New Puppy: 3 Vital Rules When Bringing Home A New Pup Pt. 3
Here's the final rule number 3 that all owners of a new pup should be mindful of. No doubt you've found out by now that new puppy ownership has it's challenges. Hopefully you've found the suggestions of these past few days to be helpful. Here's the last, but not least, rule number 3... 3. Don't Change The Rules In The Middle Of The Game You may initially have a rule that your pup is not allowed on furniture, but after a few days, you decide that this cute furry pup is too irresistible, so you let her lay next to you on the couch. After eight months or so, you now have a 60-pound puppy on the couch and you decide that this isn't such a good idea. So now you change the rules again and try to keep her off the couch. Don't expect your puppy to catch on if you keep changing rules like this. Changing rules in midstream can cause harm and distrust in your relationship with your puppy. It also confuses the puppy as to what is right and wrong. A human parallel is dating someone who seems nice and attentive at first, but after a few months, shows a nasty side we've never seen before. Just as we all have been hurt and confused when we experienced this situation, your dog will feel the same sense of confusion. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with deciding to let your pup lay on your couch or bed, if that is your rule. I only see a problem with it if you try to change that rule later. So remember, if you make the rules, you must follow them, and be consistent. Since there's more to raising a dog than just setting a few rules, be sure to check out the Permalink below for more helpful tips... Permalink -- click for full blog
New Puppy: 3 Vital Rules When Bringing Home A New Pup Pt. 2
Here's the much awaited rule #2 of our 3 part series on important rules to follow when first bringing home a new puppy. 2. Stay Consistent With The Rules Decide with your spouse or significant other the rules you want to establish for the house. If you have kids, they should also be part of the discussion. The things to decide with your family are consistent feeding times and a walking schedule, whether the dog will be allowed on the furniture, where it will sleep, and what rooms in the house are "dog-free zones." Other decisions will come up later, such as whether to feed the dog table scraps or to allow it to sleep in someone's bed; these decisions should be discussed as a household, and then all members of the house should follow the rules. Watch for number 3 tomorrow. In the mean time, read up on what to expect growth wise from your new pup during his first year. Not only will watching him grow be facinating, knowing what to expect will prevent any surprises on your part. Read on... Permalink -- click for full blog
New Puppy: 3 Vital Rules When Bringing Home A New Pup
Congratulations! Now that you've aquired a new puppy, there are alot of exciting canine adventures in store for both you, and your pup. In this 3 part series we will discuss the 3 Vital Rules Every New Puppy Owner Should Know. Following these important rules will ensure the bonding experience between you and your new friend, will be a smooth one. Here's the first rule... 1. Set The Rules With A Family Discussion First, set the rules. If you already have a puppy or are considering getting one, then you need to have a family discussion (or household discussion) to lay out the house rules for your puppy. It's essential that each family member is on the same page in terms of abiding by the same rules. When the rules are made, everyone must follow them. Inconsistency is extremely confusing for a puppy. Puppies don't thrive on mixed messages. Often, one family member will feed the dog at the table while another member may be more strict about it. Stay tuned for Rule #2 tomorrow. In the mean time, be sure to read up on a subject that is near and dear to every puppy (and most owners too) FOOD! Knowing more about puppy nutrition is essential for a healthy dog! Read here...
