You may be looking for the perfect companion and a preconceived notion of what you expect from owning a pet store or pound. What could happen may differ completely different. No matter what happens it is now your responsibility to make sure the dog is cared for, you now have to learn how to care for your pup.
While you can hug your dog, you shouldn’t kiss them. Dogs really get into everything, drink from toilet bowls and sniff and lick various body parts on themselves and other dogs. It is not true that a dog has a cleaner mouth than humans. This is not in the truth!
Be sure to have your dog spayed or spayed. Research shows that doing this can reduce your dog by reducing cancer and make them healthier in general. Also, dogs that are fixed lose their desire to stray from the home, limiting their exposure to dangerous traffic and other hazards.
Do not feed your dog. This causes regular begging and will only teach him to beg constantly and also inhibit his appetite toward his regular food.
Your daily lifestyle can help determine what dog breed. For example, if you are athletic, get a type of dog that can run with you, not a toy-poodle. If you prefer to stay home curled up on your couch, perhaps you would like a small dog. You should find a choice that fits well with your lifestyle.
This communicates to your dog that the behavior he is exhibiting is just exactly what you are looking for. It teaches the idea that they will receive attention if they behave as you want them to.
Rawhide treats are the best options for your dog than real meat bones. Real bones can chip and become lodged in their mouths or digestive tract.
Don’t force your dog eat something they don’t want to eat. If you purchase a treat your dog doesn’t appear to like, do not force the issue. Learn what he likes and dislikes when you first bring it home.
Brushing your pup daily will do much more than keep them from shedding all over your home. Brushing them daily will help make their coat shiny. The brushing distributes a dog’s fur.
You should always trim your dog’s nails regularly. If they start curling under, your dog will probably hurt a lot. You can always do this yourself using a pair of dog clippers from the pet store. If your dog does not respond well when you try to trim the nails, simply take him to a groomer – it doesn’t cost very much to get his nails trimmed.
With all of this great advice available to you, you would be a fool to ignore it. Use it liberally and you will see that your dog can be a model of good behavior. When your dog is happy, you’ll be happy too. Do what you need to do to make that happen.
