			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/26.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-388" title="dog in a crate" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/26-300x195.png" alt="" width="300" height="195" /></a>Crate training an older dog differs slightly from crate training puppies but follows the same basic principles. It is important to note that older dogs have already some bad habits and one needs to give himself more time to eliminate them and overwrite with the good ones</strong>.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">That is why more patience and consistence is required while crate training an older dog. Additionally, some older dogs will simply resist this method of training and you won’t be able to do anything about it. Having mentioned all of these optimistic perspectives let’s try to get your dog inside the crate <img src='http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-387"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Step 1 &#8211; How To Purchase The Right Crate?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/92.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-389" title="dog crate 2" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/92-300x173.png" alt="" width="300" height="173" /></a>First and maybe the most important part of crate training an older dog is the process of buying and using the crate. The best option is to go for a wire crate as it is more resistant to biting and chewing than the plastic one.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Make sure you will also get a smooth floor so that your dog will be able to lie comfortably on it. The crate needs to be big enough for your dog to sit and turn around easily but not bigger than the sleeping pad you will put inside. If you go for a crate that’s too big your dog may use one corner of it as a toilet if forced to. This will overwrite what he was taught during the house breaking training.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Step 2 &#8211; How To Make It A Cosy And Friendly Place?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/103.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-390" title="dog relaxing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/103.png" alt="" width="293" height="193" /></a>While crate training an older dog you will also need to put inside it a heavy dish with water and some food as well as chewing toys and something that will remind the dog of you (old t-shirt would be perfect).</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Place the crate close to the main social area in your house so that the dog can always feel the presence of you or your family members and remember to move the crate to your bedroom when you go to sleep. This way you will boost the sense of security your dog should be developing and be able to control his physiological needs. Make sure you take the dog outside when he starts to circle and sniff around as it means he really needs to eliminate.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Step 3 &#8211; How To Convince The Dog To Move In?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>In order to begin the proper part of crate training an older dog &#8211; helping the dog to move in to his new home, you need to follow few easy steps. First, put some sort of a treat inside the crate. This can either be a snack or chewing toy stuffed with food.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Praise the dog as soon as he enters the crate and let him out if he doesn’t want to stay inside. Start putting his meals inside the crate regularly so that he can adjust to it and, as soon as he will lay down on his sleeping pad, slowly close the door while still praising the dog. Stay there with him and open the crate door after a while. Next time he does that close the door and leave him for a while. Don’t come running if you hear him whining, you cannot reward such behavior because he will learn how to use it against you in the future. Wait till he stops and then open the door and let him out. By using this method of crate training an older dog your pet should feel comfortable staying inside the crate within a week or so.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Crate training is a great cure for majority of the dog related problems you may encounter. It speeds up toilet training, helps in eliminating undesired behaviors and keeps your pet out of trouble.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/123.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-383" title="dog crate" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/123.png" alt="" width="150" height="223" /></a>Crate training an older dog is definitely worth doing because it’s one of the best ways to toilet train you pet or keep him out of trouble while you’re away.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">It is also useful when one considers traveling with his pet as crate makes it easier for a dog to survive the trip and adjust to the new environment. However, it is important to remember that crate training an older dog is slightly different than crate training puppies. Mainly because adult pets are more resistant to new things as their brains have already been formed and it’s hard to change some of the deep rooted habits.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-382"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Tip 1 &#8211; Get The Right Sized Crate</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/132.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-384" title="dog crate 2" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/132.png" alt="" width="223" height="182" /></a>One of the most important tips I can give you is to buy the crate big enough for your dog to stand and turn around inside but not too big as he may end up making a toilet out of one of it’s corners.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">This happens very rarely and only if you keep your pet closed for too long but it may significantly slow down the potty training process so keep this in mind while choosing your dog’s new home. Second advice is to purchase a wire crate as the plastic ones will not withstand your pet’s biting and chewing habits.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Tip 2 &#8211; Make It Feel Cosy</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/62.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-385" title="dog crate 3" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/62-300x208.png" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a>Second step in crate training an older dog is to make the crate as friendly and comfortable as possible.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">This is why it’s best to cover it’s bottom with a soft pillow and one of your old t-shirts (so that he can smell you when you’re not around). Put a few of his favorite toys inside as well so that he doesn’t get bored too quickly and install a heavy dish with water in case he needs a drink. Make sure to place the crate in a well attended spot in your house because the worst thing that can happen to your pet is to be left alone.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Crate Training An Older Dog Tip 3 &#8211; Let’s Get Him In!</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Now, this is the hardest part of crate training an older dog. Mainly because he may not like the idea of being closed in such a small cube, especially if he has been running free since puppyhood.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">You will have to lure him in by putting a few of his favorite treats inside. You can also force him to enter the crate if you begin giving him regular meals inside it. He will have to accustom to eating in there and with the flow of time he will get used to it. Make sure to pay close attention to his behavior and as soon as he enters his new home confidently and lays down to get some rest close the door. Stay with him for a bit, petting his head, praising etc. and, if there’s someone else in the room, leave him for a few minutes. After you get back open the door, praise him cheerfully once again and reward with a tasty treat while his still inside. Repeat this process for a few weeks or until you see that your dog doesn’t mind being closed in the crate.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Crate training is a great cure for majority of the dog related problems you may encounter.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/37.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-374" title="dog peeing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/37-300x214.png" alt="" width="300" height="214" /></a>If you’re looking for the best way to potty train a puppy you’ve come to the right place. I’ve prepared a set of tips that will help you to toilet train your puppy in a few weeks without having to clean stinky spots on the carpet over and over again.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">While potty training your puppy you need to remember that young dogs can’t control their colon and bladder and will often eliminate without warning. This will happen so be prepared for it and don’t get angry as cleaning is one of the inevitable parts of potty training.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-373"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Way To Potty Train A Puppy Part 1 &#8211; Keep An Eye On The Clock</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/54.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-375" title="clock" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/54.png" alt="" width="260" height="270" /></a>Best way to potty train a puppy and help you control your dog’s behavior is to know that puppies need to eliminate within 15 &#8211; 20 minutes after their last meal.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">It is your responsibility to observe them and look for signs of coming defecation. Your dog will usually walk in a circle and sniff around, looking for a place where he can eliminate safely. If you see him doing this say firmly ‘outside’ and take him to the specified place in your yard where he can finish the job. This is the best way to potty train a puppy. You will need to do the same after each meal, playtime, short naps and before your dog falls asleep for the night. Your puppy is too young to control his physiological mechanisms and it’s you who should make it easier for him to understand what is allowed and what is not.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Way To Potty Train A Puppy Part 2 &#8211; Create A ‘Den’ For Your Pet</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/111.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-376" title="dog crate" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/111.png" alt="" width="222" height="143" /></a>Next, you should design a “den” area for your dog because he will naturally look for a place that could play this role. Dogs are den animals and they don’t soil their sleeping areas.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Best way to potty train a puppy is to invest in a crate or create a small sleeping area somewhere in your room where he will not eliminate. This will allow him to learn how to control his colon and bladder. It’s your task to monitor his behavior and take him out whenever he needs it. With the flow of time, you will be able to trust your dog more and move his crate/den to a different part of your apartment. This will further enhance his training and he should understand that the more reliable he is the more freedom he gets.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Way To Potty Train A Puppy Part 3 &#8211; Where Is The Toilet?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/122.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-377" title="grass" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/122-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Next step is to designate an area in your garden/yard where he can eliminate and make sure it’s being cleaned every once in a while.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Dogs hate to urinate or defecate in a dirty and stinky place and will resist from doing this until they find a better place (which often might be your house). Also, try to take your dog on a regular walks as it will increase his metabolism and enhance his elimination.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Way To Potty Train A Puppy Part 4 &#8211; Punishing Makes Things Worse!</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>One last thing you need to know when looking for the best way to potty train a puppy is not to punish your dog when you find out that he has made a mess somewhere inside your house.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Dogs are not able to connect wet carpet with the fact of elimination. Simply clean the place and start paying more attention to your dog’s behavior. If you catch him eliminating indoors say firmly ‘outside’ and take him to the yard, than praise the dog if he finishes the job outdoors in order to reinforce the good behavior.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Now, I know how annoying it is when your pet eliminates on the carpet. It stinks, it&#8217;s nasty and makes you wanna hit him!

<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">I</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">n the following paragraphs I will share with you some of the most crucial elements of best puppy training and how to implement them properly in order to raise a friendly and obedient dog. We will cover 4 most important areas: feeding, organizing a den for your dog, basics of obedience training and eliminating bad habits.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span id="more-365"></span></span></strong></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 1 &#8211; Feeding</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-367" title="dog food" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-300x269.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="269" /></a>While carrying out best puppy training it is crucial that you feed your dog with the right food, which in most cases is dry kibble.<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>It already contains all the nutritional elements he will ever need and is beneficial to his teeth.</strong> </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Canned food shouldn’t be the basis of all the meals as it is less nutritious and, what’t also important, more expensive. Make sure to give your dog small portions of food and, if he’s still hungry after eating, add a bit more. However, never leave a full bowl available because dogs are very voracious and can get obese quickly by overeating.</span></strong></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 2 &#8211; Make Him Feel At Home</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/82.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-368" title="dog home" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/82-300x223.png" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a>Your pet will need his own little leaving area so make sure to prepare one before he moves in. This is because dogs are naturally den animals and use such place to hide from all the stress of an everyday life and get some rest.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">In order to provide best puppy training you can either buy a crate or design your dog’s new home by yourself (part of a room isolated with a baby gate will do). This technique helps massively when it comes to potty training as your pet will do everything to keep his sleeping area clean and, as a result, will learn how to control his bladder and colon.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 3 &#8211; Become An Alpha Male</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/25.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-369 alignright" title="alpha male" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/25.png" alt="" width="261" height="198" /></a>In order to begin obedience training your dog needs to know his position in the family hierarchy. Dogs are naturally pack animals and they need a leader who will make them feel secure.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">If you can’t play this role than your new pet will feel obliged to take over this position. This is dangerous as canines who perceive themselves as alpha males may become aggressive and uncontrollable. Make sure you are firm and consistent with your training from the very beginning and don’t let you dog snarl or bite you.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 4 &#8211; Eliminate The Bad Habits</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>One of the most important parts of the best puppy training method I share with you is to stop your dog from getting involved in undesired habits such as excessive barking, biting or chewing.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">These subjects are too broad to be covered in one paragraph but there’s one cure that works for all of them &#8211; eliminating boredom. Just make sure your dog has always something to do. Start taking him on regular walks, try obedience training, buy him a variety of toys. The more busy he will be doing things you want him to do the less often he will indulge in bad behaviors.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">All of us want to raise a friendly and obedient dog that will be a pleasure to live with. No excessive barking or biting, jumping on people or urinating on the couch.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/21.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-358" title="dog playing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/21.png" alt="" width="287" height="204" /></a>Best puppy training method is based on a few solid foundations. As long as you understand them and remain patient and consistent in implementing some of the dog training techniques outlines below you can achieve great success and raise a friendly and well-behaving pet.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">In this short article I will discuss how to approach the subject of toilet training your dog, feeding him and stopping some of the bad habits he might have developed. All of these form the  basis for the entire range of the best puppy training methods out there.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;"><span id="more-357"></span>Best Puppy Training Part 1 &#8211; How To Toilet Train My Dog?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>There are two crucial elements of the housebreaking process:</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/61.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-359" title="dog peeing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/61-300x221.png" alt="" width="300" height="221" /></a>a) <strong>Firstly, you need to provide your pet with a ‘den’, a place where he can hide from all the stressful stimuli around him and get some rest.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Dogs are naturally clean animals and they will not soil their leaving space so make sure to use this knowledge to your advantage. Living in a den (crate or part of a room isolated with a baby gate) will force your dog to learn how to control bladder and colon and resist from eliminating indoors until he’s let outside.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">b) <strong>Secondly, you will have to specify a toilet area somewhere in the yard and start taking your dog to this place on a regular basis.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong></strong> Use a leash to limit your pet’s movement possibilities so that he has to stay within the chosen area. Remember to use the same command while he’s eliminating in order to associate it in his mind with the process of urinating or defecating. Your dog should quickly learn that when you say ‘outside’ he is supposed to go to the usual spot and relieve himself.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 2 &#8211; How Do I Feed My Pet?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/43.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-360" title="dog food" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/43.png" alt="" width="285" height="190" /></a>Best puppy training cannot be done without a proper approach to feeding. If you don’t spend a bit of time researching this subject and give your dog meals that lack vitamins, minerals or nutritional elements he will quickly loose health.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">The best solution is to use dry kibble which is a highly nutritious and well-balanced food source and will significantly improve your dog’s teeth condition. Don’t ever leave the food available for longer than 15 minutes or refill the bowl in case your pet emptied it. Dogs are voracious animals and they will eat more even if they are not hungry. This can result in an obese animal that will require a lot of health care in the future because of it’s excessive body weight, weak bones etc.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Best Puppy Training Part 3 &#8211; How To Eliminate Bad Habits?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Your dog may quickly get involved in such bad habits as excessive barking, chewing valuable stuff or even eating poop. All of these can be caused by boredom and can be eliminated if you provide your pet with something to do.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Make sure to take your dog on regular walks where he can socialize with other animals and play fight with them. You can also sign him up for an obedience class where you will get a chance to teach him some basic obedience commands and learn more about your pet’s behavior. Combination of mental and physical efforts that is a significant part of such courses will make your dog tired really fast and a tired dog is a calm dog <img src='http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It will be beneficial to his health as well, as plenty of movement will help him burn fat and strengthen the bones. These few best puppy training tips will help you raise a healthy and well-behaving dog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/36.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-350" title="dog training" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/36.png" alt="" width="247" height="166" /></a>If you’re looking for best puppy training method you have come to the right place. In this short article I will outline the most crucial elements of the best puppy training and point you in the right direction in case you would want to find out more information in the future.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">It is important to understand that your puppy’s behavior, character and temperament will depend mainly on your actions. You need to remember that your pet is watching and listening to you even when you’re not aware of it so make sure to be a good role model for him and stay consistent with whatever training techniques you use.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-349"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">1. Take the alpha male role</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>The first element of the best puppy training method is to clearly state who is the alpha male in your family &#8211; you or the new pet.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong></strong> Young dogs will often bite and play-fight with their litter mates in order to determine who’s the leader. These games reflect future conflicts one may have with his dog while trying to win a leading role in the pack (the moment your new dog joins the family he will think of it as his pack).  You need to show dominance by being firm and consistent. If your puppy continues to annoy you by biting and growling you can roll your dog onto his back and hold him in this position till he stops rumbling.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">2. Don’t punish your dog</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/53.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-351" title="cute dogs" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/53.png" alt="" width="259" height="247" /></a>Second element of the best puppy training is to avoid punishing the dog for all the bad habits he have developed so far.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">There is no point in screaming on your puppy because it will only make him more stressed and confused. He might have problems with focusing on what you want him to do if you keep screaming at him. Don’t ever hit your dog! This is the biggest mistake you can make and it usually results in an angry and nervous animal that has a phobia of new people and will not hesitate to attack them. Litter mates do not hit themselves in natural conditions and such behavior is treated by them as a physical threat that needs to be faced with aggression.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">3. Use positive reinforcement</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/42.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-352" title="dog training" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/42.png" alt="" width="286" height="191" /></a>If you want to learn best puppy training method you will have to use positive reinforcement techniques instead of punishing your dog.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Make sure to praise him a lot and pet his head every time he does something good and desired. Use treats like dog food or snacks to reward good behavior and thus reinforce the desired habits. This technique is much faster than using violence and will allow you to raise an easy-going and relaxed dog that will likely become friends with all living creatures.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">4. Learn your dog’s body language</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/131.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-355" title="dog playing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/131-300x117.png" alt="" width="300" height="117" /></a>Last but not least, in order to implement best puppy training one needs to understand dog’s body language as well.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">You need to be able to communicate with your pet and knowing what certain type of tail movement or ears position means will make it much easier. Also, take some time to investigate the meaning of various sounds that dogs make. Howling, barking, growling or whining, all of them communicate a different story and understanding them will help you out while solving dog problems.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">All of us want to raise a friendly and obedient dog that will be a pleasure to live with. No excessive barking or biting, jumping on people or urinating on the couch.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/41.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-344" title="barking dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/41.png" alt="" width="245" height="156" /></a>Dogs bark out of boredom, anxiety, stress, lack of attention, and for many other reasons.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">If one knows the exact causes of this, it is possible to eliminate this annoying habit within a few weeks time, by implementing barking control. Dogs will often resist training initially, but with a consistent method they can be trained not to bark. Below are the 4 most effective ways to stop your dog from barking and regain the piece of mind you once had <img src='http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-343"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>1. Implement barking control by tiring your dog out.</strong> Dogs should be as exhausted as possible so that the only thing they can think of is sleeping. You can either start by taking him on regular walks, or sign up for an obedience class where you will learn how to teach your dog basic obedience commands. A combination of mental and physical efforts will make him tired fast.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-345" title="dog playing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6.png" alt="" width="170" height="226" /></a>2. Sort out some entertainment.</strong> If you’re leaving home for a few hours every day, it may be a little harder to implement barking control. Your dog may quickly get bored and that is why you will have to make sure that he has plenty of toys to play with. A good solution are Kong toys which can be stuffed with dog food or snacks and will force your dog to work really hard to get the treat out. You can also leave the TV switched on as some breeds enjoy watching it.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>3. Use a water gun. Yes, you heard me.</strong> Every time your dog barks at you shoot him straight at his face and say firmly ‘quiet’.  Repeat the process several more times as consistency is the basis of barking control. Dogs will need your praise in order for the good habit to be reinforced. So reward your pet for being silent but remember to be vigilant and use the water gun each time he gets back to his old behavioral patterns. This should associate barking with an unpleasant feeling of being wet.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/52.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-346" title="dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/52.png" alt="" width="252" height="249" /></a>4. Tell him to ‘stop barking’. <span style="font-weight: normal;">A very simple method to have a barking controlled dog is based on rewarding your dog for being silent. Every time he starts barking say firmly ‘stop barking’ and, if he does, give him a tasty treat. Your pet will need to smell, lick and eventually eat it and this would take a few seconds during which he won’t bark. Remember to praise him for being silent and repeat the exercise, but try to make him stay calm for a few seconds longer each time.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>5. Debarking. <span style="font-weight: normal;">A very drastic way to stop barking. Control dog’s loudness by  reducing the size of his vocal cords using surgery. I don’t recommend this method because it serves only one side (the owner) and is harmful to the pet. Also, it will not eliminate the mental causes for barking and can make your dog even more frustrated and stressed.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Now, I know how annoying it is to raise a dog who keeps barking 24/7 (and it&#8217;s not an exaggeration!) It stops your from getting a proper sleep, makes your neighbors  go nuts and often causes you to hit your pet.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/14.png"></a><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/19.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-341" title="barking dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/19.png" alt="" width="259" height="247" /></a>Barking is one of the easiest ways to communicate with the surrounding world dogs know of. They will bark when scared, bored or happy and it’s your job to identify the cause so that you can reduce the amount of barking heard.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Remember that barking control dog as every other form of training requires a lot of patience and consistency and cannot be based on punishing your pet for every sound he makes. Don’t scream at your pet or hit him as this will only slow down the entire process and make him more confused as to what you want him to do. Also, barking controlled dog should be moved to a place where he won’t be exposed to stimuli that may cause barking such as loud noises from the street, alarms or ringing phones.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-329"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 1 &#8211; Tell Him To Stop Barking</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/18.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-340" title="dog training 1" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/18.png" alt="" width="190" height="253" /></a>One of the simplest barking control dog methods I know of is to tell the dog to stop barking <img src='http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  However, it’s not that easy as you will need to prepare plenty of tasty treats first and be very consistent with silencing your dog.<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Every time he starts to bark say firmly ‘stop barking’, wait for a few seconds and, if your pet remains calm, reward him. As soon as your pet grabs the treat he will have to smell, lick and eat it and will not be able to bark while doing this. Remember to praise him cheerfully for being quiet. Repeat this exercise but each time make him wait in silence for a little longer.</span></strong></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 2 &#8211; Alone Dogs Bark Twice As Much</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Second barking control dog method I use is to teach the dog that staying alone is not a big deal. Dogs often bark out of anxiety and specific steps have to be undertaken to eliminate this bad habit.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">When you have to leave your pet for longer periods of time regularly it is worth training him not to celebrate each of your arrivals or grieve when you disappear. Make these events as normal as possible and don’t praise or hug your pet when you leave or get back home. Simply say ‘good dog’ and pat him on the head so that he knows everything is fine. While staying in home try leaving your dog alone in a room for a few minutes. Then return and get back to work without paying any attention to him. If he jumps all over the room and barks trying to express how happy he is from your comeback pretend not to see this and act as though he wouldn’t be there. Your pet will mimic your behavior and if you won’t make a big thing out of leaving him alone he won’t either.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 3 &#8211; Have Your Ever Used A Water Gun?</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/17.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-339" title="water gun 1" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/17.png" alt="" width="192" height="262" /></a>I love this barking control dog method as it’s quite funny, makes no harm to your pet and works really well.<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Arm yourself with a water gun and shoot your dog straight at his face whenever he starts barking. It should be so shocking to him that he will instantly stop barking. Remember to say firmly ‘quiet’ while doing this as we want to associate this word in his mind with the unpleasant feeling of being wet. Be consistent while implementing this trick and you should see first results within a week.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Now, I know how annoying it is to raise a dog who keeps barking 24/7 (and it&#8217;s not an exaggeration!)

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/35.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-323" title="barking dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/35.png" alt="" width="166" height="251" /></a>Barking control your dog doesn’t have to be hard and one can learn how to stop  dog from barking in a matter of days. It is important to understand that barking is one of the main ways to communicate that your dog will use and you cannot eliminate it entirely.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">There are methods to reduce barking to minimum but we still want our dog to bark when asked to or when something alien or potentially dangerous is approaching. In order to start implementing barking control on a dog we need to understand the reasons why dogs bark. Majority of them will do it out of boredom and lack of attention. Very often they are left alone for the entire day and will look for a way to entertain themselves. Dogs like their own voice and will develop a habit of barking for fun if left alone for too long.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-322"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 1 &#8211; Keep Him Occupied</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/91.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-324" title="dog playing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/91-300x133.png" alt="" width="300" height="133" /></a>In order to start barking control dog you will have to redirect dog’s attention to something that will keep him occupied.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">A good solution is to buy a Kong toy which can be stuffed with food and forces the dog to work really hard to get it out piece by piece. You can also leave the radio or TV on. Not only will they “hide” background sounds that may trigger barking but also provide the dog with some entertainment (TV shows etc.) for a few hours at least.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 2 &#8211; Make Him Exhausted</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>A great barking control dog method is to make your dog as tired as possible.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Take him on a long walk where you could play with him or let him socialize with other dogs. You can also sign him up for an obedience class or some other form of training. Mental exercises will jade your dog even further so be sure to choose wisely. What we want to do is to make the dog so exhausted that the only thing he’ll want to do is sleeping.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 3 &#8211; Shoot Him From A Water Gun!</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-325" title="water gun" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2.png" alt="" width="281" height="198" /></a>Barking control your dog can also be enhanced by using a little bit of water. How? Every time your dog barks shoot from a water gun straight at this face.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">This is usually so shocking that he will instantly stop barking. Make sure to be consistent and squirt some water at his face every time he starts to bark. You will also have to say firmly ‘quiet’ in order to associate this word with a possibility of getting wet. With the flow of time your dog will react on the word and stop barking in order to avoid an unpleasant feeling.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Barking Control Dog Method 4 &#8211; Perform Cordectomy (Not Recommended!)</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>If you’re really annoyed with your dog barking all the time you might have considered the most drastic barking control dog method &#8211; cordectomy.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">It’s also called debarking and is a surgery that will result in resizing your dog’s vocal chords. This is not the best choice as it harms the dog for the convenience of its owner and will not eliminate the barking entirely. What’s worse, it will preserve the mental causes of barking so that the dog will remain bored, frustrated or stressed (whatever the reason for barking was).</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">As you can see barking control dog doesn’t have to be hard and with a little effort on your side it is possible to eliminate it almost entirely.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Now, I know how annoying it is to raise a dog who keeps barking 24/7 (and it&#8217;s not an exaggeration!) It stops your from getting a proper sleep, makes your neighbors  go nuts and often causes you to hit your pet.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/121.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-315" title="barking dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/121.png" alt="" width="245" height="186" /></a>If you are looking for a way to cure bad dog behavior this is the right place to be.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">I have compiled a list of the 4 most common and widespread bad dog behaviors and explained how to fight them effectively. It is important to be aware of these problems before you purchase a new pet so that you know what to do right from the very beginning of the training process and avoid reinforcing the bad habits.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><span id="more-314"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Bad Dog Behavior Part 1 &#8211; Biting And Nipping</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-316" title="dog nipping" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/101-300x220.png" alt="" width="270" height="198" /></a>Biting and nipping are one of the first problems that new dog owners have to face.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">These behaviors are common for puppies who go through the teething period and look for a way to ease the pain and itching associated with it. You can stop your dog from biting by providing him with chewing toys that will keep him occupied and distracted from nipping parts of your body.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Bad Dog Behavior Part 2 &#8211; Excessive Barking</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-317" title="barking dog" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4.png" alt="" width="272" height="173" /></a>Excessive barking is a particularly annoying dog bad behavior that can drive you and your neighbors nuts, especially if it’s the middle of the night.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">It is usually caused by boredom and is your pet’s way to entertain himself. You can reduce the amount of barking heard by providing your pet with something to do. Try taking him on regular walks, signing up for an obedience class or hiring a pet sitter if you have to leave your four-legged friend alone for an entire day.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Bad Dog Behavior Part 3 &#8211; Whining</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Another annoying habit typical for younger dogs who seek attention.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Canines will also whine in order to signalize that they need to go outside, are hungry, cold or alone. Make sure to eliminate each of these causes by monitoring your pet’s behavior and keeping him close to your bed or a place where you spend majority of the time. However, be careful not to become overreactive as your dog may realize that whining gets him anything he wants and abuse it in the future.</p>
<h2 style="margin: 20px 10px 30px 0px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;"><a href="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/102.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-318" title="dog peeing" src="http://iwanttotrainmydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/102.png" alt="" width="298" height="216" /></a>Bad Dog Behavior Part 4 &#8211; Unexpected Urination</h2>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Almost every new dog owner will have to face this problem and for some folks it is the main reason not to buy a pup.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">However, if one knows the right potty training methods and implements them consistently it is possible to deal with this issue within a few weeks time.</p>
<ul style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">
<li>Make sure to monitor your pet’s behavior and look for such signs as circling or sniffing as they directly precede the elimination time.</li>
<li>Buy a crate that will serve as a den. Your pet will not soil his new home (dogs are naturally clean animals) and will have to learn how to resist from eliminating until he is let outside.</li>
