Raising a puppy

Raising a puppy is an important stage in the life of any dog owner. The right approach to training and upbringing will help create a healthy and harmonious relationship between you and your four-legged friend. However, there are a few key aspects to consider, as well as some mistakes to avoid.

Create a schedule and routine: Puppies need stability and regularity. Establishing a schedule for feeding, walking, exercising and sleeping will help create a stable routine for your puppy. It will also help to avoid health and behavior problems.

Socialization: Provide the puppy with the opportunity to meet other dogs, people and different situations. This will help develop friendly and safe behavior. Take your pup to dog parks, exercise groups, and meet up with friends to expand his social circle.

Use praise, games, petting and treats as positive motivation for your puppy. Show satisfaction at his correct behavior to reinforce his learning. Negative punishment is not an effective method and can cause psychological discomfort in your dog.

Train: Puppies are very disobedient, if you cannot train a dog on your own, contact a dog trainer.

What not to do:

Do not use physical punishment: Spanking or physical punishment are not effective parenting methods. This can lead to fear, aggression and misbehavior in the puppy.

Avoid inconsistency: Be consistent and consistent in rules and commands. Inconsistency can lead to confusion and poor puppy training.

Provide the puppy with sufficient physical activity and play, as well as mental stimulation. Lack of this stimulation can lead to excessive energy and unwanted behavior.
