Try to use the same syllable as the name, and the changed puppy will soon be familiar with his name and choose the place where the puppy will live: it needs to choose a quiet, dry, moisture-free, well-ventilated, warm in winter and cool in summer, and easy to clean. Dog cages: electrostatic paint dog cages and stainless steel dog cages are the best. Wooden dogs are easy to bite and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so they are not suitable. It should be enclosed for heat preservation in winter and ventilated in summer.
After deciding the resting place of the puppy, the owner must consider which places in the home or yard should be listed as forbidden areas. In order to make the training at home easier, you'd better limit the freedom of the new puppy at home and in the yard. Everyone knows that puppies just like to bite.
These things may include furniture, slippers, and pipes at home. But you should remember that it is very normal for dogs to bite indiscriminately, and you should provide safe toys to meet this demand. You must also put the kitchen garbage in the garage or higher place so that your dog can't touch it.
Feed: The main component of white rice is starch, and the leftovers or soup at home contain a lot of oil and salt. The owner often feeds the puppy with his own food, which will cause unbalanced nutrition, increase the burden on the puppy, and eventually develop bad habits such as picky eaters. Each feed contains various nutrients, calories, vitamins and other experts to cooperate with the puppy, which is the most suitable weapon for the puppy to grow and absorb quickly.
Tableware: stainless steel bowls are most suitable for eating, and stainless steel bowls with bowl racks are also selected for drinking, which is convenient for cleaning and avoids damage. In addition, in order to prevent the ears of long-eared dogs from mixing with dog food, the owner needs to choose a special conical bowl for long-eared dogs, and in addition, in order to keep the lake dry, he needs to choose a drip kettle.
Collar and chain: The collar must fit, but there must be a width of 1 to 2 fingers between the collar and the neck. Of course, the owner will also choose the chest and back traction belt, but I personally don't encourage it, because the puppy is not yet mature, and the chest and back traction generation may affect the normal development of the dog's chest shape due to improper use! The elephant pen should also be hung around the puppy's neck in advance, so that the puppy can get used to this artificial restraint and avoid being unaccustomed to wearing a collar when he grows up, which will add trouble to his owner.
Beauty products: choose a comb suitable for dogs, gentle shampoo and nail clippers. Or add an earwax cleaner according to personal economic ability.
Bedding mattress: It must be made of pure cotton and can be disassembled and cleaned. A few nights before the puppy gets home, he may feel lonely or afraid of insecurity because he is far away from the environment where interest should have been charged, and he will whine or even shout when you sleep.
You can use a low-volume radio, or a ticking clock, or put clothes or towels next to your dog when you are naked to calm his mood and let him sleep.
Feeding: When puppies are 2~3 months old, it is best to basically feed them four times. It should be noted that the change of new owner and new environment is a great test for puppies with weak resistance, so don't change the original food. Adapting to the new environment within a week is the most important thing for a puppy to take home. A good seller will teach the new owner all the original eating habits of the puppy, so that the new owner can easily raise the puppy ~ this is a responsible breeding seller who really loves dogs. Overeating and food changes can cause diarrhea. Don't give the puppy a certain food for a long time, which will lead to unbalanced nutrition and picky eaters. Partial eclipse habits can lead to obesity, malnutrition and overnutrition. The health index of puppies is similar to that of the first year.
Feeding decisions: Why is it important to start right? The proof is in the pet food. Because the pet food you choose in the first year will be the key to its development, health and growth after maturity. Therefore, choosing a good brand of dog food can give the puppy no more or less complete nutrition and avoid health problems. And help to strengthen the immune system and resist the invasion of diseases, enrich and extend the life of pets! In the first year, puppies need vitamin H nutrition to live a healthy and happy life.
On average, minerals such as fat, protein, calcium and phosphorus help to strengthen bones and muscles, and can provide enough energy for the growth and activities of puppies. However, if these nutrients are too much, it may also hinder the growth of your puppy and may continue to lead to serious health problems, such as obesity, bone imbalance, heart or kidney diseases.
This is why we should be careful when choosing dog food diseases or even adding homemade food. Every animal has a physiological function close to human beings, and has its own uniqueness, so it is impossible to prepare animal food completely according to human standards. Snacks: Owners want their pets to be the most special or obedient at any time. Therefore, taking snack training as a reward for training the puppy, or just having fun with it and eating a healthy snack, is the best way for you to interact with the puppy.
Note: The owner must know that some foods are healthy or leisure snacks for people, but they are deadly poisons for dogs.
1. Chocolate (deadly food) Theobromine in chocolate is a poison to animals. It will reduce the blood flow to the brain, which may lead to heart disease and other fatal problems. The higher the purity of chocolate, the greater the danger to dogs. (In layman's terms, just like drugs in humans, a small amount will keep dogs excited.
▲ Poisoning dose (puppy, 15~20 lbs /6~9 kg)-milk chocolate: 8~ 12 oz (226g~340g)- dark chocolate: 1 oz (28g).
▲ Poisoning symptoms-severe drooling-frequent urination-dilated pupils-accelerated heartbeat-vomiting and diarrhea-extreme excitement and energy-muscle trembling-coma 2. Onion (dangerous food) Raw or cooked onion contains disulfide, which is harmless to human body, but it will cause the danger of red blood cell oxidation in cats, dogs, sheep, horses and cattle. It may lead to hemolytic anemia.
▲ The poisoning dose is 1 per week. Two small onions are enough to destroy the operation of red blood cells and affect oxygen delivery, thus failing to provide enough oxygen for the body.
▲ Poisoning symptoms-weight loss-fatigue, laziness-frequent wheezing-listlessness-rapid pulse-weakness-membrane-like secretions in gums and mouth.
3. Liver (dangerous food) Liver is one of dogs' favorite foods, and many snacks or dog foods contain liver. Eating a small amount of liver is actually good for dogs, but if it is excessive, it may cause nutritional problems.
Because the liver contains high units of vitamin A, taking too much vitamin A may lead to vitamin A poisoning or excessive vitamin A (many owners may have seen racing dogs, but they have seen trainers use chicken liver to guide the training of participating dogs, so they may think that all participating dogs can eat it. What can't my dog eat Understand that the dog's coach only uses chicken liver as an attractant, and rarely really gives the dog a stomach, which is by no means the main food when feeding.
▲ The poisoning dose is about 3 doses of chicken liver (raw or cooked) a week, which may cause bone problems. If the dog has another vitamin A supplement, it should not be fed to the liver.
▲ Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency-abnormal bones-rapid development of elbows and spine bones-weight loss-anorexia and loss of appetite. 4. Bones (dangerous food) Don't feed broken bones such as chicken bones. Bone fragments may pierce the dog's throat or cut the dog's mouth, esophagus, stomach or intestine. Don't eat even the big bones of pigs or cows and puppies. In addition to calcium, bones also contain magnesium. Note: all antidiarrheal drugs are marked with the content of "magnesium" for your reference!
▲ Asphyxiation-pale and blue gums-panting-opening your mouth to breathe-scratching your face-shallow breathing-unconsciousness, dilated pupils Note: If you want to feed bones, cook them in a pressure cooker.
5. Raw eggs (dangerous food) Raw eggs protein contains protein, an avidin, which will deplete the vitamin H (one of the B vitamins) in dogs.
Vitamin H is an indispensable nutrient for dog growth and fur health. In addition, raw eggs usually contain germs, such as salmonella. Feeding raw eggs will eventually turn into feeding toxins to dogs by mistake, which is more likely to cause vitamin H deficiency.
▲ Symptoms of vitamin H deficiency-alopecia-weakness-growth retardation-skeletal malformation Note: Cooked eggs are excellent snacks for dogs and contain high protein and other nutrients. Only raw protein contains ovalbumin. If you want to feed raw eggs, please only use egg yolk, but you should still be careful of the infection of germs.
6. Raw meat and poultry meat (dangerous to fatal) Dogs hunt animals in the wild, but their immune system can't adapt to poultry and meat raised by artificial science (especially now, criminals often add hormones or antibiotics to poultry feed)
The two most common toxins are Salmonella in poultry meat and Bacillus in meat. (Both are killers who can easily cause acute enteritis in dogs. ) Salmonella poisoning symptoms-loss of appetite-high fever-diarrhea-dehydration-lower abdominal pain-listlessness, no symptoms of psychiatric poisoning-vomiting-stomachache-diarrhea, severe bloody-shock-paralysis 7. Pork (feeding is not recommended.
8. Milk (not recommended) Many dogs are lactose intolerant. If your dog has symptoms such as farting, diarrhea, dehydration or skin inflammation after drinking milk, you should stop feeding. Dogs with lactose intolerance should eat lactose-free milk, dog food or human food, but the ingredients that people eat may not fully meet the needs of dogs.
9. Mushrooms (not recommended ~ potentially fatal) Edible mushrooms and ground mushrooms in the family are harmless to dogs, but they should be avoided to avoid dogs eating toxic shavings because of their eating habits when they go out in the wild.
And the habit formation training that leads to the basic defecation danger: it is best to take the puppy home two hours after feeding or before feeding to prevent motion sickness and vomiting from hurting the esophagus, and put it in a small paper box or hold it tightly on the chest to make it feel safe.
When you get home, you should first put it in the place designated by the Fourth Master, let it urinate, and then take it to get familiar with other environments at home, let it move freely to adapt to the environment, and don't hug it or chase it, which will cause it to be afraid. After he is familiar with the environment everywhere, take him to the dog cage to rest and wait for food, then take him to the place where he is required to urinate regularly, and let him play with his family at home when he has finished urinating. If there are signs of defecation.
After every meal, take him to a fixed place to pee and let him know where his toilet is. If he wants to be in the newspaper, put it on the ground when he wants to pee. After several times, the clever puppy will defecate correctly. Then, we should praise, encourage and praise him. He is a good dog and a clever puppy. If he goes to the wrong place, he should correct it in time and clean it up so that he can't find it next time, because he is too young to control his muscles.
Repeat this several times, and it will take the initiative to pee in its toilet. If it is wrong, it will hug it and praise it. If it doesn't pee in its toilet, it will scold it. Cleaning the ground will make it completely tasteless, so it won't be found next time. Only when it should pee, will there be a slight smell that makes it want to pee. This will be remembered after about three or four days of training. This kind of training requires extreme patience and affection, and it is not clear to the dog in a few days. The owner needs repeated education to be effective!
Epidemic prevention and deworming: Before taking the puppy home, be sure to confirm the date of birth, the first vaccination and the first deworming with the original owner, and make detailed records! Note: If you can't prove or be sure that the original owner has vaccinated the puppy, you can wait until the dog fully adapts to your home environment 15 days after returning home, take it to a trusted pet hospital for examination, and you can reschedule the vaccination period yourself, so as to better ensure the dog's health!
The first dose should be injected on the 45th day of dog age, and the second dose should be injected on the 75th day of dog age. The third dose should be given on the first 105 day of dog age. ※ Note: Six-in-one vaccine includes the following preventive diseases: canine fever, adenovirus type II, parainfluenza, canine parvovirus, infectious hepatitis and leptospira. Usually go to the pet store to bring back the puppy, and the pet industry will claim that the puppy has been hit.
A reputable kennel will drive away intestinal parasites such as coccidia and roundworms about one month after the puppies are born, and inject short-acting preventive injections (such as two vaccines) for 42-45 days. Two weeks later, the healthy puppy will be delivered to the new owner, and the new owner will be instructed to take long-term preventive injections (six vaccines) at the veterinarian when the puppy is three months old. Pay attention to the dog's health before injection. The weather has not changed much, and the eating environment has not changed.
Other puppy diseases that need attention: protozoan parasites: most of them are directly transmitted to puppies through their mothers, such as coccidia, pear-shaped whipworm and hookworm. This parasite is asexual and can live in the intestinal wall cells of dogs. When there are too many worms, it will easily lead to pernicious anemia and malnutrition in puppies, and in severe cases, it will lead to nutritional imbalance and death. Don't be careless
Cold: after buying a puppy to help it bathe, it will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, runny nose, cough, fever, sneezing, vomiting and diarrhea. Changing the environment, changing the owner and changing the food for the puppy is a great test for them. Don't rush to help him bathe. If it is too dirty, wipe it with a wet paper towel and wait until it adapts to the environment before bathing the dog.
Cough: The puppy has a good appetite and is very active, but his throat seems to be stuck. Kaka Cough: If a dog coughs in a dog shop when buying a dog, it is likely to get this disease. This is an airborne virus. Pay attention to puppy nutrition or hospital examination and treatment to prevent canine distemper.
Rickets: The toes are separated and the front angle is "0" or "X". Calcium deficiency of bitch directly affects the growth of puppy bones. Pay attention to the management of kennels. The quality of feed, sunshine and air have great influence on gastroenteritis: feed vomiting, vomiting after drinking water, eating foreign bodies by mistake (bones, sawdust, plastics, paper, etc. ), food changes, chemicals, intestines.
Therefore, when no one is watching, don't let the puppy wander around. Dog cages are the safest. The symptom is mucus and blood at the end of defecation, with more times and less quantity. You should fast immediately and take it to the vet for examination and injection of nutrients. Changes of puppy feeding for three to four months: at this time, the number of feeding meals for puppies can be changed to three meals a day, and their food intake and weight will be slightly different due to the absorption and exercise of each puppy (please refer to the feeding amount on dog food and distribute it evenly among the three meals). Whether a dog's digestion is normal or not can be easily detected by stool examination (some dogs have poor digestive function, so feces are not easy to pick up, so it is normal as long as it is not sticky). The stomach should not be too big after dinner, because the puppy's legs are still normal.
Epidemic prevention and deworming: remember and carry out the initial deworming and epidemic prevention, pay attention to and observe the dog's behavior: when a puppy enters the age of three or four months, it is like the stage when human beings begin to enter kindergarten or prepare for the first grade of primary school. At this time, in addition to regular defecation, it is also the beginning of the owner's training and development of basic obedience training. Please pay attention to the following points: the puppy's habit is formed by the owner, such as putting it on the sofa or bed when it is young, and going to the sofa bed when it is old. Blame it is the owner's fault, and teach it rules from an early age. As long as we do it right, we should praise it and give it some feed. If you can't do it, yell.
You can't feed anything other than feed, especially the puppy will eat whatever the owner eats, because people eat with spices and the puppy will become picky eaters. If you don't eat feed, your nutrition is unbalanced, you are more likely to get sick, and it is difficult to feed in the future. Therefore, the owner's mentality and usual ideas should be cultivated by himself, otherwise, as soon as your dog grows up, the owner will spend more than twice as much time on re-education!
Pay attention to several behaviors: as a pet owner, you have the responsibility and obligation to know your dog, and then educate it so that your dog can integrate into people-oriented social life as soon as possible. The following are common dog symptoms. Ask the owner to carefully recall and observe the symptoms of improving (1) separation anxiety-dogs can't stay at home alone (leave their owners):
1. Keep calling.
2. Severe drooling
3. bite things indiscriminately to destroy them
4. defecate everywhere
5. anorexia or loss of appetite
6. Trying to escape the restrictions given by the host
7. Excessive licking or biting of limbs
Improvement method:
1. Let the dog participate in obedience training-lie down and wait 15 minutes or more.
2. Get the dog used to the dog cage-stay in the cage for more than 6 hours.
Don't say goodbye to the dog when you go out.
Turn on the TV or radio when you go out.
Don't say hello to the dog when you go home.
6. Simulate actions before going out; For example, take the key and change clothes, but don't leave to calm the dog's anxiety.
7. Let the dog have enough exercise to relieve stress.
8. Establish a correct relationship between people and dogs-cultivate your leadership.
9. Seek the help of a doctor and treat anxiety with drugs.
(2) leader syndrome (power potential)
Symptoms: When your dog shows the following symptoms at the same time (not necessarily all)
1. When I go out for a walk, I like to walk in front of my master with a rope.
2. Being locked in a cage will scream and ignore the owner's stop.
3. disobeying the master's orders.
4. The master holds the thigh and makes mating movements.
5. Refuse to lie on your back and show your abdomen in front of your master.
6. During discipline or training, you will show your teeth to resist or attack your master.
7. Intentionally urinating on the owner's belongings.
8. No one is allowed to be near while eating.
Improvement method:
1. Let dogs participate in obedience training.
Don't let the dog eat until the owner has finished eating.
Let the dog sit down before feeding.
Don't let the dog go to the sofa or bed.
5. Let the dog lie on his back to expose his abdomen and gently touch his whole body.
6. Ignore the barking of dogs except punishment.
Let the dog follow us when we go out, not us.
8. The owner should be able to control the rhythm of the dog's daily life, such as when to eat, play and rest. Instead of blindly obeying its wishes, he should mainly understand the basic habits of dogs: the ancestors of dogs are wolves. Although it has been domesticated for more than 10,000 years, its genetic genes still retain many primitive wolf habits and live in groups.
Socialization is one of them. Wolves are social animals. They usually hunt in groups of seven or eight, and each wolf has a different class status in the group. Zoologists are used to calling the leader of the wolf an alpha wolf, and the distribution of food, the settlement of disputes and even the responsibility of offspring reproduction depend on it.
The rest of the wolves are also satisfied with their position in the group and obey the leadership of alpha wolves. This is the wolf club. Where's the dog? Although dogs have evolved for a long time, they still retain the nature of these wolves, but the social object has expanded from the same kind to the people who raise them. At home, dogs treat every family member as a member of a group, live with us, play games and hunt together (go out for a walk).
In the time of living with human beings, sensitive dogs have unconsciously positioned their class status at home; That is, they clearly know who is the alpha dog at home and who is just their playmate. Thus, an interesting phenomenon arises: dogs are very obedient to some people's orders, but they are indifferent to some people. The reason for this result is that everyone in the family has different ways of getting along with dogs and attitudes towards discipline.
Knowing the primitive nature of dogs living in groups, we can draw several conclusions: dogs are easy to be trained because they keep the nature of obeying leaders in groups. Because cats are solitary animals, they are very autonomous and difficult to train. The status of a dog in the family is determined by everyone's expectations, attitudes and ways of getting along with it. Teaching dogs to obey orders is the premise.
This requires the owner to carefully observe the dog's behavior pattern in order to deal with the symptoms! Understand the thinking mode of dogs first. After more than 10,000 years with human beings, dogs have fully integrated into our lives. It is precisely because we have such a close relationship with dogs that people often have a wrong idea-we often use human thoughts to explain the behavior motivation of dogs, but ignore the uniqueness of dogs.
Different from human thinking mode; Because of this wrong idea, there are many problems in our communication, discipline and training of dogs. Do you know what your dog is thinking? How do I feel about you? Only by understanding the thinking mode of dogs can we enter their inner world and further establish a correct relationship with them. Dogs don't compare or judge their own lives, and they don't care about their owner's identity, status, occupation and wealth. We dress them up beautifully and feed them the best and most expensive food to meet their inner needs.
Moreover, over-indulged dogs often confuse the relationship with their owners, thus challenging their leadership and causing various problems. Dogs act by intuition and experience and live in nature. People are judged by morality and value and live in a perceptual world;
Therefore, when we correct the wrong behavior of dogs, we can't convince them with human ethics, let alone negotiate with them. On the contrary, we must stop it immediately by clear and direct means. Only in this way can we make them clearly realize their mistakes. Dogs that correct wrong behaviors are animals that live in the present, and we can't understand the thinking logic of human causality. Therefore, when it makes a mistake, we must punish it immediately. Only in this way can we make it associate punishment with wrong behavior.
And we must have a consistent attitude to make it meet our expectations, [sometimes, sometimes not; You can do it after hours, but you can't do it when you grow up. It will make dogs feel puzzled and at a loss. Therefore, the attitude towards dog training must be cultivated and implemented from an early age, and there must be no slack.
There is no dog that can't be a pet. Only those who can't be the master must learn the method of bitch disciplining puppies, which is clear and direct, and can get the best reward and correction. They must be finished immediately at the right time, and if they miss the first time, they will lose their function. We understand that the dog's questioning behavior is the so-called dog's problem behavior, which refers to all the bad habits that bring trouble to the owner's family life, but these behaviors do not mean that there is anything wrong with the dog itself, but purely.
Common problem behaviors include separation anxiety, fear attack and leader syndrome. Only some of the most common problem behaviors are discussed here. Dogs regard the whole family as a group living together and have certain autonomy.
Dominant dogs will challenge the authority of their owners and want to be leaders in the family, that is, they want to be so-called alpha dogs, so some problem behaviors have appeared. Animal behaviorists say that these dogs suffer from leader syndrome, and they generally have the following symptoms and the behavioral language they represent:
(1) When I go out for a walk, I like to walk in front of my master with a rope.
(2) When you are locked in a cage, you will scream and ignore the master's stop. Have the desire to be a leader and don't want to be restricted in freedom of movement; It may also be separation anxiety)
(3) If a person stays at home, he will bite and pee. If you feel that you are a leader and can't go out together, you will be anxious, and then there will be all kinds of sabotage; This is also one of the symptoms of separation anxiety)
(4) disobeying the master's orders. I want to be an alpha dog, but I don't want to take orders from people of lower status in the group. )
(5) often pounce on the master. Dogs often pounce on their owners because they think they are equal to their owners. ) Holding the thigh, the owner makes mating movements. Trying to challenge the leadership position has nothing to do with sexual desire. )
(6) Unwilling to lie on your back and show your abdomen in front of your master. Lying on your back exposing your abdomen is the most vulnerable part of a dog, indicating obedience. Obey. When you discipline or train, your master will show his teeth to resist or attack your master. You think you are an alpha dog and don't want to be disciplined by your master. ) Not only dogs with leader syndrome will have all the above behaviors, but we will judge the severity according to the number of occurrences. Besides, most of them. There are more or less certain symptoms. As long as the host can tolerate them, it doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye. However, if there is any trouble, he must correct it as soon as possible in order to get the real pleasure of raising a dog.
Many stray dogs are abandoned because their owners can't correct the dog's problem behavior. Many problem behaviors of dogs are caused by the failure to establish a correct relationship between the owner and the dog. The cause of the problem dog is mostly people, not dogs. Generally, dogs will defecate everywhere when they first arrive in a new environment. Let me teach you a few ways to get them into the habit.
1. If you are often at home, the way to teach your puppy to defecate is to take him outside immediately after he has finished eating, waking up or moving. He usually defecates. If you see him sniffing in circles, that's what he did before he peed. If your house is often open or has a yard, don't take the puppy out to defecate, but take it out. This kind of training can help him get familiar with the route in and out and defecate when he goes out. Soon he will go out to defecate when he wants to. If you are a frequent commuter, you can use this method, but it is best to lock him in a cage first, and then get into the habit of taking him out regularly. When he gets used to it, he will endure defecation when he goes out.
If you live in an apartment or the door is often closed and there is no yard, the best way is to use the so-called newspaper pad method. It's best to keep the puppy that has just been caught home in a slightly wider cage or within a certain range or be tied by a dog somewhere. In this small area, you can put some newspapers everywhere. In a few days, you see that he often defecates somewhere. You can spread newspapers in other places in this small area without newspapers. When you start laying newspapers somewhere, you will usually put more newspapers, as long as they are not wet. You can save the last newspaper as the first one of the next newspaper, so that after 2-3 weeks of patient training, your dog can probably move freely in the house (except dogs who like to bite). However, when you keep your puppy in that small area for the first time, you should carefully consider whether this small area is the place where you want it to pee the most in the future.
The above two methods are quite effective in most cases. Either way, if you encounter an "accident" during training and the puppy defecates in an inappropriate place, please don't hit it or scratch it or sniff the feces, because you often accidentally train the dog to defecate when you are angry or when it shows obedience or fear to you. Be careful! Watch out! You might say that your dog came out just to stop urinating. Maybe you just caught the criminal caught red-handed when he was urinating everywhere. Even so, fighting is not advisable, because it is possible to train a dog to pee when it is obedient. If your dog poops several times in the same place where you don't like it, you should use a collar and chain in that place for several hours or a day, so that the dog won't like this place and will avoid it.
