what is the best dog training book to read for an apbt puppy?
i recently ordered pit bulls for dummies, and will soon acquire a copy of dog training for dummies. the lady that lives downstairs from me gave me a book titled ‘Smarter than you Think’ and it tells you to throw things at your dog to teach it to come, and to stick a match in its butt to poop, and not trust dog food companies, and all this weird stuff, not too sure about that book. any other suggestions? or tips?
What is the best dog food for a dog with kidney disease?
Well, my newly adopted dog was just diagnosed with kidney disease. They said it’s not bad yet, but that I should feed her some special kidney disease food. I take her to the vet in Petsmart (Banfield), so she recommended Hills K/D (the only kind they sell there). Anyway, I was wondering what anyone thinks is the best dog food for kidney disease “treatment”. Thanks for any suggestions!! 
ps: it’s chronic kidney disease, in case it matters. And she’s only 3 years old. Thanks again!

Dog Training ? Best Dog Leads and Leashes
Dog leashes or leads are an extremely essential training tool or even just for general care and wellbeing for your dog. Whether you use your leash for taking you dog for long walks or only use it for teaching your dog right from wrong in the comfort of your back garden, a lead is always an important buy for you and your dog. As a dog owner and a consumer, your choice of dog leads/leashes is as you might expect, huge. With so much choice and variations, choosing which lead or leash to use can be a bigger challenge than the actual training of your dog. So what are the different kinds of leads and leashes? Well trust me there are thousands out there to choose from, I will only go through a few of the more popular types of leash as I’m sure there are many different types of leads being brought onto the market every week and it would be an impossible task to keep track of all of them. In the next part of this article I will first go through the different types of lead then finish off with my personal views and preferences. Extending leads These do exactly what is says, they ‘extend’ away from the owner for a certain distance before running out of slack. With these leashes the owner has control of when to stop the lead extending further and can be used just like a normal leash if needs be. Slip leads These leads are a simple type of lead with a loop on both sides normally with and adjustable clip at the end that tightens when pulled or loosens around the dog’s neck for comfort when there is no pulling. Used by many for dog training. Nylon leads This is the cheaper option of dog lead, the simplest form of dog leash available, often causes rubbing and digging into your dog’s skin. Nylon leashes are best avoided. Bungee leads These leads help to eliminate the slack that other leads cause so that your dog does not trip over the leash and there is less pulling on your arm from a dog in the training process. Leather leads This is a popular type of lead that is comfortable for your dog and gives you full control of how far your dog can wonder. A good lead for training but can be tiring on your arm if your dog tends to try and pull you around. My Conclusion It is the preference of the trainer in hand at the end of the day but I feel leather leads are best for me and show your dog sum gentle authority when starting to train. Letting your dog wonder too far on walks can give your dog too much freedom and chance to misbehave. If you are interested in training then I would go for a leather lead to begin, if you just like going for walks in the park or your dog is well behaved then you could maybe opt for an extendable leash.
What Are The Best Dog House Training Aids?
Are you desperate to get your pet house trained so you can get a break from scrubbing your carpets clean? Your new dog is so adorable, but do you find that you’re on edge waiting for the next time he is going to have a little ‘accident’? I want to share with you the best tips for house training your dog and what the best dog house training aids are! DOG HOUSE TRAINING – THE FACTS Up until they are about 6 months old, your puppy with need to go to the toilet ALOT! Whatever goes in will need to come out pretty much straight away! Pee pads/house training pads are absolute MUST HAVE dog house training aids. Some people choose to use newspaper but the benefit of the pads is that they are absorbent and many of them are scented, so your house doesn’t smell of pee! WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME WITH YOUR DOG Take your puppy to his ‘toilet’ space (your yard/garden etc) every 45-60 minutes or so. Use one particular phrase such as ‘toilet’ or ‘be clean’ and keep repeating this. Pups love to learn and they will begin to recognise this word and what you mean. Wait until your puppy has done his business and then praise him with a little treat! WHEN YOUR DOG IS HOME ON HIS OWN Ensure the dog is does not have the full freedom of your house when you are not there. Make him comfortable in the kitchen with his bed, food, water and some toys to play with. At first you will need to use quite a few pee pads. Once you’ve figured out where in the room he chooses to go to the toilet, you can use fewer pads. Gradually move the pads closer to the back door. This gets him used to having to go the door when he needs to go out. If he has an accident, you may have been moving the pads too quickly. If you get home and he hasn’t had an accident, make sure you praise him and give him a treat! IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER You should never punish your dog if he has an accident, he won’t understand what he has done wrong. It’s up to you to train him. Reward him for being a good student!
