Welcome to another edition of the Puppy In Training Blog Carnival. We have several great articles in this edition. It seems like we’ve got everything for the dog lover in this carnival from a cantaloupe eating Malamute, dog training tips, even some great puppy t-shirt artwork

On with the blog carnival!

Blog Carnival #7

One of the reasons I love hosting the Puppy In Training Blog Carnival is it introduces me to many new blogs and website that I never would have discovered on my own. One of those sites is Carl Jagt’s Saturday Morning Tee of the Week. I’m going to assume that the Saturday Morning part of the title has something to do with Saturday Morning cartoons? Hopefully Carl will chime in and explain the motivation for his site title. Robot VS Puppy is an adorable concept for a t-shirt..I’m actually considering purchasing a few shirts for my dog lover friends. BONUS Material: after the image there’s entire write up explaining the inspiration for the drawing. If you want to check out the adorable image plus other great t-shirt concepts visit Carl Jagt’s Saturday Morning Tee of the Week.

Article #2 is our cantaloupe eating Alaskan Malamute starring in I May Be Housing A Fugitive. Written in a news story style you have to check out the damage this Alaskan Malamute did to an unsuspecting cantaloupe that was sitting on the counter. It reminds me of my little Puppy In Training, Derby who is a master at picking things up of the ground, couch, and tables. We’re working on it and he kind of understands the words “Drop It”

Our third article comes from a familiar site the Training Fido blog. This week’s article is about clicker training: Clicker Train Fido to Sit. This article is a great introduction to clicker training and gives you the basics on what clicker training is and how to get started. We worked on clicker training for a short period of time with Linus. His first trainer wasn’t that into clicker training, but she gave us an introduction and the concept of the training technique.

If you’re reading titles then it’s fairly self explanatory what the Dog Training Step-by-Step blog is about. This weeks article is very helpful indeed and is titled Don’t let Fido Pull You. This is something I’m constantly working on in dog obedience class. It seems like some dogs like to pull while others don’t want to walk at all.

How Pet Owner’s Can Deal With Dog Aggression is a great article on…you guessed it how to curb dog aggression.  One thing I’d like to point out in this article is “Start Early”  This is good advice and it’s important to expose your puppy to different environments, people, and situations at an early age, but you must also be careful that you do not over expose your puppy.  Make sure all of your activities are age appropriate for your puppy.

This is the exact question I was asking before I picked up Linus from the animal shelter… Finding A Reputable Dog Breeder. Technically it’s not a question, but you understand. This article gives you 8 questions you should be asking any breeder before buying a puppy. After reading this article you will definitely have a good idea of how to find a good breeder.
