Not giving enough thought to food. | | |
Many owners are content to give their dogs what their dogs like best. But your dog's health depends on a complete diet with a proper mix of nutrients and fewer empty calories. In fact, even so-called "wholesome" diets often have gaping holes. And did you know that there's no reason at all to buy "senior" dog food and that it can actually be dangerous to an older dog? | | |

Being inconsistent in training. | | |
When it comes to training "sometimes" never works. To stop your dog from begging at the table, you can't give him the occasional scrap. To stop him from jumping on nervous Aunt Sally, you can't let him jump on eager Cousin Tim. "Oh, just this once" will derail your efforts every time. "Sometimes" just doesn't compute. Dogs do much better with "all or nothing." In fact, consistency, even if it's consistency your pet wouldn't choose for himself, makes him feel secure. YOUR DOG will keep training on track with rewarding results. You'll learn four steps that will end excessive barking. You'll find why "No" is a particularly fruitless word when it comes to training. You'll discover the tools and tricks to teach the four basic commands—"Sit," "Down," "Leave it," and "Come"—more quickly and effectively. Plus, you'll find… | | |

Neglecting important "hands-on" care.
| | |

You'll find how a bath gives you opportunity to detect a lump or growth (plus the two essential ingredients in a dog shampoo).
