Nowadays, it has become a kind of fashion to keep pets, especially pet dogs. Many celebrities have their own dogs, such as Paris Hilton, Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom. When you are buying a dog for the first time, you might think owning a dog is simply about getting a dog, feeding it, and loving it, actually, bringing a dog home is just the beginning of the process of converting a predominantly wild animal into a pet. There’s a lot to do.

A dog, like human beings, needs a certain amount of foods, gets to drink fresh and clean water and exercises. If your dog is the one with long hair, he needs regular baths to keep himself clean and disease free. Next don’t forget dog’s bed, many people choose to let their dogs sleep with them under the covers at night. There’s nothing wrong with that. But what if your dog wants to sleep in the room where you are working, watching television or doing other things? Providing beds for their dogs is a good way to solve this, and dogs have their own places to go when it wants to take a nap or simply get some privacy and be alone for a while. And dogs need outdoor exercises, you can’t forget the leash and collar. You need to make sure it has something to wear around its neck, which will contain its identification charm and have a place to latch its leash onto when you’re ready to take it for a walk. If you want to go out shopping with your puppy dog, you can choose dog carriers. It’s really hot trends around if you take a notice.

Dogs are quite docile and can easily be turned into a faithful and dependable pet but that needs a little bit of patience and a considerable amount of tact. An untrained dog can really be a bad pet. You must be careful while training that you teach him the right commands to obey without being too harsh on him. At the same time one must not be too light, for that could make the dog take training less seriously than he should. Dogs learn to obey easily and they are easy to train because of their natural urge to please the owner. Be affectionate to your dog at all the times, for nothing works better than strenuous training mixed with a little bit of love. That's the magic potion that fails almost never.
