Introduce your dog to the family

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:19:14 +0000

If your family is as excited as people usually are when a new pet is coming home, they would have lined up a reception committee! But warm as the welcome they want to give, it’s a good idea to be a little toned down in your reception. This is because the dog’s nerves might be a little frayed from the separation from his mother and littermates, the journey in the car and the unfamiliarity of his new surroundings. Loud noises and too many people might scare him and a scared puppy means more involuntary leaks! Keep your family calm and tell them not to crowd the dog. Here’s what you need to do:

Hold your dog and allow your family members to pet him. If the children are old enough, teach them how to hold him by supporting the whole length of the dog’s body rather than yank his arms.
Talk to your dog and use his name and the family member’s name to introduce him. Talk to your dog as if you would to a human child. Say your dog’s name is Fifi then this is how you would do the introductions—“Fifi, meet Julia”.

Being the alpha

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:01:43 +0000

Make sure that you act like the leader. Every dog needs to look up to his owner and see a person who can be respected and loved. Once they look up to you, it will make sense to them that your word must be obeyed.

You can gain your dog’s loyalty by using a commanding voice and being consistent and setting a routine that is regulated by you not your dog.
You should be in charge of ordering his life by deciding where he sleeps, or sits or when he plays and when he goes for walks.
Show your dog affection when you want to pet him and not when he demands it. Your dog shouldn’t demand a walk from you or a snack—he or she should earn the walk, snack or reward as well as your affection.

It’s Just You and Your Dog

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:51:01 +0000

It’s not the name of a movie yet but it sure could be! Housetraining really is about how you and your dog connect. Your relationship with your dog will set the pace of how quickly your dog will get trained. You need to have the right balance of love, firmness and structure. If you are loving to the point of coo chi cooing indulgence, then you can be sure that you aren’t going to have much success with housetraining routines. Your dog as a puppy is very impressionable—if you put him on your lap all the time, let him have more than a couple of accidents in the house and
even then let him sleep in your bed—you can rest assured that he is not going to outgrow that pattern.

However, if you swing over to the other side and wield a whip—you aren’t going to create much of an impression either. The dog will be cowed down all right, but do remember that fear instills resentment. Your dog is most likely going to be defensive, disobedient and the way he will show it first is by defying the rules of housetraining.

Unnecessary dominance over you dog, handicaps all your efforts to housebreak him or her. You need to strike a balance between the two extremes of blind adoration and a rigid show of power. As you do with your kids, you need to deal out a little tough love to your newest family member. He or she should know that you are there for him or her, but you are not there to be taken for granted. It calls for being the alpha to your dog. It calls for being the leader of the pack and blending in the love with being the provider of food, shelter and the overall protection of those down the ranks.
