Puppy Development
Utilize Certain Words to Your Puppy for Encouragement
When you decide to have your first dog, you may feel somewhat overwhelmed. Of course if you have never before had a dog, what do you need to know to successfully turn your bute puppy dog into an extremely well behaved, happy dog? Here are a list of common concerns and tips on how to deal with them.
House Training
Puppies are extremely likeable as well as being soft and fluffly. Your intention as the pet parent, is to instruct your puppy where they can do their business.
The first step in this process is purchasing a crate. If you don’t want to have to purchase two crates, one for puppyhood and another for adulthood, get a crate that is large enough for your pet as an adult and get a separator. This will deliver a small space that is within the larger crate.
It is a good idea to keep your puppy inside the crate when you cannot be with them to play with them. Take the puppy out of the crate every hour or two and take them to the spot you want them to use for elimination.
Use a specific word to encourage elimination – business, potty, hurry up and do it, are all good choices. Once the puppy eliminates, praise him lavishly. As time goes by, you will find that you can leave your puppy out of their crate for extended periods of time.
One old wive’s tale about puppy training says to push your dog’s nose into any messes they make. But it is vital that you don’t, not only could this cause your puppy to misunderstand why you do this, but it could also boost the chances of your puppy eating his or her own waste.
Feeding your Puppy
Small puppies need to eat three times a day, in small quantities. Older puppies, from 10 weeks of age or so, eat twice a day. If your puppy hasn’t eaten in a day, call your vet.
What you will feed your puppy will all depend upon what your vet has recommended, what they may have been eating before you obtained them in addition to what your budget may be like. The higher the quality of the food you give your puppy, the healthier your puppy will be.
Look for foods that have no fillers. Avoid corn, wheat and meat meals. Check to see that there are no artificial colors. Dry food is better for dogs because it cleans their teeth to some degree. You can supplement the dry food with a couple of tablespoons of wet food if you like.
Make sure your puppy has access to clean, fresh water at all times when out of the crate.
Leash Training and Walks
As soon as you have your puppy, put a collar on her. A collar is perfect because it permits you to give your puppy a nametag plus relevant information to stop the possibility of losing your puppy, not only that, but it is also perfect when it comes to leash training.
To hinder your puppy from pulling and directing you to where they want to go, it is vital that you quickly work on walking your puppy from the beginning. Make sure that your dog has a walk every day and at least twice a day. ”Let’s go” is a good command to say, but make sure that your dog doesn’t pull you along when they walk. Chat with her as you go along; this lets her know she is doing her job well.
If you find that your dog keeps directing you, stop walking. It is important that you wait until he or she looks up at you, before you say “Let’s go” again. It won’t take your puppy long to realize that each time she pulls, you stop. What puppies ultimately want to do is explore their new surroudings, so their pulling behavior will soon stop.
If you should happen to walk your puppy in the evening, you should think about carrying a TASER with your for your self defense. Your puppy won’t really understand that certain hours in certain places aren’t the best for strolling about, but you do. With a TASER along ,you can buy yourself escape time, if needed, and they can be used against aggressive dogs as well.
