No dog should ever end up in a shelter because of bad behavior! The truth is that a bad owner who didn’t train them is to blame. Any dog can be trained to become well-behaved, healthy and happy. Use the information below to help your dog become well mannered and an obedient family member.
It is important that you also train your dog at mealtime with a specific routine. Train your dog to understand that the food bowl will be removed 10-15 minutes after you have fed him. This will help get him on a schedule. Soon your dog will be finished with the meal before you are ready to remove the dish.
Make sure you feed your dog healthy food. Your dog will not benefit from a poor diet. This is not just bad for the dog’s health; it may also play a role in their negative behavior. Improving your dog’s diet will also improve its mental capacity.
Make sure your dog is up and active often. Dogs can easily become bored. If your dog is not receiving enough mental stimulation, it may not respond well to training. When your dog is exercised and is happy, training will be easier. A long walk or a brisk run are great ways to get rid of some of your dog’s excess energy.
Chew Toy
Give your puppy something it can chew to help it lessen teething pains, like a toy or a piece of rope. Keep any items you treasure out of reach of your puppy while it is teething. You should replace the object with a chew toy as soon as this occurs so your dog understands what is okay to chew on. In cases where your puppy is suffering a great deal of pain, try soaking a washcloth in water and freezing it as a numbing chew toy.
As previously stated, the idea of having good dog is not farfetched. All that your dog needs is good training, the right amount of attention, and plenty of support and love from you. Follow the advice here and it will help your dog become a family member.
