Preventing dog bites on Children 2006-11-26 15:05:00
According to a 1994 study by Mathews and Lattal approximately one million dog bites
occur every year in the United States - according to the study 60-70% of those involve children, boys are bitten more often than girls and a third of the dogs that attack children are owned by the family.
A study by Beck done in 1975 indicated that 87% of biting dogs are intact males and most dogs bites occur in or near the victims home. Another study by Sacks in 1989 indicated that 70% of the children that were killed by dogs were under the age of 10 and 22 % were under the age of one year with 7% being sleeping infants.

Dog Training: "Hot Tips for the Bedroom" 2006-09-23 19:00:00 You must have read a lot of articles about dog training. So, what is the use of reading one more here. Well, you would be able to find that if and only if you read this article in the first place."Honey, you know I don't like it when you lick my ears""Umm… It wasn't me. Wait, where's the dog?"Studies show that about half of the people who own dogs allow them on the bed. Most dog owners I know account for the half that do. If you are one of them, here's a few things to keep in mind.* You should not let puppies or untrained dogs ON the bed, let alone sleeping on it. Their early training is the time when you establish your dominance and their boundaries. Only adult dogs should earn this privilege.* Also puppies run the risk of house training accidents. Beds are difficult to clean, and the fact that they can preserve the scent means that your dog will want to be a repeat offender.* Above all, puppies are small. Letting them sleep in the bed is extremely unsafe.We claimed Read more:Bedroom

Important Dog Training Tips 2006-09-23 18:53:00
You are going to read about dog training here and if you find that what you have read here is something which is worth reading, our task would then be fulfilled.
Dog training can be a grueling process but if done correctly, it can be very rewarding in the end. Whether you have a dog in the city, the suburbs, or the country, a trained dog is always easier to handle, especially when it comes to social situations.
1. Be fair with corrections.
Be sure that your dog comprehends what you want before you correct him for not doing it. Also, let the punishment fit the crime. A correction should not be a release of anger on your dog. Instead, a correction is a way to communicate with your dog, a way to foster in him a clear understanding of his place in your human pack. At its mildest level, a correction can be the absence of praise. Before jerking the leash, remember to ask yourself if you're being fair.
2. Be positive.

Training Older Dog 2006-09-20 19:02:00
If you want to know about dog training, this is the right place to start. We boast of one of the best contents on the web about dog training.

older dog issues require some adaptability. When you're considering training older dog techniques, you have to keep in mind what senior dog problems your older dog has.
Here are some of the training older dog considerations you need to think about:
1. Older dogs may have joint problems. There are some things your older dog isn't going to be able to do. If, for example, you are trying to teach your senior dog to jump up, if your dog isn't doing what you want, it may be because the jump is physically difficult for him because he has older dog joint problems. Even simple tasks like sitting and lying down can be hard for dogs.
Be aware that your older dog might not be responding because of pain or stiffness. Don't get impatient with a slow-to-respond older dog who could have joint problems.
2. Many senior dogs have trouble hearing.

Have you ever wondered if what you know about dog training is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on dog training.
Dog behavior training is both an art and a science. Some experts say that a dog can have up to an 800-word vocabulary. I'm not so convinced of the number of words but I can verify that many of my dogs showed an uncanny ability to figure out exactly what I was trying to communicate.
One of the best dog training tips I ever got was from a neighbor when I got my first puppy. I was about 9 years old and this was the best present my parents had ever given me. My neighbor was an old hand at training dogs and had living proof in his own dog.
The first thing I did when I got Skipper (not sure why I picked that name, it just sounded right) was to rush over and show my neighbor. His name was hard to pronounce so every one in the neighborhood just called him Mr. D. So Mr. D was kind enough to run through some dog trainingbasics a Read more:Dog Training

If you[ believe] you have a relationship with your dog, then building the bond comes down to no more than increasing the strength of that relationship. As with all relationships, building a real relationship requires spending lots time together. Taking him or her out in the world and experiencing life togetheris very important. Develop a way of communicating so that both of you understand the other's needs. Let's take a look at each of these important points >> Spend plenty of quality time together. Also very important is : committing to a number of trials and behaviors that you and your dog can look forward to.
