I want to get a dog from the Humane Society and will opt towards an easily trainable dog and/or one who is already trained. If he is already trained, what will I personally have to do to so he responds to me? Also, what exactly are the things I would train him? Basically, if he listens to me and can understand the commands, he will be able to understand most of what I want him to do, right?

I am adopting a 12 week old puppy soon. She’s my first one and I’m so excited! =)) But I’m a little unsure how you train a puppy… like housebreaking, teething, etc. Do you have any advice for a first-time puppy owner or any good books you would recommend? Thank you!
ETA: She is a sheltie/corgi mix. I have read that shelties and corgis are very vocal dogs… will she be a barker? How do you discourage barking?

While most people feel that just picking a cute puppy is the hardest part when looking at Beagle puppies for sale, they are sadly mistaken. There is so much to learn about any breed of dog and it is best to do that before your purchase instead of after. Know what to watch out for and understanding what you can expect or not expect from your puppy as he or she grows into an adult dog.

It is vital to educate yourself on Beagle puppy care and to make sure that you know how and where to find safe places to purchase your puppy from. You never want to go in without knowledge as you are likely to make a bad choice and will not be able to catch clues that the breeder has not done everything they should be doing in regards to housing the puppies. It is often said that knowledge is power and that has never been truer then now.

After knowing all there is to know about Beagle puppy care it is now time to look for a puppy. Knowing where to go is vital as they are many different directions you can take. There are the pet shops where you may find one or two Beagle puppies for sale and then there are the “puppy mill” breeders who will have dozens and dozens of puppies available for purchase. Neither of these may be the best option for you.

Puppy mills are well known for the lack of care or concern for their animals as they only care about the bottom line, which is profit. Puppies that come from such places often end up with physical or emotional issues that may be hard on your family’s heart and bank account. And pet shops do not generally know a lot about where they puppy originally came from but they are often well cared for once in the shop. So you may actually want to check your local paper for small time breeder who may have more knowledge and love for these puppies then the other options.

While it is a business for some, it is important that when you are trying to find a Beagle puppy to purchase, that you are dealing only with those who love the breed and have a wealth of knowledge to share with others. This is a good indication that the puppies have been treated properly and that you will have a better chance at a long and happy life with your new puppy.

Start talking with other Beagle owners and through word of mouth advertising, you can often learn a lot about where to go and where not to go when looking for Beagle puppies for sale. And if the environment doesn’t feel right, it is best to keep looking. There are many breeders around if you look hard enough. The last thing you want is to bring home a puppy you know nothing about and they end up having problems because of abuse from the breeder.

I just started working as a pet sitter/dog walker for a pet care company and I am paid 45-50% of the total charge of each sit/walk. I have heard that 70-80% is the norm. Am I getting ripped off?
Well, duh, Bonnie. That’s why I’m trying to find out if I should be getting paid more- so I can decide to quit or not.

I am a dog walker at a shelter, and in light of the summer job crisis in Michigan, I was thinking about charging my neighbors to do some basic things for their dogs. I was thinking offering walking, brushing, and I dunno.. I’m not a professional trainer so I won’t say that, but I can play with them and work on manners. I need to figure out what, with my limited qualifications (experience but no certifications) I can ethically offer, and what is reasonable to charge. Any suggestions?

I am trying to train my puppy using a litter box with “puppy training pads” in it. I recognize his signs of having to go, sniffing, circling, squatting, etc., but when I bring him to the litter box with the pads, he gets very nervous and squirms and tries to jump out. It takes forever for him to **** in it. I am rewarding him, but I don’t think it is working. Any tips?

I have a veterinary technician associate degree plus a diploma in dog obedience, and 2 animal care certificates one for dog care and one for cat care. I would really like to open a big facility for pet care in Pasadena CA. What licenses do I need. I am also planning to have a vet to be there all the time for emergencies.

My boyfriend and I are thinking of getting a new puppy (like tomorrow) and we just wanted to know about how much time every day needs to be devoted to caring for the puppy? I work 8hours/6days and he goes to school full-time and works part-time. We’re home in the evenings and don’t travel. I just don’t want the puppy to get depressed or destructive. Is it really okay to leave it in a crate (with blankets, food, waters, etc.) during the day? I don’t want to get a dog and then have it be unhappy.
