If you have recently gotten a dog or are thinking about getting a dog, I have some quiet and easy tips for 1st time dog owners. First thing you need to do is to train the dog to do things you want it to do by giving them a treat if they listen to you. You can train a dog to sit, stay, down, rollover and many more commands. One of the biggest struggles for dog owners is potty training. You should take you dog out every couple of hours to make sure they can go potty. If you are going to leave you dog for a long time leave them potty pads. Different breeds will train fast than others. I have 2 dogs a dog and puppy they are the best pets ever. MY puppy is a cocker spaniel, and my dog is a poodle terrier, and they are special to me. My dog and puppy are breeds that are both very cute and smart. They pick up on training very quickly. Please remember to be patient with you puppy and give them lots of treats for doing all their tricks.
