A Happy Pet,, And Family Starts Here

Did you know that one of the reasons for turmoil and general unhappiness in our home can be caused by our pet dog. That's right, little Fido can reek havoc on our families life,and general well being, if hes not taught some very simple rules, while hes still a puppy.
It is much easier to teach your little guy, your household rules when hes still little. Not because of that old saying, "you cant teach old dogs new tricks". But because, as he reaches the ages of 5, 6, 7, months of age, now he is a much larger size. The significance of this increased size is that we might start becoming nervous around him. Yeah I now it might sound hard to believe, but I have seen this exact same thing thousands of times.
All of those puppy things your little guy was doing when he was 2, 3, 4 months of age, and you thought was absolutely adorable, does not seem so adorable now that he weighs 60 or 70 pounds. Now it just pisses us off.
So the first piece of advice I am going to give you on how to have a happy and relaxed dog is, make him part of your family. Everybody spends tons of time with the NEW puppy they get. The problems start surfacing, as the puppy gets a little older and we begin getting a little tired of our new toy.
So, whats the most important thing we can do, that will give us a great start to having a dog that's a joy to be around ? That's right! Just spend time with him.
