How To Introduce A Dog Successfully Into Your Family

By Garrett McMahan


You can be somewhat overwhelmed with having the responsibility of owning a dog, especially if you are new to pet ownership and also having a new dog for your home. There are some tips that can make your life much easier even if you have a new dog and friend coming to your life, and even if the first few weeks can be somewhat difficult.

Before you bring the dog home, there are several important tasks to consider. The first is to look around your yard carefully and determine if there are any safety hazards. Can the dog escape from the yard easily? If so, then you need to make the yard as secure as possible.

You will need basic things for your dog like food and water dishes, and also dog food that is available. You will also need a collar and leash, and these are things very important and have to be on hand right away. You will also need a tag with your phone number engraved, and this will come in handy when your dog is able to get loose.

One simple way to house break your dog and also provide the safe place for your dog to stay can be crate training, and this is also one way that many people like. It can be a good idea if you have a crate before bringing this dog home so that your training can be done immediately, and this is if you want to crate train this dog.

In general, dog training is one of the best ways to make life with your dog easier and maximize your family's enjoyment of your pet. A well-behaved dog is one that obeys your commands, walks loosely on a leash, doesn't bark excessively or display other unpleasant behavior. It definitely takes a few weeks to train a dog how to behave properly and follow the rules of your home, but it is well worth the time. A well-trained dog is not only a pleasure to have as a companion; this dog also will be much safer in general.

One way to make this dog training very much easier is to have a dog training DVD program. This can make the dog training much easier at home and at your own schedule. One such program is The Dog's Way, a dog obedience training system that can make teaching your dog how to behave much easier. This is a dog training program that includes 12 simple lessons on five DVDs, a workbook reviewing each lesson and some reminder cards to tote along with you as you are out and about on walks and playing at the park. Within a few weeks of training, your dog will already be able to follow your commands and this is also the time that your bonding with your dog will improve.
