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.

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

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.

5 Steps to a Better-Behaved Pet

(Nitro):Hey Everybody,My Dad is on a break,He'll Be back in a little while.So  i'll do this blog for starters.So,it's blogging Time....

(Nitro):Today we will be talking about 5-Steps to a Better-Behaved Pet and who should know better than me? No one...(No,just kidding)...So sit back and Enjoy your tips and info...

Want to live a healthier lifestyle? Get a dog.

Studies show that pet ownership helps reduce stress, lowers blood pressure and fends off feelings of loneliness and depression.

While nothing can top the love and companionship of a dog, there are some unpleasant behaviors that just won't do - from barking all night to wetting the floor to chewing on your shoes when you're not looking.

If your dog is exhibiting this type of behavior, it may be acting out due to boredom, pent-up aggression or because of lack of training. With proper lifestyle adjustments and diligent training, you'll be on your way to having a happy, well-behaved pet. The following tips will help your furry friend become more obedient:

* Spay or neuter. The Humane Society of the United States says that this common procedure can help your dog live longer, be healthier and have fewer behavior problems.

* Help your pet relax. Just like people, dogs can get anxious, agitated and stressed. That's why some veterinarians suggest giving your dog a calming product, such as Pluto Pet's Pet Calming Spray, to help relieve hyperactivity.

Made with natural ingredients, Pet Calming Spray acts quickly to relieve restlessness, fear, nervousness and aggression and helps antsy pets sleep through the night, according to the manufacturer.

* Have a workout routine. Provide your canine companion with regularly scheduled walks twice a day. This will help your dog avoid boredom, which can lead to destructive behavior.

* Go to school. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, enrolling your dog in an obedience class will teach you how to control your dog's behavior both safely and humanely.

* Be patient. Though teaching your furry friend to be more obedient may take determination on your part, it's worth it. After all, as man's best friend, your dog will appreciate bonding with you during the process.

10 Most Important Tips To Training Your Puppies

Hey Everybody,Its blogging time.yoby and Nitro is in the house! Hope everyone had a great weekend.Good,its time to relax.So sit back,get your favorite beverage.Enjoy and we hope you have a great evening or day....

All of us dream of parenting the perfect dog, a pup that is a CGC or canine good citizen and is well behaved and dependable at all times. Well dreams do come true if the training is done with care and dedication. Remember pups learn from day one and need to be taught what is right, what is wrong, and proper socialization.

Pups are like children, they need constant supervision and training. Training a pup need not be an ordeal all you need to keep in mind are a few simple rules:

•    Until your pup learns you need to keep an eye on him at all times. When you cannot then you must crate him. Create a schedule for the pup this will help the pup settle down quickly. The schedule must include things like hourly bath rooming visits, eating times, rest periods, walks, play time, training, and so on. A pup that has a busy day has no time to be bored and get into mischief.

•    Teach the pup to respect you. Dogs live in packs and instinctively follow a leader. If you establish your leadership in no uncertain terms then training will become easy as the pup will obey you at all times and not challenge your authority.

•    Use only positive training methods. Never shout at, hit, or punish a dog. It is not just cruel but can lead to behavioral problems. Use of electric shocks, prong collars, sprays, and so on could hurt the animal.

•    Teach the pup “nothing in life is free.” This is a system that is widely acknowledged as a useful training tool. If you practice this, the pup will learn that to get something like love, a walk, or treat, he must behave well.


•    Teach the meaning of “No,” from day one. Do not encourage behaviors like jumping, mouthing, tug-o-war, barking, or running out of open gates and doors. Praise good behavior and ignore or walk away when there is bad behavior. The pup will learn that if he misbehaves he will loose his companion/playmate.

•    To correct a behavior you must catch the pup in the act and startle him by rattling a can of pebbles. Once you have done this make him correct his behavior and immediately offer him a treat and praise. Pups do not recall what happened earlier so scolding him after an event is of no use.

•    Always call/use his name positively. Never say “Bad TOM,” or “No Tom,” this will cause confusion and the pup will think that if you call his name then it is something bad. The pup must associate his name with happy events like hugs, petting, walks, treats, and such. If this happens he will come willingly when you call out his name.

•    Create a training schedule that is short and sweet say 10 minutes thrice a day. Long repetitive lessons can be boring and the pup will loose interest in learning. Make learning fun and use trick training to teach commands like sit, down, come and so on.

•    Bond with the pup and both of you will enjoy your lessons. The pup must look forward to spending time with you and not avoid you by running away or hiding. Be sure to socialize the pup early. Socialization is one of the most important lessons. The pup must learn to be around other animals, people, sounds, vehicles, and other activities. So, slowly introduce the pup when he is little to everyday activities and sounds. Take him to the mall/ park, introduce him to children and other pets, and make him unafraid of the vacuum and garden hose.

•    Learn all about crate training, leash walking, house breaking, as well as food training. These are kindergarten lessons that every pup must master. Know about all the idiosyncrasies as well as peculiarities of the breed this will give you valuable insights on how to successfully train the pup.

As a pet-parent you have many choices. You could choose to train the dog yourself or register at a professional training school. Training a dog has many stages: kindergarten, obedience training, doggy sports, showing and conformation, as well as other aspects like therapy dogs, hearing dogs, and so on. What level you choose to train depends on you as well as the learning abilities of your dog. As you know, different dogs like humans have varied talents. Choose well and both you and your pup will have fun times together.

9 Tips For Choosing The Best Cat Urine Cleaner

Hey Everyone,back with more info on taking care of our little furry ones.I think this article will be so helpful to those who probably has a kitty or kittens around the house.Though this is pretty great,i think that you can find a good deal of removers from your local pet shops.Shop around and Enjoy!!!

Providing the best information for pet owners to know how to find a cat urine remover, how to select a cat urine remover, and also how to choose a cat urine remover to help with those serious pet urine stains.


This is the best cat urine cleaner Guide for those who ask any of the following questions:
How to choose a cat urine remover?
How to select a cat urine remover?
How to find a cat urine remover?


With all this choice in an endless supply of products there is one problem and that is "CHOICE". How do you choose the right one? how do you select the best product for you and your pet? Well I am going to share with you this secret whether your question is how to choose a cat urine remover, how to find a cat urine remover or how to select a cat urine remover.

The truth is you can spend days even weeks looking at different products and comparing features or value. But somewhere you have to draw the line, some time you will have to make a choice. That is the reason for this article, to save pet owners from wasting their time and money on something that they really are not sure on. I have already spent my time looking at different cat urine cleaners that remove serious pet urine and I'm giving you this information as an easy to understand rating system.

To understand the system completely you will first need to have the 9 MOST IMPORTANT CRITERIA you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY must know before purchasing any cat urine cleaners. These following 9 criteria will allow you to make a quick sound judgment on any product, so you know instantly if it is a yes or a no! Without it you could be very disappointed with the product bought because of its lack of performance and with no way of refunding it, you would be wasting money.

So for the pet owners who want to find the best cat urine cleaner to remove those serious pet urine stains just use these follow 9 criteria's.

1. No fragrance to hide or disguise the odor since this will only fix the problem temporarily.
Masking the odor may work for the time being, but wait 2-3 hours and that smell will be back. It is important to be able to smell the urine stain with out fragrances to tell if it was effectively removed. If the smell persists then total removal was definitely ineffective even if no stain can be seen.

2. EASY to use SAVING you time, effort and MONEY!
Make sure the product is an easy one step process for its use! The last thing you need is to spend more time then necessary applying two or three treatments for total removal. I don't think the company really cares how long it takes you to clean up since they are not the ones cleaning up the mess. I want it to be as easy as possible! And so should YOU!

3. No claim to absorb or sponge the stain, since this will later require effort to clean any remaining remnants.
Any product that claims to absorb or sponge the stain usually (but not always) requires an applying step, then wait after X hours to do the second step, which is to vacuum or clean it up. To me this seems like double work and it would have to be cleaned thoroughly to remove all remnants of the cleaning agent.

4. Unmatched quality GUARANTEED by the manufacturer that will remove all components of the stain from color, texture, odor and the toughest component of ALL!.........Uric salt crystals!
A clearly stated GUARANTEE is important to you as the purchaser. This is your insurance and leverage as a customer. And it would not be smart to shop online without any form of insurance. Businesses today usually accept this form of risk to them and I would be suspicious of any business that did not CLEARLY state a GUARANTEE.
The toughest component of urine is the "Uric Salt Crystals". When looking for pet stain cleaner you should be looking to see what has it been tested on and what does it remove? Does it remove Uric Salt Crystals?

5. Must prevent your pet from repeated soiling in the same area.
The reason I was emphasizing about the Uric Salt Crystals is because it is these crystals that hold the marking scents of your pet. Remember how dog marks his territory by urinating around their area. Well it is these crystals that hold their scent in which they can find that same spot over and over again. If you can remover these Uric Salt Crystals then you can prevent this habit.

6. Must be NON-TOXIC for YOU, children, pets and guests.
I have a one and a half year old son at the time of writing this article and for anyone who is a parent, toxic chemicals are a concern. We place all ours outside in the shed and up high so they are out of the reach of little hands. But if you are not a parent then you too should give a thought about the toxics used in your house. This is for you, your pets and for the people you invite to come around to your house.

7. Must have a long history (i.e. 30 YEARS) of customer satisfaction.
If the business or product has been around for a long period time then you can feel assured that the product may be good. The logic behind this statement is that with all the securities commissions around the world and the strong internet anti-fraud measures, a business will have to be legitimate to stay around for any long period of time. If they were not legitimate then they would only be around for a short time before getting shut down. Scams come and go but a good business or product is around for the long term, that you can TRUST!

8. Size.
How much are you getting in one bottle? You want the bottle to last a while before you have to order a new one.

9. Unbeatable value, including FREE bonuses, with out any drop in quality.
What I am about to say may be common knowledge to some people, but the problem with 'common knowledge' is that it is not common. Once you have found your pet stain cleaner that seems to be a high quality product. You MUST ask "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME!" If you purchase this product, what else are you going to get? By doing this you will always get more value for your dollar.
There is a skill to this as well, since you need to look for the not so obvious. Most people look for the little free gimmicks like a free carpet cleaner included or a free black light to find stains (you will need the right UV frequency for it to work). But what I am talking about are extras that work for you. Are you receiving bonuses that you can sell? Might you get the opportunity to join the businesses affiliate program after the purchase and make money off the product you tested (used). Is that business going to work for you long term?, long after the purchase of their product.

So if you are thinking of purchasing a Cat Urine Cleaner to remove the most serious pet urine stains keep these following 9 criteria's in mind as you will reach the best solution faster. They are valid points in which pet owners must consider and for anyone spending money it is important to ask if that money will return.

The ebook above is also useful to anyone searching for pet odor removal too. For example, san francisco pet odor removal or bay area pet odor removal.
