  5. When your dog is well behaved and happy, you'll have a great relationship. When your dog isn't happy, you'll find your pillows torn into bits of fluff. You're not the only owner who wants to learn how to deal with their dog, so we've collected a bunch of advice from other owners who have been through it all before.
  6.  
  7. Go on and hug your dog, but do not kiss him. Kisses from dogs are adorable, but they're a lot less cute when you realize how filthy your dog's mouth actually is. Dogs really get into everything, from toilet water to the neighbor's trash. Many people believe that the human mouth has more germs than that of a dog - this isn't true. It is not necessarily true.
  8.  
  9. Hot summer days are harder for dogs to handle than humans. Always make sure your pet has enough water to drink. Provide them with a shaded area to rest if they are going to be outside for any length of time. And, if your dog begins acting in an unusual manner, call the veterinarian. Heatstroke could be fatal, so it is important to get medical care as soon as possible.

You do not want to attempt grooming when your pet is in a particularly frisky mood, because the process will not go well. Instead, do so only when your dog is calm and tired, like after you have taken him for an especially long walk.
  12.  
  13. Don't assume your toy-sized dog's bite isn't dangerous, just because he's little. A lot of owners brush-off training, thinking that the smaller breed dog can get away with a little bad behavior and this isn't true. As a responsible canine master, you've got to make certain your dog does not pose a threat to anyone by having him well trained.
  14.  
  15. Don't give your dog real bones. Real bones can chip and fragments may become lodged in their mouths or digestive tract. Rawhide is healthy for their teeth and gums, so don't share your bones, even if the dog wants it!
  16.  
  17. Schedule a veterinary checkup for your new dog. Immediately after bringing home the new dog, schedule a checkup with your veterinarian. The veterinarian will do a full checkup and set a schedule for his vaccinations. In addition, consult your vet about spaying or neutering your dog. The shelters are already overcrowded, so you do not want to make that problem worse.
  18.  
  19. You won't just stop your dog from shedding on your carpet if you brush him on a daily basis. It'll also give them a very beautiful and shiny coat. When you brush the coat, oils from the skin are distributed throughout, and this is makes the coat soft and silky.
  20.  
  21. If you're trying to break one of your dog's unwanted habits, make sure that you understand that it will not happen overnight. Breaking a habit takes time and patience. Don't get discouraged and give up if it seems like your pup isn't making progress. Keep at it and maybe try changing your approach to the training. Sometimes this can be the boost that your dog needs.
  22.  
  23. Check you dog for parasites and take preventative measure. Flea and tick collars are important. Keep in mind certain collar work better in different seasons and geographic areas. In addition, check your dog's ears. Ear mites are common. Also, check the dog's stool to ensure he hasn't picked up worms in his digestive system.
  24.  
  25. Keep your annual appointments for check-ups with your dog. A good vet will be able to easily spot problems with your dog way before you actually see something. This can save you money if you catch a serious illness before it becomes worse. It may also save the life of your dog.
  26.  
  27.  
  28. Pay attention to your dog's breath. Dogs will always have "dog breath,"u009d however, really bad breath is a sign that they need a dental check up. Plaque buildup caused by bacteria could be the culprit and that will need to be treated by a professional. After their treatments, you will need to brush their gums and teeth and feed them food that helps maintain good dental health.
  29.  
  30. Attention exercises must be practiced daily. These exercises will help you gain your dog's attention when they are barking or being disruptive or destructive. Once you can gain your dog's attention, you will have less to worry about when you have him out of the house or when there is company over.
  31.  
  32. Make sure that you're feeding your dog a good quality food. Most dog foods available at your grocery store are mainly made up of grains or corn. Instead of this, you should try to find a dog food that is mostly made of meat. Foods that are high quality can provide you with many benefits, such as having a healthy pup, less vet visits, and your dog's coat will shine more.
  33.  
  34. Walk your dog as often as you can to give it exercise. Your pet requires both exercise and the companionship that walking it provides. Those things are crucial to your dog's development.
  35.  
  36. When you make the decision to get a dog, it is important that you have the proper type of fence in your yard. Of course, the size of the fence you need depends on the kind of dog you will be getting. The bigger the breed, the higher the fence should be.
  37.  
  38. Remember, your body language tells your dog a lot about what you want and expect. In fact, body language is often a more effective training tool than simply using your words. Therefore, if you are training your pet, have someone else observe your training sessions and give you feedback on what kind of body language you are using.
  39.  
  40. Be sure that you're washing your dog's water and food bowls regularly. Just like for humans, it is not sanitary for your pets to continuously eat from a dirty bowl. Be sure to wash your dog's bowls daily and provide fresh, clean food and water.
  41.  
  42.  
  43. Now that you have some simple tips to use with your dog, you should feel more confident in being a pet owner. That will result in a happier life for both you and your puppy pal. Don't stop learning here, instead keep reading all you can to ensure you're always up on the latest when it comes to dog ownership.

  45.  Making A Zip Line For Your Dog
  46.  Keeping our dog safe, and abiding by the rules of many of the places we visit, means that Myles spend a lot of time on-leash. Though we’re always exploring new places, life at the end of a six foot tether doesn’t provide him with much freedom. So, to give Myles more room to wander while we’re camping, we made an inexpensive zip line for our dog!
  47.  
  48.  Zip Line vs. Tie-Out
  49.  The zip line has a lot of advantages over cable tie-outs, which people often use to keep dogs from wandering off.
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  First, jumping up every two minutes to untangle your dog doesn’t happen with a zip line. If you have a dog who’s constantly wrapping his tie-out around the picnic table, tent stake, trees, and your chair, you know how impossible it is to relax with those shenanigans going on!
  53.  
  54.  
  55.  Second, you’ll never again feel the dread of watching your dog bolt to the end of their unforgiving cable tie-out. The zip line has more give and protects pets from injury.
  56.  
  57.  
  58.  Third, the zip-line won’t trip you when you’re stumbling around the campfire in the dark!
  59.  
  60.  Materials and Assembly
  61.  All you’ll need to make a zip line for your dog is some nylon rope and two spring clasps. Any hardware store will have these materials, or you can order them online for about fifteen dollars.
  62.  
  63.  
  64.  We chose a rope with a smooth cover, which makes it comfortable to handle when we’re putting it up and taking it down. It also has a bit of stretch for some shock absorbency to protect Myles from a sudden stop.
  65.  
  66.  
  67.  Rod used his Eagle Scout skills to handle the knot tying. He made quick work of the two bowline knots, attaching the spring clasps to the ends of rope.
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  Melting the fibers by passing the raw ends of the rope though a flame keeps them from unraveling. And – SHAZAM – the zip line is ready for action!
  71.  
  72.  Deciding On Length
  73.  The most difficult part of making your zip line will be deciding how long it should be.
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  We decided on a 50 foot line, which gives Myles plenty of room to explore. And because having too much is better than not enough.
  77.  
  78.  
  79.  That length also gives us more flexibility if we’re at a campsite with few anchor points. If we don’t have trees, we can attach one end to the ladder on the back of our motorhome and the other to a picnic table or post.
  80.  
  81.  Setting Up The Zip Line
  82.  Before setting up your dog’s zip line at a park or campground, check the rules to verify that they allow the rope to be wrapped around the trees. Also, placing a 1 to 2 inch webbing between the tree and the rope will help protect trees with soft bark. Nails and screws should not be attached to the tree when putting up your zip line.
  83.  
  84.  
  85.  It takes about five minutes to set up our zip line. In the photo below, we’ve wrapped one end of the rope around a tree and clipped the spring clasp on to the rope. Then, keeping the rope taught, we ran the rope to another tree, going around the tree as many times as necessary to take up the slack before clipping the spring clasp back to the rope.
  86.  
  87.  
  88.  The rope is placed high enough to just give Myles the ability to lie down comfortably. Giving him just enough leeway keeps him from building up too much velocity and jerking at the end of his leash if he decides to chase a gofer or give a squirrel a run for his money.
  89.  
  90.  We also use the dog zip line when our campsites have a ramada. It’s easy to wrap the line around two posts and snap the ends back on the rope.
  91.  
  92.  One Zip Line For Two Dogs
  93.  When we still had Ty and Buster, we made separate runs for each dog on the zip line.
  94.  
  95.  
  96.  We’d wrap the rope around the first tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. Then we’d make a complete pass around a second tree, creating the first section of zip line where Ty’s attached in the photo below. Then we’d wrap the rope around a third tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. That created the second run of zip line where Buster is attached in the photo below. Giving the boys their own space kept them from getting tangled around each other!
  97.  
  98.  Connecting Dogs A Zip Line
  99.  Pets should never be attached to a zip line by their collar, because it could choke them if they became tangled. When he’s on the zip line, Myles wears his harness, which has a loop on the back to connect the leash. The final step is to slip a heavy-weight carabiner through the leash handle and snap it on the line.
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  What’s “heavy-duty” enough for your carabiners? It depends on your dog! Mass times velocity = force. So, if you have a 50-pound dog and he can accelerate to 5 mph on the zip line, a caribiner rated for 250 pounds should be sufficient. Again, it’s best to err on the side of safety.
  103.  
  104.  Place your pup’s water bowl within easy reach and you’re done! Just remember never to leave your pal unattended on the zip line.
