answered a question What is your technique for getting a dog to walk better on a leash?

My puppy has a choker collar on when we walk him. If he doesn't listen, we tug the collar upwards, and then he begins to follow through with how he is supposed to act.

Very effective. I also do drills with him when we walk. I'll start by walking normal, i then pick up the speed, i'll start jogging then i come to a real quick stop and i'll tell him to stop with me, and eventually he understands. It just has to be repetitive. the more, the better.

answered a question How do you get a dog to calm down around people?

The penny can!!! simply genius!! I am currently using that with my puppy and it works like a charm. Put a few pennies in an empty can, and rattle the can once the dog starts to misbehave.

This is very effective!

asked a question Tips on housetraining a puppy?

I have a brand new GSD Puppy, he already knows how to pee/poo on the puppy pads, but when he goes outside he doesn't do anything, he waits to come back inside to use the potty.

Any advice or tips I can use to get him off the potty pads and to go outside?

answered a question Can we read the reviews clients have left?

The reviews you can view from the client.

answered a question Why does my dog rub her face on things?

She probably has something in her eyes/face or she might have fleas. Possibly marking herself.

commented question How do I get my puppy to stop eating my clothes?

You can purchase (pretty cheap) at the pet store they have sprays that you can put onto your clothes that dogs don't like the scent of. It works well!

answered a question How to get rid of fleas?

Just had an issue with a Rover pet we were sitting, an egg must have hatched on her, and she was just coated in fleas we had to take her to the vet. Vinegar works wonders!! Warm water, and vinegar!!

answered a question Why does my dog like to carry my slipper around?

It could be the scent on the slipper, it just makes her feel comfortable! It's great that she only likes the slipper and nothing else! Lol. My puppy is starting to do that as well, I believe he is just using it as the scent of me, when I leave the house for comfort.
