study us to learn our body language, our facial expressions and our language. Until we teach them the English language, it's all they have. If we say, "Wanna go out?" one day, "Have to go potty?" the next day, and, "Hafta pee?" the third day, if they DO figure out what we want, it is because we have picked up the leash and moved toward the door with a happy face! If you want to speed up his training by three-fold, teach him YOUR language. Pick a command for EACH behavior and stick with it. Tell all in your family to use the same words and commands, and your puppy will amaze you at how much faster he learns.

2. A young puppy's metabolism is racing along faster than we think.

The younger your puppy is, the faster he is growing, the more food and water he needs to fuel his metabolism, and the more often he has to go potty. Do not punish your puppy when he makes a house-breaking mistake. These are YOUR fault. Your puppy's age in weeks and his breed size determine how often he must go out. Once an hour is not too often for a large 6-week old puppy, especially if it is summertime. Dogs love the exciting smells outdoors, so there is no excuse to not have him housebroken by 7-8 weeks of age. Right after a nap, after he eats and after grooming are the key times, and he will signal you. If he is happily chewing a toy and gets up suddenly with his nose to the floor, move quickly! And every time he goes potty outside, praise him to high heaven! "What a good BOYY!", "GOOD go potty!" and the like. Dogs love our happy faces, and they will do anything to get it.

3. Dogs live for our facial expressions and body language.

Because of this, the worst punishment you ever need to give your dog is a scowl and to turn away from him. You can see his tail fall down and his face get so sad. He will learn the lesson, I guarantee it. But his attention span is only 3-5 minutes, so do not scorn him any longer. Love him up and give him your happy face again. Physical punishment is never necessary. Use consistent commands and loving praise and he will know what you want of him before you know. He will become a master of your body language and facial expressions in no time at all.

Naturally there are many aspects of training your puppy well. Loving kindness works just as well for puppies as it does with children, creating a happy, well-adjusted and obedient dog for life. These three important tips, used consistently with confidence, will start him well on his way.

Well that's it for Now!Until Next Time,Take Care!

6 Great Tips For Getting Your Dog Toilet Trained

Hey Everybody,It's Blogging Time.Again Welcome and Thanks for Dropping In...
From time to time we all have to refresh ourselves on the care and training for our furry friends to make sure they stay up to par.Today,we will be talking about sometime we all have endured while having our pets.6 Great Tips For Getting Your Dog Toilet Trained.So take a few minutes to see if this will help you in potty training your furry Pal....


Bringing a new puppy into your household is often an exciting event for both kids and their

parents. A puppy is cute and cuddly; they are little balls of energy. There is a lot of work

involved in raising a happy, healthy and well trained dog. Before you bring that wriggling,

ball of fluff home, you should take some things into consideration.


One of the toughest jobs that a family faces when a new puppy comes home is getting the dog

housebroken. This means that the dog will eliminate outdoors and not use your home and

furnishings as a toilet. Lots of people think that getting doggy toilet trained is a tough

task, but it doesn't need to be. If you arm yourself with plenty of information for the best

ways to get your dog house trained, you are on the right path to having a dog that goes to the

bathroom where you want him to go.

When to House Train 



A dog can be toilet trained at any age, but the best age to begin is between eight and twelve

weeks old. If you set up a housebreaking routine as soon as you bring your puppy home, before

long he will get the right idea of where to do his business. A crate is a great tool for toilet

training a puppy. It keeps him confined when there is no supervision and most dogs learn

quickly that if they make in their crate they will have to sit in it. Most dogs are fairly

hygienic and won't enjoy having to sit in dog doody or urine.


The Advantages of Using a Crate

Be sure there is enough room in the crate for your pup to turn around, but don't leave so much

room that he will be able to eliminate and lie down far away from it. Many dog owners view a

crate as a jail cell or to use as punishment, but your dog will love having his own space where

he can escape from the hustle and bustle of the household for some quiet time. Make your dogs

crate a happy place and don't use it for punishment. You can feed your dog in the crate, or

while he is in there, offer him some treats. Place a favorite chewy or toy in there with him,

add blankets and he will have a cozy den to escape to whenever he feels the need. Utilizing a

crate for your dog can keep him out of trouble and not only in housebreaking.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled    


Keeping a close eye on your puppy is a key factor in getting him properly housetrained.

Whenever you see that he is sniffing, circling or beginning to squat, immediately take him

outside to the place where you want him to go and see if he eliminates. If he does, praise him

lavishly. A good idea is to have a cue, such as “hurry up� so that your puppy knows what

you want him to do. When he is going to the bathroom repeat the cue and then give your dog lots

of praise for a job well done. It is better to take the dog out and nothing happens then take a

chance of an accident happening.

Have a Schedule

Feeding, watering and walking your dog on a regular schedule will make housebreaking that much

easier. Puppies are like children and they thrive on a routine. Try and take the dog out around

the same time everyday so they will be able to adjust their bodily functions. The first thing

you should do in the morning is take the puppy from the crate and don’t let his feet touch

the ground. Bring him to the place where you want him to go, give the cue, and praise upon a

successful completion. Take your puppy out at least every two hours, after eating or drinking

and especially after play. Before you know it, your puppy will be letting you know it is time

to go out and do his business.

Don't Let the Puppy Roam          



Letting your puppy roam around the house is a sure fire way to have accidents. If you have

decided you don't want to use a crate, and even if you do use one, confining the dog to certain

areas of the house can make housetraining easier for everyone. It is difficult to keep track of

a puppy when he has the run of the house, but if you gate him in the kitchen, he will still be

able to be part of the action and can be better supervised in case of an accident.

Don't  Get Discouraged
There will be times when you first begin housetraining that you feel your pup is just not

getting it. He may have accidents in the house as well on occasion. There is no need to be

discouraged. If you stick to your routine, keep a good eye on the dog and make frequent outings

to his outdoor bathroom, in no time your puppy will be housebroken. Another good idea is to use

the same door all the time when you are taking him out so that when he has to go, he will

scratch on the door to be let out. Once this happens, you can say hurray and know that your

puppy truly is beginning to understand that going to the bathroom in the house is a no-no.

5 Tips For Training Dogs Successfully

 Hey Everybody,Its Blogging Time.yoby here with my best bud Nitro and we're ready to give you some top tips on helping your furry loved ones to stay safe and healthy...
Today we will explore the wonderful world of training your dog/dogs properly.So lets get started...
Training dogs is not hard. You just need patience, dedication and some simple tactics and you will teach them successfully.

Here are five top tips on how to train your dogs successfully:

1. To avoid your dog getting confused and so that they can learn to recognize commands easily only one person should be responsible for training the dog initially. If too many people are trying to train the dog at the same time this can stop progress in its tracks.

2. You should use positive reinforcements. If the dog does something good, you should reward this behavior so that he will know that what he did was right. If the dog cannot understand or follow your commands, never push him. Dogs are not as intelligent as humans, they make mistakes. What you should understand is that they won’t easily understand your commands in just one teaching, it takes repetition to train a dog successfully. Do not scold your dog as he might develop fear which will hinder his learning and willingness to be trained. You can use treats in order to encourage your dogs, although don’t overdue it.

3. Teach commands one at a time. Try to teach him one command after the other. If he cannot absorb it, try to stay on that command only because adding additional commands will just confuse the dog. Start with the basics.



4. In executing commands, you should keep your voice cheerful so that the dog will happily follow your commands. Dogs will respond to a low and coaxing voice. If you shout out loud, he may become startled and unresponsive.

5. Train your dog in various places. If you keep your dogs in a certain place like your home, he will not be able to adjust with the environment new people. Take him to the park or through the neighborhood. This will help your dog associate with other dogs and people.

Training your dog can sometime be tough, but it will be worth it. In the end, you will be the one to benefit when your dog is trained. You don’t know he might even save your life one day and pay back everything you taught him.
