The other name of the Canaan dog is Kelev K’naani.

Appearance
A Canaan Dog appears to be typically like that of a pariah dog. They have a mediocre size. Their head is wedge shaped. Their ears are low and erect with rounded tips and a broad base. They have a dense and harsh outer coat. Their undercoat is profuse and close based on the season. They are available in different colors like red and brown. Generally they have white markings on their bodies. Their height ranges between 20 to 24 inches. They have a body weight which varies between 18 to 25 kg. Moreover, the height and weight of the male and female breeds of this dog differs significantly.

Temperament
The survival instinct of Canaan dogs is very strong. They react very strongly by barking when they see strangers. Therefore they are good as watch dogs. They do not have an aggressive nature & quite good with kids. These dogs are quite intelligent and quick learners.

History
The Canaan dog originated in the past as parish dog in the country called Israel. It is a member of the spitz family.

Miscellaneous
This dog originated a long time back and its presence is written in the pages of Bible. The Hayonim and Einan Caves are those areas where remains of these dogs were found.

Behavior/Obedience Problems and Solutions

Keep in mind, behavior/obedience problems can happen with any breed of dog. They may be experiencing problems because the dog is just young, or has been trained poorly or abused. It is important to identify these behaviors and then address them.

Did you know social confusion is one reason that a dog might act out. Dogs think about their human families as their pack. So, it is important that your dog realizes that he is at the bottom of the pecking order. While this may seem strange or harsh, remember that submissive pack members will do what the more dominant members say. Period.

That means you, the Dog Parent, must learn how to train your dog or puppy, so you, your kids and your dog have the best life possible.   Why?   Because we all want to be respected by other dog owners as someone who takes great care of their dog.   However, there are tons of “so-called dog training” products on the market.  Trust me, I have tried them all.  However, one continues to rise above the rest - Secrets to Dog Training.

There’s an impressive amount of information packed into this guide. It’s not just the problem behaviors that are discussed.  The book starts off with new dog owner advice (how to choose a puppy or dog, the best places to get your dog from, breed information, puppy and/or dog proofing your home, the first veterenarian visit, housetraining and more).   If you are looking for more advance info it covers:   behavioral problems (such as aggression, dominance, chewing, digging, excessive barking, separation anxiety), intermediate-level obedience commands, health-related dog problems (allergies, cat/dog coexistence, fleas, heatstroke), and advanced commands and tricks. There is also an impressive section on dog whispering.

Daniel Stevens explains the background of the technique, how to utilize voice and body language to your best advantage, and how to use the technique to calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog or puppy. Step-by-step instructions are included for basic commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet).

I Love Free Stuff – Don’t You?

You also get a handful of freebies: four bonus books, dealing with advanced housetrainingincluding both the crate- and paper-training methods; a detailed examination on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work – even if that means just protecting the family home.

My favorite freebie: a personalized consultation with a member of the Kingdom of Pets team. If you’ve got an issue with your dog that you’d like some individual attention on, you can send them a quick email and receive a personalized, thorough reply packed with expert advice and practical tips. Now that’s service!

I have no qualms in recommending the Secrets to Dog Training package to anyone who owns, or is thinking about owning, a dog. You don’t need to have a “problem pet” for the book to be of assistance: there’s information included that can be useful to any and all dog owners.

From personal experience, the only other thing I would do is upgrade to the Secrets to Dog Training premium version because it has an online video series that is excellent as well as software which allows you to keep track of all the necessary and important details about your dog such as medical history, vaccinations, operations, appointments, obedience training, and much more.

In a nutshell: highly recommended
