| DOGS Some people keep their dogs indoors, others prefer to leave them outside. Regardless of where you choose to keep your dog, it will need a house or bed which is all its own. This way, the dog can use its bed as a refuge if it feels uncomfortable or just tired. Indoor dogs may be offered crates or beds, which come in a variety of sizes and are sold at many pet stores. If you choose to offer your dog a crate, there are two types available. Wire crates are very easy to disinfect and clean, in addition to giving your dog plenty of ventilation. Plastic crates are also quite easy to clean, but your dog will not be able to see out of the sides very well. This type of crate is the type required by airlines, so if you plan to travel with your dog this may influence your decision. Also, because the dog cannot see out of the crate it may feel more comfortable and sheltered, as though it has its own cave or den. No matter what sort of crate you plan to use, it should be large enough that your dog can stand up and turn around inside it. You should also try to choose a crate that has a few inches of airspace above yo ur dog's head when it is standing or sitting. Some people will utilize their dog's crate in house training. The other sort of indoor bed for your dog is a soft bed. These can be as simple as a pillow you designate for your dog, or a box lined with blankets. You can purchase specially made dog beds in pet stores. PUPPY CARE Your puppy may whine or cry at night at first. He has been separated from his mother & litter mates, and will be lonely. Unless the cries are sharp indicating pain or illness, do not pick up the puppy. If you do, he will continue to cry every night. Place the puppy in his crate, and then go and reassure him periodically. He will soon learn that nighttime is for sleeping, not crying. I also suggest giving your puppy a small stuffed toy right away. It will comfort your puppy when you are away. Be sure that the toy has no pieces that could be chewed off and choked on. Avoid yelling at your puppy. A sharp "no" is all that is needed when he does something wrong. Yelling at or hitting your puppy will give him a low self esteem, and he will not obtain his full potential. It is important to find a vet who will listen to you and who you feel comfortable with. You will spend a lot of time with your pet, watching and thinking - however we are not vets and we need them. However, you should have a vet who doesn't always have to be right at any cost and one who is willing to listen to you so that a proper diagnosis can be made. Approach your vet as you would your own doctor and if vou feel he is going down the wrong path do not be afraid to say so. A good vet will appreciate what you think. If your puppy has been used to playing with rope toys, small stuffed animals and cow hooves. I do not recommend rawhides because as they chew they get smaller, small pieces can break off and get lodged in the windpipe and stomach for days. If your the puppy chews the wrong things, try Bitter Apple (clear, odourless liquid) and spray or rub it on furniture, cords, shoes, etc. in the pups absence. It is to divert her attention to the right things rather than to correct the pup. Correct your pup only if they persists in chewing the wrong things. This breed is intelligent and stubborn - they very quickly learn all the ways to get negative attention, no hitting. good behavior give rewards. Foods-great choice would be Canidae check the label. |
