		<description><![CDATA[Discover how to train dogs like a pro with these 7 steps to success. Dog training is easier than you think; if I managed to train my puppy even though I had no experience, so can you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are you one of those that don`t know how to train dogs? Then you should read this; maybe it`s easier </strong><strong>than you think.</strong></p>
<p>Dogs are lovely creatures, and the arrival of a new puppy into the family is a very exciting experience. Cute as they are when they start waggling their tales, puppies can be notorious.</p>
<p>Barking. Sounds familiar? In the middle of the night, bark and bark endlessly; dig holes in your garden; chew on your livingroom furniture. They`re all classic.<br />
You might be on your way to lose your patience, I know I have on several occasions. But before you do, remember that your puppy is just like a child; they need guidance of their parents and the older people around the. Exactly, you should train it.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-113 alignright" src="http://howtotraindogs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dog-training.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="238" />No, I`m not talking about taking your dog to expensive training facilities, I`m talking about you doing it yourself.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don`t know how to do that, I`m no professional!&#8221; Neither am I, and if I could do it, so can you. It`s not as hard as you think; in fact, it might be a lot easier than you expect it to be.</p>
<p>Here are a few basic tips you can use when training your own dog or dogs.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> As soon as the puppy arrives in your house, start training it. The earlier you begin, the earlier it will behave properly.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Your dog should be trained in a quiet place &#8211; a place with less distraction. Focus for both yourself and your puppy is important, and this is easier to get with less distraction and noise around.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Do not hesitate to give the dog rewards when it does something right. Patting it on its head or giving it something to eat that is not usually a part of its diet as a reward.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Do not train for long periods of time. Short periods works better.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Consistence is the key. Do the same things until your puppy has learned it by heart.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Do not take giant leaps; start with small, simple steps. This way it can easily adapt.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> When it does something wrong, do not hit it. Instead, encourage it to do better, for example by using rewards. It will also enjoy training more if you do it this way, and the more he enjoys it the more he will learn.</p>
<p>Be patient. Just as children can be hard to teach sometimes, so can dogs be. However, if it enjoys the training, once it learns one trick, it will learn other things so much easier.</p>
<p>If you are interested in learning more about dog training, have a look at in the DVD<br />

<p>This is a review, <a href="http://howtotraindogs.net/dogtrainingcourse.php">click here</a> if you want to visit the Dog Training Blueprint website.</p>
<p>Having dogs as pets is fun for many primarily because of the amicable characteristics that these four-legged friends possess. They are playful, smart, and would surely stay loyal to you no matter what happens, proving that they are indeed man’s best friends. On the other hand, it might not always be flowers and sunshine when you are with your pet. Instilling discipline and obedience are just some of the issues that owners have to deal with in caring for a pet. Because it entails work, time, and a hefty bag of patience, a lot of owners just give up the cause without realizing that all the hard work would pay off not only for them but for their beloved dogs, as well.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many dog owners do not have the time to train their dogs. They might have started doing it, but after encountering a few stumbling blocks and running out of patience, many have opted to give up the cause. If you are one of those owners who wish that training dogs would be easier, simpler, and of course more fun for themselves and their pets, Dog Training Blueprint brings good news for you.</p>

<p>The tutorial is helpful to anyone who has grown sick and tired of being embarrassed because your dog has once again peed on your neighbor’s lawn or having to chase after your dog because it just would not stop running free in the park.

<p>However, I`m not going to lie, it does take a little work. I would assume that it`s a little harder to train an &#8220;old&#8221; dog than a puppy, but I wouldn`t know, because I`ve only tried training my puppy following this manual. <em>That</em> worked out great though.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have never trained a dog before, you need to know that there are some problems you might run into. Problems when training dogs is quite normal, but what can you do to overcome them? Read this to discover how you can ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Training dogs is both fulfilling and challenging. Before you achieve success in teaching your dogs some skills from the most basic to the complex ones, you will go through a set of challenges. Some of the problems when training dogs may include the following.</p>
<p>1. Territorial Behavior<br />
If you have taken in other animals with you aside from your dog, in most probability, your dog is exhibiting territorial behavior. It includes fierce barking, showing of teeth, or worst, waging a fight with other animals it deems a rival. Fortunately, you can curb this behavior through training. Most would approach this using the reward and reinforcement method. This takes time and you have to wait for your dog to associate the treat or the reward with non-territorial behavior when with other animals.</p>
<p>2. Problems with Scent Marking Inside the House<br />
Another common problems when training dogs are scent marking and territory marking inside the house. Dogs do this by eliminating or urinating in the post they want to establish as their territory. The scent sends out a warning to other dogs that the territory is already taken. These usually happen in dominant male dogs or alpha males because they have a strong drive to mate with female dogs. They want to show other dogs that they are king so they establish their territory through scent marking. Sometimes, these problems can also occur when a dog feels insecure and has the tendency to mark their territory.</p>
<p>These problems cause a lot of headache for owners, but the good news is that there are measures to solve this problem. If your dog is an alpha male, you can neuter it to avoid scent marking. You can also teach your dog to eliminate and urinate on command in the proper post. Remember that your corrective measures should not scare your dog or else, it might only make matters worse.</p>
<p>3. Separation anxiety<br />
Dogs also experience stress and anxiety. Often times, these anxieties are the causes of misbehavior. Separation anxiety is common especially for puppies or younger dogs, and can lead to behaviors like barking, howling, or worst destroying objects in the house. Some dogs even urinate or eliminate in inappropriate places. Fortunately, you can also solve these through training.</p>
<p>Problems in training dogs are common, but there are approaches and methods that you can use to solve them. With time and patience, your efforts would pay off. You can learn all about it in the <a href="http://howtotraindogs.net/dogtrainingcourse.php">Dog Training Blueprint</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dogs are source of delight for many people. They are loyal pets and companions, thus garnering them the title as “man’s best friends”. On the other hand, it may not be all sunshine and flowers with these four-legged friends especially when they start eliminating in inappropriate places in the house or begin a ruthless attack on your favorite couch. Fortunately for owners, there are effective measures that can be done to curb this problem. Here are some tips on how to potty train a dog.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> If your dog is an alpha male, there is a big possibility that he is keen on establishing his territory. Part of a dog’s establishment of territory is eliminating on the spot he wants to be his. This is his way of warning other dogs that the territory has been taken. This is a problem because once he marks a spot, he would always eliminate on that very same area, and it can be hard to curb this when it becomes a habit. Potty training is the solution to this house training problem. Train your dog to eliminate on a specific spot.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> When marking a potty spot, dogs leave a scent that signals territory. You need to clean this smell on the inappropriate spot where it eliminated. You can do this by wiping the spot with vinegar</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Teach your dog to eliminate on command. This can be very tricky at first, but your efforts will surely pay off when you see great results. If you have been with your dog for quite some time, it would be easy for you to detect when it is about to eliminate. Walk your dog to the potty spot when it is already showing signs of eliminating. Give treats to your dog every time it eliminates on command. In this way, the dog would be able to associate favorable reward to the behavior. This typical conditioning method has been working for many dog owners.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Do not forget to reward your dog not only through treats, but also through words and affection. This will lessen your dog’s insecurity for it to respond positively to potty training.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> The best practices in how to potty train your dog would always be those that follow the reward system. Punishments will only make matters worse, and raise the frequency of unwanted behavior. Punishments also have emotional and psychological effects on your dog.</p>
<p>Applying these tips on how to potty train a dog will not only be advantageous to you, but also very beneficial to your dog as it strengthens your ties. For more positive results, you can also reinforce potty training through behavior training programs.</p>
<p>You can discover more about puppy potty training and dog training in general in this book by Lori Verni.</p>
