With Great Dogs Comes Great Responsibility

Dogs make for wonderful pets. In most cases dogs quickly become more than just pets and we start to see them as true companions and members of our families. There are a lot of records in history that indicate how and when dogs were domesticated but the truth is that for thousands of years these animals have been our faithful friends. There is a reason that dogs are referred to as man’s best friend. They are great companions simply because they will love you unconditionally.

A dog will not care about your appearance, social stature or economic background if you give your pet love and affection you will get the same in return.

When you get a dog home you are taking up a responsibility. It is like bringing home a child. You will have certain responsibilities that you will have to take care of. It is important that you take the welfare of your dog seriously. If you bring home a puppy then you are in charge of raising it. The dog that the puppy grows into will be a result of your upbringing.

When a puppy is less than three to four months old he or she is unable to control their bowel movements.  At this age like the young of any other species puppies also rely heavily on their mothers and fathers to take care of them. So when they make a mess it usually the mother who cleans it up. This is why it is recommended that if you are bringing home a puppy you get one that is at least three to four months old. They will have some control over their bowels and you will find it easier to potty train them.
Potty training is very important.

If your dog does not pick this up then you will be stuck with a dog that will leave you presents where you least expect them. If you bring home a fully grown dog then you need to be prepared accordingly. A full grown dog will already have developed behavioral patterns. Such dogs are set in their ways and it is more difficult to train them. It is difficult but not impossible. There are various dog training methods that you can try till you find one that is effective. Devices like dog training collars have been known to show results. It you have a badly behaved full grown dog then you should look into getting a bark collar or a dog training collar.
