Bringing your puppy Home

You have found your perfect pet and are now ready for perhaps the most exciting step: bringing new puppy home! Pause first -- Are you prepared with both the equipment and knowledge of the requirements for successful introduction of your puppy into the home, for puppy care and puppy training?


While entire books can be written on these subjects, we will touch here on a few major issues and warnings. It is quite true that "you never have a second chance to make a first impression!"


First consider the date and time for bringing your puppy home. Given the option, you should avoid hectic and confusing times, such a birthday celebration or holiday. You want to select a time when everyone in the family can be present and the atmosphere can be as calm as this joyous occasion permits.


When you reach your home, be sure NOT to carry the pup in. You want to encourage and teach him to follow you inside. You do this with encouraging words and actions, but NOT with food. It is important that he or she sees you as a confident pack leader, not a food dispenser! Affection is the best reward.


Be sure the pup has done his business outside BEFORE coming in. Also, consider the spot you put him down, because puppies like to use the same area each time. So choose where you want him to go, and place him there to begin with. As his business is done, tell him "good wee wee" and "good potty" (or whatever words you choose).


Understand, too, that dogs tend to urinate to show insecurity or submission. This is very likely if you have another dog who is not thrilled with the new pup. Also, if the other dog is over-excited, the puppy is bound to wee!


BEFORE coming in is also the time to introduce any other household pets, especially other dogs. Always introduce dogs on neutral territory, especially if the dogs are the same sex. Introduce them OUTSIDE and not in the house, which the older dog would consider its territory.


You will want to BATHE the pup and dry him with your dog's towel or a towel you rub over your dog first. When the pup smells like the others, they will be more receptive to him.


Make sure your children understand well in advance that dogs are NOT toys, but are live creatures that deserve respect and feel pain the same as any person or animal. The children need to be taken around dogs to see how they react and for them to learn the proper way to treat dogs. Otherwise, children and dogs DO NOT MIX. Most dog bites occur on children - and for a reason!


So your children have been acclimated to dogs and instructed about the new puppy prior to your bringing it home. Now what?


Two keys: (1) So the dog sees the child as a superior, have the child feed the dog, and teach the child how to make the dog wait. (2) Have the child involved in the training and do whatever the child is capable of doing. For example, even a two-year-old can tell the dog to leave the ball. We're talking simple stuff.


Where to keep the pup? Be sure that you have an established, confined area for your puppy. Here he will feel secure and will begin to understand boundaries. He needs to stay in a confined, safe space always -- until he learns to respect boundaries, and unless you are actively working with him at the time. Your belongings would thank you if they could, and you will love yourself for it!


Allow the puppy to be with other dogs and children only under supervision until it is clear that everybody is acclimated, comfortable with one another, and acting properly. Do not panic if the pup is nipped or even pinned to the ground by your other dog, for this is a normal dog pack ritual in response to the pup's cheeky behavior. It is part of establishing the pack pecking order and letting the pup know what the rules are.


Do not discipline the puppy for growling. Puppies growl in play, they growl protectively, and they growl at children when they have had enough. It is instinctive and is a valuable warning. Without the growl, they could bite without notice. You do not want to discourage the warning!


For the first week the pup is home, you will want to feed his first few pieces of food by hand. This builds respect and lets him know that YOU own the food. This helps avoid the development of food aggression.


Unless you want a persistent, annoying beggar, do NOT feed the puppy from the table. If you wish to give him a scrap, wait until no activity is in the kitchen and put it in his dish. If you feed him while cooking (which is tempting to most chefs), he will beg every time you go in, and may get underfoot and trip you. It's both an annoyance and a safety issue.


On the pup's first nights, take him outside to go potty, then place him in a narrowly confined space. (Kennels are great for this.) Be sure he has water, and do NOT give in to his whining! The pup is like a new baby. He will try to get your attention to get his way. But he will learn, and after about three nights, the whining should essentially stop. Only take him out for bathroom purposes.


Know that young puppies, like babies, urinate frequently. An eight-week-old puppy will need to be whisked outside about every two hours. Otherwise, the puppy will learn to urinate in the house and make puppy house training more difficult. Instinctively, he will not want to mess where he sleeps, so a small sleeping space with towel, blanket, cushion, or dog bedding is most desirable.


Rather than mess there, he will learn to cry when he has a need, and you need to respond immediately by whisking him outside. If you delay or put him down to walk out by himself, his little bladder will leak (or flood).


It also helps to use kennel training from the beginning. Cover the kennel with a cloth of some sort (all but the door) so that it is more like a den. That both decreases distractions and increases the puppy's sense of security, while also making the cage more attractive in your home. Also leave two or three toys in with him, but no more. He will then learn to love his private space, to respect it and not to mess it unless he is in dire straits, and will generally be quiet except when notifying you that he has a bathroom need.


So - Now you have achieved step one with your new guy, bringing puppy home. If you chose right and introduce him correctly, you will have a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Congratulations!

Dog bite-bite to hold in check box


There are lots of behaviors that dog owners try and stop at an early age-namely, to make their shops where they cannot be expected (on your carpet), chewing tobacco up your favorite shoes or legs on your coffee table, barking incessantly on everything that moves, and an advanced game of fetch to chase after the birds at the park. But a type of behaviour should be curbed in order to maintain a happy and healthy life with your dog, and it is to bite dog.

Dog bite may seem cute, while they remain puppies, but it can lead to serious problems later, especially if something unfortunate with a stranger or a guest to your House. It is therefore very important that you keep them bite, from which even a harmless playful bite can seriously frighten children and adults alike. In this article Let's take a look at how bite agree to a minimum, and what to do if your dog is biting during playtime.

The best way to let the dog know that it is okay to put his mouth in man is to tell him so. If you have a full grown dog, they can be shy, resentful or suspicious of people as a whole, strangers and other dogs. This can lead to problems, especially in stressful situations, and it is therefore important that if you have a family, especially with small children, you try and keep things quiet and peaceful surrounding the dog for a while. Verify that all dog treats urgently so that he becomes accustomed to be around people. This should dramatically reduce the risk of bite dog during high stress of the dog, when strangers visit.

If you are a puppy training, then teaching against bite dog during the playing time is best. Simply take a tug of war ropes or similar toy designed for chewing tobacco and start playing puppy with. As long as his teeth do not make contact with the skin, to continue to play and pay tribute to him. When his teeth makes contact with the skin, say "OUCH," take the toy, stand up and turn puppy away from. Count to ten or twenty. If puppy your face you will simply ignore him and continue counting, then back to the game. Continue puppy this until no longer try to bite you.

Snow soccer

December 21st, 2010 by Minette
As has most of the nation were covered in the white fluffy stuff, and looking towards a White Christmas, I want you to have some fun today in the snow!  If you're lucky, to live in the South (boy, I never thought I would miss it!) or you don't have any snow, grab hold of a ball and head outside with your dog!
Take a large ball, basketball, football or even an indestructible ball can be used.  I like collecting balls that are indestructible because you can not easily destroy them. but if you have an older dog, I recommend something softer!
Grab the ball and head outside, look, if you are away from your dog keep kicking it on the ground and through his legs!  If you have a smaller dog, roll it gently towards him.  Come with a goal line and have fun together!  Make sure not to  hurt, but get out there and burn some of those cookie calories off and bond with your dog!
This is a great game for children and dogs, as long as both are respectful of the other and have adult supervision!

Support for our troops and their furry family!

Animals make all a big difference for us!
Can you imagine leaving your furry best friend or even take him to an animal shelter, because you have to move on to?  If you're like me, you would be mentally even now that ensuring would never happen!  In most cases I would almost rather be to protect homeless dog-less or my pets!
But what about our military personnel?  What happens if you orders leave the country, our freedoms to defend overseas?  Some people are numb and say that individuals in the military pets, especially single adults with no family, caring for your pets own should not.  But what is with divorced service members had, that, once an infrastructure for the support, that animal?
I can certainly understand the need to share your life with a pet. I also understand that everyone's conditions are unique and individually should be evaluated before the enormous responsibility of an animal.
Animals are not disposable!  Unfortunately we live in a world of single animals, and there are too many animals for good homes.  I often wish pets like diamonds, a resource that is treated like a treasure and not garbage.  Pets should only to be entered as a lifetime commitment!  But our military is often willing to pay for a lifetime of pets.
You have no room for another dog? Take a cat or a Pocket pet!
Unfortunately, sometimes duty calls our service men and women are called to duty overseas, and although you don't want to leave your pets, you are forced to do so.  What happens to your pets?  Hopefully you have family or friends nearby, you care about.  But what, if you have any resources for your furry family care?  Your pets are often abandoned, animal shelters and rescues, where some are thought out, but some are simply euthanized due to lack of space.  These are not pets with behavior problems or animals are unloved!  Either way, once loving owners probably never again you will see.
There are organizations that have appeared recently in the country that offer include dogs and cats and other animals, service members to promote!
I know and dozens of members of the military, and I can't imagine love, the war aggravated the stress and grief, the animal by the stress need to lose on your mental stability.  Every day make those who are fighting some grace and gratitude for our freedom and our families.  On a personal note, my boyfriend's Golden Retriever, was a pet much loved family euthanized, while he was served at sea our country!  He is still devastated, because it was nothing about the irresponsibility of the person he could maintain the trusted for his pet and even found not until it was too late.   This is a tragedy that can be avoided!
If you have lost an animal, or if you spare any room in your House have, I urge you, your heart and your home, who love to open
PET, until you return home and reunited can be a service member.  Can you imagine to leave to your pet?  You can think of gratitude that would you, for someone who feel yourself and your family to your family member voluntarily to worry?  There are dogs and cats and iguanas, birds, ferrets, rabbits, just about any kind of pet imaginable to promote.
I'll provide a few links to some organizations, you can research, but you can also do a Web search or apply to extend your local military base and a hand of love for our service members.  You don't even need an organization you this gift of love Institute to help!  But make a plan and join a contract associate American humane has http://www.americanhumane.org/protecting-animals/adoption-pet-care/issues-information/fostering-military-pets/ good guidelines here
