How do I train my dog to stay out of my way as I walk around the house?
Dot is a 5 year old mutt that I've had for four years. She was listed as a Basenji mix at the pound when I adopted her, but she looks exactly like a Canaan which is similar. The description on AKCs website almost fits her to a tee.
Dot is constantly under my feet. Both of the breeds I mentioned are herding dogs and I wonder if she is constantly trying to herd me toward the Treat Jar. Do you have any tips or suggestions to keep her out of my way? Every time I walk from one end of the house to the other, I have to travel at a snail's pace because she is slowly walking backward or hopping around directly in front of me. I'd love to be able to walk around without her in the way. She acts very young even though she's 5 and often shows puppy like behavior like rear up, front paws down while she is underfoot.
Haha, I had the same problem with my dog.. he would always run in between my legs.. but he was a chiuahua and would get stepped on or I would trip and fall trying to avoid stepping on him. I gave him a designated space in the house and everytime I saw him follow me, I would tell him to go to his spot. He was only allowed to be with me when I was already sitting down and we're not in eachother's way. He learned slowly but surely not to run into my legs.

Getting A Puppy For Your Family
Today a lot of people have dogs in their household and a lot of people who have never had a dog before decide to buy a puppy to join their family. Buying a puppy can really change the lives of all the members of your family and especially children will have a lot of childhood memories of the dogs in your household when they grow up.
Dogs will stay loyal to you no matter what and are extremely compassionate creatures. When a dog is raised correctly and knows its boundaries it can be one of your best friends and really become a beloved part of your family. It is very important to train your new puppy properly so you minimize the misunderstanding you are going to have and in this way improve both the life quality of your dog and yourself.
When first starting your search for your new puppy there are a couple of things you should consider. First of all you want to consider whether there are some things you should pay special attention to like for example if you have small children, older people or people with a handicap in your household. You also want to consider the size of your house and whether you live in an area where your dog can be very active.
The next thing you want to pay attention to is whether you just want a dog as a companion for your family or you actually have a intended goal for getting a dog like, guarding your house, getting a work dog, a hunt dog etc.
Once you have figured out all of these things you can start your search and find the dog that will fit your needs the best. It is important to be realistic and not get a dog that takes a lot of training and discipline if you are a first time dog owner. Unless of course you are willing to put in the time to train your dog properly and go to a dog training school a couple of times.
By being realistic in evaluating your experience level with dogs and how much time you have to train your new puppy you will make sure that you buy the perfect breed that fits your needs to a tee.
This will lead to both you and your puppy having a really happy and wonderful life in harmony with everyone else in the household.
