Dog training tips for new dog owners
By Mark B
When you get a new dog at home, we know how they can be irresistible, so he or she sleeps in your bed the first night. Note that if you do not want your dog to sleep in the bed at all, then you should not do so, not even once. In doing so, the dog will think it’s okay for him or her to sleep your bed and a habit will be formed instantly.
New dog needs to know the rules of its new home
We do not let either of our dogs sleep in our bed, both dogs sleep downstairs in their own beds. If you prefer your dog box or bed trained, then you should start from the first day. Don’t make things hard on yourself right from the beginning. The dog will be more than happy wherever it sleeps – it just needs to know the rules of its new home.
Your dog is intelligent
The first time your pet home, you need to start training him or her to wear a collar. The collar should be placed on your pet while you are there. Every time you leave, while the dog is getting used to the collar , you may want to remove it from him or her in order to prevent strangulation. In time, your pet will be ready to take the collar at all times.
When the pet is accustomed to the collar, it’s time to introduce the leash to him or her. Soon, your pet will be walking side by side with you on the leash. As you walk him or her, also can be taught the basic commands of sit and stay. Your dog is intelligent and I know you will see that as you are doing your dog training.
Every day train your dog
Every day, your dog will learn a little bit more, but you need to ensure you have the patience and confidence in your new dog. When you have confidence in them, they trust you and become happier and calmer animals.

Choosing the right new dog for you
By Mark B
Everyone has heard the term ‘ A dog is for life and not just for Christmas’ and that really is worth bearing in mind when choosing the right new dog for you and your family.
This is not a guinea pig you are taking on, a dog will be there with you for many years and will need a lot of looking after. It is essential that when you are choosing the right new dog for you that you bear this in mind.
How much of my time does a dog need?
Before you take on a new dog, you should consider details such as how much time you have available to exercise the dog? (big dogs need much more exercise) , do you have children in the house? (then a puppy may be better than a rescue dog who’s background you can not be sure of), do you have experience with any particular breed of dog? (it might make training it easier for you), what is your financial situation? (big dogs eat more food and can cost you lots of money).
Do I really want new dog
You must also consider whether you REALLY want a new dog or if it is just a passing fancy. Too many dogs get abandoned a few months later when their owners realise just what they have taken on, and the commitment involved. If you are not SURE you want a new dog and can commit to looking after it properly then don’t have one.
I lost one of my dogs a couple of years ago, he had a stroke and had to be put to sleep. But he was 19 YEARS OLD! so he had been given a good long crack at life and enjoyed it right up to the end. Other breeds of dog may last just 10 years or less, but either way you will be committing to years of your life with the dog. If you can’t commit to that then don’t get a new dog.
This is Pepsi, who lived to be 19 years old:

These are my 2 current dogs, both well behaved and (eventually) well trained:

If you do decide that you want a new dog, and are sure that you are choosing the right new dog for you, then the next step is getting them trained as quickly as possible. The link below will help you there. It saved me a lot of time and money having this information and I’m sure it will also help you.

New Dog Training
By Mark B
If you keep hearing this from your family and friends, then you need to read on…
I heard the same thing from my wife after taking on a very energetic Alsatian puppy. New dog training all over again. After a fairly good start he soon went backwards in his learning and left us the odd puddle on the carpet, barked at anything that moved, and was a total nightmare on the lead when it came to walkies.
This is him, Eddie, my White Alsatian dog.
I thought he might learn on his own … bad mistake! More puddles, barking and pulling me down the street every time we went out.
I tried a few different things to teach him how to behave, all the old stories you hear about rubbing their noses in the mess, shouting at them when they do wrong, dragging them back when they pull. And it turns out they are all totally wrong. k9 training is a bit different to popular beiefs.
I spent a lot of money on dog training books and guides
I also spent a lot of money on dog training books and guides, and even took him to a dog obedience class. He just went mad at the other dogs. This dog was a real problem.
Eventually I found the information I had been looking for. A way to train the dog myself by using training techniques that actually worked.
I wish I had found this in the first place, it would have saved me an awful lot of time, money, and slippers!
The only downside was printing off the details so I could carry them round with me everywhere I took him, shame this isn’t available as a book from the shops. No doubt it would sell like crazy.
Anyway, that was a small price to pay for turning our lives around and ending up with a very happy and well trained dog.
You can teach your dog new tricks
If you have had problems with dog obedience, toilet training, excessive barking, pulling on the lead, or any other problem behaviour from your dog then you need this information today. I have been told from a very good source that this dog training information works equally as well on older dogs as it does on young ones. You can teach old dogs new tricks!
Having a problem dog can cause all sort of stress. Instead of giving you pleasure it can leave you tired and frustrated.
I know, I’ve been where you are now.
I have included the link below so you can get the same new dog training information yourself, and you can turn your problem dog into a well trained and happy family pet.

Toilet training as part of your new dog training
By Mark B
New dog training, obedience training, and toilet training can be difficult, but can also be very rewarding.
Nobody enjoys coming downstairs first thing in the morning to find that your new dog has left a little (or large!) calling card on the living room floor or in the kitchen.
And don’t forget it is not just puppies or dogs newly introduced to a household that can have problems with toilet training. Adult dogs who have lived with you for several years can also develop problems, or keep the bad habbits from when they are young.
Dog toilet training can be something you may have to do with any dog of any age, some dogs just don’t learn as quickly as others or have other underlying problems that you need to identify. You need to become the dog trainer for your own dog.
Find the best way to toilet train YOUR new dog
How to identify the best way to toilet train YOUR dog, or discover any underlying problems that he may have, can be very tricky. Many of the popular stories of how to punish dogs for fouling, or shouting to show displeasure, are just plain wrong. Toilet training for your dog is something you need to learn how to do in a more effective manner.
I have had many dogs over the years, and faced different challenges with each one of them. I spent lots of money and time toilet training and obedience training my dogs, I used dog training aids, obedience collars, I joined a dog training club, and still didn’t get everything right with most of them.
Now, with my current dog, I have ironed out the problems and have a happy and well trained dog as part of my family. I did this by following advice that I wish I had found many years ago! This has been the first time I have properly understood the dog mentality and this makes training so much easier.
Get your new dog training right and you and your dog will be much happier. Grab a copy of the information I used from the link below.

Being the pack leader is key to new dog training
By Mark B
Dogs are naturally pack animals. You have to understand that major point before you even consider new dog training.
When you bring that puppy or older dog from the rescue place back home don’t assume they will settle right in and just become a family member and obey the family rules. What the dog will be looking for right away is the pack structure. Who is the pack leader? Where is the dog’s place in the pecking order? What are the rules that the pack leader insists on?
New dog starts at the bottom of the pack
Your new dog will be happy enough to understand that he is at the bottom of the pack order, it isn’t a problem to the dog, he just wants to understand where his place is and he will be happy enough there.
Establish the pack order early on, and make sure the dog understands that you, or whoever else will be primarily responsible for his training, is the pack leader to be followed. When that is established it will make your new dog training much easier and quicker.
How you establish who is leader doesn’t have to be complicated, and it doesn’t need to involve any shouting or punishments. Dogs will often get the opposite message to the one you are trying to give them if you do not understand the way they think.
The quickest and easiest way I have found, after many years of mistakes with various dogs, is in a new dog training guide written by Dove Cresswell. She has appeared on TV and is one of the most popular and famous dog trainers in the world. Her guide is simplicity itself and will make your life so much easier, and your dog’s life so much happer.
