Before you take a puppy ... |
|
A puppy is usually taken away from its mother when it is 4-5 weeks old, and its further upbringing will depend on you, its owner. First of all, he needs to determine the place. You cannot place a puppy in the kitchen or bathroom. This is unhygienic. You can also not put it near the battery and in a draft. The puppy will inevitably catch a cold and may become seriously ill. Usually they give him a quiet corner in the hallway or hallway and put bedding there. It is best to use a dense rug (rug) as a bedding. Foam rubber should not be put. The puppy will soon gnaw it and can stuff it in the stomach. It is not suitable to use a cotton blanket or mattress. They get dirty easily and poorly clean. You can make a wooden frame with a height of 300 mm, stretch a tarp and put a mat on it.
You can't punish a puppy for puddles. He is still small and cannot contain himself. So that the puppy will soon get used to recovering on the street, take him out every time after he has eaten. If you began to worry, whine, squat on the floor, take it out into the yard again.
For a puppy to grow up strong and healthy, he needs to walk more. Get used to long walks gradually, bringing them to two or three hours. Do not try to keep him near you all the time - let the kid run and play as much as possible. However, use the walk to educate your pet.But, while training a puppy, remember that he is still small and cannot concentrate on one thing for a long time, gets tired quickly and is often distracted. Therefore, do not demand from him a clear and error-free execution of your commands. Don't repeat them over and over. After he has done the exercise two or three times, let him run. It is best to build learning as a game, then training will bring you and your baby pleasure.
For the first two months, the puppy, except for the command "Place!", Must learn its nickname and come up to you on command. It is not difficult to accustom a puppy to a nickname. To do this, it needs to be pronounced more often during play, feeding and while walking. Teaching a puppy to approach on demand is more difficult. Either he was carried away by a toy, then he plays merrily with his peer and he has not the slightest desire to return to the owner. Well, what can you do with such a fidget! Here it is necessary to show perseverance and stubbornly ensure that the puppy, just hearing the command "Come to me!", Ran as fast as he could, no matter what he was doing. You can't run after him, shout and get angry. He will perceive it as a game and will be worn even more or, on the contrary, will be scared and will not fit for a long time, fearing punishment. In general, any team must be accompanied by affection, an encouraging word and, of course, a delicacy.
At the age of two months, it is time to teach the puppy to the harness and leash. The harness should be soft, tight to the body, but not hinder its movements. At first, the baby will feel uncomfortable, trying to pull off the straps with his teeth. Distract him from the harness with a game, stroke him, give him a treat. If the puppy very often "remembers" the harness, take it off, let it take a walk, and then put it on again. Each time he has to be in the harness longer and longer.
At three months, the muscles will get strong enough, and it can already be accustomed to the collar. It should be neither too tight nor too loose.If inside the collar,
If the dog will live on the street, he needs his own house-booth. Its dimensions are shown in the figure. It is best to make the booth collapsible, then it is easier to clean and disinfect. They build a dog's dwelling from ordinary boards. Separate floor, roof and walls. The floor should not have gaps. It is good if it is made of a single piece of plywood or floorboards that fit tightly together. The roof must be made with a slight slope so that rainwater can drain from it. Moreover, the edge of the roof above the manhole should be twice as large as on the opposite side. The roof is usually made single-pitched, then it serves as an additional resting place for the dog.
In winter, to keep warm in the booth, the manhole must be covered with a thick cloth. This could be a piece of burlap, tarp, or an old blanket. The floor should be insulated with hay, straw. D. A. Rogozhkin |
... You need to think carefully. This is not a new toy, not fun, but a living creature that requires affection, attention and proper handling. And if you are determined to get a four-legged friend, then you should prepare in advance for the fact that great worries will come along with the little puppy.
The puppy must be specially trained to its place. When the restless idiot gets upset and starts to play pranks, take him in your arms and, tenderly saying: "Place, place," take him to the bedding. The mischievous person will want to run away, but you gently detain him, stroke him and repeat the command: "Place!" Only he will calm down, praise and give a treat. After about five minutes, repeat the exercise. If you do this with a puppy three or four times a day, then very soon he will walk on his own, obedient to your command. The place will become for him his own house. Here he will begin to bring his toys, tidbits. Here he will hide from the punishment he deserves. If the puppy misbehaves, but managed to escape to the bedding, you cannot punish him, otherwise he will never get used to his place, because he will not feel safe. In general, when you punish a puppy, in no case beat him - a cowardly dog will grow up. Give forbidding commands strictly, demandingly, but not evil. The puppy should obey you, but not be afraid. If he is too mischievous and will interfere with you, for example, cleaning the apartment - running after your legs, grabbing a broom, - strictly command: "Fu!" and immediately: "Location!" It will be clear to the puppy that he is guilty.
You cannot punish a puppy if a lot of time has passed since the moment of committing the offense. Let's say you were in a hurry to school and forgot to hide your slippers from him. And so, having come home, he found that the four-legged prankster had already thoroughly "sharpened" his teeth about them. In this case, it is too late to punish. The puppy simply will not understand why he is being scolded.
When the puppy starts to cut his teeth, give him toys, otherwise he will gnaw on everything he comes across: furniture, shoes, books. Elastic rubber or soft wood products can be used as toys. Round bones are good for this purpose. Do not give objects that are hollow inside, such as a table tennis ball, casings from handles, etc. The puppy may swallow bitten off pieces. There should be several toys so that if he gets tired of one, he immediately switches to another.
Before you teach your puppy any techniques, you must teach him the main thing - obedience. The better he listens to you, the more successful his further training will be.
To the command "To me!" it is best to train your puppy during feeding. This is how it is done. You take a bowl and, in order to attract the pet's attention, you say its nickname: "Volcano". If the baby has raised his ears and is alert, lower the bowl to the floor. When he runs to the stern, give the command "Come to me!" I just ran, repeat again: "Come to me!", Praise: "Good, Volcano, good" and move the bowl, let him eat. After three to five days of such training at home, start practicing the command for a walk. The principle is the same: first you call a nickname, then give a command. When the puppy comes up, praise and give him a treat. If it still doesn't fit or goes sluggishly, beckon with a treat. This will not work either - try to play tag with him. Run away from him and call: "To me, Vulcan, to me!". Change direction, cheat, stop, jump to the side. At the same time, do not forget to repeat: "To me, to me, Vulcan!" You see that the puppy has joined the game, give in, and only he will catch up with you, stroke and reward with a treat. When the puppy learns to run up to you unquestioningly, you no longer need to give the treat.
Also train to leash. During the game, unnoticeably fasten it to the harness, then, after a while, judging by the reaction of the animal, unfasten it. Let the puppy pull on to get used to the leash. The leash will help you steer your puppy until he masters all the tricks of canine science, and also appear in public places without fear of being hit by a car or pestering passers-by. Don't let the puppy bark at people, try to distract him by playing. Don't let strangers pet your dog. He should treat strangers calmly, but distrustfully. While walking, try to change the route and go out into crowded places so that he gets used to moving cars and is not afraid of busy streets. But for training, choose a place where nothing would distract him. Gradually, as you acquire this or that skill, make sure that the puppy can follow commands in any environment.
When the puppy is quite comfortable with the collar and begins to run freely on a leash, teach him to walk at his feet on the command "Near!" This is achieved with slight jerks of the leash. When practicing this technique, remember: first you need to give the command, and only then pull the leash. One command is often enough. If the puppy is too restless, pulls the leash with all his might, sticking out his tongue, be patient. Give him more rest, then start learning again. Begin to practice the command "Near!" When he runs well and plays enough. A three-month-old baby does not need to be required to walk "as if sewn on." It is enough for him to walk calmly, without pulling on the leash, a little ahead. Do not forget to encourage him with affection and delicacy.
It is advisable to teach the puppy until the age of four months such commands as "Sit!", "Lie down!", "Fu!" Practice the first two commands with a treat. Place the puppy at the left leg and, saying "sit, sit!", Gently lift the piece above his head with your right hand. The puppy, without taking his eyes off the treat, will start to lift his muzzle higher and higher and in the end will be forced to sit down. Also teach him to the command "Lie down!" In this case, move your hand with the treat forward and down. At the same time, you can pull the puppy by the front legs. Team "Fu!" give it in a stern voice and demand that the puppy obey it unquestioningly. If he does not respond, repeat the command even more severely and lightly slap him on the back or tug lightly with the leash. Mechanical action must be preceded by an inhibiting command.
The booth must not be placed directly on the ground, otherwise water will flow into it. In addition, the floor, in contact with damp and damp ground, will damp and become unusable. To prevent this from happening, the booth is installed on small wooden blocks.
