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
Jack is turning out to be as a bundle of fun for the whole family, racing around in fact having a great time. The thing is it is never really too early in a puppies life to start some basic training. Assuming that most pups are sold anywhere from six to twelve weeks then as soon as he is feeling comfortable with his new environment you can begin. The obvious thing that arises is finding a place where little Jack can relieve himself as when they are little you would swear they are on autopilot in this department. If your property is fenced you could take him outside at intervals during the day, inside the house have a dirt box or newspaper down in one place so he gets used to going there. Never rub his nose in his deposits, as it will only confuse him. If he has a little accident promptly pick him up and carry him to the place you want him to go. These little guys usually get the hang of it sooner or later much to the relief of his new mum and dad.
Biting in any dog is totally unacceptable not to mention dangerous so early intervention is very important. When puppies run up to you and bit your leg or hand at first it is regarded as cute and often humorous. In the litter puppies play quite roughly together and tend to bite each other a lot. This is how they learn to control themselves with each other. When young Jack bites say in a very stern voice "ouch" or "no" until he ceases. Keep repeating this until he gets the message from mum and dad that biting is a bad thing and as long as he does this there will be no fun for Jack. Enrolling him in an obedience class when he is a little older is a must, as he will learn to interact with other dogs and people.
Last but not least we need to address chewing. How many shoes and pieces of furniture have ended up in the bin because your little canine darling was not given toys and not given any direction. Every pet shop has lots of toys and most dogs have a special affinity with their basket or box of fun stuff. When little Jack grabs mums new shoes out of the wardrobe, gently take it from him and replace it with a toy. Since puppies love their toys he will soon get bored of other things and chew only his favourite toy. Consistency is so important and will give you that best friend you dreamed of when you first went to that pet store and fell in love with that little bundle of trouble. A dog that has been trained carefully with a lot of affection will give back to you in ways you never thought possible. He will love and honour you, protect you to the best of his ability and supply you with endless hours of play and laughter. There is something so rare about a dogs unconditional love and once you have it you will understand why Jack is mans best friend...and of course yours. .
