New tips pages added about housebreaking and another about selecting a dog training leash
I am continuously adding new content to our network of websites. On 7/22/10 added a page about the dog training leash and how to select the right dog training leash for you
On 8/3/10 I added a new housebreaking potty training article to the 101 dog training tips website that is the first part of a housebreaking and potty training series
We have also become Dogster recommend as a great resource for dog behavior and training information. The dogster badge is on our new Awards page.
In the past I have always turned down awards. However since I have started playing with Google adwords to pay for content creation I have decides to start accepting badges and awards. Creating quality content does require a good deal of time and effort it seems only fair that I should get a little something, don’t you agree?
We have resumed displaying listings for other dog trainers in our dog trainers’ directory. So if you are outside the area I serve check out the directory for a dog trainer near you. If you know of a dog trainer who would like to be included have them fill out the form and I will review their information
I have been writing a blog at the RenChenZa site for several weeks. When that series is finished I will be more active on this blog and the 101-dog-training-tips.com website
Wishing you the best in dog training and in life,
Andrew Ledford.

Here is part of my response to an inquiry I got in an email about getting a leather leash for a small dog
“Along with a leather leash I recommend that you get an inexpensive nylon or cotton leash to let the dog wear in the house. I would not let a dog I’m training wear its leather leash around the house.
I usually use a six foot leather training leash and I would suggest getting a leash that is about a half inch wide. However, with a very small dog you may prefer getting a one quarter inch wide leash instead.
Thank you for contacting me,

Dear Mr. Ledford,
My husband and I can’t seem to get our 9 month old standard poodle to stop chewing up everything in sight.
We have chew toys for him and rawhides also which he loves but he still chews up everything. Please hep us if you can. Desperate on Cape Cod.

Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. You are on the right track. Providing chew toys is the right way to start correcting this problem. Next you need to make those toys more significant to your dog. You may want to do this with formal games of retrieve.
