If you are like most dog owners, you laid your eyes on your dog and simply knew it was the one. He looked up at you with those adorable eyes. And there was no way not to take him home with you.
Often dog owners remember feeling an instant connection to this one dog. This special bond will also be very powerful when it comes to the communication between dog and dog owner. Many a time, your dog will have a certain need, and simply by looking at him, you will intuitively know what it is.
This almost intuitive understanding of what your dog needs, is based on reading your dog’s body language like his wagging his tail or jumping up on people.
Of course, if you want to make it a conscious process to read your dog’s body language, you will need to know what to look for.

What could be more exciting than bringing home a new puppy? Everyone is looking forward to it, and you simply feel like you can’t wait. You know you will have tons of fun with him and he’ll light up your day every day. How much better does it get?
But it is also a big responsibility, and you will need to make a lot of decisions: How do you want to go about the training of your puppy, what should he eat, and where should he sleep.
A lot of people enjoy having their dogs sleep in bed with them, while other people consider a dog in the bed a nuisance.
So, what is the right way to go about this? Well, there is no right way, really; you just have to do what feels right to you personally. If you do allow him to sleep in your bed, though, be ready for him to sleep there every night.
