No matter how cute and cuddly or playful and rambunctious your little dog is, there comes a time when you have to work on correcting any negative behavior your pup may exhibit, from pottying inside the house to biting you.
Sometimes, training your puppy can be hectic and you need a way to discipline your pup so it can learn how to act around others, on a leash, and in other social situations.
Now that you have the basic training done, including setting up eating times and potty training, it’s time to move on to the big stuff. One of the major things you will need to go through with your pup is leash training.
Sometimes, puppy training to teach your pup to avoid bad habits like leash pulling can be difficult.
It’s important for your pup to be obedient while leash walking, especially when you’re taking them around the neighborhood.
Puppies love to chew and bite. It’s their way of exploring the world, trying out food and even being playful for companionship. Nipping puppies are completely normal during play and exploration.
That said, biting isn’t a habit you want your pup to hold on to as they grow into an adult dog. If you don’t get started trying to help them unlearn the behavior when they’re young, it will be a lot more difficult to stop them from biting as they get older.
There are a few basic commands that you should teach your dog that come in handy when you need your dog to be obedient. Each of these basic commands is important and shouldn’t be overlooked when training your new pup.
One of these important commands is getting your dog to come when called. This becomes important in different situations, from stopping your pup from misbehaving to getting ready for a walk.
Pancreatitis is a common disease in dogs that, sadly, is often overlooked. When one of your furry friends has pancreatitis, there are ways to treat it. There are a lot of interventions and, although there is no guarantee that it will go away, there is a good chance that your dog will recover and may become healthier in the process.
The pancreas has many important functions, including creating the enzymes necessary for digestion.
As your dog ages, its mannerisms begin to slow and the way it interacts with you and the world changes. Much like humans, senior dogs become slower and they may need changes to their environment. Apart from the daily amount of physical activity, diet is one of the most drastic things to change.
Dogs are very good at hiding what is wrong with them. A key thing that lets you know that they are experiencing changes from aging is when they avoid their food.
Puppies! It’s so exciting to get a new pet and with a new furry friend comes buying new toys, puppy-proofing your home, and, of course, getting your puppy the right food.
