The feeling of getting a new puppy will usually rank among the top three happiest moments in your life.  But that delight can be short lived.  The first week after you bring home your new puppy can be traumatic if you are new to owning a puppy.  In this article I will give you a few puppy tips to surviving your first week and understanding puppy behavior as a new dog owner.

It would be nice to spend  some time to spend with your puppy in the beginning, especially if it is very young.  Time off from work will insure that your puppy begins to adapt well.  And, it will assist with the bonding process that can positively affect you and your dog for the rest of your lives together.

If possible, put a blanket or stuffed toy that contains the mother’s scent in with your puppy at night.  This may help to calm her.  How do you do this?  Take an item and have the breeder put it with the mother and her siblings or rub her with it.

Invest in a dog crate for your puppy.  I personally think every dog’s life with a new owner should begin with a crate.  A crate saves you in time and anxiety when dealing with potty training your puppy.  It will also preserve your furniture and belongings from detrimental behaviors that puppies are known to do.

One thing that may help is the use of a ticking clock when time to go to bed.  This will help your puppy to sleep as the ticking sound emulates the heart beating of mom and/or her siblings.
Be ready to effectively clean up accidents.  No matter how vigilant you are, accidents will happen.  I advise purchasing an enzyme removal cleaner made especially for puppy/dog mistakes.  This is essential for clean up of the visual accident and the smells that could get left behind.

Buy a bottle of bitter apple spray.  Puppies love to chew and be destructive.  This is how they investigate their world.  Bitter apple spray is an excellent prevention.

Puppy proof your home to shelter your puppy and your possessions.  Just like with crawling babies, remove all dangers at their level.  Also, always watch your puppy when out of her crate.  It only takes one time for something bad to occur.

Hopefully, these puppy tips on puppy behavior will help you survive your first week with your puppy and set the stage to a great life together.  Consistency and a watchful eye are keys to making it through this time period.

When shopping for hidden dog fences you will notice that some companies boast that they have never been reported to the Better Business Bureau.  Now grant it they may have exceptional products and services but the best dog fence in the world won’t do you any good if your dog does n0t understand how the system works.  Most companies will happily set up the fence for you and throw you an instruction book on their way out which is supposed to show you how to train your dog on the fence.  Most people don’t have a clue as to how to properly train their dog.  Any company leaving you in this situation is irresponsible.

Some companies will gladly teach your dog how to use the fence but they do not have professional dog trainers.  Anyone can claim to have the knowledge needed to fence train a dog but do they really have the credentials?  A lot damage can be done to a dog both physically and psychologically if training is not done properly. Some dogs become so damaged that they no longer want to go outside.  They are terrified of the yard and what happens to them when they cross the boundary line. These dogs suffer undue harm that could have been avoided with professional training.

At Contain-A-Pet of SEPA we decided that professional training is a important aspect of dog fence training  so we  are certified, professional dog trainers.  Your dog is a unique creature with his own traits, abilities and personality. As a professional trainer, we are able to identify what motivates your dog.  By assessing your dog’s behavior we can establish a training plan that will be effective.

You don’t have to worry about us leaving too soon before your dog understands the process as we guarantee their containment. If after one year your dog does not remain contained within the boundaries you specified, we will refund your money. We wouldn’t offer this incredible guarantee  if we weren’t certain of the successful results.

Many people don’t realize the importance of getting a complete “package” deal when purchasing a dog fencing system.  They try to take the cheapest route possible and in the process end up with a dog who doesn’t obey the boundaries or a dog that is so psychologically damaged that he doesn’t even want to go outside. They were successful in getting a good deal, but they were not successful in getting a product that worked for them or their dog.

Chaining Up Your Pet vs. Philadelphia Dog Fence

Many areas across the U.S. have changed the laws concerning tethering or chaining up dogs.  California, Texas and Nevada are just a few. Many local municipalities have outlaw chaining up dogs and the punishment can even include jail time. Times have changed and it is no longer acceptable to have a dog chained up and it is considered cruel and unusual punishment. Some areas still allow it but only between set hours.

Chained Outside Dogs

Most dogs left on chains are fed sporadically and often knock over their water dishes. They do not get the much needed interaction by their owners. Remember that dogs are pack animals and not only do they need the interaction with their pack they need it from a socialization stand point as well. Dogs kept on a chain can develop aggression or other behavioral problems.

Does Keeping a Dog Chained Up Outside Provide Protection?

There are still people out there that feel a dog chained up in the yard gives them protection against theft.  In most instances this is not the case because the burglar can get in and out without coming in contact with the dog.  A dog inside the home is 100% more likely to be a deterrent.

A Solution

Contain-A-Pet of SEPA can provide you with a safe and humane alternative to chaining up your dog. A Contain-A-Pet dog fence can give your dog the freedom it not only needs but deserves!!  Contain-A-Pet products carry a limited lifetime warranty and you also are issued a one year containment guarantee.  All training is done by a professional dog trainer not just some kid who knows how to install a dog fence.

Philadelphia Wireless Dog Fence Review – Using A Wireless Dog Fence

With technology it seems that sometimes things move too quickly. Yes, there are wireless dog fence systems on the market and they do prevent you from having to dig wires however these systems have not yet been perfected, there are many alarming issues occurring with these units that consumers need to be aware of.

It’s Hip to Be Square

Most of these units have a base unit that sends a wireless signal in an area around 180 feet in diameter.  About 90 feet each side of the wireless dog fence sending unit.  If your yard is not circular you will lose precious space. You can buy additional base units and hook them together but buyer beware that these units do no transmit through metal objects, trees, outbuilding or other structures. They even have problems if you have a hilly or low lying area. Most of the base units have to be stored indoors as they are not waterproof, thus limiting your space even further. Because the signal typically covers a portion of a neighbor’s yard, this causes problems if they have a wireless unit also and some have also complained of metal objects such as lawn chairs or other metal objects becoming charged.

The most disturbing issue with the wireless dog fence units is that they are very inconsistent, ten to twenty feet off in some situations. This is cruel and unusual punishment for a dog and can be psychological and physically damaging. You are trying to teach your dog the boundaries of the yard but regardless of where he goes he gets a correction in some situations and other times not. This causes some dog’s severe anxiety (not knowing where it is sage to go)  and they begin going to the bathroom indoors. For other it causes behavior issues such as excessive barking or aggression.

Is a Wi-Fi Pet Fence the Same as Wireless?

A new type of pet fence on the market is using radio technology yet they’re advertising makes it sound as if they are using the internet. These are wireless dog fence but there are no internet connections used with these devices. Wi Fi just makes them sound hi-tech. You get around 200 feet of coverage with these units and multiple base stations cannot be connected together. These are recommended for dogs that are twenty-five pounds or larger and the system supports a maximum of two pets. Once again there are issues with objects in the path of the signal and a lot of metal such as stud nails in your home or multiple cars on the property can cause these units to receive inferior radio signals. These units can also be inconsistent in their range.

Research

Once you do the research you will see that some companies charge an additional fee for the installation and training manuals, some have very short warranty periods and most aren’t safe for your pet. The only company in the world that guarantee’s your dog will remained contained for one year is the Contain-A-Pet. They also have a lifetime warranty on their products which also are only made in the USA. They will install the system for you and provide a PROFESSIONAL trainer to ensure the safety of your dog.
