For the first time dog owner…
I have not grown up with pets around the house. When my family found Kiko close to their neighborhood I got my first taste of having a puppy to take care of. She was abandoned and nobody claimed her. We are not sure what kind of dog Kiko will turn out to be, the vet told us she is a mix of breeds. She is around three or four months old, and she is a handful. We are still working on house-breaking her.
There are a lot of different books and theories to help with training a dog, but I thought it would be a good idea to ask people who are always around dogs to share their best practices as dog owners. Being at Woofstock was a great opportunity to talk to rescue groups and dog lovers to get their input.
Check out my video log below to see what suggestions they had, and feel free to contribute any other suggestions you may have for first time or future dog owners. (Especially house-breaking tips ;))
