Plus, Positive Reinforcement Dog Training
How to Teach Your Dog Their Name | | | New puppies, as well as adult dogs who are new to your home, require lots of training before they become valued members of your household. And training requires attention. How do you get someone's attention? You call their name. Your puppy or new adult dog doesn't enter your home knowing their new name. Your dog needs to learn that when you say their name, it means they should pay attention to you. And the best way to do this is to teach them to associate their name with something positive. | | | | | How to Take Your Dog's Temperature | You may have noticed how warm your dog feels when you're cuddling with them. It's not just your imagination: a dog's normal body temperature is higher than ours. Knowing how to take a dog's temperature can tell you a lot about their health. As a dog owner, it's important to know what equipment to use, where on the body to get an accurate temperature, and when a temperature indicates your dog needs veterinary attention. | | | | | How to Get Your Dog Used to the Vacuum Cleaner | Is your dog scared of vacuums? Maybe it's a familiar routine: whenever you turn your vacuum on to clean your home, your dog goes scurrying away. They might even hide under the table for protection from this loud and frightening device. | | | Spring Weather Essentials For Dogs | As you and your dog are increasing your activity, be sure to plan with all the essentials you'll need to keep your dog comfortable and safe while you're away from home walking, hiking, or playing outside. | | Catch AKC K9 Detection Dogs on ESPN2! | These brave dogs and their handlers share stories from Mall of America, Tampa International Airport, University of South Florida, Minneapolis Police Department, Correctional Facilities, and the US Coast Guard.

The reward could be a toy, a game, or a treat – whatever your dog wants to work for. To some people that sounds like a bribe, not training, and they want their dog to obey just because they should. But positive reinforcement training is neither a bribe nor a gimmick. It's based on the science of animal learning, and it's incredibly effective. | | | *Offer valid on online purchases only via links in this promotion. Offer expires 03/31/24 at 11:59 PM ET.
