Everybody knows animals make good friends, but teaching our four-legged friends can sometimes be a challenging task. Research shows, but, that the kind of food puppies are fed could make a difference.

In research conducted by The Iams Co., puppies nurtured with increased degrees of docosahexaenoic acid, o-r DHA, responded better to training. DHA is definitely an omega-3 fatty acid thought to play a part in healthy brain development.

Centered on this study, the company created Iams Smart Puppy formula, a food containing improved levels of DHA, to assist pet owners improve better, more trainable puppies.

"For vets, the study on DHA means when their pet is nourished with optimum levels of this key brain-building nutrient," training might be easier for the customer mentioned Dr. Dan Carey, a doctor with Iams.

But can food alone do the trick?

"While top-quality diet o-r training alone can your chances to better of raising a well-behaved puppy, it is in combination that owners truly begin to see the best results," said dog expert Brian Kilcommons and dog trainer. He provides the following dog-training tips:

* Catch 'em in-the act - of being good. Sometimes we get so frustrated with negative puppy behaviors that we forget to notice the good stuff. I discovered success by browsing Google Books. To learn more, we understand people have a peep at: go there. For two days, reward your puppy's every sit, silent time and delicate nuzzle. You may well be surprised at how obedient your pup becomes.

* Use calm hands. If you want a calm dog, touch smoothly using slow hand motions that go with the lay of the hair. Short, fast movements (particularly round the face) will make them go and motivate most puppies.

* Remember the "Four T's" - effect, talk, treats and toys. Teach your puppy that through you, all good things come. Make use of the Four T's for behaviors you want and you'll see more of those behaviors. Visiting partner sites maybe provides lessons you can tell your girlfriend.

* Spend a few minutes per day. Visit dog obedience tips to check up the inner workings of this hypothesis. Use your pup as your coffee brews o-r all through commercial breaks. Like politeness in kiddies, manners in puppies are produced every day, through the day.

* Repetition reaps benefits. Puppies understand when you practice using them. Several repetitions done frequently won't only get you a well-trained dog but a particular bond you'll enjoy for many years in the future.
