By Sara Reighard


You may be a first time dog owner or it may be a long time since you had your last dog and are preparing to have a new one. If either of these are the case, it can be a helpful to know the things your new dog will need. There are hundreds of wonderful products available, but only a few of these are really very necessary for a dog to have.

You will definitely need sets of dishes because dogs need to eat and drink. You will need dishes that are large in order to accommodate the large amount of food needed each day, and large dishes made of ceramic or metal are those easy to clean and very durable. Make sure that plenty of water is available for your dog, but be sure to replace the water daily and also check the amount of water several times a day.

It is better to feed your dog with the same type of food each day, and this is good for a puppy newly purchased or a rescue dog adopted. If you want to change the type of food, do it gradually because when you change the food given, it can cause upset stomach on your dog. The best type of food for your dog and also within your budget has to be discussed with your veterinarian.

The proper dog collar and also leash are those you need for your dog. A leash that is long is good for walking your dog and also feel comfortable with this, and this leash should be strong and sturdy also. A neck collar or harnesses are options for you to choose. For dogs with slender necks or those with some breathing concerns, harnesses are excellent options. Tags with the dog's name and also contact information of the owner should be attached, and this is for dogs getting lost, and the dog's license tags should be attached also.

One of the most important things that you need to do for your dog is to complete a dog obedience training program. Obedience is important for several reasons and one of the biggest is that dog training keeps your dog safe from harm. An obedient dog is one that won't run away from your yard or dart out of your car, and an obedient dog will sit and stay in any situation. In addition, dog training eliminates many problems that dog owners encounter, such as having a dog that barks too much or chews or scratches on doors or jumps on people when they enter your home.

For your dog training in Seattle, it is best for you to contact a company such as Seattle Family Dog Training. They have a special Seattle dog training program that teaches owners how to enforce your personal house rules and also teaching the proper leash etiquette and also lessen some dog bad behaviors like excessive barking, jumping on people, and also running away and others. The Seattle Family Dog Training program will include puppies training courses and also for older dogs, including dog training lessons for aggressive dogs.
