Dog Training And Behaviors

If you are like most new pet owners you had visions of playing fetch with your dog, of watching him frolic at the lake, and of cuddling up on cold nights.

You will have to do more than just feed them and give them toys to play with. Just about every one, no matter what breed, will have some bad habits and behaviors that you will have to break and get rid of.

Just like humans, dogs go through a series of cognitive development. Puppies, like babies, learn to interact with the world around them at around eight weeks of age. They will also mimic behaviors early in life, so if you have one well behaved dog your puppy can learn from it.

Starting your dog on the right foot in the beginning is key to getting them to conform to doing the right thing.

This book will help you focus your energy on key behavior like housebreaking, responding to commands, and walking on a leash. As you get to know your dog better you will find out what he is good at and can expand on those good behaviors and learn to manage the unwanted behavior.
