It’s always best if your dog training begins right the first time you bring your new dog home. Why? Well, there’s only a short window of time from the 8-week-old dog’s birth to the first six weeks of their life where they are most receptive to learning and accept other people’s behavioral traits.
Start dog grooming training with simple obedience training. This is very important for your puppies socialization. You want to make it a fun experience so make sure your puppy will learn fast and easy. The trick here is to start socializing your puppy at an early age. Start socializing them with other animals from the word go.
When you are dog grooming training, always reward your dog when they do something right. Try using treats and high value treats like dog snacks and/or dog biscuits. As you dog learns the behavior patterns and behavior is rewarded with a treat or high value treat. Always reward for behavior when they perform an action that is positive for you as well. Never punish your dog for performing a negative behavior.
Try to not over-train your puppies with training methods such as Alpha Male Syndrome. This is a common mistake that new pet owners make. Training methods such as Alpha Males can lead to excessive dog treats being eaten, hair being pulled and even worse behavior problems such as barking and growling. So use these training methods sparingly and let your dog choose the method they feel most comfortable with.
If you plan on trimming your own nails, be very careful. Some dog grooming books recommend that you trim your dog’s nails weekly during the first two weeks then every six weeks during the last two months. I prefer to trim my nails once a month. It’s good for their paws, my nails have nice little cutouts in them and it’s fun to do. Here are some more great dog grooming tips:
Here’s a simple dog training tip that works wonders. Have your dog sitting on the edge of your yard. Now call your dog by his name, quickly and in a calm voice. When the dog responds give him a treat and praise him. You now have a trained dog that listens to you and knows that when you call him he has to come to get a treat from you.
I find it much more rewarding when my dog comes to me for a treat rather than waiting for him to come to me. When my dog gets a high value treat from me I reward him with more high value treats. It’s a win-win and everyone can enjoy this great dog training trick.
Here are a few tips for using puppy mills and buying puppies. The first tip is to buy puppies from a reputable breeder, make sure the breeder has the highest ethical standards. Puppies that come from puppy mills are often sickly, have behavioral issues and may even be suffering from other ailments. There are also unscrupulous breeders out there that are only in the business to make a profit and won’t even take care of their puppies.
One of the main mistakes dog owners make is not using quality dog grooming supplies. Using quality dog grooming supplies such as brushes, nail clippers, dog shampoo and conditioner will help save you time and money. A brush is very important when brushing your dog because you need to get into his deep layers to remove tartar and bacteria. Nail clippers are used to take off old style nail clippers. Dog shampoo and conditioner are essential to keep your dog properly hydrated and clean.
If you are trying to find a good professional groomer then it is also very important that you check the person out. If they are in another state or country than making sure you do a background check on them. You can always do this online if you don’t live near any cities that they work in. Another tip is to look at the section summary page of the company website, see what kind of things that company does and do a search on it. This will usually bring up any complaints or reviews about the company.
