Basic CanineTrainingTips WHO’S A GOOD DOG?
Hi everyone!
or letting us play with our friends at the dog park are all great ways to help us get some energy out. This is one of the real secrets to having a well-behaved dog: Tire them out. We’re ready for a nap just thinking about all that running around! Puppies are notorious for having accidents in the house, but it can happen to dogs of all ages. DogTipper.com recommends getting to the bottom of your pup’s potty problem. For puppies, good ol’ fashioned potty training is probably the answer. Make sure to reward them after they do their business outside. But if you have an adult dog that has accidents in the house, an underlying health issue, like a urinary infection, might be the culprit. Anxiety or being left home alone for too long could also be the cause. If your pup is getting outside regularly and the problem continues, take them to the vet to make sure they’re okay.
The new year sure makes the humans want to improve themselves! And we’re all for it, especially when it means we get to walk more. When you’re making your goals, don’t forget to set some training goals for your canine companions! Plus, January is National Dog Training Month, so it’s the perfect time to get started or recommit! Training may make you think of tricks like sit, stay, and shake, but it’s also an important tool for addressing behavioral issues. Like most puppies, when we were little, we loved to chew! This is totally normal, but to make sure your pup doesn’t destroy your belongings, redirect them to a chew toy. In fact, make sure to have plenty of toys around for them to sink their teeth into. Some of our dog friends are more active than others. It really depends on the breed, but all dogs need exercise. Playing fetch, going on walks or runs,
engaged and to strengthen your bond. If you want to fast-track your pup’s progress on obedience or behavioral training, hire a professional or take a class. If you just want to add some fun tricks to your repertoire, check out the Kikopup channel on YouTube. Happy New Year and happy training!
