When a puppy appears in the house, the owners, as a rule, have a lot of questions about caring for a new family member. You should know that the basic principles of raising and feeding puppies are the same for all babies, regardless of their breed.
Instructions
Step 1
The upbringing of a puppy begins from the moment he appears in the house. Give your baby a name and always use it when talking to your dog.
Step 2
Give your puppy a place in the house. Lay down a mat and make sure that the baby goes to sleep there. Repeat the command "Place" often, sending the puppy to the bed. Don't take your baby to bed.
Step 3
If you are not yet taking the puppy outside, teach him to relieve himself in one specially designated place.
Step 4
Try to stop bad behavior as soon as you notice its manifestation. Be consistent in your demands and punish your puppy for disobedience. Teach the puppy the "Fu" command.
Step 5
Begin to gradually train your puppy for the collar and leash by dressing them at home for a short time.
Step 6
From the first day the puppy appears in your home, teach him to eat from a bowl located on a special stand. This is necessary to form the correct exterior. The bowl should be at the level of the baby's chest. As the puppy grows, it is necessary to increase the height of the stand.
Step 7
Place a rubber mat or cloth under your puppy's feet to prevent slipping when feeding.
Step 8
Select the type of food. The puppy can be fed with commercially available foods or organic foods. If you are not sure that you can independently compose a balanced diet for your pet, it is recommended to give preference to ready-made feeds. When choosing feed, pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Step 9
Make sure the food you choose is suitable for the puppy. If the baby eats with pleasure, is active, he has clear eyes, shiny coat and a well-shaped chair - the food is selected correctly.
Step 10
Always feed your puppy in one specially designated place. You need to feed your baby at the same time.
Step 11
Make sure that clean drinking water is always freely available.
Step 12
When feeding with industrial food, do not give the puppy natural food and vitamin and mineral supplements - this can lead to metabolic disorders. It should be remembered that the dog does not need a varied menu. Your puppy will grow up healthy if he eats the right food at certain times.
Step 13
Never give your puppy fatty, smoked, salty or spicy foods, or chocolate. It is strictly forbidden to give tubular bones.
Step 14
Always reward your puppy's good behavior.
