The Amazing Curiosity of Puppies!






In training my newest member of my pack, Sir Jax; I am just amazed at the curiosity of our fur babies! Everything is so new and exciting to him. It's important to see the world through his eyes! So innocent, bold, unafraid and just CURIOUS about EVERYTHING!

The MOST important command you MUST teach your puppy is "Leave it". Make sure that when teaching this command, or any command, to be gentle with your puppy. They are young and want to please you. It is your  job to teach them how.

My first lesson in training was to drop a treat on the floor and tell my Pup to "Leave it". When they obey your command, then and only then, will you give them a DIFFERENT treat! Move up to placing more and more treats on the floor.

Here is a personal photo of my Beagle Sambina and myself learning this technique! Look at my Binas FACE!! HA!




I have finally have learned the importance of Puppy Proofing my house! Just as if you are Toddler Proofing, the same rules apply. My house is puppy proofed. Is yours?

Research suggests that the best way to keep your fur babies out of trouble is to keep their space limited. We recommend Dog Gates and Dog Kennels .

Now, let's move into the yard, your puppies domain. Always check your perimeter for any holes in fencing. Pups are experts at escaping! If you do not have a fenced yard; you can find awesome deals on Wireless Fences and GPS Collars for Dogs!




You will find the best way to keep your pup out of trouble and curve their curiosity is to wear them out! Running and playing is definitely the funnest way to keep my Sir Jax out of trouble!

A tired Puppy is NOT a curious puppy!

Before you begin to train a pup we here at BestDealsforPets.com think it's important to understand how your dog thinks, and why he does what he does! Here are some basic things we have learned. Three consequences of behavior Every time your dog does anything at all the outcome can be placed in one of three categories Things get better for him Things get worse for him Nothing changes Dogs repeat actions that are rewarded If the immediate consequence was a pleasant one,  that is sufficient to ‘reinforce’ the dog’s behavior so that it will be more likely to occur again in the future. Sambina the beagle has learned to bark for her dinner in just the same way.  She barks while dinner is being prepared, and immediately after barking, her dinner is placed on the floor for her. Rewards can build bad habits as well as good ones You can see how bad habits can easily be formed with this kind of reinforcement, even though it is not in any way deli...

3 tips for dealing with Pet Separation Anxiety

One of the hardest things about having a furry best friend is when you have to leave them alone. Especially in a one dog family.

A tired Dog will just nap and patiently wait for your return. A Dog that is not properly exercised will be anxious, nervous, will bark all day, and be very unmanageable.
