When your dog won’t listen to your commands, it can be frustrating — and it can also be dangerous.

Tricks For Treats: Training Your Dog With Food

Food is a powerful motivator for dogs — which is why it can often be very effective for obedience training. You are asking your dog to complete what may be a complicated task for her — understand a verbal or visual cue and then perform a desired behavior.

How To Socialize An Adult Dog

Most dog owners know that the best time to socialize their pup is when they are, in fact, a puppy.

After twelve weeks, it can be very difficult to get a puppy to accept anything new or unfamiliar. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to socialize a dog properly within this window.

The fall can mean back to school for kids as well as dogs. Obedience courses are great for young dogs that need to learn basic commands, manners, and socialization skills. Typically, obedience courses will teach them things like how to sit and lie down, they will learn how to interact with other dogs and people, and they will become better behaved in general.

Stopping Your Dog From Stealing Your Food

After enjoying a delicious family dinner, you take your plate to the sink. You turn back to grab the dish of leftovers — and your dog is already standing on the table and chowing down! How did he get so fast? If your dog steals food, it can make you paranoid. You work hard to keep everything out of reach. You make sure to push in the chairs, so she can’t climb up.
