TIP #1: MOM, I'M BORED
Dogs are a lot like children. If you don’t give them something fun to do, they will make their own fun - and often not in ways you approve of.
 
Give your dog plenty of physical and mental exercise, and you get a happier, healthier, better-behaved dog. Well-exercised dogs bark less, chew less, sleep more, and rest easier if left home alone. They are also much less likely to rummage through the trash or attack the couch cushions.
 
What about leash walks? Leash walks are great brainteasers because of all the sensory information dogs get from them, but they don’t count as aerobic exercise. Your dog needs to run, swim, or do something else that gets his heart pumping for at least 30 minutes every day.

TIP #2: BUY THE BEST DOG FOOD YOU CAN AFFORD

Good dog food generally costs more than low-quality dog food because good dog food is made with better-quality ingredients, which cost more than low-quality ingredients.

That said, the most expensive food is not necessarily the best, nor does the price always correlate precisely with a food’s quality. There are lots of low-quality foods that are sold for good-food prices, because some companies spend a ton on marketing and advertising!

There are bad, better, good, and best foods at every price level. You should have an idea of how much you are willing to spend; look for the best foods you can find at the level you can afford.

​How can you determine which foods are the good and bad ones at your price point? Check out our Twosday Training Tip over the next few weeks!
