Buying a dog, especially for a family with children, can be an exciting and extremely enjoyable event. However, before introducing a new member to the family, it is important to prepare both yourself and your children, as well as your four-legged friend. Here we look at some tips on how to do it.
You have decided to get a dog. Now begins the responsible stage for your future life, choosing a breed. Here you should be careful, because your life will change radically and these changes will be most influenced by the breed you choose.
This stage should take a lot of time so that you don't make a mistake and choose the wrong breed for yourself. Analyze each breed, choose it for yourself, not for trends. After all, you will need to devote time to her later. Watch a video with this breed, review care recommendations, breed characteristics, preferred living conditions for it, and more.
Do not take a dog by its cute face when it is very active, if you are not sure that you can "strengthen" such a breed. Choose for your family, if there are more than two of you, because the child will also take part in raising the four-legged friend.
Prepare the family for a new family member. This is an emotional and exciting moment that requires responsibility and preparation. Accepting a dog in the family includes not only a joyful emotional response, but also mandatory preparation for creating a healthy and harmonious environment for the new member.
Before welcoming a new member into the family – your four-legged friend – it's important to set expectations and rally the family around a care plan. A family meeting will be an important step in creating a harmonious and responsible relationship with your new pet.
A family meeting is a time for a frank conversation about expectations from a new member. Discuss what you want to get out of this meeting, what aspects of care are important to you, and how a dog can enrich your family. It is important to determine the roles and responsibilities of each family member in caring for the dog. Plan the division of tasks, indicate who will be responsible for what. This may include morning or evening walks, cooking, cleaning up after walks, and other daily duties. Determine the "schedule" of your interactions with the dog so that everyone has the opportunity to interact with the new friend.
Before welcoming a new member into the family, it is important to pay due attention to the training and familiarization of all family members with the basics of care and safety rules. This will create favorable conditions for a comfortable and safe life together with the dog.
Create a cozy area for your dog, equipped with amenities to make the new resident feel comfortable and secure. Place a soft and cozy bed where your dog can rest in a way that is convenient for him.
Place a bowl stand that will provide access to fresh water and tasty food at designated times. Choose bright and different toys that will keep your new friend interested and entertained.
It is important to take into account the characteristics of the dog: if it is a small puppy, it may be necessary to place additional rodents for dental health. A large dog may need more space and sturdy toys.
Do not forget about decorative details - for example, a soft carpet or rug for warmth and comfort. Make sure your home is ready to welcome a new family member and you are ready to provide them with everything they need for a happy and healthy life.
Emphasize the active participation of children in the process of caring for your dog, giving them the opportunity to participate in various aspects of the responsibilities. This will help them develop a sense of responsibility and develop a love for animals. Let the children participate in feeding the dog. They can help place portions of food, ensuring that their new friend is well-nourished. Involve children in walks and games with the dog. They can be great companions during physical activity, which is useful for both the dog and children. Teach children the basics of dog care, such as daily bowl cleaning, periodic grooming, and general supervision of the animal's health. Involve children in the process of teaching the dog commands. Not only is it fun, but it also develops interaction skills and fosters a sense of control in children. Remind children that dogs need not only physical care, but also lots of attention and love. Develop in them the ability to show sensitivity and care.
