Dog Training - Pet Care Information
 One
of the most fun things about getting a new dog
is buying all the dog accessories that go along
with it! Dog accessories range between everything
from dog collars to dog beds. There are a plethora
of dog accessories and knowing what is practical
is important. Along with being practical you also
want to find the dog accessories that are well
made and attractive. Following are some tips on
buying dog accessories that should put you on
the right track!
Unless you already know a lot about the canine
world you should consult people who are experts
when it comes to buying dog accessories. Taking
along a friend or relative when shopping for your
doggie can be helpful. Also, stores like PetSmart
that specialize in selling pets and pet supplies
have very knowledgeable staff that can help you
find the right dog accessories for your dog.
What are some essential dog accessories? One
of the first things you need to do when you purchase
a dog is get the dog licensed. Licensing your
animal will protect the animal if he gets lost
or hurt, it protects your neighbors, and it’s
the law. A dog should always have a dog tag stating
they are licensed and the best place to keep this
is on a dog collar. Dog collars can be fancy or
plain. The important thing is that dog collars
are properly fitted to the dog. A dog collar should
never be too tight or too lose. The space between
the dogs neck and the dog collar should be about
two fingers wide.
Another essential dog accessory is a leash as
most cities have leash laws. These laws are enacted
to protect your pet, other pets and people. Anytime
you go out in public with your dog they should
be leashed. Note: Leashes should not be used to
discipline your pet or as a long- term restraint.
Dogs who are kept on leashes all day or all night
become aggressive, and are at risk of becoming
neurotic with the added danger of accidental strangulation.
Leashes should only be used as leads when walking
your dog or taking him to the park.
In some states have muzzle laws for dogs when
they are out and about. Again, a muzzle should
only be used to protect your dog, other pets and
people and not as a punishment or other disciplinary
tool. Find a muzzle that fits your dog properly
and learn how to put it on properly.
Dog accessories can and should be fun too, for
you and your pet! Other essential dog accessories
will include a dog bed, dog water and food bowl,
dog toys are very important unless you want him
to find his own toys in your home, such as shoes!
Dogs can get bored very easily and they need entertainment.
If you have an outdoor dog you’ll want to
look into getting him a dog house. Dogs need doghouses
to protect them from the elements to create their
own “den”.
You should always keep in mind that your dog
is your pet and can become a lifelong companion
for you and your family. Treating him with respect
will earn his respect for you. Dogs should receive
proper training at about 3 months. Puppy training
in many ways is easier than training an adult
dog, in that puppies have just not yet had a chance
to learn how to respond to their environments.
This means you get to teach your puppy how to
behave properly right from the beginning. It is
sometimes easier to do things right or according
to the systems (house) rules if the individual
does not already have a history of behaving in
a certain way. A great example is the act of the
puppy jumping to great people. Dog Training should
start early but remember, it’s never too
late to teach an old dog new tricks.
Keep your pet safe and happy. The most important
thing to remember is that you need to give your
pet a lot of love, that means loving him enough
to license him, fence him in and train him. You
and your pet will have many happy years together
if you keep these tips in mind.
