Training your dog is the most important part of canine companionship. A happy dog is one who has structure and boundaries. Dogs are pack animals, and as such, they need guidance in the behavior that you expect from them. If you don't follow through in this leadership role, then the dog will naturally feel as if it is his place to do so. A dog that understands that you are the leader will naturally be easier to train.
Patience is a very important quality to posses when it comes to dog training. It might take to a child months to learn the ABC's as well as for a dog to develop a new skill. It is important to remember that each dog is different, for some it might take one class and for some more. Some dogs will be driven by treats and some by a game. It is essential to find what makes them feel good, to help them recognize that they did right. It is important to commit to the process and to make sure that everyone of the family are engaged in the process, not to provide mixed signals to the

Since the majority of dogs are wiggly, friendly, companions it's common to get into the habit of casually walking into kennels. After stepping into the kennel, a low, threatening growl is released from deep within the dog's chest. As one attempts to not convey their fear, they face the provider of this warning noticing the dog's white teeth as clear as can be. As the hound curls his lips, the hair stands erect on his back, his ears pinned to his head, and his tail tucked tightly between his legs. The continuous, unsettling growl and intense glare of his eyes is sure to rush one out of the

When she was a baby, her grandmother cares for the young one due to the fact that her mother runs away and her father is killed, leaving Janie as an orphan. Her granny cared for her up until Janie was in her mid-teens. Her nanny didn’t want to die and leave Janie to suffer, so she arranged a marriage for her with an older farmer that could hopefully take good care of her. Janie doesn’t agree with the arranged marriage but still goes for it. Janie and her new husband, Logan Kellicks, don’t have a good start in their marriage. He isn’t even into her and treats her horribly. While Janie is stuck with her selfish new husband, she meets Joe Starks, a man who is good with words. They both have an instant connection and run off with each other and marry, returning to Janie’s home town. Joe, who Janie calls Jody, owns a store in the small town. Just like her other marriage, Janie and Jody start having conflicts and are constantly fighting. She wants to leave him but isn’t able to because Jody doesn’t accept her suggestion, and is basically stuck with him. After some time, Jody gets ill.

Janie is left with Jody’s store, which she decides to sell and leave her town again. The town had seen it wrong for

You ain’t got no mo’ business wid uh plow than uh hog is got wid uh holiday! You ain’t got no business cuttin’ up no seed p’taters neither. A pretty doll-baby lak you is made to sit on de front porch and rock and fan yo’self and eat p’taters dat other folks plant just special for you” (29).

Both Henry's mother and father were English professors at a local university, but Henry’s father was also a well-known writer. As a child of two parents that seem to never be around Henry was lonely and wanted a companion. Henry wanted a dog, but his mother said a dog is not just given it has to be earned.

Later on, in the story, Henry’s father went off alone to go and pick up a special dog for Henry.

It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
