			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the best dog training courses on the market today are home training courses. They have gained popularity because they are often a lot less expensive than putting your dog through a professional dog training program, and they have proven to be just as effective.</p>
<p><span id="more-135"></span>An important aspect in home training your dog is by limiting training to about 15 minutes per day and training at the same time every day. Dogs like routine and their attention spans are like kids&#8217;. Shorter periods of learning are better than an overload of too much for too long.</p>
<p>Feed your dog training treats. When you give a command in a low toned voice, and he does what you command, give him the training treat and your affection. He&#8217;ll love you and the treat and he&#8217;ll want to continue doing what you&#8217;ve commanded in order to get the treats again.</p>
<p>As Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer, and other well known dog behavior specialists say &#8211; step into your house first after a walk. Be the pack leader. By stepping into your house first, you establish your dominance. Your dog will eventually learn to be a follower if you&#8217;re the leader, becoming more obedient to you.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a good way to begin dealing with your young dog who&#8217;s playfully aggressive &#8211; biting or snapping to get your attention. Stop it now so he doesn&#8217;t become more aggressive by using a voice command then giving him a treat when he stops. A common voice command is the word &#8220;off&#8221; when your dog begins to bite.</p>
<p>I used this on our young lab/basenji just the other day and it worked immediately. She&#8217;s a smart dog so sometimes it&#8217;s more challenging to train her. None the less, it worked.</p>
<p>Which last and foremost, brings me to the intelligence factor. The more intelligent, the harder to train. Some dog breeds with higher intelligence are the Papillon, Labrador, Doberman, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Border Collie, Poodle, Rottweiler and Shetland Sheepdog. Not necessarily in that order. I may have left out a few &#8211; but oh well, you get the idea.</p>
<p>Finally, if you&#8217;re purchasing a dog training course on the Internet, it pays to exercise smart consumerism. Be sure you purchase one with a money back guarantee. This way if you review the course and find that it hasn&#8217;t lived up to what it was hyped up to be, you can then ask for a refund. You want to make your purchase risk-free just in case you&#8217;re not satisfied with it. You can click here www.sitstayfetch.blogspot.com to get ideas about dog training course at home</p>
<p>In conclusion, finding dog training courses is s</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may want to first check out some great deals on dog clothes.</p>
<p>Are you a sports nut? If you are, I am willing to bet that your dog is too! There are many breeds that fall into a Sporting Class because they are great athletes and love to push their muscles to the limit.</p>
<p><span id="more-122"></span>Any dog can be very athletic however Sporting Class breeds excel and could be considered the &#8216;Olympians&#8217; of the Canine world. No matter what breed dog you have or even mixed breed, if you have a high energy dog and you are just as high energy yourself you will be happy to know that there actual Dog Sports activities!</p>
<p>1. It is a great way to exercise your dog and keep him in great shape</p>
<p>2. It provides an excellent opportunity for you and your dog to connect on a different level.</p>
<p>3. It is a great way to meet like-minded dog lovers.</p>
<p>Warning: We strongly encourage that you take your dog to the vet for a complete physical check-up before starting any kind of sport. This is to ensure that he is in healthy shape and not suffering from any type of physical condition that can hinder his performance or cause harm to the animal.</p>
<p>Two Factors To Consider When Picking A Sport</p>
<p>Your 4-legged teammate should be in optimum health and you do not want to take a chance on entering them in events that could harm them! So make sure they are checked out and given a physical exam by your trusted veterinarian and ask the vet what activities your dog can do without aggrevating a possible pre-exisisting condition, activities that their bodies are suited for, and what activities won&#8217;t put stress on them. The idea is to have fun and have a great time, and the only way to do that is to make sure everyone including your dog passes a health check!</p>
<p>However, if your dog is not currently engaged in any kind of activity, consider the following factors:</p>
<p>1. His breed. Your dog’s genetics play an important part of the type of activity that he may enjoy, as well as his ability to perform that specific activity. Understanding his history and heritage makes it easier for you to find a sport or activity that is most suited for his breed.</p>
<p>Learn more about your breed. Find out what type of job his ancestors did and what they were originally bred to do. For instance, most, if not all dog breeds from the spaniel or retriever family, will do great in water sports and retrieving, although it doesn’t mean that water sports and retrieving are the only two things that you should consider.</p>
<p>Another factor to consider is their personality! Yes your dog&#8217;s personality will play a big role in these games and activities. Dogs who have a one track mind when it  comes to running long distance or catching a disk in air are ideal for sports. However, any dog can be with a little patience and training who may seem slow at start or slow motivated to be a great sports dog!</p>
<p>You will most likely want to take a quick look at these great deals on chicken dog treats and rawhide dog treats.</p>
