We are planning on adopting a new female dog to add to our family. We currently have fixed male dog who we know doesnt get along with male dogs (that normal?) so we are planning on getting a female and tomorrow we plan to have the two meet to see if they get along. The problem is i know my current dog humps, and im almost certain that he will hump her. If he does, should we not get the new dog? Is there a way to stop that?

training. It is one of those areas that there are a lot of sideline professionals. What I would like to outline for you here are some of the basics behind training you dog for a few of the more common problems that you could face 1)Biting If there is one area that you should concentrate on the most I would recommend you deter your dog from biting. If you think about it for a minute your dog’s mouth is his primary medium for interacting with the world. Therefore he will want to use it as a means to get your attention. Weather your dog is engaging in play or not, it is a good idea to persuade them to use another medium like pulling on a rope or getting their ball as a way for them to get what they want. The problem with him using his mouth for play (especially at a young age) is that you are inadvertently telling your dog that it is an acceptable behavior. As a puppy this may not be a big deal, but as an adult they may misconstrue this lesson and think it is not only acceptable for play but also for fear and/or territorial issues. There is one more point that I would like to make that will make a huge difference in not only the dog you buy but also the training methodology you use. Biting can come from multiple sources. They are play, fear, aggression, and learned behavior. The point I am trying to make is that you need to research the dog you wish to buy to know the level of training you will need to do. Some suggestions I have for biting would be to give a small pinch at the scruff of the dog’s neck each time he gives a small nibble on your person. I am not talking about pinching until the dog yelps but enough that you get his/her attention at the moment your dog bites. This will simulate the interaction your dog would have had in the wild with its mother. She would give him a nip to let him know the behavior that he/ she was doing was not appropriate. Also the pinch should be accompanied by a firm “NO” in an authoritative voice. I do not suggest the dog understands the word “NO” the way you do but it is a tool for you to use (with consistency) that will help them understand what it is that you want or don’t want them to do. 2)House breaking House breaking is another area wrought with misconception. Some misconceptions are as follows, 1 Rubbing their nose in it 2 Smacking you dog 3 Yelling at your dog The methods I just mentioned may eventually get your dog to use the appropriate place to go to the bathroom but they will go there more out of fear of you than wanting to do the right thing for you. Lets not forget that everything your dog does he does to make you happy, all you have to do is show them how. When house training your dog you should try to spend as much time as you can at home with your dog. It will help you in providing consistent guidance to your dog. The first thing to do is make sure your new puppy does not have worms. Worms will lead to diarrhea and will make the task of house training all that much harder. With a consistent diet and meal times your puppy will get to know the schedule and slowly adopt his own schedule for needing the bathroom. Nighttime accidents could be limited by keeping your puppy’s bedroom close to yours so you can hear when he needs out. While you are out you should keep your puppy in one or two rooms that don’t have carpet. Spread layers of newspaper over the entire floor. Once you get home you should pick the paper up and only return it once you are ready to go out again. In the meantime, continue to train him outdoors. If you gradually reduce the amount of paper you lay down over time you will be down to just a small area. Once he is old enough to “hold it” while you are gone, try permitting him in a larger area of your home. Use patience in this training because negative reinforcement when he/she has an accident will only stifle your puppy’s development. The only scolding you should use would be the aforementioned “NO”. 3)Barking Barking is a topic that is a little more difficult to deal with do to the fact that this is one of just a few ways for a dog to verbally communicate. Some times dogs will bark at strangers and some dogs will bark at any car that drives by your home. The simplest explanation I can give for this is that your home is the den. When something or someone approaches the dog lets out his early warning system (i.e. barking) to let you know that there is an intruder inside your territory. This is the same reason dogs mark their territory when they are outside. It is their way of letting approaching animals know that they are coming into a territory that has been claimed by your family. Stopping a dog from barking is not as hard as it sounds. With the command I taught you earlier “NO”, and consistency in your use of the word will help let him know that his behavior is not appropriate. A couple things to remember is that… 1) only use the word “NO” to let them know they are doing wrong. That goes for anything you are trying to teach them. They do not understand complex sentences or even simple ones so to tell them to get off the couch or stop barking will only lead them to confusion. 2) Dogs are dogs, they will never stop barking altogether but with patience and consistency on your part you should be able to limit the amount this happens. Too sum this up, weather you do trick training, basic obedience, or behavior modification with your dog just remember that it takes care, patience and consistency on your part to make this happen. Your dog wants to learn to make you happy, they just need to be shown how.

People are in search for a place where they can find many special animal products, a store that spares them from wasting time searching the whole city for a perfect dog collar or dog toy.
Nowadays, there are specially designed dog stores to fulfill all your little companion’s desires. Dog products are found in a large number in these stores and of course, in various models. The dog stores have hundreds of dog toys, collars, treats and bones, hundreds of dog beds and many other dog products. The owners of a dog store are looking to bring their customers the best and most modern dog products, in order to satisfy even the most pretentious client.
When a dog comes into a family he will need a place of his own where to rest and sleep. A dog bed is the best solution for this. Dogs need a bed that matches their size because if the bed is too small it will be quite uncomfortable for the dog to sleep in it.
In large dog stores you can find dog beds that have different sizes, are different shaped and are made out of different materials. This dog products are so many that is impossible not to find one suitable bed for your dog. Some of the beds are designed to give the possibility of the dog owner to carry its pet from place to place without disturbing its sleep.
If you decide to keep your dog outside the house, you should consider buying your pet a dog house. This dog products come in different shapes, and sizes, some are large some are small, some even have a porch. Of course, inside the dog house a blanket will be placed.
When eating if the dog bowl is not adjusted to the size of the dog, problems can appear. The dog will not be able to eat or drink properly, and will make a mess after eating is done. These specially designed dog stores bring on the newest dog bowls and allow you to select from hundreds of models. They even have elevated bowls which makes the cleaning up process after eating is done quite easy. Also, they have automatic dog feeders which are of help if you leave home for the whole day and no one is available to feed your dog.
Dog food is also found in a dog store, in different shapes, sizes and forms. Picking up the right food means: choosing the right food for the right age group: puppies, adult dogs or senior pets. Within the age group pick the right dog weight category; try different types of food for your dog to get a feel for what he likes and dislikes and offer your dog variety because no one likes eating the same things every day.
When choosing a treat for your pet the size is an important factor. The dog treat should not be too small to avoid the dog from swallowing it in one piece and possibly chocking on it. The dog products (bones and treats) found at the dog stores are specially designed to prevent dog chocking and other possible injuries.
Dog stores also come with a variety of dog cages, cages accessories, dog gates, dog crates, dog auto barriers and dog strollers.
Neither clothing misses from a dog store which considers itself well prepared for the clients: T-shirts, outdoor gears, costumes, boots, sweaters and jackets are available in different sizes, models and colors for your special dog.
Other dog products are health care products: vitamins, sprays for breath, dental floss, medications, and other special puppy products.
Also, travel kits for your dog are available. All you need for your dog when traveling with him/her is contained in the special travel kits.
If you are a dog lover you can buy yourself or you dog jewelry: silver dog bone charms, sterling silver dog in bed charm or silver charms bracelets.
These new large dog stores seem to have a tremendous selection of dog supplies, which should spare the dog owners from wasting time going to other neighborhood dog stores when they can achieve all they want from this dog store.

Carrie Wagner asked:
If you are considering using a bark collar as a solution to your dog barking problem, then it is important to first understand why dogs bark. Barking is normal behavior and is part of the natural communication of dogs. Simply put, it is as natural for dogs to bark as it is for us humans to speak. If dogs did not bark they would have no other way of communicating with other dogs or with humans. However, dog barking is a problem when it becomes excessive. Excessive barking is an annoying behavior to a dog owner’s family, friends and neighbors. Approximately 35% of dog owners complain that excessive dog barking is their most common behavioral problem in their dog.
There is almost always a reason for a dog to bark and some breeds of dogs have a higher need to bark than others. Breeds of dogs that have a tendency to bark more are Beagles, Terriers, and some herding breeds, such as the Collie or Shetland sheepdog. Certain breeds have actually been bred to bark as part of their watchdog or herding duties. You can find an excessive barker in a purebred dog as well as a mixed breed.
Ten Reasons Why Dogs Bark:
1. Lack of Exercise- Your dog may need longer exercise periods and more play time
2. Boredom, Frustration, Loneliness- Dogs often bark because they need a more stimulating environment to release excess energy and sometimes bark because they are lonely.
3. Separation Anxiety
4. Improper Confinement- Some dogs will bark when they are confined in a room or crate for long periods of time.
5. Play or Excitement- Many dogs will bark when playing with people or other dogs. This type of barking is more common in younger dogs and puppies. Some dogs will even bark when they know they are going for a walk or a car ride.
6. Territorial Protection- This type of barking occurs when strangers or other dogs come near your property.
7. Attention Seeking- Dogs will bark for a need to be met such as food or water, to be let in or out, or in response to pain.
8. A Returning Family Member
9. Trained to Bark- Some dogs are trained to bark for performing certain duties. Hunting dogs, guard dogs, and herding dogs are examples of dogs that are trained to bark while doing their jobs.
10. Environmental Reasons- Your dog may bark at unfamiliar sounds or sudden movements, when a phone rings, when other dogs bark, at passing cars or strangers, road noise, or in response to fear.
If you want to help your dog learn that excessive barking is not acceptable behavior, an electronic bark collar can help. A dog will learn quickly that his barking will result in correction and will soon learn to stop the behavior. A bark collar gives your dog immediate correction that is a distraction to barking. When your dog barks the collar will give a mild static correction, similar to you what you get when you rub your feet on the carpet and then touch something. The correction will become slightly more intense if your dog continues barking. It is important to remember that when you use a dog bark collar, in addition to stopping the excessive barking, you also need to reward the dog for his good behavior. A dog bark collar can help you be successful in controlling unnecessary and annoying barking in your pet.
In order to control excessive barking in our dogs and change their behavior, we first need to understand the reason behind the barking. You can eventually learn your dog’s different barks if you pay close attention to him. If you can figure out why your dog is barking, then you can come up with a solution to the problem. Although barking is a normal and part of the natural communication of dogs, it is possible to control this behavioral problem in your pet.
