Tips for Owning a Dog

Hi this is Ryan Gwilliam with expert village and I'm gonna teach you two very important things for any dog owner. First of all is that your dog needs at least an hour of exercise every day. As I taught you in one of the clips to walk your dog with a back pack, if you do that, your dogs getting probably double the exercise for the same amount of work. So, at least forty five minutes if your gonna use a backpack, an hour if your not and just like humans need to get up and work everyday, fish need to swim every day, dogs need to walk everyday. That's what they would be doing in the wild and it's very frustrating to them to be locked behind closed doors all day. If I was locked behind doors all day I would probably develop some serious disorders as well. So, we've got to treat them with the same respect as we do ourselves and give them the proper amount of exercise. Another important thing to know is that it's not the breed of dog that is gonna create bad behaviors, it's not the dog himself, it's the owner of the dog. As you see I have two pit bulls that normally get a pretty bad rap, but as you can see they are very calm and loving dogs. So, if you really want to have dogs that behave, then you need to search out the information that is necessary to have this type of dog. It is your responsibility and any problems that your dog may have, any misbehaviors that your dog has is your fault, not the dogs. So, don't blame them, don't get mad at them. You need to find the answer and fix it yourself.
