Important Things You And Your Puppy Need To Know
The wonderful gift that having a dog brings can be compare to having a child. Dogs are like permanent children, which can bring all sorts of issues with it. Of course like young children they need masses of love and sensible rules to keep them safe and in harmony with the world they will be living in. Once you have purchased your new puppy you will find the family home will need some adjusting as this little guy will be a bit of a handful and at the beginning with a mind of us own. The new environment you take him into may seem a bit scary and confusing, as he will probably have just left his mum and brothers and sisters.
Jack, which seemed to be the name that came to mind when you were him carrying home was pretty upset on the first night and you were thinking the pet shop owner should have instructed you in how you could deal with it. You remembered the night your firstborn baby came home from the hospital so bundled young Jack onto the pillow where he remained cuddled all night while you pondered on the big responsibility you now had to make this little guys life an all round happy one. Here we can begin to map out the beginning of helping jack to grow up to be an obedient, well mannered dog. The tips given here will help you on your way as they are proven again and again to work extremely well. Jack will be relying on you to walk him through this world without fear
With love and care Jack will by now be settling happily into his new home with his new mum and dad, making it an excellent time for some basic early training. The first one that presents itself is his habit of leaving little puddles and deposits all over your designer house. Taking him out in timed intervals to your back yard if you have one is a good way to introduce him to the place where he can relieve himself. If this is not an option a dirt box or newspaper put in the same place will encourage him to go there. Take him to these places even we has an accident and history shows he will soon get the hang of it.
Biting in a puppy may seem cute at the time but you do not want to have an adult dog that is a threat to yourself and others. When puppies are all together they bite each other but this is how they learn to have more control an aggressive pup will be ganged up by the rest of them till he learns to cool it. When young Jack bites say in a very firm voice \”ouch\” or \’no and repeat this until he gets the message that biting is unacceptable. Be very consistent with your training and when he is older enroll him in an obedience class as this is a great way for him to interact with people and other dogs.
By now Jack will probably have the latest toys from the local pet shop lovingly put by his parents in a basket or box so he knows this is the stuff he is allowed to play with and more importantly chew. If you forgot to do this you may find your favourite shoes or worse still your furniture have been the victim of your best friends playtime. Try to keep temptation away from him by giving him toys to chew on and be consistent again in showing him what you need him to do. He will be wanting to please you so keep at it and he will take it on board and the only thing that will be chewed to bits are his precious toys. It may seem like hard work but every bit you put into Jacks early training will pay off big time and the pleasure you will gain from him, as an adult will be hard to compare. Having a happy, well adjusted dog in your life is a gift and the years of joy together will make you look back and know it was all worth it.
