Owning a dog has been proven to be just as effective as taking anti-depressants, thus relieving you of feelings of depression and loneliness. Another medical fact is a lower blood pressure, and a reduction in stress. Nothing on earth tops the love and companionship of owning a dog. There are a few things to consider though, and that is dog behavior problems that might spring up. It could be anything from digging up your yard, destroying your stuff by chewing, wetting the floors, and maybe even barking all night.

Of all of the dog behavior problems there are, biting is probably the most serious. If your dog pees on the rug, runs away, or goes on the couch it probably won’t be a big deal. If you dog gives someone a serious bite, however, many communities require that it be put down. Dog biting problems can literally mean the end of your dog’s life, so it is important to train your dog to never bite anyone.

One of the first daily routines to be established with any new puppy and perhaps some adult dogs that are new is where and when it is appropriate to relieve themselves.

Your canine buddy has been watching you intently. As a result, it’s very likely that he knows much more about you than you know about him.
