Tips On Taking Care Of Your Puppy

When the puppy is two to three months old, he finally forgets mother and is perfectly adapted to life in your home. It is important that all members of your family treat him kindly, spend time with him. This will help him feel confident and aware him as “family member”. Make sure that nobody frighten puppy, and, even in jest, hurt him.

Two-month puppy most of the time is sleeping, and in the rest – is playing. His baby teeth erupt, and, naturally, he tries to use them. At this point you can give the puppy large “sugar

Train Your Dog – The Lessons

Is there enough time that you spend on the playground for the qualitative development of skills? If you do not go to the playground and the instructor comes to you and holds private lessons near your house, are these lessons enough? Is it necessary to work with the dog even in those days, when the lessons with an instructor are not provided?

Let us just count up. For example, take a course of obedience, which I propose to conduct individually (with the departure to the house) for my clients. The course includes 20 sessions, held twice a week. To be precise, there is one more lesson, but it is offered as a test one, and it is free and is not included into the course. But for simplicity we express it in round numbers.

The method would involve five classes per hour each. And later, when the dog gets used to the work, the duration of studies is 1.5 hours. The last five studies are conducted in conditions of strong distracting stimuli; much time is spent on replacement of places on city streets, so the duration of each session is 2 hours already. It is easy to calculate that the “paid” time of all classes during the course is 30 hours. With two sessions per week duration of the course is 10 weeks. If the client does not train with the dog when is alone, he has given 30 hours to develop skills during almost three months.

Now imagine that a client works with the dog per 30 minutes in those days, when it has no scheduled classes. It is easy to determine that in this case he works with the dog 55 hours during 10 weeks. Almost twice as many than in the first case! But there are clients who find the time and effort to work with the dog in the right way. And each day they repeat the training, which was held by an instructor last time, without assistance. And do it in the same volume. Again, run the calculator, and get the result: 10 weeks include 105 hours of the dog
