When it comes to dog training supplies, there is a never ending list of items. The most common dog training item is the dog collar. Here we will discuss the many types of dog collars and which may be best for your dog.

Regular dog collars come in a variety of sizes, colors and looks. From plain black to fancy designs, you can purchase a collar that sets the mood your looking for.

Collars are considered dog training supplies when a collar is used as a tool to train your dog. A simple chain collar that can be tightened is easily used by all house members when training a dog. A quick snap or pull on the collar will get your dog to stop misbehaving.

Dog training collars can be a life saver for some. These shock collars can provide you with the tool necessary to train your dog. When your dog misbehaves you simple touch a button on the collar which gives out a sensation that the dog finds unpleasant. The dog will soon associate the unpleasant feeling with the misbehavior. These dog training supplies are available online and at local dog supply shops. Purchase one that can be set to a low shock wave, just enough to make it uncomfortable for your dog and not hurt him.

Another type of dog training collar is an electronic collar that gives off an unpleasant sound wave. This has the same effect as the shock collar but without physically shocking the dog. These come in all sizes, whether your dog is small or large, there is a collar that will suit your dogs needs.

Dog training supplies also include no-bark collars. These are set to give a small shock whenever the dog barks. Teaching your dog with dog training collars can make your dog training efforts much easier and more efficient.

You know, as I think on training things more, something comes to mind. Sometimes you have to wonder who is training whom? Afterall, as we humans are trying to train our canine companions to comply with "house rules" about keeping the "den" clean (i.e., going outside to potty), we find we have to learn things as well.

For example, when puppy is only 8 weeks old, you have to learn to watch her to see when she's getting ready to relieve herself so you can hustle her outdoors and start teaching her that is the proper place to go. Usually, if a puppy has her nose to the ground for more than a couple of seconds, that is one of the signals that she's hunting a place.

You probably already know that puppies cannot go more than an hour of busy playing without needing to relieve themselves. So, you start watching carefully and take the furry child out when she starts to look around for a good place.

Between three and four months old, puppy begins to gain some control of bowel and bladder and you two have begun to agree on a signal that outside is a good idea. The people that will tell you their puppy was perfectly house-trained sooner, are perfectly trained themselves. I'm not saying that's bad, just that it's so.

Eventually, the lesson will sink in with the dog, but then, you run into the dog teaching you her signal for needing to go outside. My Jack Russell mix will go to the door and bark once, then jump up at the door. If I don't notice, she'll repeat it until I do.

My Border Terrier, on the other hand, has a much more subtle signal. He'll come and stand by my chair. At first, I thought it was his way of telling me he wanted attention or scratching. He would stand there facing more or less away from me, but near enough to be petted. He finally trained me to understand that is his way of asking to go outside. As a secondary method, he's managed to teach the JR mix to bark like she has to go out, but then, when I respond, it's him that has to go, not her. She'll back away from the door.

My "heart dog," a full-blooded Jack Russell Terrier, used to trot between me and the door. The more imperative that she go out, the faster the trips. She'd come and look at me, then trot to the door. Come back and look, then to the door, until I got the hint.

Now, you can modify this behavior to some extent by encouraging a particular signal be used. Scratch at the door, ring a bell you've hung from the door, come and place a paw on your arm, just about anything that will get you up out of your chair to let her out. Perhaps it's a certain tone to the bark--a rather high-pitched yip? Maybe it's that breathy whine with the mournful look?

The upshot is, to be able to teach your dog a signal you decide on for this particular behavior and need, you first must learn what the dog's signal is indicating the need. So, who is training whom?

It is important that anyone who is thinking about becoming the owner of a Pit Bull learn about the breed before making the final decision. Pit Bulls need owners that can provide them with lots of love and attention, and keep doing it forever. They need to be trained well in order for them to make a great pet. Pit Bulls have a lot of energy and can be very headstrong, but with the proper training learn to deal with this and become very loving, devoted pets to their owners. One thing that makes training Pit Bulls easier is that in general, they are a highly intelligent breed of dog, and tend to catch on quick.

When training your Pit Bull, it is important to remember that they can be very stubborn and hard to deal with at times. You have to keep in mind that your Pit Bull has a mind of its own, and that it may not always behave as you would like him to. Owners have to be patient when this happens, and try very get annoyed with their pet. Training tends to go smoother when started at an early age, many recommend beginning when the puppy is around eight weeks old for best results. At any age, you will have better results if you make training fun, and keep a positive attitude toward your pet.

You should make socialization a big part of your daily training routine. This helps the Pit Bull learn to control his aggression when around people and other dogs. If you can sign your Pit Bull up for training classes, he will also get socialization with other dogs while he is learning other things.

Expect a battle for supremacy with your pit at around thirteen to sixteen weeks of age. He will start to see how far he can push you, and will really start pushing his limits to see how far he can go. This is the time that he may also begin to try to bite or nibble on you during play. It is very important that you assert that you are the owner during this time, so that he knows who is boss and learns to respect that.

When owners devote time and effort into properly training their pits, in the end they will have very friendly dogs that love their family very much. Pit Bulls love to be around people and be the center of attention, and with the right owners are great pets. Just remember that when training you pit, it is necessary to be strong and stay consistent.
