It is still small and the muscles, ligaments in his weaknesses and when to pull the puppy, picking up his front paws, it is very easy to injure him for a lifetime. Take the puppy should be both hands under the chest and under the seat at the same time, or on both sides, grabbing the chest and shoulder blades, and not under the belly.

Toys

The puppy should gnaw – This requires growing teeth, and it is necessary to provide it with appropriate items – toys, so it does not mess up your shoes and other articles of daily use.

You can not play with the puppy in the « necking », as it can mess up the bite. In no case do not give your puppy to play an old shoe, or even some of your old his shoes, because the puppy will not be able to distinguish the new from the old shoes.

All chemicals should be stored out of reach of the puppy.

Training of a puppy Golden

On the first night in a new place your baby myour baby can be a little whine, and is likely to be hard to scrape legs and asks to you bed. Until now, his whole world consisted of « nest », in which he was born, was near his mother, brothers, sisters – littermates, and suddenly everything changed in an instant. The puppy is in a state of mild stress. Be patient, do not take him to bed. Do not let the first day that it will be impossible to do an adult dog in the future. The dog does not understand – Today « can », and tomorrow « impossible ». If you give a weakness, prepare for the fact that the new tenant will share with you is always a sleeper! To distract the baby, you can put a heating pad under the rug, it will warm up and go to sleep.

The first command, which is taught puppy a command " can not " or " Fu ".! The puppy should be familiar with and comply with this command. Remember - by this team often depends on the health and the life of your pet

!

To accustom the puppy to all commands should be in the style of the game – promotions. Swearing and dissatisfaction should be minimized, and the punishment - DELETE – puppy is still quite small childhood he should be happy and serene.

As an incentive, maybe a biscuit, a favorite toy, and most importantly, of course, be generous with praise. Remember, if your baby nabedokuril, but still performed command « to me » and ran up to you to punish your puppy in any case it is impossible! After running this command, all the « accounts » Past faults should be forgotten. If this happens, your dog will never approach you on the street. If walking take the puppy on a leash only to drive home, he quickly learns that « to me »!; due to the termination of an unpleasant walk. If you can let the puppy run around without a leash, it is necessary, after he was a little run about, take it on a leash, walk with him, and then let go again. During one walk so be performed multiple times, then the leash will be no problems.

In addition to mining teams « to me »!; these exercises accustom the dog to walk calmly on a leash. In modern cities, a lot of dogs are killed under the wheels of cars. On the crowded streets and driveways and alleys puppy adult dog (even very obedient) should only be on a leash.

A little puppy, sparkle, can encroach on your new shoes left in the hallway, or the recently sticked wallpaper, leaving a puddle in an undesirable location, and so on. D.

If you come home and your favorite slippers were razed to the ground, puppy jumping for joy to see you, and you begin to scold him, he decides that he has got in such a stormy meeting, and about the slippers he did not even remember.

For a puddle or a pile of punishment in general can not be! It is only necessary to show that it is not good and that you are not happy with (voice, facial expressions). Metabolism of a growing puppy is so rapid that the apartment it will still spoil up to 5-6 months. You will stand in the yard after each sleep, feeding – pools will be much less. The apartment can be attributed puppy on a specially reserved for this place with postelennuyu absorbent diaper on the floor.
