Dog Training Rewards - Your Dog Will Be Putty In Your Hands
The oldest trick in the book when it comes to dog training is using treats and rewards to encourage the right behaviour and responses. However not all treats were created equal, and each dog will have its own favourites. Try and work out what your dog likes the best, and your training will become much easier.
Rewards don’t just have to be food treats though, other types can be very effective. All dogs love human attention, so physical contact and praise can be useful tools when used sparingly. Like anything, if you overdo it the meaning of the rewards will be lost very quickly, but a quick belly rub is a wonderful incentive for a dog (provided it is not too distracting).

Taking Care Of Your Dogs Teeth
Good care for your dog’s teeth can be a very important part of keeping your dog healthy and alive. Although it may not seem important, dogs can often have the same dental problems that people do. When plaque is left on the dog’s teeth, it can cause gum disease and even loss of teeth. When dogs are born, they have no teeth but grow their teeth in. These teeth usually come in around the first two or three weeks.
