This is just a hodge podge section where I can put anything you should do with your dog.
1. Get an electrical fence. This definitely keeps them in, and makes sure that they don't want to get out, in fear of being shocked.
2. Do one command three or for times for training at a time. If you do too many, your dog may get sick from treats.
3. Don't abuse your dog. If you treat it well, but make it known that you're the boss, you're dog will be happier and healthier, but still obey you.
4. Don't make your dog's favorite spot up high. This will make them think that they're the leader of the pack.
5. Give your dog frequent walks. You're dog has all the energy, and needs to use it somewhere. If you don't want your dog runnning around in circles in your house, then take your dog for frequent walks.
6. When your dog is smelly, give it a bath! This is pretty much a DUH statement, but it's true. And don't think that you can just give it a quick rinse off and leave it for a year. Dogs are like peole , and need baths, too. Also, they roll around in whatever smells "good" to them. Don't disipline your dog when they're stinky, because they're trying to please you.
7. Brush your dog frequently. My dog doesn't shed, so when she needs a brushing, she really needs it. Brushing also makes your dog's coat shine.

Puppies
When your dog has puppies, what do you do? Here are some tips on how to train your dog.
1. To get your puppy housebroken, when it starts to go on your carpet, carry it outside quickly.
2. Get the dog used to its name. The first few days, don't call it other names besides its own. That will confuse the puppy.
3. To train your puppy, train in a quiet area with treats and a leash.
4. When training, use hand signals and your voice. It will get the puppy used to both, and it seems to work well for training.
5. To train your puppy how to walk on a leash, keep the dog right at your heels and make sure it stays on the sidewalk. After a while, the puppy will keep at your pace.
6. To get the puppy familiar with you, keep playing with it. Eventually, the puppy will learn your name.
7. Stay calm with your puppy. It will frustrate you, but stay at a soft tone.
8. When you start the command "no", say it firmly but not to loud.

Here's another one, a Golden Retriever and a Beagle. What would that be? A Geagle? A Betriever? Thanks Anna!!

Dog Breeds
There are hundreds of dog breeds, but my personal favorites are the Yorshire Terrier, the Beagle, the Jack Russell, and, of course, my dog, Molly. She is a Shih-Tzu Poodle mix, and she's very cuddly and soft. Please tell me your favorite dog breeds and I'll post them up.
