TORREVIEJA.com - Interactive website of the city of Torrevieja, in Alicante, Spain.: Dog training The Best Training Diet ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:45:00 Nothing is more essential to good training than good health. And the foundation of good health is a good diet. Your Dog Around Horses ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:44:00 You've undoubtedly noticed that your dog is much smaller than a horse. (Well, most are anyway.) Nevertheless, most horses are much more frightened of dogs than the reverse. That creates unique problems - for dog, horse and the person who has to govern both. Training Your Dog Not To Bite ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:43:00 According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), dogs bite more than 4.7 million people per year. Law suits, medical bills and sometimes dog euthanasia are common results from this unwanted - and often avoidable - behavior. Training the Trainer ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:41:00 Dog training philosophies vary as much as dogs and trainers do. Most professionals agree, however, that a large part of training dogs consists of training the trainers. Training Styles - Part II ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:40:00 Training styles differ, but some traditional techniques have proven their worth. Training Styles - Part I ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:39:00 Contrary to popular belief, there are not as many training styles as there are trainers. Despite individual differences, people handling dogs fall into clearly recognizable categories. And no matter your individual style or that of your dog, there remain certain truisms. Training Show Dogs ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:37:00 Over 130 different breeds compete in major dog shows, such as the Westminster in the US or Crufts in the UK. But there's a good deal more to developing a show dog than simply acquiring a dog of one of those breeds and teaching it to sit or stay. Training Rescued Dogs ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:36:00 Normal dog training requires patience that is greater nowhere else but childrearing. Training rescued dogs takes even more. Training Passive Dogs ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:34:00 Like humans, dogs are individuals. Some, through a combination of genetics, circumstances and self-development display assertive characteristics and others are more passive. Training Older Dogs ================================================================================ Redaccion on 05 April, 2008 03:33:00 Of course, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' is a myth. Like humans, or many other species, dogs learn new things every day throughout life. My ten-year old Golden is still mentally alert and eager to 'play' in new ways.
