There are millions of animals across the globe who have no where to go except to be placed in the animal shelter. Some animals which have been rescued have had critical injuries resulting in loss of limbs, eye and other parts of their bodies. The very sad truth is that we cannot have enough persons to show love to these needy animals by rescuing them from the shelter and giving them a proper home and family to love. One other sad truth is that pets with major injuries such as the loss of a limb is rarely adopted. There are a variety breed of Dogs waiting to be taken home and given love. The fact is that many animal shelters stay open because of hearty donations received. If it was not for some generous animal lovers, many of these animals would literally be left on the streets or in some home to rot and die. Animal shelters sometimes have to face the music and eventually put some of the animals to sleep. 

There are many times in which owners walk into shelters with animals which they (claimed) to have loved and decided to give them up to animal shelters. The first question which the shelter manager asks is why are you giving up your pet? Some of the answers received will shock you and many times makes you quite angry and upset. Some owners will say that they never knew that the cute puppy they loved would have gotten that big! What the hell would you think if you bought a puppy rottweiler? Some give excuses that they re moving to a different state or place which does not allow pets. That's just disgusting, you have a pet and that pet is apart of your family. If you are moving you should move to a place where your pet can also live too.

Shelters face tremendous burden when it comes to taking care of full healthy animals much less those which are critically ill. Those which are ill and suffering will be put down, and any times the process is not simply ABC. Dogs are lead away on leash thinking they are actually going for a walk and are quite enthused as they willingly spring to play wagging their tails and making happy barks. Then when they reach the vet and enter the room of sleep they smell the passing of many sorrowful souls and a tonne of fear and sadness enters the animal. The animal is held down and then the needle is administered into the vein of the animal. Then the vets watch as the life seeps away and the animal gasp and kicks as its last breath is snuffed away.  Its a tearful situation, but it happens. You can help out these poor animals by simply rescuing any one of these dogs.

I Started bathing my pups at 2 months old.
My retriever and shih-poo do get their regular bath. They like to have a ball outside and gets messed up on a regular basis. Puppies like to play and if their are anything lying around or anything which they can jump to retrieve, it is guaranteed it will end up around their little bodies or in their mouth. They will get dirty on, old newsprint if they are being paper-trained, dog food, or just plain dirt.  If your puppies are not that dirty and probably don't need a bath. You can easily use some disposable wipes to get rid of sticky or dirty furs.

If you plan on keeping your dogs well groomed and plan on giving them regular bath. It would be a good idea to get them used to bathing by start bathing them from puppy stages. The thing with bathing your puppy is that the first few bath may probably be chaotic and even heart breaking if you are deeply emotional about dog whining!. Your puppy will be exposed to bathing for the first time and may put up resistance and try its best to escape the watery monster and shampoo. You will definitely get that emotional whining as though something is wrong with your pup. Just toughen up and see the bathing through.

Bath Preparation
Ensure that you do not have too much water in the bath which may seem as though your puppy is traversing the river Nile. Have enough water in the puppy's bath pan to cover about two inches pass his claws. Have the puppy towel and shampoo and grooming kit on hand so you don't have to be dashing out with the wet puppy to retrieve those items. Ensure that the water is room temperature and that you are bathing the dog in an enclosed internment which will not cause cold air to be blowing on the animal during bath.

How To Bath Your Puppy Correctly

Hold you puppy under the chest are encapsulating both front paws. Slightly lift the front chest area up so the pup knows that it is being held and will try to wriggle away from the bathing process less. Soak the fur of the animal thoroughly and apply doggy shampoo. Don't just quickly rub on the shampoo and quickly wash it off, ensure that you lather your pup fully, take into considerations those ell dirty areas. It would be nice if when you are bathing the puppy you speak to him/her to help calm them down if they get agitated. Do the process as quickly and as thorough as possible. Shampoo all areas including paws and vaginal or penis area and rinse off thoroughly.

Once the bath process is completed, then its off to drying, and just like bathing your puppy, you must ensure that the puppy is dried thoroughly before letting him do undo all your hard work again. If the puppy is not dried properly after bathing, you will find that any form of grease or dirt will find it quite easily to attach itself to the puppy, making him probably even more dirty that it was before. Use a nice towel to dry all areas of the animal, Get the blow-dryer and place it at a comfortable distance an while using a waiving hand movement and dry your puppy.

One trick with fluffy-coat puppies is that to brush and untangle that fur before you begin his/her bath time. You don't want when the water hits those fluffy fur they become more tangled than they already are. It is best if you also acquire a puppy tearless shampoo so to mitigate against irritation of the eyes. Depending on the quality of your dig skin,you will need to use the appropriate shampoos. So for example if your puppy seems to have flaky skin, you can use oatmeal or olive oil based shampoos. When you puppy is wet, ticks and fleas can easily be seen. If your puppy has fleas, it is better to use natural ticks and flea shampoo. Avoid harsher chemicals as this may hurt your puppies delicate skin.

Whatever you do while bathing your puppy, always have safety in mind first for the animal.

1. Examine bathing water level
2. Use the right shampoo
3. Dry animal Thoroughly
   

The puppy will eventually get used to being bathed once it is done properly and without extreme trauma to the pet.

It would be much easier if you get professional dog trainer to tackle this or if you have time and is completely up to the task well you will enjoy that sweet challenge.

Enlisting Your Dog At The Dog School
Just like you would find the right school for you child or yourself, it is of equal importance to find the right dog training school for your dog. You would have to consider things when choosing the school such as, distance, personality of your dog, what is it you want your dog to learn, age and maybe breed of dog.
Dog schools have the expertise and experience to make dog training much easier, if you want your dog to learn the basic commands such as sit, stay, come or stop. There are other skills which they are able to teach your dog such as not begging for food. But this maybe something you yourself will best be suited to take on especially if your dog always begs for food at the dinner table. Children tend to spoil dogs this way and almost always will throw down pieces of meat for the dog to eat.

Local dog schools do not just offer the basic sit and stay command, but are able to teach your pet more advance things in training. Have you ever sat at one of these pet shows where owners come with all sorts of animals (mostly dogs) and perform tricks such as dancing dog, dog balancing ball, dog playing checkers and all those advanced tricks. Those are the results of Dog training schools or dog owners whom have mastered the art of advanced dog training.

Competing In Dog Shows
If you are considering to enter you dog into any kind of dog show, your dog must exhibit advanced dog training.  The basic sit, stop and stay will not cut it. The dog must exhibit discipline and control as well as still have that warm dog personality. So you would want to find a school which specializes in dog handling or showing. These schools are good but will cost you a bit more then the regular dog training school. But it is of the most importance that before you showboat your dog, ensure that the dog is at maximum health.

Service Dog Training
There are many levels and categories of dog training and i can tell you that one of the more honorable thing that a dog can be trained for is to become guide dog or a service dog. Guide dogs are dogs which are trained and assigned to blind persons who seek their services. It is of the most importance that guide and service dogs are well trained as many of these animals are literally guiding people's lives.  Not all dogs will have the aptitude nor temperament to become service and guide dogs. Special training schools are necessary as training will require detailed and in depth commands which these dogs must learn and learn well. If you are interested in service training for your dog, there are many available but choosing the right dog training school is equally important. You can sieve through the internet for these schools or speak with breeders or your veterinarian.

Dog Potty Training
potty training your dog is really quite important especially if you are living with a complete indoor dog. You definitely don't want to come home and tired as hell and then slumps down in you couch only to be greeted with a face full of dog poo. Potty training for dogs is quite common teaching at dog schools and will be quite a valuable lesson once your dog learns it. I can guarantee that if nothing else, you would certainly want your dog to know where to put his waste.

Steps You Can Follow When Putting Your Dog Through Training

You need to garner information about the Dog School Which Best suites you and your Dog Needs.

• What are the training skills they offer
• How long is each training
• What Type of Dogs Do They Train
• Does your dog receive one on one attention (important for certain dogs)
  

How are Large Dogs And Small Dogs Trained And Situated
If you have a small dog that may be scared because of the larger dogs, you need to find out if dog training classes are separate for large and small dogs. You don't want anything that may seem to be a distraction when it comes to getting your dog trained and trained properly. Large dog sometimes may tend to bully out smaller dogs hence pushing them to the back of the line. You want your dog to feel comfortable and happy wherever he/she is and definitely would not want any harm to come to your pet. Ensure that before you place your dog in a dog school you read all documentations correctly before making any decisions.

If you are totally attached to your pooch and don't want him out of your site, you can settle for a bit more expensive approach. You can get a qualified and experienced trainer to come to your home and have one on one training with your dog.

Of course in anything that we do a little bit of finance may be involved. Your budget will also determine the dog training school you send your pet as prices will differ from school to school. Those prices will be based up type of training, who is doing the training, how established and well ranked a dog training school is and of course the location of the school. If money and location is of no significance to you and you can pay for the best dog training school, well do so.

Finding A Dog Training School That Is Not So Expensive
If you can't afford one of those high end dog schools. You have the option of enrolling you and your dog into a local dog school. They can be found at community colleges, city recreation centers, through pet stores, and even through private dog schools. The thing about these local inexpensive schools is that you don't get a lot of options so most training is bulky, meaning that your dog may be trained with large number of dogs at the same time, both large and small dogs. Most of these trainings are done in dog parks maybe once per week.

Conclusion
It is a very important decision when choosing the school to train your dog. Dogs will benefit greatly from the tutoring they have received and in return you will benefit also from a much obedient and trained dog. Make the right choice in dog training so your dog will enjoy it and not see it as a military operation. Happy Training.
