Why doesn't my dog listen to me ?

Mostly because you are not speaking a "language" your puppy or dog can truly understand. Or, it might be your dog has learned to ignore you. Clear communication with a canine is something humans must be taught. Body language, vocal tone - these are examples of how a dog communicates. Sometimes our body language and vocal tone are not understood by our dogs and sometimes we come in loud and clear - more threatening than inviting. We can help you understand how your dog thinks and learns. We also suggest you read the article "How Dog's Learn" located on this website. Read More

What is the best way to housebreak my puppy or older dog ?

Most owners have the highest expectations, with the least understanding, when it comes to teaching their dogs how to go to the bathroom outside, while on a walk or in a designated area.

To really establish how you are going to accomplish this daunting task, you must determine these three things;

• Where will the puppy sleep at night

• Where will the puppy stay during the day or when you are not there

• Where will your puppy be when you are home

Crate-training is the simplest and most effective way I know of to housebreak your puppy or older dog. However, not all puppies take to the crate. You can still effectively housebreak your dog without one. Installing a doggie door can oftentimes solve many housebreaking issues.

Dogs must eliminate and puppies more often than older dogs because of more food intake with less control of their bodily functions. Dogs do not come into the home automatically knowing that the bathroom is outside or, if necessary, on paper or a pad. Teaching your puppy or dog to hold it’s bladder and bowels requires you to utilize it’s natural instincts. Teaching it how to let you know when it must go outside is hit-and-miss. Since many young dogs have not learned how to let you know, close supervision is necessary. Read More
