			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1904 a Russian scientist, Ivan Pavlov made a collection of experiments that became part of folklore.  I am making reference to his famous &#8220;Pavlov&#8217;s Dog&#8221; project.  In simple terms Pavlov applied impulse (bells, electric shocks, sounded tuning forks etc) when his dogs were eating.  Over time he revealed that the stimulus alone (e.g.  The sound of the tuning fork) was adequate to cause the dogs to slobber.  The spit production had become a conditioned, reflex reply to the impulse</p>
<p>So what does that have to do with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.housetraining-dogs.com/category/house-training-dogs">house training dogs</a>?  Well, everything actually!  Your goal is to create a conditioned, reflex response i.e.  When your dog feels the need to get rid of it should immediately feel the insistent desire to go outside to its toilet area.</p>
<p>The easiest way to create the reply</p>
<p>House training dogs is a method that involves some trial-error (some things will work and some will not) and lots of patience.  The better news is that you have total control over the most important part &#8220;you!   That is right!  You!  Your dog wants to delight you and will do anything to make you happy so your actions will set the tone for the entire training.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the basic recipe:</p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">Figure out when your dog is probably going to have to go.  The most likely times are shortly after waking or after a meal.  Watch punctiliously for the &#8220;signs&#8221; (they&#039;re different for each dog, but your pet&#8217;s should become obvious fairly quickly)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Fast and fastidiously pick your dog up and take it outside to the appointed &#8220;toilet area&#8221;</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Wait till the dog has eliminated.  When he&#039;s finished ensure that you spend some time praising him and making physical contact.  This is the main reason, use a happy, animated voice, your dog doesn&#039;t speak English but he will understand your tone.  If he believes that you are happy he will start to form the organisation between you being cheerful and his toilet visit.  Repeat this a number of times and he&#039;s going to understand that his elimination outside makes you happy and you are just about done. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Never, ever, ever get indignant with your dog if he has got an accident.  The organisation process works all ways, if he suspects you&#039;re irritated with him as he went to the bathroom he may try and prevent him self from going and cause all sorts of medical issues.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dogobediencehelp.com/crate-training-your-dog-why-is-it-important.php">Crate training</a> is hailed by some as an amazing blessing. But others view is as cruel and inhumane, disputing its use as a training tool. It cannot be denied that there have been instances where crate training was done improperly and caused harm, but when done correctly it is an excellent training tool that provides your dog with his own safe environment.</p>
<p> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dogobediencehelp.com/secrets-to-dog-training-review.php">Crate training, when done correctly</a>, is not only  humane, but can even be enjoyable for your dog. Crate training was never meant for caging or confining your dog just because it&#8217;s bothering you at the moment and you just don&#8217;t want it around. Crates are also not meant to be used hours on end, locking your puppy or dog away and only letting it out when you feel like giving it attention. Care should be taken not to use the crate excessively, but only when you are truly unable to watch what your dog is getting into.</p>
<p> With proper use, there are many benefits to crate training. Dogs will not urinate or defecate in a confined area, so using a crate is an extremely effective way of potty training your puppy. Utilizing the crate will also prevent your dog from getting in trouble when you are away, either by destroying things that will leave their families unhappy or getting into things that could harm or even kill them. A crate can also become a familiar, safe, even comforting place for your dog to be.</p>
<p> Descendants of wolves, dogs are naturally &#8220;den&#8221; animals. The den, or crate, will make your dog feel more confident and comfortable. Proper use of the crate creates that &#8220;den&#8221; for them and they will actually be happy to go to it when sent there. It also creates a place your dog knows he can go to for safety when he is uncomfortable of scared. Properly done, crate training will teach your dog that the crate is also his safe zone and when frightened or upset, your dog will go to it for comfort.</p>
<p> Another bonus is that it teaches your dog boundaries and encourages good behavior. You should never use a crate to &#8220;punish&#8221; your dog for bad behavior, but you can show a dog what its boundaries are, to promote good behavior. Crating your dog when you are not home teaches them where they belong anytime you leave the house. They will become so comfortable with the crate and the known expectation, that they may even go to it on their own when you are away, and stay in it on their own even if the door is not locked.</p>
<p> Despite all the evidence to the crate&#8217;s positive results, the dog-owning community remains greatly divided about its use as a proper training tool. Your guiding points should be: 1) purchase the best quality crate possible, 2) it should be neither too large nor too small, and 3) never overuse the crate inappropriately. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dogobediencehelp.com/secrets-to-dog-training-review.php">Proper crate training</a> will help you to rear a well-trained, happy dog that you and the entire family will be love and cherish.</p>
