The thing about proper dog training is that the more you know, the more you can use towards training your dog. If you have gotten a new dog or puppy, you should work on training them right away. If they are going to be indoor dogs, you can start crate training them . This prevents bathroom accidents or your items being chewed on. Start off with the right sized crate, so that they have enough room in the crate to move around a bit.

If you are trying to crate train your dog or puppy you must understand that you can not expect them to be able to hold their bladders for extremely long periods. You must provide times for them to go to the bathroom. They don’t want to go in their special place. So it is up to you to take care of them. If they have a accident don’t get mad at them, it wasn’t their fault it was yours.

When teaching your dog discipline, regardless of what training method you use, you should always apply it with speed and consistency. Not correcting your dog for bad behavior every single time, sends him mixed signals that may only make the problem worse. Likewise, not correcting your dog immediately, may make it hard for him to understand why you are punishing him.

For 20 years I have used Neem bark powder, about half a teaspoon every other day on their food and Neem oil, which I put on about once a week on their coat, after brushing a small amount in your hand and rub through their coats, in that 20 years I have NEVER had ticks, worms, fleas and for many years my dogs worked sheep and encountered hundreds of dogs a week in shelters, shows and dog training classes

A couple of Brewers yeast tablets are good and 1 garlic pearl oil daily also gives them all the vits, minerals and trace elements required and does 'help' protect them, but I have to say neem is much better

Peppermint oil a wee drop on the back of their neck.

If they do get a tick, vodka is a great way to get them out. Soak a cotton ball in the vodka and hold it over the tick for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Should pop right off.

I've heard brewers yeast can help repel certain biting insects like fleas. Not so sure about ticks, but you could give it a try.

Apparently brewers yeast causes the dogs blood to become bitter and the smell of the brewers yeast in the skin can also deter insects.

Another bonus? it's good for your dogs skin. You can about brewers yeast here: http://www.vetinfo.com/the-benefits-of-brewers-yea...

Take some vineger and basil and mix it in a spray bottle... spray it on you and no bug will come near you, not even flies, or mosquitos or ticks or bees.... nothing. It's great for camping and hiking too... true.
