I wasn't sure that dog clothes actually had a history to them until I started researching the topic and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was more information than I expected. The History of dog clothes starts around 520 B.C when medieval men going to battle would dress their horses and war dogs in garments to protect the animals skin in the time of war. This is what led to the manufacturing of dog apparel and modern day clothing for dogs. Today we carry on the tradition of using apparel to protect our working dogs and pets.
What would happen to Police K9's who didn't wear their bullet proof vests? Or our beloved Service Dogs who guide the blind and wear their vests as helpful signs to let the public know they are doing their job?
Some of our small dogs and pets of today need an extra layer in the cold winter months. For example: The Chinese Crested a Hairless Dog Breed, appreciates the warmth and comfort of modern dog apparel. There are many forms of dog clothes including Doggy Raincoats, Knitted Sweaters, Costumes for Holidays, Comfortable Harnesses for dogs who can't wear collars and soft Cotton Dog T-shirts for any breed to either amuse their owners and guests with their funny designs or warn the public not to feed a working therapy dog.
In owning a Therapy Dog, I have discovered that patients in hospitals and nursing home residents all seem to light up with joy when my dog is either wearing a silly costume or wearing a funny hat. Hats have become a popular accessory to dog clothes and are used in therapy work to lift the spirit of the patient. After all, what is the purpose of therapy work if you can't make a difference in someone's life and change their mood to help them heal!
For whatever reason you dress your dog, dog clothes started out with a purpose and have a long tradition of protecting the canine from harm. So don't feel silly if you have a seperate closet of doggie apparel for your pooch. It is a necessary tradition!

The key to having a dog pet that is enjoyable and fun is proper dog training. Most people think that dog training is teaching it how to do dumb tricks and competition exercises. Dog obedience training is teaching a dog to understand and do what it is told to do. The most critical aspect in nurturing a dog-human relationship is training a dog to be obedient. Training a dog to conduct itself in an acceptable manner both at home and outside is also the best way to detect, prevent and get rid of any behavioral problems that most dog owners face. Make your doggy happy and well balanced socially by following these simple Dog obedience training tips.
Tip 1: Set the training rules and make sure that you repeat them frequent and long enough for the dog to comprehend. The greatest characteristic of a dog trainer is repetition. You should therefore not tell him a rule only once and expect him to grasp it automatically.
Tip 2: You are the boss at all times and you must make sure that the dog knows that. By nature, a dog will try to train you to accept its behavior and communication, the key to successfully train a dog is making it understand that it is the students and you the trainer not the other way round.
Tip 3: Give clear and consistent communication signs throughout its training. Make it clear which of its behaviors are acceptable and which are not tolerable. Doing this will set very distinct guidelines for him.
Tip 4: Constantly evaluate your progress to make sure that you are impacting positively on the dog's obedience. If you find some stubbornness, investigate and find the root cause of it and the proper way to handle it.
Tip 5: Reward the dog only at the right times during the training. If you reward the dog at the wrong time, it will understand the actions preceding the reward as the acceptable conduct which is not the case. If a dog takes an instruction and learns something new, you can choose to reward him either by playing with it its favorite game or giving it something it likes.
Tip 6: There should be only one trainer at a time during a training period. Having more than one trainer at a time will send confusing instructions and lessons to the dog. However, after the training session, different people can test the dog's grasp.
Tip 7: Patience when training a dog is a very vital virtue. If you are training a dog and it doesn't seem to respond, do not get angry or try underhand shortcut tactics because his will only worsen the situation. All dogs can learn it is just that each dog, just like humans, have different ways to understand things.
There are different flavors of dog obedience programs, ranging from basic "Sit" and "fetch" instructions to complex dog show behavior training. Dog obedience is not a science that should be left exclusively to the professionals. Follow these simple dog obedience training tips to train your dog well and not only will it strengthen your relationship, it will also be a lot of fun spending time with it.
