Training Tips:

Watch here for new tips every month.

• In dog training, it is critical to be consistent, When your dog is in training, Try to do things the same way every time this will help keep the dog from getting confused. Consult your dog trainer if you feel you are being consistent but the dog is not responding positively to your efforts.

•  Remember Exercise, Discipline, then love. If your dog isn't getting enough of the proper excercise they will most likely act out in other ways.( digging, chewing, excessive barking, ect... What do I mean by proper excercise, A good 30 minute walk twice a day is a good starting point for most medium to large dogs.( small dogs may not need as much depending on the breed) Dogs are pack animals besides excercise they need mental stimulation, they need to travel from point "A" to Point "B", letting the dog run around the back yard is not going to achieve this.
