Dog Training - How to Train a RottweilerBy Eric Letendre

Rottweilers are big, strong; very strong dogs that really are great family pets. Because of their strength and size it's important to start training early and to socialize early. Improperly trained or handled and a Rotti can become a threat to you and your family. The same can happen with any dog that is treated poorly. A Rotti has the size and strength to do a lot more damage than a Chihuahua.

If you get your Rotti as a puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) start socialization immediately. Bring your puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) around a lot of different people, friendly puppies and places as possible. The socialization period is short and crucial. Not properly socialized dogs become fearful which can lead to aggressive behavior, not a good behavior for a Rottweiler. I can't stress this point enough - socialize your Rottweiler puppy.

Next to socialization start training early. Start teaching your pup to sit, down, stand, stay, heel and come. All very important commands for your Rotti to learn.

Conditioning exercises are also important. You do not want your Rotti guard his toys or food bowl. As a puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) get your Rotti to accept you around the food bowl and toys. Do object exchanges with your pup. When your pup has a toy, teach "Drop it." Say "Drop it" and take the toy away from your pup and then give your pup a treat for dropping it.

Become the leader. This is done by controlling the activities that are important to yourdog. The most important activities are playing, eating, sleeping and social contact between you and your dog. Control the games, take charge of the sleeping areas, put your Rotti on a feeding schedule and don't let your dog demand your attention.

All dogs require exercise. Rottweiler's are very intelligent dogs and also require a mental workout. After you have given your dog some physical exercise also spend some time letting your Rotti use his brain. Obedience, tricks and toys like a Buster Cube and Kong toy are all great things you can do to keep your dog's brain active.

Management of behavior is important. A fenced in yard if possible is a good idea. Crate training can also be very helpful; in my experience a lot of people are nervous around Rottweilers. By teaching your Rottweiler to go to her crate on command can be very helpful.

Dog Training - How to Train a Cocker SpanielBy Eric Letendre

Cocker Spaniels are a very chic / stylish / trendy / hip / cool breed that tends to be good with children (young people) and other dogs. Because of its size and temperament Cocker Spaniels are great for apartment living and make great additions to any family.

If you get your Cocker Spaniel as a puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) start socialization early. Cocker Spaniels like any breed of dog needs to be exposed to a lot of different people, places, sounds and other dogs when they are puppies. The more your Cocker Spaniel is socialized the more stable they will be as adults.

Crate training is very important for Cocker Spaniels. The one big behavior problem faced by many Cocker Spaniel owners is housetraining. By using a crate it can greatly help with any housetraining problem.

Management of behavior is very important. Keep a close eye on your puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) until they are fully housetrained. A fenced in yard is also a very good idea to keep your dog in the yard.

Cocker Spaniels need to be groomed on a frequent and regular basis. Get your Cocker used to grooming early. Make it a fun experience by brushing and combing in short sessions that are ended with a toy or treat.

Train early using positive reinforcement. Cocker Spaniels can be very sensitive dogs and do not respond well to harsh training. Some good commands to teach are sit, stand, down, stay, heel and come.

Cocker Spaniels are from the sporting group and require regular exercise. It's good to physically and mentally exercise your Cocker Spaniel. Swimming, hiking, walking and retrieving are all great physical activities for your Cocker. Obedience and tricks are great mental actives. Buster Cubes and Kong toys are also good toys that mentally exercise your Cocker.

How to Train a Labrador RetrieverBy Eric Letendre

Labrador Retrievers are America's most chic / stylish / trendy / hip / cool breed and it's easy to understand why. Labs are great family pets that get along great with children (young people) other dogs and they are easy to train. Like any dog a Lab should have some basic obedience the act of obeying; dutiful or submissive behavior with respect to another person training.

Start training early. Socialize your lab puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) and start training using positive reinforcement. Socialize your puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) with other puppies, people and different places. The more you socialize your puppy (dog typically under 1 year old) the more stable he will be as an adult dog.

Labs have lots of energy. Behavior problems can crop up when your Lab has too much pent up energy. Being a very smart breed they need mental exercise along with physical exercise.

Physical activities include walking, hiking, swimming, hunting, retrieving and playing tug. Mental activities include obedience the act of obeying; dutiful or submissive behavior with respect to another person training, teaching tricks and using toys like the Buster Cube and Kong Toy.

Once your Lab's exercise needs are taken care of you can focuson establishing yourself as the leader. Dogs are pack animals and do respond to a social structure. See leadership article in resource section on how to do this.

Some important commands to teach your Lab are sit, down, stand, stay, come, and heel. Labs are very excitable and tend to pull in leash. An excellent collar to use is a Gentle Leader head collar. It can really help with walking.

Labs tend to love (not the same as infatuation) retrieving and toys. You can use this to your personal advantage when it comes to training. Any behaviors you reward get stronger and stronger. You can use balls or toys to teach your Lab to do obedience.
