DO YOU

really know what to look for on an ingredient panel or ask for?

Grain Free foods are the latest .... but what you don't want in the first place is pet food without soy, corn or wheat. 

IF a pet food doesn't have all that crap and have meat proteins up high on the panel  so ????  In that case do you really need a grain free food? 

Even grain free foods have some sort of grain... like rice or oatmeal or potato.... to name a few.

GETTING A NEW PUPPY - TRAINING

1. Be Consistent With Puppy Training Tasks


2. Use Healthy Dog Treats As Rewards
When your puppy goes to the bathroom outside make sure to reward them by having a healthy dog treat ready. Classical conditioning is still the best way to train a dog. Your puppy will begin to associate the rewards with the action, thus having the reward become the number one driving factor.

3. Positive Reinforcement Is Always Best
When your puppy does something right make sure he knows it! Say "good boy" or "yes" in a positive tone, and use the same reinforcement cue each time, so they don't get confused. Positive reinforcement works ten times better than negative and in the long run, you and your pet will be much happier.

4. Help Your Older Dog, Too: Puppies Follow The Leader
Dogs often pick up good behaviors (and) bad from other dogs in the family. If you have an older dog in the house make sure to reinforce the same behaviors that you are teaching your puppy. If your senior dog is a pro at basic behaviors, this will be a great help as your older dog will also be teaching your puppy these good behaviors. Older dogs are very influential to puppies and many times a puppy will learn to mimic their behavior.

5. Train At Your Puppy's Pace
Never push your puppy to learn at a faster pace that they are comfortable. Being consistent with training is important but it is important to never push a puppy past their comfort zone. Most dogs love to learn and with the proper amount of positive reinforcement, they will gradually learn to behave exactly as you wish.

Training your new puppy requires patience, consistency, and persistence. If you follow these steps your puppy will be well trained in no time. Don't get discouraged if it takes longer than expected and if you are getting frustrated, never punish your dog, simply take a deep breathe and relax. Remember - all dogs are unique and can be trained given the right amount love, attention and teaching.
