Having a new dog is a wonderful addition to the household. But their is much to know when getting a dog, even if it's an older dog. Why not rescue one in need? Giving them love is more gratifying then anything. 

I have owned many dogs threwought my life, i have never been without a dog. Now I have two wonderful Jack Russell Terriers named Rocky and Jack. See their web page http://jackanrockyd.weebly.com/


General Rules

Never hit a young puppy.

Praise exuberantly.

Be consistent with your dog, rather than harsh.

Don't allow biting, but only correct after 14 weeks (yelp and replace hand with toy before that)

Never correct a dog after the fact.

Dogs need new experiences with other people, dogs and places, when very young to get socialized.

Praise exuberantly.

Dogs need successes and less correction before full maturity so they can develop confidence.

Train your dog in order to establish communication and give it purpose, and make it tolerable.

Dogs need to be in a dominance hierarchy with everyone; if you are not above your dog, you will be below it.

Praise exuberantly.

Dominance over a dog is achieved with leadership, never harshness.
