Entry: Effective Management of Your Dog - A2192456
Author: handsprings - U536213

I think I just have to clarify some things, but I don't know what would be most helpful for me to clarify!

Hello handsprings

I like this: a good topic and a good start.

It's a bit short: perhaps spell out the benefits of exercise to the dog, not just in terms of behaviour, but because they are hunting animals and need heaps of exercise, health benefits etc, not simply because it stops them ripping your house to pieces?

I think the title's a bit misleading, since the entry's all about exercising your dog. Rename 'Exercising your Dog'? If it's about management, then you need to discuss more than just exercise - like discipline, food, obedience, tlc, etc

, and are repeated a lot. Many of them could come out and not detract from the flow of the text.

Hi handsprings!

I liked this too. I'm considering getting a dog in the near future and you've put in lots of good advice...but is there more you can say?

For example - what's the best way to socialise a puppy? Are there aspects of general dog health that an owner should be looking out for, other than exercise? Do dogs get depressed?

Looking forward to more!
