Dog Training Tips

Dogs naturally jump up when they are excited – this is natural!  This is typical doggy behavior, though, not awesome for humans to have to endure.  And not to mention, if your doggy  is really big, it can just plain hurt if he knocks you over. And you wanna stop your dog jumping!

As a social animal, your doggy  is naturally going to get really happy when you get home or when you’re outside playing. They really give it all they got because they are just so darn HAPPY. However, if they are to be correctly socialized in a human family, they must be taught not to do so and if you can catch it right away, the better, but if not, it still can be discouraged and stopped totally if done correctly.

Some Little Dog Training Secretss To End The Madness

Most times it is we who are the culprits for doggy  jumping.  Because when they are little puppies we let them jump up because they’re so cute – so from the beginning, we have set a precedent for jumping up. Then the puppy grows up into a big doggy  that bowls you over every time you get home [from work].

So if no jumping is what we want, we gotta create a policy whereby no jumping is accepted.

Be sure to be consistent on all levels that no jumping is allowed.  So tell all your friends and family not to let the doggy jump up.  Don’t have mom and dad saying no to the jumping dog and the children allowing it – your doggy  will only get confused and the training will fail.

Make Sure Everyone In The House Knows Not To Let The Dog Jump Up.  And When They Are Ready Teach Your Family The Following Strategies For No Jumping.

* Another way is to hold his paws when he jumps up. Don’t squeeze too hard, just hold steady. Your doggy  hates this and he will struggle to get away. Then, release the doggy while saying ‘Off’. Dogs hate having their paws held onto. So be consistent in this training and your doggy won’t want to jump up of his own volition!

And as his paws touch the ground, provide him with loads of love and praise to let him know it’s better to be on the ground.

Sometimes before the doggy is completely trained, she’ll forget and jump up when excited. Just spend a brief moment with these training techniques, and your dog will very quickly get the point.

This often becomes an important question asked by many dog lovers and dog owners. If it is a puppy within age of the first six weeks, the puppies need to be given milk at the rate of five to seven times per day. The puppy will make some sound if it wants to feed in general.

However, the feeding frequency may be reduced when the dog becomes six to eight weeks old. By the time the dog assumes the age of four weeks, it may start taking of some solid food. Hence, mix the solid food with water in majority and feed your puppy once or twice in the beginning and if the dog develops some diarrhea, then delay the feeding.

Most of the times, it is due to trial and error but taking some basic steps in feeding, so you need to watch out. The feeding frequency may be changed to two to three times after the assumption of age of eight weeks. However, if the dog is seen hungry craving for food, then provide food once than the estimated numbers. This varies with different breeds of dogs.

However, avoid feeding too many times in this age group of dogs. Around three months to six months of age, the puppy will be teething. Hence, restrict the feeding to two times only but the balanced type of nutrition needs to be provided to the dogs of this age group to avoid the deficiency based symptoms in them.

From six months to one year, try using puppy food that is available commercially. However, from first year onwards, the adult food may be given gradually. However, when the dog becomes an elder dog, restrict the frequency of feeding since the movements of such adult dogs are highly reduced due to multiple reasons. However, the pregnant animal may be fed an extra time depending on the willingness of the animal and restrict the quantity of the food but without compromising on the quality of food.
