Once you have decided on the breed you are ready to take the next step which is to become acquainted with the techniques of training.

Introduce retrieving by doing fun marks using puppy size canvas dummies. Get on the ground, holding your pup up so he can easily see the mark. Let him go while the mark is still in the air.

Have you ever considered buying your pet a great dog crate but werent sure what to put into it or didnt know what size you should get? Well this is for you.
Dog crates are very handy if you need to keep your pet in one place while you are at work or have gone out. They are useful if you dont want your pet wandering around or if you have dog allergies and want to minimize your exposure. But to make a truely good dog crate for your pal to sleep in you need to add the right amount of care and love into it. What this means is for you to add your own personal touch to it and to add little bits of comfort so that your pet will actually want to go in there.
The best way to add comfort is to add something soft and comfortable to the crate for your pet to sleep on. Most dogs usually sleep through the day and being in a crate with no support or comfort is very bad for their bones and joints.
When getting a crate make sure you measure the size of your pet first. You can do this buy measuring from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail and from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. This will give you an accurate measurement to use when out buying your crate. Also if you are planning on putting a mattress or some sort of bedding in the crate which I highly and very strongly suggest then you should add another 12 inches to your measurements to make sure there is enough room for your mattress and your pet.
When you go out and buy your bedding you should also consider how much your dog weighs. If you have a small dog just like I do then the mattress doesnt need to be too thick because the weight of his body doesnt put too much pressure on the mattress itself. On the other hand if you have a dog that is big and has a lot of weight to him then you need a mattress that will be able to support him without giving way to his weight. You want your pet to be comfortable when you put him inside the crate and the best way to insure this is to make him as comfortable as possible.
A dog crate is a great way to train your pet as well as keep your home in tact while you are away. Adding comfort and space to the crate will go a long way in having your pet actually want to be in there.
