Keep Your dog healthy
General Health One main point in having a happy dog is having a dog that is healthy. Different breeds of dogs may develop different illnesses whether it be physical or mental. Once you notice any form of breakdown in your Dog's health, it is always good to consult your local vet and tell them about the situation to see if it can be resolved without bringing in the animal. If you feel that whatever you have tried isn't working, pack your dog in you mobile and bring it to the vet immediately.
Nutrition Having a happy dog requires that it is properly fed. This doesn't mean that you throw him five (5) pounds of meat every five minutes, but ensure that he is given the right amount of food at the right time of day and that the food he is given contains the correct nutrition which will allow him to grow healthy and strong. Over feeding you dog is not in anyway helping him. Don't allow your dog to be over weight as this can even lead to heart problems in your dog. Dogs should be lean and have a balanced weight in proportion to height and age.

Listen When Your Dog Talks Back Dogs actually speak to us and expect us to understand what they are saying as much as how we expect them to understand when we tell them to sit or fetch. They express their language to us in different sounds they make along with body languages which every dog owner must pay keen attention to. When interacting with your dogs, look out for the yawn, the lip lick, shake-off, the ear flick, the downward dog looking stretch, and the head turn; just to name a few! These are just some of the many cues dogs use to communicate with us each time we interact with them. If you pay close attention, even the way how the dog barks can tell you what he is saying. Steady continues barks can symbolize that something maybe wrong or danger is near. One to two barks with five second intervals can signal that he wants you to know something and you should follow him. They communicate in so many ways, you just have to take the time to understand your own dog's personality and communication methods.

There are many beaches that are not so populated that are suited for letting your Dog unleash his inner dog. You can also take him to the dog park and let him hang out with his buddies there for a while, have a couple beers and pick up chicks, while the females get together and discuss puppy stuff.
