The links and documents below provide
general advice on how to care for your puppy. This will assist you in
preparing for your puppy's arrival and get you off to a good start.
-Please make sure you, your
children, and the rest of your family are aware of the signs your puppy
is sending.
-The dog is not a toy and should
not be held at all times. Set a limit on how many times your youngster
can hold the puppy every day (no more than four). Only children who are
sitting should be permitted to hold the dog. Too much touching can both
physically harm the dog and start the process of the puppy refusing to
accept your child. There will be no wandering around with the puppy.
This is true for all children under the age of eight.
-Toys are chewed and ingested by
puppies. Make certain that all toys are put away. If your dog eats the
fragments, they may lodge and require surgery, which is not usually
successful. -Hugging puppies
is often frowned
upon. (They don't generally like it)
-People will be jumped on by
puppies. Most dogs will respond to one of two major replies. The first
is to cross your arms and hide your hands while turning around and
displaying the dog your backside while remaining completely motionless.
If your dog continues to jump on you, this strategy is not working and
you should stop using it. Instead, move straight into the area where
their front paws are resting on the ground, taking care not to step on
their feet. Each time your dog leaps, repeat this activity and instruct
everyone who comes into contact with your dog to do the same.
-Puppies and dogs in general will feed off the humans in their
environment. Those who are easily excited and
speak in high-pitched tones will breed a dog that reacts to seeing
people by becoming hyperactive and difficult to control. Keep it to a
minimum. It's not in the pups' best interests to be pushed to raise
their enthusiasm level to this level over and over again. This is when
the dog loses attention and is unable to follow your instructions. Keep
in mind that your dog will pick up on your tone and level of intensity. |

Puppy
Behavior Issues:
This is a new territory for you, and
you're probably unclear of what constitutes normal puppy behavior.
Puppies (like adults) develop undesirable behaviors as a result of
continual love and care, which they require but which can also prevent
them from acquiring healthy habits.
When she cries, she may need to be fed or changed, much like a baby,
but she may also just want to be held. This makes you happy, but it
doesn't necessarily help your kid grow and develop social skills.
Puppies are similar in that they must learn right behavior in order to
mature into the wonderful canines we know they can be! So, let's get
these puppy behavior issues under control before they get out of hand!
