Raising A Happy Dog
Jerry Yap Says:
I have four loving dogs that are the greatest addition to the family. They are so much part of my family. That’s why I do a lot of research on dog training besides dog food, because I want the best information that benefits my family and me.
I am now sharing these few tips to help dog lovers gain a better understanding in raising a happier dog based on the years of training mine! I truly do believe in, "The more you know, the more you grow!" In this case, your dogs benefit from your growth.
Dogs are sociable, lovable, excitable and loyal and that's why we love them! But when they start to pick up undesirable traits such as chewing furniture, biting, not coming when called, barking or running away, it can be a real headache for dog owners.
So, it's important to start training your dog from a very early age so that they will become subdued and more comfortable in a variety of social situations.
In this series of Raising A Happy Dog, I will be sending my own personal 3 tips how to avoid wrong actions in raising a dog and how to take right actions.
Here is my first tip for you.
Tip 1 Play with your dog daily
Dogs are never meant to spend their entire lives alone in the backyard or anywhere else. Like people, they need companionship to thrive. They need to feel they are welcome and useful members of their pack. And they need to play.
When you return home, tired and needing a rest but your dog is jumping all over you, playing may be the last thing you want to do. But try and see the same situation from your dog's point of view. He's been alone all day and his best friend, his hero, his companion through thick and think just came home. His enthusiastic greeting may be the happiest, most thoughtful and genuinely felt expression of acceptance of you in your entire day. My black Labrador always greets me this way every single day. It’s a great welcome and never fails to wipe the stress of work off my face!
Take your dog for a walk, play tug, fetch, rollover, shake a paw, throw a Frisbee. Spend time every day just playing and you will notice it's not just fun for your dog, it's fun for you too!
If you meet your dog’s emotional need for companionship and play, your dog will feel happy and secure. Discipline problems will be fewer and training easier.

Four Leash Walking Tips
Eric Says:
A few years back a very distraught lady walked into my
office. When I looked at her, I thought she was recently
assaulted. She sat down and started to cry. I offered her
a glass of water and waited. When she calmed down a little
she started to explain that the two black eyes and the
broken nose were from her 95lb. black lab.
She told me that her dog was uncontrollable, that just a
couple of days before she had attempted to take him for a
walk. As she was leaving her house her dog saw a cat across
the street and took off. She held onto to the leash until
she tripped and went face first into the door jam - breaking
her nose and giving her the two black eyes.
She added that she really loved her dog but did not know how
she could keep him if she could not walk him. She tried choke
and prong collars but nothing was working.
I assured her that we could get her dog walking on leash and
showed her a Gentle Leader head collar. I explained that choke
collars are not very effective for most dogs. Prong or pinch
collars can be very effective but some dogs have a high
tolerance and do not get the results that you need.
Gentle Leaders are effective because they work by controlling
your dog's head. Where the head goes the body must follow.
Most training collars work by trying to control the dog's body.
A traditional collar that goes around your dog's neck allows your
dog to put all of his weight into the collar making it difficult
if not impossible to control the dog.
A Gentle Leader goes around your dog's nose. The leash is
attached under your dog's chin. When your dog tries to pull
his head will turn, making it very difficult to put his body
weight into it.
But there are some drawbacks to Gentle Leader head collars.
For instance:
The first time you put one on your dog there is a good chance
your dog is going to hate it. You really need to take some time
to get your dog used to it.
The other drawback is that the Gentle Leader looks like a
muzzle and people will think your dog is aggressive.
Once your dog is used to the Gentle Leader walking your dog
will be much more enjoyable. It really is like power steering
for your dog.
The distraught lady that I described at the beginning of this
email ended up keeping her lab. We did just two training sessions together and she has had no problems walking since then.
There are many different kinds of training collars and harnesses
for dogs. Gentle Leaders, choke collars, prong collars, no pull harnesses just to name a few. Different dogs have different needs. Sometimes you need to experiment to find out what works best on
your dog.
Pulling on leash is a very common obedience problem for a lot
of dog owners. There are many different types of collars on the
market today. With all the choices dog owners have today it is
easy to get confused. In this email you'll discover a collar
that will stop your dog from pulling.

heel, leash walking, gentle leader, halti, head collars, walking

Did you know that one of the biggest problems for dog owners
is leash walking? Every week I get a call from someone
complaining about the way their dog pulls.
It can actually be dangerous for you to walk your dog if he
is a really bad puller. I've seen people dragged down and hurt
by how hard their dog pulls.
I'm going to share with you here some valuable tips on leash
walking. Here they are:
Tip #1: Never try to walk a dog that has been cooped up all day.
If your dog has been lying around waiting for you, let him
burn off some of his energy before you take him for a walk.
Throw a ball, play tug-o-war, or do something to calm him down
before the walk.
Tip #2: Use a gentle leader.
One of the best collars on the market is the gentle leader
head collar. It works by controlling your dog's head. When
you control the head you can control the body, much the same
as a horse bridle is used. They really are great collars.
Tip #3: Teach him where you want him to be.
Your dog does not know that he is supposed to be walking on
your side. Spend some time using a lure. Put a little piece
of food in your left hand and hold it close to your dog's
nose. Have him follow the lure; reward him every five or
six feet. As he gets better, go for longer and longer periods.
Tip #4: Don't let your dog's opposition reflex kick in.
When you apply pressure, your dog will resist with counter-
pressure. If you pull back on the leash, he will resist and
pull harder...opposition reflex.
The secret to leash walking is always keeping the leash loose.
Don't allow the leash to become tight.
Good Luck!

Aggressive versus Passive Dogs
Aggressive versus Passive Dogs
Just as humans have personalities and ways of acting, so do animals. When you decide to adopt a dog, one of the things you’ll take into consideration is whether you want to go for a passive quiet dog, an outgoing aggressive dog, or one somewhere in between. If you need or want a guard dog, obviously an aggressive type would be what you’d look for. If you have young children or are elderly, a more passive breed would be much better for your situation. When you start studying the breeds, you’ll know about general characteristics and once you start actually meeting some dogs; you’ll be able to evaluate individuals.
In the working world there are good reasons to pick one over the other. If you are in law-enforcement or security and employ a bomb sniffing dog, you definitely want one who is willing to sit quietly by the suspected weapon, rather than digging and pawing at it. If you need a dog for a K-9 police unit, he or she should be willing and able to chase and bring down a criminal. Drug dogs are also on the aggressive side as they learn to try and dig out the drugs they find. Those adorable little Beagles that work for US customs are a combination of both behaviours. They are assertive enough to seek out fruits and vegetables, but their training has taught them to just sit once they find them being smuggled or brought in by mistake.
Most areas, at least in cities, have strongly enforced leash laws, but there is always someone who doesn’t obey it or dogs that escape from their homes or leashes. Ideally an aggressive dog should never set eyes on an innocent person unless it’s through a high chain-link fence. Too many of us have found out the hard way that we should always expect the unexpected. Far too many people are attacked each year and severely injured or even killed. A lot of them are children. If for some reason you think you must have an aggressive dog, be sure that it can’t attack an innocent person. Also be aware that some of the “scarier” breeds do sometimes make wonderful pets, but they do have aggression in their heritage, and you never know when it will surface. If for instance you have a Rottweiler, Doberman Pincer, or Pit Bull, don’t let children unfamiliar with how to act around dogs anywhere near him unless they are properly supervised.
What should you do if you are out for a stroll or a run and suddenly find yourself confronted by an angry looking aggressive dog? Your first instinct is to run (if you’re not running already) but don’t do it. If you are running or jogging, slow way down and stop if the dog doesn’t back off. Don’t engage in eye contact with the dog and don’t make any sudden movements that may be seen by him as aggression on your part. Try being friendly using your best happy doggie voice. Turn your hands palm side up and start telling him or her that it’s such a lovely and sweet dog. Do your very best not to show how scared you actually are. With luck, the dog will believe you and want to be friends. Spend another minute interacting and then turn slowly and walk away. It may sound cruel but if you know you are likely to have an experience such as this you may want to start carrying pepper spray with you. Use it only as a last resort, but you do have a right to protect yourself. Once you are safe, report the problem to your local animal control so they can investigate why the dog is running loose.
