FOOD Your pup or wise old man will probably live longer then his or her grandfather or mother. This is because of the food they eat. Good food for dogs are milk, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, green vegetables, and fruit. |

Your dog will need calcium and vitamins to stay healthy. The meat you give them could be cooked or raw. Don't feed them too much fat unless it is in the winter. Never feed them turkey chicken, or chop bones. Also not much starch. |

Check with your vet for the amounts. Your dog shouldn't have potatoes, and you can't feed them just table scraps. Fine cut carrots are healthy for a dog also. An older dog will eat grass. This will clean their digestive system |

Commands When commanding to your dog don't command in long sentences. Make them short. Examples like sit, come, stay, out, down, good, and bad. Also when speaking use actions.
