Learn how to be the best doggie owner. Here are 7 tips!

Visit the Vet Regularly
You knew this one was coming! That's because it's one of the most important commitments responsible dog owners make.

Get Moving
Speaking of exercise, the best dog owners respect how important it is to their canines' health. Different dogs have different exercise needs.

Invest in a Microchip
How amazing is it that something the size of a grain of rice can help bring your dog back to you if he gets lost? Tags and collars can fall off, so take advantage of the extra measure of insurance that a microchip offers.

Brush Up on Training
Whether you'd like to change the tableside begging that you've let linger a little too long, or you just want to teach your pup a cool trick to impress the dog park crowd, make time for training.

Enrich His World
Speaking of things that are great for your dog's mind, behavioral enrichment is sometimes a well-kept secret among dog lovers. Behavioral enrichment doesn't need to be fancy or expensive — it's just about changing up your canine's routine in a way that challenges his brain and senses.

Practice Preventive Care
Being proactive about keeping your dog healthy by doing things like brushing his teeth, giving him parasite preventives and keeping up with daily exercise can help protect his overall health.

Learn to Speak His Language
We're not talking about barks and howls — we mean learning to read your dog's body language, which might be trickier than it sounds.
