Suggestions for new dog owners
I have listed some of the suggestions you need to do before you bring the pup or adult dog house.
1. the will never buy a DOG per pulse-- I know that you may think this pup, or adult dog is so cute that you go home, but what do you do with it when it is at home? Now all of a sudden encounter with questions about him.
2. Chat-- Get answers before you get a DOG. It's okay to ask questions, but do not get a DOG until some knowledge about him.
3. to read and learn-- you can go to the library and read up on the breed of dog you are interested in, or buy a book on the breed of dog. If you do not want a purebred dog, just get the book, which includes information on raising and caring for all dogs in General.
I was reading about this woman, who has a 7-month Old German Shepherd/Labrador mix. She asked a few questions, such as: how it stop her dog from digging holes; Move up on his or her Guests; and how it stop her pup from pawing at it and pisk comments. Etc. Sounded like he was her first puppy and she does not know how to deal with it. Would I think that if someone was going to get a DOG or PUP, or adult dog, should at least read the care and responsibility with a DOG.
First and foremost, it should be borne in mind, it is the only puppy. Like small children must be taught some manners. These ' manners, "should be taught to Adult dogs as well. Pressing is definitely big no-no; If you do not want the dog, who is afraid of you or one that becomes aggressive.
The basic "manners"
1. Sit
2. Residence
3. the Heel
4. Come
5. Off
6. Give
Adult dogs and puppies love getting attention from their masters. Have time to play with your dog and pet him often. Builds a bond between you and your dog. After playtime is up, give him the treat and maintain safe toys for him to play with if you want to keep him busy. Kong toys are great because you can place treats and dog cookies or peanut butter inside the Kong toy, a dig or lick.
For jumping up on Guests, you need to teach your dog to "SIT." If it is, it cannot jump on anyone. I taught My German shepherd, Zeus, not going to jump on me. He was a year old and was not taught any manners when he came to live with me. When I saw its traffic to jump on me, and simply extend both arms referred to in front me, Palm up and pushed it away (not hard, but firmly so it is a message), as I said the word "disabled." He quickly does not move up on me, because the independent at the time, there was so much fun as he thought it would be. I always carry dog cookies in my pockets, and when it came to me jumping on me, and will reward this behavior with hardware dog cookie. Quickly learned that the hop-up was "bad", and was the running back to me jumping on me "good," (and rewarding).
Sometimes you and your dog will build a close relationship with each other. If "listen with your eyes," you can read lots of your dog. Dogs can communicate with their body language.
So have plenty of patience, love and time to give your dog a new PUP is that or adult DOG, and you and your dog will be a long and Happy life together.
