Dog Tips

  If there is one command EVERY dog and pet parent should master, it is to teach your dog how to COME when called, as it can save their life should they be in impending danger. It is also something that can greatly reduce your stress as a parent.

It is important to note that you should NEVER use the COME command to call a dog to you for any discipline, because if you call a dog over to yell, scream, or scold him, do you really think that he will be anxious to COME to you again?

    Great advice. We learned that in puppy class early on. Also, never call your dog , then clip his nails, or clean his ears , etc. I love my Border Collie. : ))
