Teaching You To Train Your Dog

Tips & Tidbits

Training your dog should be fun for both you and your dog.  The end results will be a dog you can take just about anywhere, a model "citizen", and a dog who is a pleasure to be around.  The Jackson Obedience Training Club provides the following Tips & Tidbits to help you in your endeavor of being a good and responsible pet owner.

1. Keep your dog's shots up-to-date in order to maintain a healthy pet.  Regular vet visits will keep you and your vet informed of any conditions your dog may develop between visits and could save your dog's life.
 
2.  Properly brushing your dog's teeth on a regular basis will prevent dental problems down the line.
 
3.  Spaying or neutering your dog provides a healthier life for your dog, can help with some behavioral problems, and make your dog a better pet overall.
 
4.  Heartworm prevention is a must in our mosquito infested area.  Heartworms can kill a dog, so visit your vet to learn more about protecting your dog from heartworms.
 
5.  When training your dog, remember dogs can be like children.  One method may work for some and not for others.  Keep this in mind if you run into a difficult training session with your dog.
 
6.  Finding a good, positive obedience instructor or club lends more to your dog training than just a place to train your dog.  These sources provide assistance when you run into problems, other people who enjoy their dogs and dog training, and an avenue to perhaps eventually compete with your dog.
