			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s world, it would not be wrong to state that it is easier to buy a pet from the pet shop but it is very difficult for a person to care and nurture a pet to perfection. Whether you call it the shortage of time that we all have or the lack of proper information in pet care, it is a fact that many pets suffer from continuous ailments just because their keepers are not able to provide them with the care that they deserve. A common example of lack of care and love for pets can be felt by having a look at the increasing cases of depression and mental stress among dogs as well as cats.</p>
<p><img src="http://pampercutedogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dog5-300x225.jpg" alt="dog5" title="dog5" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-140" /></p>
<p>Do you also have a pet that is continuously falling ill and has started to behave strangely around you? Are you looking for a pet and want to have proper information about proper pet care training for your pet? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you are at the right place. Read on to know more about pet care training for masses.</p>
<p>Proper pet care training is something that applies to any pet, be it a dog, a horse, a cat or even a hamster, providing proper pet care to your pets is something that is required by every pet. If you are thinking that your pet cannot be trained, you are wrong. Almost any pet can be trained, and animal trainers have proved this fact. While dogs and cats are domesticated a long time back and it is no wonder to see a trained dog or a cat, trainers have successfully been able to train elephants, horses, and even birds like sparrows and parakeets.</p>
<p>Pet training should be a good experience for you as well as your pet. Remember that resorting to methods like hitting and shouting can be very disastrous for the relationship between your pet and yourself. This would not only make your pet feel scared of you, it will also lead to a feeling of loneliness among him. While giving pet training to your pet, you should try to follow the most humane way to impart your pet with pet training. Using food and encouraging your pet when your pet does a good job is the best way to provide a healthy pet training experience.</p>
<p>Training your pet by playing with him or using the inbuilt characteristics of your animals proves to be the best way to teach new skills to your pet. If you are not comfortable to provide pet training to your pet, using the services of a professional pet trainer is the best way to do so.</p>
<p>If you are thinking that pet training is a sign of dominance over your pet, you are wrong. It is a proven fact that pet training inculcates a bonding between a person and his pet and this works out for a happy relationship for years to come. Once you have made a special bond with your pet, your pet will never forget you and will leave no stone unturned to become the best companion you have ever had.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">There are of course many reasons for owners to want a calm, obedient and faithful dog.<span> </span>For one thing, obedient and trained dogs are happier dogs, less likely to get into tussles with people or with other dogs.<span> </span>Another reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their neighborhoods be well trained.<span> </span>This is especially true for many breeds thought to have aggression and behavior problems – dog breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers for instance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">And of course, training your dog well will also make he or she a much better family companion, especially in households where there are young children.<span> </span>Many studies have shown that proper dog training makes a big impact when it comes to cutting down the number of dog bits and other behavior problems encountered by dog owning households.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">When considering training your own dog, or having someone else help you train it, there are certain basic commands that must be mastered in order for a dog to be considered truly trained.<span> </span>These basic commands include:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span>Ø<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Heel – it is important that any dog learn to walk beside its owner on a loose lead, neither pulling ahead nor lagging behind</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dog training does much more than just create an obedient, willing companion.<span> </span>Training your dog properly actually strengthens the bond that already exists between dog and handler.<span> </span>Dogs are pack animals, and they look to their pack leader to tell them what to do.<span> </span>The key to successful dog training is to set yourself up as that pack leader.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Establishing yourself as pack leader is a very important concept for any potential dog trainer to understand.<span> </span>There is only one leader in every pack of dogs, and the owner must establish him or herself as the dominant animal.<span> </span>Failure to do so leads to all manner of behavior problems.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">A properly trained dog will respond properly to all the owner’s commands, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion.<span> </span>A good dog training program will focus on allowing the dog to learn just what is expected of it, and will use positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In addition to making the dog a good member of the community, obedience training is a great way to fulfill some of the dog’s own needs, including the need for exercise, the security that comes with knowing what is expected of it, a feeling of accomplishment and a good working relationship with its handler.<span> </span>Dog training gives the dog an important job to do, and an important goal to reach.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Giving the dog a job is more important than you may think.<span> </span>Dogs were originally bred by humans to do important work, such as herding sheep, guarding property and protecting people.<span> </span>Many dogs today have no important job to do, and this can often lead to boredom and neurotic behavior.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Basic obedience training, and ongoing training sessions, provide the dog with an important job to do.<span> </span>This is especially important for high energy breeds like German shepherds and border collies.<span> </span>Training sessions are a great way for these high energy dogs to use up their extra energy and simply to enjoy themselves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Incorporating playtime into your dog training sessions is a great way to prevent both yourself and your dog from becoming bored.<span> </span>Playing with your dog helps to strengthen the all important bond between you – the pack leader – and your dog.</span></p>
