Talk to them in a calm yet stern voice when they've done something wrong but never yell or scream at them.

Never leave your dog unattended outdoors. They're are many things that can harm your dog, or even have someone steal them! - IceyBlueSibes

gaddylovesdogs · 11-03-2004, 04:24 PM

Create a special place that is strictly for your dog and only for your dog, such as a crate with some old pillows and blankets inside, or a doghouse with some padding inside. -gaddylovesdogs (Gaddy)

IceyBlueSibes · 11-03-2004, 05:05 PM

Never let your dogs eat kitty poo! Not only is it disgusting but can cause serious problems if there is a certain bacteria present! - IceyBlueSibes

gaddylovesdogs · 11-03-2004, 07:07 PM

Your dog should visit the vet at least twice a year for a check-up, though 3 to four is even better. -gaddylovesdogs

PitBullie09 · 11-03-2004, 07:22 PM

Provide with lots of toys, and atleast 30 minutes of playtime each day! Fun-Fun-Fun*

His masters voice · 11-04-2004, 01:50 AM

Groom your dog regularly and check for parasites.

IceyBlueSibes · 11-04-2004, 09:58 AM

Use a monthly flea/tick/mosquito med to rid your dog of any parasites that may be harmful or carry worms/heartworms! - IceyBlueSibes

gaddylovesdogs · 11-04-2004, 09:59 AM

Introduce newcomers in neutral territory -gaddylovesdogs

milo · 11-04-2004, 10:00 AM

Have a one to one with your dog/s for 10/15 mins a day!!

IceyBlueSibes · 11-04-2004, 12:18 PM

Be sure to feed your dog a good quality dog food and never anything that may be unhealthy for them, or causes them to be sick! - IceyBlueSibes

gaddylovesdogs · 11-04-2004, 03:18 PM

If you plan on getting a purebred, make sure you research the breed you are thinking of getting. Example: Border Collies may amaze you, but if you don't have the time to properly exercise them each day, the dog will most likely become destructive, and you may come home to a chewed-on house. -gaddylovesdogs

IceyBlueSibes · 11-05-2004, 11:36 AM

Don't over-bathe your dogs! Too much bathing can cause their skin to become irritated! A good wipe down with a wet towel will help, and only bath twice a year IF possible! - IceyBlueSibes

milo · 11-05-2004, 11:44 AM

Always pay attention to your dog dont live them to there own dependence!!
