Sie haben einen Welpen. Glückwünsche! Ist jetzt die Zeit, Verhaltenprobleme im Erwachsensein zu verhindern. Viele ernste Ausgaben können verhindert werden, indem man richtig Ihren Welpen anhebt. Mehr Hunde sterben jedes Jahr in den Vereinigten Staaten wegen der Verhaltenprobleme als wegen aller ansteckenden kombinierten Krankheiten. Stellen Sie sicher, daß Ihr Hund nicht eine unangenehme Statistik ist: Folgen Sie diesen fünf einfachen Spitzen, um einen behaviorally gesunden Hund anzuheben.

Berühren Sie ihn ganz der tägliche überschuß

Eine der einfachsten und wirkungsvollsten Weisen, zukünftige Verhaltenprobleme zu verhindern ist, ihn ganz über seinem täglichen Körper zu berühren. Bilden Sie es eine angenehme und lohnende Erfahrung. Kleine Hunde können in Ihrem Schoß sitzen; Hunde, die für Ihren Schoß an der Reife zu groß sind, sollten auf dem Fußboden oder ihrem Bett liegen. Preisen Sie Ihren Welpen und geben Sie ihm Festlichkeiten beim seinen Körper, von den Ohren leicht streichen alle vier Tatzen leicht zu massieren und zur Manipulierung seiner Beine. Haften Sie Ihre Finger in seiner öffnung und reiben Sie seine Gummis. Schlepper leicht auf seinem Endstück. Wenn Sie dies tun, das mit Ihren Händen täglich ist und ihn manchmal auch ganz rüber mit einer Bürste reiben, heben Sie einen Welpen an, der einfach sich zu pflegen und anzufassen ist und das nicht von den Kindern gestört wird, die ihn in den Weisen Erwachsenen anfassen möchten, nicht normalerweise tun. Welpen, die als ihr Erwachsenmantel befestigt werden, wächst in, wie Pudel, sollten Scherer auch gewöhnt werden, indem sie die Scherer (anfangs abgestellt worden) ganz über ihren Körpern reiben.

Verhindern Sie das Hilfsmittel, das mit Spielen schützt

Das schützende Hilfsmittel (Nahrungsmittel-/Spielzeugangriff) ist- ein ernstes dieses Problem Resultate in der Euthanasie vieler Hunde. Thankfully, you can prevent this, and play with your dog at the same time using two easy games. The first game is called “Grab Bag.”

To play Grab Bag, feed your pup (preferably when she’s not especially hungry, but is interested in eating) a small serving of dry kibble or, if she eats canned or raw, a bowl with some bland biscuits inside. Let her take a bite, then take the bowl away and turn away from her so she can’t see what you’re doing. Add something really yummy to the bowl, and give it back! Your pup will soon learn to be thrilled if you take her food away, because she’ll be getting a special treat. Never attempt Grab Bag with a dog that is already guarding its food; it’s a game to prevent, not treat, this serious behavioral condition.

The second game is called “Mine’s Better.” To play Mine’s Better, play with your dog with a boring toy that has a fairly low value to your dog. Then, pick up a toy that’s slightly higher in value to your dog, and wave it enticingly, cooing to your pup about how you have the better toy. She’ll drop the low value toy and stare at the higher value object. When she does this, praise her and immediately initiate a game with the high value toy. Ask her to make trades with you for other toys or for food several times a day, and you can eventually add a cue like, “Swap me,” to get any object away from her– your underwear, the trash, chicken bones– with the promise of another desirable item.

Train Every Day

Have at least one 15 minute obedience training session every day. If you run out of behaviors to teach your dog, get a book of tricks or work on improving how quickly he responds to each cue. Don’t overload a young pup with lengthy training sessions, and don’t use positive punishment on puppies. In fact, don’t use positive punishment at all. Research clicker training and start clicking with your dog young. It’s fun to look for ways to “catch your puppy being good!” Every training session is a chance to bond with your puppy, and the more behaviors he learns early, the easier it will be to teach him even more later in life.

Build Good Exercise and Socialization Habits Early

It’s never too early to start exercising your dog every day, especially if your puppy is of a high energy breed. While it is best to ask your vet before taking a dog that’s not fully vaccinated on walks in public, you can push her in a doggy stroller, providing good mental exercise and socialization through exposure to new sights and sounds. For physical exercise, indoor play and play in your yard can be plenty for a young pup. Fetching starts early with most dogs who retrieve naturally, and provides excellent exercise.

To socialize and exercise at the same time, go on a scavenger hunt. List 5-10 things that your pup has never seen but which are easily found, and go on a scavenger hunt for positive experiences socializing with these new stimuli. Some good examples to start with are a person using a wheelchair, an automatic sprinkler, a person wearing a large hat, a garden gnome, a revolving door, a fountain, a park bench, a person of a different race than your own, a loud stereo, and a squirrel. It’s perfectly acceptable to ask a stranger, “Would you please give my puppy this treat? We’re practicing socialization,” so long as you’re not offended if someone declines.

Encourage Appropriate Chewing

A frequently asked question about puppies is, “How do I stop my puppy from chewing?” The answer is, “You’re asking the wrong question.” Instead, you should be asking how to get your puppy to chew his toys, and only his toys. Chewing is mandatory for puppies. It’s part of both mental and physical development.

As soon as you bring a pup home, before he realizes your socks and couch are delicious, immediately reinforce chewing of his toys. Have lots of them and rotate toys every week so he doesn’t get bored. A great chew treat for a puppy is canned food frozen inside a properly sized Puppy Kong toy. The cold will soothe teething gums, the canned food is yummy, and the hard rubber holds up to power chewing. Every time you catch your puppy chewing an appropriate toy, praise him and offer a treat. In addition, instead of scolding if you do find him gnawing table legs or scarfing boxer shorts, redirect him by throwing a favorite toy horizontally across his line of vision, then praise him enthusiastically when he abandons the inappropriate target and chews his toy.
