Many people want to raise a healthy, happy and well-adjusted dog. It is not too hard to do this at home, as long as you know what you are doing. Read on and you will find a large collection of tips that have been used in training dogs all over the world.

Dogs with puppy separation anxiety will benefit from affection from places other than their favorite person. In other words, their favorite person should diminish attention. You should only greet the pooch when she is calm and quiet. Other people in the home should take her out and help with training sessions so she builds a relationship and comfort with others as well.

Dogs with puppy separation anxiety should not sleep in their human's bed. Fido may be warm, but unfortunately, sleeping in bed often causes dogs to build unhealthy, obsessive fixations on their owners. By giving your dog a crate or bed of his own, he will have his own space and learn a little independence.

You shouldn't wait for bad behaviors to start to begin preemptively addressing them. Most new dog owners can expect at least one bad behavior to crop up during their time as a dog owner! Start addressing inappropriate soiling, destructive chewing and puppy separation anxiety as if they're likely to happen, and make sure your environment makes those things hard to occur!

If you have a dog with puppy separation anxiety, you can train him out of this anxiety by varying your routine. If you act like you're leaving the house, but then don't or store your jacket in the car instead of the closet, you can break the cycle of actions that get the dog hyped up with anxiety to begin with.

If your dog seems depressed or gets anxious when you are about to leave the house, your dog might suffer from puppy separation anxiety. To help your dog go through the day, leave something that has your smell on it, such as an old piece of clothing. This could mean that your dog will not miss you so much.

Most people find that, with a little bit of dog training, their relationship with their dog improves tremendously. And as you can see, training your dog, while not an intuitive process, IS a much easier process than most people think. So put some of our suggestions into practice, and you'll see for yourself!
