How to raise a puppy?

Instructions for raising dogs

When a puppy comes home at two to three months old, the owner needs to prepare the following:

Choose a name for the dog: A short name will help identify the puppy. Try to use names with the same syllables, so that the puppy will quickly become familiar with your name

Choose a place where the puppy will settle: it needs to be quiet, dry and moisture-free, well ventilated, warm in winter and warm in summer A cool, easy to clean place.

Dog cages: Electrostatically painted dog cages and stainless steel dog cages are the best. Wooden ones are not suitable because they are easy to be bitten by puppies and cause gastrointestinal discomfort. They should be enclosed for insulation in winter and ventilated and kept away from moisture in summer.

After deciding where your puppy will rest, the owner must consider which areas of the home or yard should be off-limits. To make home training easier, it is best to limit your new puppy's freedom in the home and yard.

Everyone knows that puppies just like to bite things. These items may include furniture, slippers, and pipes in your home. But you should remember that it is completely normal for puppies to bite, so you should provide safe toys to meet this need. You must also place kitchen waste in the garage or in a high place where your puppy cannot reach it.

Feed: The main component of white rice is starch, and the leftovers or soup at home contain a lot of fat and salt. If the owner often feeds the puppy with his own food, it will cause nutritional imbalance and aggravate the puppy's malnutrition. Shen Liji could afford it, but eventually developed bad habits such as being picky and picky about food. Each feed contains various nutrients, calories, vitamins and other ingredients formulated by experts to work with puppies. It is the most suitable tool for puppies to grow and absorb quickly.

Tableware: Stainless steel bowls are most suitable for eating. In addition, stainless steel bowls with bowl racks can be purchased for drinking water, which are convenient for cleaning and will not be damaged. There are also long-eared dog breeds for To prevent the ears from mixing with the dog food and causing a mess, owners need to choose a special conical bowl for long-eared dogs. For other dog breeds that need to grow beards, in order to keep the beards dry, they need to buy dripping water. Mouth kettle.

Neck collar and chain: The collar must fit properly, but there must be 1 to 2 finger widths between the collar and the neck. Of course, owners will also choose a chest-and-back leash, but I personally don’t encourage it, because the puppy is not yet mature, and the chest-and-back leash may affect the normal development of the dog’s chest shape due to improper use!

The collar should also be hung on the puppy's neck early to allow the puppy to get used to this kind of artificial restraint, so as not to get used to wearing the collar when it grows up, which will cause more trouble to the owner

Grooming supplies: Choose a comb, mild shampoo, and nail clippers suitable for your dog. Or add ear cleaners, etc. according to personal financial capacity.

Bedding and mattress: must be made of pure cotton and can be disassembled and cleaned. In the first few nights when your puppy comes home, he may feel lonely or afraid of being insecure because he is far away from the original environment where he should be raised, and may whine or even yell when you sleep. You can use a low-volume radio, a ticking clock, or clothes or towels that you are not wearing and place them next to your puppy to soothe it to sleep.

Feeding: It is best to feed the puppy four meals when it is 2 to 3 months old. It should be noted that the changes in the new owner and the new environment are very harmful to the puppy with weak resistance. Test, so don’t change the original food. Getting used to the new environment within a week is the most important thing when bringing the puppy home. A good seller will teach the new owner all the puppy’s original eating habits, so that the new owner can easily raise the puppy~ They are responsible breeders and sellers who truly love dogs.

Excessive eating and changes in food can cause diarrhea. Don’t let your puppy particularly like a certain food and feed it to it for a long time, which will lead to nutritional imbalance, picky eating, and partial eclipse habits leading to obesity, malnutrition, and overnutrition.

Puppy health indicators are almost determined by feeding in the first year: why is the right start important?

The proof lies in pet food. Because the food you choose for your pet in the first year will be the key to its development, health, and growth as it matures. Therefore, choosing a good brand of dog food can provide your puppy with complete nutrition, neither too much nor too little, and avoid health problems. It also helps strengthen the immune system and resist disease invasion, and enriches and prolongs the life of pets!

In the first year, puppies need vitamin H nutrition to live a healthy and happy life.

Fat, protein, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus help build strong bones and muscles evenly, and can provide enough energy to support the growth and activities of puppies. However, if these nutrients are too much, they may hinder your puppy's growth and may continue to cause serious health problems, such as obesity, bone disorders, and heart or kidney diseases. This is also the reason why you need to choose dog food carefully and even when adding homemade food, you need to be careful. Every animal has its own unique physiological functions that are similar to humans. Therefore, the animal’s food cannot be determined entirely based on human standards. food.

Snacks: Every pet owner hopes that his pet will have the most special performance or obedience at any time. Therefore, use snack training as a reward for training your puppy, or just to play with it. High-quality and healthy snacks are the best way for you to interact with your puppy.

Basic toilet habit development training: It is best to take the puppy home two hours after the puppy has been fed or before Before feeding, to prevent motion sickness and vomiting from damaging the esophagus, place it in a small carton or hold it tightly against your chest to make it feel safe.

When you get home, you must first place it in the place designated by the four owners to let it urinate and defecate, and then take it to familiarize yourself with other environments at home. Let it move freely and adapt to the environment. Do not hug it around. Chasing it and making it frightened will cause it to be timid. After it gets familiar with the environment, take it into the dog cage to rest and wait for eating. After eating, take it to a fixed place to urinate and defecate. After it urinates, let it go. It plays with the family at home. If there are signs of defecation, take it to the place where it needs to defecate.

Take it to a fixed place to defecate after each meal, so that it knows where the toilet is. If it is on a newspaper, put the newspaper on the ground when it is about to defecate. After a few times, , the smart puppy will defecate correctly. At that time, you should praise, encourage, and praise it. It is a good puppy and a smart puppy. If the place is wrong, correct it in time, clean the place, and let it go next time. Can't find it, because it is too young and cannot control its muscles. The puppy will urinate if it is too scared or excited. It will get better when it grows up.

If you repeat this a few times, it will take the initiative to go to its toilet to defecate. If it resists, hug it and praise it. If it does not defecate in its toilet, scold it. The floor will be cleaned and completely odorless. , so that it will not be able to find it next time. Only a slight smell in the place where it should defecate will cause it to want to defecate. In this way, it will remember it after about three or four days of training.

This training requires extreme patience and love, and it cannot be made clear to the dog in a few days. The owner needs repeated education to achieve results!

Epidemic prevention and deworming: before taking the puppy home Be sure to confirm with the original owner the date of birth of the dog and the date of the first dose of vaccination and first deworming, and record it in detail!

Note: If you cannot prove or believe that the original owner gave The puppy has been vaccinated. You can wait until the puppy has fully adapted to your home environment 15 days after returning home, and then take it to a trusted pet hospital for examination. If there is no abnormality in the body, it is healthy and has no internal parasites, then you can Re-schedule the injection period of the vaccine by yourself, which can better ensure the health of the dog!

The normal date for the first dose of injection for a puppy should be the first dose when the dog is 45 years old, and the vaccine is

p>

The second dose is a six-in-one + rabies vaccine on the 75th day of the dog's age

The third dose is a six-in-one + rabies vaccine on the 105th day of the dog's age

Note: ※ Six-in-one vaccine Includes the following preventable diseases: canine fever, adenovirus type Ⅱ, parainfluenza, canine parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis

Usually when you go to a pet store to bring back puppies, the pet business will claim that the puppies are Which dose has the dog received? However, because the pet business will not give you the injection certificate, the veterinarian usually recommends starting from the first dose and giving the injection certificate.

Reputable kennels will expel intestinal parasites such as coccidia and roundworms about one month after the puppy is born, and will inject short-acting vaccinations (such as two-part vaccine) on 42 to 45 days, and wait two weeks. Then deliver the healthy puppy to the new owner, and instruct the new owner to go to the veterinarian for a long-acting vaccination (six-link vaccine) when the puppy is 3 months old. Pay attention to the puppy's health before the vaccination, and the weather will not change much. If the food environment does not change, take it to a good veterinarian for vaccination. Absolutely no bathing within two weeks. Use a hot towel to wipe the body, brush the whole body with a comb, and do not take it out for a walk.

Other puppy diseases that should be paid attention to:

Protozoal parasites: Most of these are directly transmitted from the mother to the puppies, such as coccidia, whipworm, and hookworm. Parasites reproduce asexually and can live in the intestinal wall cells of dogs. Too many parasites can easily lead to pernicious anemia and malnutrition in puppies. In severe cases, it can lead to nutritional imbalance and death. Do not be careful!

Cold: After buying a puppy and giving it a bath, it developed loss of appetite, runny nose, cough, fever, sneezing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Changing environments, owners, and food is a big test for puppies, so don’t rush to give it a bath. If it is too dirty, wipe it with a wet paper towel and wait until it adapts to the environment before bathing

Kennel cough: The puppy has a good appetite and is very active, but something seems to be stuck in the throat. Kennel cough: If there are dogs coughing in the dog shop when you buy a dog, they are likely to have this disease, which is caused by a filtered virus. Airborne infection, pay attention to puppy nutrition or hospital examination and treatment to prevent the transformation into canine distemper

Rickets: The two toes are separated, the front angle becomes "0" or "X", the female dog is calcium deficient , directly affects the puppy's bone growth, pay attention to the management of the kennel, the quality of the feed, sunlight and air have a great impact

Gastroenteritis: vomiting of feed and water, due to eating foreign objects (bones) , wood chips, plastic, paper, etc.), food changes, chemicals, intestinal parasites, etc. Therefore, do not let the puppy roam around when no one is watching. The dog crate is the safest.

The symptoms are mucus and blood at the end of defecation, frequent and small amounts, so fasting is required immediately and taken to the veterinarian for examination and nutritional injections.

Puppies of three to four months

Changes in feeding: The number of feeding meals for puppies at this time can be changed to three meals a day, and their food intake and weight will vary depending on each puppy. There is a slight difference between the dog's absorption and the amount of exercise (please refer to the feeding amount on the dog food and distribute it evenly among the three meals). Whether the dog's digestion is normal is normal if the stool is in strips and can be easily detected (some dogs have poor digestive function) Okay, so although the feces is difficult to pick up, it is in strips, as long as it is not muddy, it is normal). The belly should not be too big after meals, because the puppy legs cannot support the weight, so if there is too much food, the feet will be deformed, and it will be very difficult in the future. It is difficult to adjust back, so mass-to-weight is the best feeding method.

Epidemic prevention and deworming: Keep in mind and implement the original deworming and deworming plan

Pay attention to and observe the dog’s behavior:

Puppies enter March 4th The age of one month is just like the stage when human beings enter kindergarten or prepare to enter the first grade of elementary school. In addition to the regular education of fixed-point defecation, this is also the beginning of the owner's development of basic obedience training. Please pay attention to the following:

Puppies’ habits are developed by their owners. For example, if they put them on the sofa or bed to play with when they were very cute when they were young, and then scold them when they grow up and put them on the sofa or bed, this is the owner’s mistake, so they should be punished from an early age. Teach it the rules, praise it whenever it does something right, give it a few feeds, and reprimand it loudly if it cannot do something. Do not feed anything other than feed. Especially the puppy will eat whatever the owner eats. Because the food eaten by humans is seasoned, the puppy will become picky and will not eat the feed. The nutrition will be unbalanced, making it easier to get sick, and it will be difficult to feed in the future. .

The owner should Understand the basic habits of dogs: The ancestors of dogs are wolves. Although they have been raised and domesticated for more than 10,000 years, their genetic genes still retain many of the habits of primitive wolves, and living in groups and sociality is one of them.

Wolves are animals that live in groups. They usually live in a group of seven or eight and hunt in a gathering style. Among them, each wolf has a different class status in the group; zoologists are used to referring to wolves as The leader of the group is called the alpha wolf. The distribution of food, the settlement of disputes, and even the responsibility for the reproduction of offspring in the group all depend on him. The other wolves are also content with their status in the group and obey This is the society of wolves, led by alpha wolves.

What about dogs? Although after a long period of evolution, dogs still retain the nature of these wolves, but the objects that live in groups have expanded from the same kind to They are the people who raise them. At home, dogs regard every family member as a member of the group, living with us, playing games together, and hunting together (out for a walk).

When interacting with humans** *In the same time of life, dogs with keen senses have

Unknowingly, we position ourselves for our class status in the family; that is, they clearly know who is the alpha dog in the family and who is just their playmate. So there is a Interesting phenomenon: Dogs are very obedient to certain people's orders, and are indifferent to certain people. The reason for this is that everyone in the family has different ways of getting along with the dog and their attitude towards discipline. Caused by differences.

Understanding the original nature of dogs living in groups, we can draw several conclusions:

The reason why dogs are easy to train is because they retain the ability to obey the leader in the group. (Because cats are solitary animals with strong autonomy, they are difficult to train).

The status of a dog in the family is determined by everyone in the family’s expectations, attitudes and ways of getting along with it* **Same decision.

To teach a dog to obey commands (control the dog), the prerequisite is to first make yourself the boss of the dog (alpha dog).

Feeding How does the owner become the boss of the dog in the family? This requires the owner to carefully observe the dog's behavior pattern in order to deal with it appropriately!

First understand the dog's thinking mode

Dogs and humans have gone through a period of After tens of thousands of years of getting along with each other, it can be said that they have been completely integrated into our lives. It is precisely because our relationship with dogs is so close that everyone often makes a misconception - we often think in terms of human thoughts. To explain the behavioral motivations of dogs, we ignore that dogs have unique and different thinking patterns from humans. Because of this wrong concept, we have caused many problems in our communication, discipline and training of dogs. Then you know that you What is your dog thinking? How does it feel about you? Only by understanding the dog’s thinking mode can we enter their inner world and further establish a correct relationship with them

< p>Dogs will not make any comparisons or judgments about their lives, and they will not care about the identity, status, occupation and wealth of their owners. We dress them up and feed them the best and most expensive food to satisfy them. It is nothing more than the inner needs of the owner; and a dog that is overly pampered will often confuse the relationship with the owner, thereby challenging the owner's leadership status and producing various problematic behaviors

Dogs rely on intuition and experience As the basis for action, we live in the natural world; while humans judge based on morality and value and live in the world of emotions. Therefore, when we correct the wrong behavior of dogs, we cannot use human moral norms to correct it. You cannot persuade them, let alone negotiate terms with them. Instead, you must immediately stop them with clear and direct means. Only in this way can they clearly understand the mistakes and correct their wrong behaviors

Dogs are alive Animals today are unable to understand the thinking logic of human causes and consequences, so we must punish it immediately when it makes a mistake, so that we can make it associate the punishment with the wrong behavior. For it within a minute or so Punishing the mistakes made an hour ago is probably just a waste of effort; and a consistent attitude is needed to make it meet our expectations, [Sometimes it is okay, sometimes it is not; it is okay when you are young, but not when you grow up. Yes], all the discipline methods will make the dog feel confused and at a loss. Therefore, the attitude towards dog discipline must be developed from an early age and implemented without any slack.

There is no one who cannot be a pet. Dogs can only be punished by people who don’t know how to be owners.

The way to punish dogs must be clear and direct, imitating the methods used by bitches to discipline puppies, in order to achieve the best results

Rewards and corrections must be carried out immediately at the appropriate time. If you miss the first time, it will lose its effect

Come here and let us understand the dog’s problem behavior

The so-called dog’s problem behavior, It generally refers to all bad habits that cause trouble to the owner's home life. However, these behaviors do not represent any problem with the dog itself, but are purely measured by whether it causes trouble to people. Common problem behaviors include separation anxiety disorder. Fear of aggression, leader syndrome, etc. Here, we will only discuss some of the most common problem behaviors

Dogs regard the whole family as a group living together. Some dogs with strong autonomy and dominance will challenge the authority of their owners and want to be the leader of the family, that is, they want to be the so-called alpha dogs, so they develop some problematic behaviors. Animal behavior scholars call these dogs suffering from leader disease. Syndrome. And it will roughly

There are the following signs, as well as the behavioral language they represent:

(1) When going out for a walk, he likes to pull on the rope and walk in front of the owner.

(Walking in front of the owner when hunting) (Previously, being the leader of the group)

(2) When locked in a cage, he would bark randomly and ignore the owner's restraint.

(Have the desire to be a leader, but not willing to Freedom of movement is restricted; it may also be due to separation anxiety)

(3) If left alone at home, he will bite things and urinate and defecate randomly.

(Think that he is a leader, When unable to go out together, they will become anxious and develop various destructive behaviors; this is also one of the symptoms of separation anxiety disorder)

(4) Disobey the owner’s orders.

(Want to be an alpha dog and do not want to accept the command of someone with a lower status in the group)

(5) Often pounces on the owner.

(The dog will often pounce on the owner, is Because it believes that it has equal status with its owner)

Holds the owner's thigh and makes a mating gesture.

(Trying to challenge the owner's leadership status, it has nothing to do with sexual desire)

< p>(7) Reluctant to lie down and expose the abdomen in front of the owner.

(The abdomen is the most vulnerable part of the dog. Lying on the back and exposing the abdomen means submission.)

The owner will show his teeth to resist or attack the owner when being disciplined or trained.

(Thinks he is an alpha dog and is unwilling to accept the owner’s discipline)

Does not have leader syndrome Dogs will exhibit all the above behaviors, but we use the number of occurrences as a basis for judging their severity. Moreover, most dogs have certain symptoms more or less, as long as they are within the range that the owner can tolerate. It doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye, but if it causes trouble, you must correct it as soon as possible to get the real pleasure of raising a dog.

The reason why many stray dogs are abandoned is because their owners It is caused by the inability to correct the dog's problem behavior.

Many of the dog's problem behaviors are caused by the owner and the dog not establishing a correct relationship.

Problem dogs are caused by The reason lies mostly with people rather than dogs.
