Bringing home a new puppy or dog can be one of the most joyful days for any pet owner.

Making sure that the new member of the family is taken care of is the most important step to having a good experience with the dog. Dog Training and Care should be kept simple.

Training is something that needs to be worked on with the dog every day. Simple commands should be taught early and practiced often. Caring for a new dog can also be fairly simple. Getting the right shots, the proper food and keeping the dog clean are all essential items to giving your pet a high quality of life.

Some of the most simple commands such as sit, down, stay, come, heel and a few others are really all a dog needs to be happy.

These basic commands are also as far as most owners need to go with their dogs. Dog Training and Care can get more advanced, but it doesn't need to.

Training sessions should be kept short, somewhere around 10 to 15 minutes.

Using treats to reinforce the basic commands can be a good way to get your new dog to respond. When giving a command, it should be given in a loud, firm voice. Your dog's name should also precede the command.

An example would be, "Moki, come." The first few sessions should be done with your dog on an extended leash. A quick correction using the leash will help your dog learn the basics.

One of the more advanced things that should be taught to your dog is how to heel. When you want your dog to heel, the idea is that he will walk at your side and continue to walk at your side for the duration of your walk. This is one of the more important aspects of Dog Training and Care.

Dogs naturally are distracted by other dogs, people or animals that might be around. Using treats can help with this training as well as a firm command just like the one mentioned earlier.

When walking a dog and teaching them to heel, it is important to use a shorter leash so they do not have as much freedom. Whenever your dog goes out farther than you want, he needs to be given a gentle correction.

Giving your dog a bath, brushing his teeth, cleaning his ears and feeding him are just a few of the things that need to be done when it comes to Dog Training and Care. Doing these basic things will maintain your dog's health.
