Your Guide to Buying a Dog House

When buying a dog house, two important factors are priority: Comfort and Safety. The style and design may satisfy your eyes, but never compromise your dog's needs. Here is a smart guide on buying a dog house:

Consider the size of your dog. Naturally, the house should be a place where your dog feels safe and comfortable. Make sure that there is enough room inside so he/she can move in all directions conveniently. See to it that the height of the house is just right for your dog's breed.

Make sure that the material is durable. Some dog houses are made out of wood and some are made out of plastic. Wooden dog houses are ideal for a backyard setting while plastic dog houses are easy to clean and maintain. You need to decide which material is most appropriate for your dog. Make sure that the house is durable and strong enough to carry your dog's weight, especially if you have a large dog.

Consider the weather. If you live in a cold region, an insulated doghouse is what you need. Don't forget to provide a warm bedding to keep him happy. Check the roofing of the doghouse to make sure that it can stand rainy days and heavy showers. A doghouse with a raised floor is recommended because the space will allow airflow and make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. A house with a removable roof is great for easier cleaning.

Here are some dog houses in different styles and materials that you may consider:

How to Stop Your Dog from Pulling on the Leash

Notice how untrained dogs pull on the leash as their human helplessly tries to make them stop? Dog walking can be a lot of fun, but if your dog isn’t following your lead, it can be very strenuous and frustrating. How do you train a dog to walk properly and follow your lead? Here are the steps: Before putting on the leash, let your dog sit and stay * * . Dogs love to go out for walks and seeing you with that leash in your hand can make him ecstatic. Never put on that leash until he sits and stays. If you do, he’ll get used to jumping around and would never stay still as you put on the leash on his neck. If he continues to jump around, put the leash away and repeat the command “Sit”. Make sure that your dog understands that unless he does as told, he’s not going out for a walk. If he sits and stays, and waits for you to put on the leash, praise him, give him a pat and assure him that he’s done a good job. Walk him to the door. After putting on the leash, your dog may...
