Shaker can! Stop that Jumping!
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Dog
Coca Cola/Pepsi tin can
7-10 pennies
Person :)
Packing Tape
Step1Clean out the soda can, let it dry (takes about 2 hours or so). Put 7-10 pennies in the can, tape the top
over with packing tape, tape the top real good, we don't want the pennies flying all over your house!
Step2Can is ready for action. Now as you walk in the door, into the dogs area etc (where your dog is prone to
jumping) have the can in hand, and shake back and forth as your dog jumps.
Step3Dog should get the idea, then tell your dog to sit and praise for sitting, we are discouraging the jumping
with a sound and then when your dog is sitting calmly you can give a scratch or pat on the head.

How to Train Hand signals to your dog
Step1Find a comfortable and relaxed place in your house. If you are training a puppy it might be helpful to
put a leash on. The leash may be helpful in preventing jumping and avoidance of distractions. The leash may
help redirect your dog if he/she gets distracted. If a distraction occurs simply guide your dog back to the
training area with the leash. Have some desirable treats close at hand, cheese and hot dogs work wonderfully.
Step2Begin by holding your treat in the palm of your hand, hold your hand flat and either crouch down to
your dogs level (if your dog is a puppy) or stand infront of your dog. As you hold your hand up palm facing
the sky, fingers straight out, treat in center say "sit" as long as your dog already knows the verbal command.
After your dog does this treat and praise him/her and do it again... Repetition is the key!!! *If your dog
doesn't know the verbal command teach verbal command by crouching to dogs level, hold treat in hand, raise
hand above dog's nose and slightly back towards the dogs backside, this will put them in a sit, then say the
command and treat as your dogs butt hits the ground.
Step3For the down command you will have to get a bit closer to the ground, closer to your dog. Put your dog
in a sitting position. Hold your treat in your hand, hand facing downward, try to hold your treat with two or
less fingers. Say "down" as you lower your hand towards the floor, this hand signal is the opposite of the sit
command. When your dog completes his/her down praise and treat!
Step4Now you will want to generalize this to your dog so practice it inside, outside, at the vet, at the park, on
a walk, in many different rooms of your house... etc. Also practice frequently. in a matter of a few weeks you
will be able to give your dog a hand command and leave out the verbal command! Congratulations! Now your
dog can listen to verbal and hand commands!

Picking the right puppy
How to Pick the Right puppy

Rate: (0 Ratings)
Looking for a puppy??? Want the right pick for your family? Like the looks of a lot of breeds but don't know
what to choose? This set of instructions will help you tremendously!
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Computer
Phone
This article
patience
Step1 Start by searching the internet and newspaper. Don't set your heart on one breed... If you have a great
deal of land or space for a dog to run and play then maybe you should consider a herding type breed
(border collie, Australian cattle dog). If you have a small house or apartment the best breeds are small type
breeds (mini/medium Goldendoodle, cocker spaniel). If you have kids steer clear of the guard breeds, working
breeds, Chihuahua) try the sporting breeds. If you are over 55 try a dog that can relax when you want to but
be active when you want to (Bishon frise, the doodle breeds, Pomeranian). Ok now that you have a general
idea lets really get started on learning how to search for the right dog.
Step2 Reputable Breeder qualities: -BBB accredited -Either does breeding as a business which means that this
person spends their life with these dogs every day day in and day out, or the breeder is a hobby breeder who
has a part time job or a work from home situation. I truly see a difference in professionalism and dog
personalities when the breeder is dedicated to their dogs and puppies. -Breeder has dogs in home or a kennel
that is sanitary, clean, inspected by local/state government etc... - Breeder has experience with dogs/animals
for a long time, either with behavior, obedience, showing, horse racing & breeding, etc. Be sure breeder is an
animal (at least dog) lover, this ensures that they give their all to their dogs. - Licensed and Inspected by
local/state authorities, this ensures that the breeder is frequently checked and that any activity they do
regarding the sales/breeding of dogs is regulated, this is a good thing because many breeders will have
unsanitary conditions, this ensures the upkeep and health of the dogs, also usually the law of the state will
protect the buyer in this case as well! -Breeder should be a member of a few organizations such as Kennel
clubs, training organizations, etc. this shows they are dedicated to the breed and further educating themselves
as breeders. -Make sure breeder has a contract, this means they really care about the puppy and want to be
sure you will follow a few simple rules such as getting puppy fixed at 5-6 months, etc... - when in doubt ask
for references, these should be from previous puppy owners and/or other breeders.
Step3 Call/e-mail breeder you have found. Ask the following if it is not clearly stated on the website: 1. when
do you let the puppies go to their new homes? 2. what kind of health guarantee is there? 3. what testing
(genetic, hip, eye) has been done to the adults? 4. what temperament are the breeding pair?**** 5. will you
send photos of the pups development? 6. will you deliver/can I pick up puppy? 7. do you choose the dog
based on my criteria/family style? ***please note temperament is not a general thing that just every dog should
have the same temperament. Every dog is going to have a different temperament, but do know that if you are
seeking a more "aggressive" breed be aware that temperament can play a critical part in your dog getting
along with your family!!! However if you are choosing a dog like a Golden Retriever, a Goldendoodle, a Bishon,
a spaniel, a Lab, etc temperament will most likely be sweet but it can also be active.
Step4 ok.. now that you have asked here are the answers you should get: 1. when do you let the puppies go to
their new homes? Answer: 8 or more weeks.. never before 8 weeks should a puppy leave the breeder! 2. what
kind of health guarantee is there? Answer: there should be a 2 year health guarantee. I shall elucidate on this
though; many people are fooled by the fact that OFA hip tests can not be done prior to 2 years, that is
INACCURATE! If you have a question regarding your dogs hips and want them tested at 5 months a OFA
certified/Penn HIP certified Vet can conduct the test, it will not be certifiable (OFA only) until a test is
completed at 2 years or more, however if a dog has a severe genetic hip disorder it will most likely show before
2 years! 3. what testing (genetic, hip, eye) has been done to the adults? Answer: for most breeds Hip testing
should be done, many breeds should also be tested for Von Willebrands, and an eye test should be done as
well. I prefer to buy dogs from Breeders who have conducted Penn HIP hip testing, CERF eye testing and PRA
eye testing, OFA usually is done with the Penn HIP. These tests rule out genetic disorders. I also like to see a
DNA profile on the dog as well. See my site for the list of DNA tests that should be done (I do these). http:
//goodlepups.com/healthtests.html 4. what temperament are the breeding pair?**** Answer: this will depend on
your family but if you are a laid back family you do not want an active dog, if you are an active family an
active dog is good... 5. will you send photos of the pups development? Answer: if you found the breeder on the
web yes they should definitely send photos of the pups as they grow!!! 6. will you deliver/can I pick up puppy?
Answer: they should leave this up to you, they should offer delivery, there is usually a minimal charge but they
should not ship dogs alone on plane etc. Dogs should be delivered by a qualified person who can care for the
dog during the ride. Dogs can go on airplanes but they must be accompanied by either the new owner or
breeder. Many breeders are now being very cautious as to who comes into their home for reasons of the
possibility of diseases entering the breeding area, this is understandable and should be accepted by the new
owner. I allow new owners in after pups are 6 weeks and I will show a pup or two at a time while the person
is at my home.
Step5 Continued: 7. do you choose the dog based on my criteria/family style? Answer: Breeder chooses dog
based on family and the criteria the family has given to breeder. This helps make sure you receive the dog that
best fits your family! ultimately breeder and family choose together but it is essential that the breeder has a
say in the choice of dog for your family, after all the breeder knows the puppies best and can determine their
temperaments best so that you end up with the right dog!
Step6 Now that you have asked, be sure your breeder is going to give you a list of recommended products for
your dog. And be sure to ask for training advice as well!
Tips & Warnings
Don't settle on a dog too quick, it is ok to wait a few months, many breeders will put you on a wait list for
the next litter, this is ok... This is a big decision and good things come to those who wait!
Make sure you get your dog when the time is right, try not to plan a vacation for the few weeks to months
after you get your puppy, puppies take time and energy, and I know you want to be there for the growth and
development. Plus it is essential for bonding!!!
Don't buy someone a puppy for Christmas unless they are expecting it!
Getting a puppy for a child is great but know this- your son/daughter may not be ready for the responsibility,
as long as you are then having this puppy will be a pleasure, if not it will be a disaster!
