The thought of confining a dog to cage can seem harsh and unnecessary to some owners. Introduced correctly, a cage can be one of the most useful pieces of equipment you purchase.
One aspect of dog ownership that many owners worry about is chewing. However, this is a natural and necessary activity.
The essential requirement for a satisfactory, friendly, trusting relationship to be established with the children is that, the parents are totally involved in the dogs training, play and upbringing between the ages of 7 wks - 1 yr old.
Naturally, dogs are social creatures. This means that dogs who live in single pet households need to be taught how to cope with isolation.
Housetraining is all about the 3R’s: Routine, Relief and Reward. This can be a tricky time for both owners and pets, but with a little understanding it needn’t cause problems.
To be able to safely run your dog off lead, it is essential to teach him a good, reliable recall. Without a good recall your dog will be reduced to living his life on lead.
If you already have a cat and are interested in giving a home to one of our dogs, here is some information to help you.
