Dog care made simple

Here are THREE SIMPLE THINGS to create a healthy relationship with your dog this week:

I know that this must sound like a no brainer but taking your dog for a walk in the morning and evening for at least 30 min each time helps create discipline and a regular schedule for both you and your dog..(You need the exercise anyway) Simple behavior problems at times are due to that lack of regular training and attention. Don't fall into the trap of, "I just let my dog out in the backyard".

Pampering your dog a few times a week is another way to strengthen your relationship. Hey dont you like it when someone gives you alot of attention. After one of the walks and at least three times a week brush your dog. Try this: Play some music you like and use the same song each time. Depending on the breed and its coat will determine the type of brush or comb you would use but also get one of those hand held massage items to use as well...

TEETH CLEANING: Imagine how bad your breath would smell if you didn't brush your teeth daily?! This takes a little time to develop over time with your dog. A lot of people will clean their dog's teeth right after doing their own. Please make sure you do not use the same tooth brush! Again, you can do this three times a week, daily is best.

As always, after each "grooming" activity you do with your dog make sure you reward them with their favorite treats! Don't you like it when you get rewarded!
