Effective Dog Training by Using Collar and Leash

• Your home owners insurance tells you if you can even have certain breeds of dogs. I have had to pay extra on my insurance so I can have my breed of choice. (Rottweiler) If an individual is bitten on your property you are responsible regardless of how or why the person was bitten. So therefore really think about why you're getting a dog. Your insurance company will have to be notified for your own protection.


• There's really no such thing as redistricting a dog as a guard dog. If your dog is taught to bite on command you need to up your insurance because you would be sued.
