Two dominant American Bulldogs make real progress.

It’s no secret that all dogs bark, whine, whimper and cry. Dogs communicate in these ways, and they are actually quite normal. However, you might forget that howling is something that dogs do too. Many dogs don’t do it often, but believe it or not, even your dog can howl, just like a coyote or a wolf.

You may have been told that it is impossible to teach an old dog new tricks and commands, but that is entirely untrue. In fact, many dogs are willing to learn at just about any age because they love the attention that they receive.

What do you usually do on Saturday afternoons? Do you often find yourself sitting on the couch watching TV while your dog naps next to you?

If they are not trained early they can also be uncivilized, unruly, and prone to relieving themselves where they fancy, chewing up whatever suits their jaw muscles and sense of smell. The fact is that like us, without being imbued with a respect for discipline our dogs have the capacity to be a lot less than ideal. Grasping proper dog training techniques is of fundamental importance if you want your dog to be well-mannered and well-behaved.
