Training is essential for dogs, and while some breeds might be easier to train than others, the truth is that teaching your pet to behave as early as possible can prevent bad behaviours from developing throughout their life.

But training calls for a lot of commitment on the part of pet parents. It calls for structure, routine, and quite a bit of time spent on trying to teach your dog new commands -- and in order for your mate not to forget them, you have to practice them regularly.

Being a dog parent means understanding your pet's needs at all times. Some dogs need as much space as possible as their energy levels might be extremely challenging to manage in an apartment or condo.  

Others, on the other hand, might be calmer and more patient, despite their size. Living in an apartment doesn't automatically equate to you getting a tiny pooch as even some of the smallest breeds can be very energetic and can become unhappy in small spaces.

In today’s article, we look at several effective training techniques that you can use to minimise your dog’s barking.

In this post, we talk about cat exploring and some simple tips on how you can start going on adventures with your feline.
