Dog Health,Obedience And Training

Congratulation! you've  adopted your best friend,  given him a name and his  own bed and collar and  shown him off to friends and  family. Now comes the real  work. When you take on the  responsibility of owning a  dog it's a lot like having a  child. Unlike cats that can  fend for themselves and  rarely need or desire owner  affection your dog will rely on you for just about

everything. With the exception of old Bulldogs and Bloodhounds most dogs will watch your every move and try to be a part of everything you do. You should do likewise in monitoring your pet's health.

If you have an out door dog be sure your checks are regular, maybe every day, to prevent small problems from becoming major issues. Try not to be overprotective and denying your dog his fun in the sun but when he's near a careful petting can tell you if he's in pain or if any unwanted guests have burrowed in his coat.
