What Dogs Need

Back

A Dog

A dog is smart, obedient, loyal, playful, trusting, forgiving, funny, and faithful. With love and good care, they can become your best friend.

A Dog Needs Lots of Love

Gentle petting, rubbing, stroking, hugging, and frequent praise

"Good Dog!"

Being with people, sharing playtimes, TV times, resting times, and anytime.

A Dog Needs Food and Water

Fresh water everyday, mother’s milk for young puppies, prepare dog foods dry, semi - moist, canned but not too much, dog biscuits and treats, and for chewing give them nylon or rawhide chew bones.

A Dog Needs Training

Even kids can teach dogs to behave. You should train your dog to behave, to walk on a leash, sit, stay, lay down, come when called, and to do tricks, roll over, shake paws, and retrieve. You should always try to train your dog to do the above.

A Dog Needs Exercise and Play

Walks on a leash, running, jumping, playtimes with hard rubber dog toy, safe toys, and Frisbees for playful dogs.

All Dogs Need a Bed

A cardboard box for the new puppy, a doghouse for an outside dog and for a lucky dog sometimes people’s beds. You need different size beds for different size dogs. For a new dog you should also put an alarm clock in their beds with the alarm off but ticking because they think its their mother’s heartbeat and they just got taken away from their mothers.
