Dog Doors
Dog doors, often referred to as doggie doors or pet doors, are miniature swinging doors that are installed in a door or wall. They allow your dog or cat to access the backyard without someone to let them in and out. A dog door helps your dog reach the outside world quicker. A dog door also solves the problem of scratched wooden doors or torn plastic screens.
There are many different sizes of dog doors.
They are available in all sizes and are designed for traditional wooden doors as well as sliding glass doors. There are some dog doors that have magnetic and electric doors which are triggered open by a key which hangs from your dog's collar.
The key to finding the right dog door is to first measure your dog's height and width. Then determine which door in the house you would like to designate the dog door for. Next, consider how much you would like to spend on a dog door.
A dog door can be installed by cutting a square hole through the door or wall. Most door models come with a template and instructions. A facing and backing frame slide into each other through the hole, creating a step-through where the flap hangs. While placing the template on the wall or door, take into account how tall your pet is. Your pet should be able to step through easily and naturally by just lowering its head to push the door open.
There are also specialty dog doors that are spring-loaded, installed without tools and easily removable.
Most dog doors are very inexpensive. A spring-fitted tall glass or acrylic pane with aluminum frame dog door runs about $200.
As so many of you have discovered, a dog door is the answer to the annoying problem of being on door duty 24 hours a day. Your dog is free to come and go, and you may forget the messy litter trays, ruined carpets, scratched doors and night time trips to let your dog out.

Dog Training Basics - It?s A Snap!
Okay so dog training basics, well there is a lot to say but I will attempt to keep it brief.
During my recent research into training my dog I found some every interesting information about dog training.
First of all it seems to be a generally accepted fact that a trained dog is a happy dog.
Apparently dogs are like children in this way and crave rules and boundaries in the family unit.
They like to know their place and what they are and are not allowed to do.
This I found interesting, especially when this information was followed up with the information that much like children, dogs will test their boundaries with you to see what they can get away.
I guess this makes sense when you think about it, especially when you realize that your dog actually does test your boundaries even after you have had him for 13 years.
Each time you let him out he will run to the edge of where he is allowed to go and then look back...

How To Train A Dog To Stay
In this article I want to explain how to get your dog to stay. Most of the time, when you get up to leave out of a room, your dog will want to follow, especially if they're energetic. Sometimes you will want them to stay in one place.
The first thing you want to do is get a supply of dog treats. Take your dog into a quiet room and have him sit down. Hold out the dog treat in your hand, letting the dog know that you have it.
When the dog tries to take the treat, close your hand. Your dog should then pull his head back. When he does this, praise him and give him the treat.
Timing is very important for training your dog to stay. Repeat the process again. Keep doing it until the dog doesn't go for the treat, and instead pulls back immediately.
After the dog is consistenly pulling back each time you hold out the treat, you want to begin the next stage of the process.
Repeat the first step again, but wait two seconds after your dog...

Training Your German Shepherd Dog
The German Shepherd Dog truly is a wonderful animal and not only do they make good working dogs, they also make superb family pets. They are however very different from other pet breeds and need to be handled and trained with a different approach to say your average labrador or poodle for instance.
The GSD is a large, strong athletic dog, which needs a lot of mental stimulation and exercise but a well trained shepherd can learn to do almost anything. These dogs positively thrive on challenging activities and they are so willing to serve their master and please. As a working dog used by most police forces, the very look of a GSD is usually enough to act as a deterrent but when called into action there are few dogs that can match the German Shepherd as an all rounder.
If you are considering becoming an owner of a GSD then you need to consider the commitment to training in order that you have happy, well...
