The only way to keep up with the latest about "Dog Care" and dog training is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about "Dog Care" and dog training, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.

Dogs have always been called man's best friend. However, we all know how best friends are made. People who arrive at being best friends go through a lot of conflicts and troubles before they understand each other enough to stand on a common ground. A dog and a human being are no different, especially with them being poles apart in language and origin. If you want your dog to truly be your best friend, then you are going to have to train it.

Dog care - To get started, think of your dog as your child. I know it might sound strange, but I'm serious here. You see, a child needs to be trained well to be able to grow up and function effectively as a productive member of the society. Can you imagine what you would have on your hands if you fail to train your child? A wild rebellious teenager! A dog is pretty much the same when it isn't trained properly. It can be infuriating to have a dog that does not seem to care about a single thing you do or say.

Dog care and training are processes that binds you and your dog. Without it, there would be no sense in having a dog. The fact that you are a human being and your dog is a dog automatically demands dog training. Both you and your dog speak different languages. Your dog is not a verbal creature but you are. Without dog care and training, you will be unable to communicate your needs and desires to your dogs and your dog will be unable to understand you too.

How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything about your knowledge of "Dog Care" and dog training Dog care and training are much for your benefit as it is for your dog because you get to learn the best way to read your dog's non-verbal signals and teach it to understand your own verbal messages. Without dog training, both you and your dog will practically have your wires crossed!

Apart from the fact that dog care and training helps both you and your dog understand each other, it also helps to bring out the best in your dog. Dog training helps to enhance a dog's innate abilities and makes it a better dog. In essence, dog care and training enables you to enjoy your dog to a considerable extent and for your dog to enjoy you as well. It also helps you find that common ground with your dog that fosters the best of relationships between man and dog is dog care.

While the #DogDays are technically over, that won't stop us from sharing this very good dog today!

The phrase "dog days" comes from this astronomical puppy Canicula, also known as Sirius. These lazy, hazy days of summer coincide with the rising of the Sirius star system alongside the sun.

Canicula, Orion's dog, is said to be chasing Lepus, the hare, across the night sky. That makes us think that perhaps we would rename Lepus Bunnicula.

Canicula from: John Seller, Atlas Coelestis (London, 1677).
