While those sloppy kisses may be cute, be aware that your dog's mouth is apt to be crawling with germs and bacteria. Dogs poke around trash cans, love smelling and licking other dogs' body parts and enthusiastically drink from toilet bowls. It is not true that a dog has a cleaner mouth than a person. This is absolutely a myth!

Do not feed your dog "people food". This teaches dogs bad habits. "People food" can also make dogs sick and contribute to obesity. Make sure your dog does not sit near the table and beg, so you aren't tempted.

Dog training should take place on your property. It's never good to try and train your pet when there are quite a few people around. There are too many distractions there.

Even if your dog is well-behaved, never leave home without putting him on a leash. Anything can happen, causing your dog to run away or get in a fight with other dogs or even people. You will be to blame if your dog gets hurt for being off his leash.

Certain dog breeds are prone to particular health issues, so find out what is typical for the type of dog you have. Take the time to read up on your breed so that you don't get any surprises down the road. Also, you can speak with the vet to see what can be done so that your pet will have a better chance at avoiding health problems.

If so, show him extra love and attention and leave music on while you are away. The sound of music could help him feel more secure and keep him company. It could be just what he needs to get over his anxiety while he waits for you to come home.

If you'd like to be a dog owner, but think you might not be able to handle the commitment, consider fostering dogs. Shelters are full of animals who need a loving home, and there's not room to hold all of them. Fostering a dog will both help the cause and allow you to test drive the responsibility involved with pet ownership.

The cheapest dog food may not always be the best buy when considering what food to feed your dog. Later on, it will help that you've fed your dog quality and nutritious food. This may mean higher costs for a better brand, but your dog will get great nutrition from proper sources.

If you are seeking a dog of a particular breed, be sure to check with your local animal shelter first. Dogs are abandoned daily at such facilities, and they are in need of new homes. Call the pound to see what they have.
