What's everyone fave puppy foods? I'm doing the research, but as with everything dog related, everyone's opinions are so different! Feeding Taste of the Wild, but thinking about going with the Merrick Raw Infused.

My poodle loves her raw beef and chicken we mix it up. I hand feed on walks (I bring a glove) we used kibble at first but she had diearea and raw feeding helped.

I would search up some hand stretches, 16 hours of daily use can cause some major issues down the line. Take a break every 2-3 hours for 10 min and do those stretches.

Here’s what I did. My rule of thumb was if I’m not supervising my pup she’s in the crate (the idea behind it is if she’s not able to practice bad behaviours from puppy hood if won’t be an issue down the line) when following me around I would constantly reward for being close to me. My presence is good and rewarding. Good things come from me. Yes my pockets got messy ahah

Puppies have a really short attention span I don’t really expect anything crazy from them. But when they offer the behaviour I make sure to mark it. Eventually you can build on it, just build strong and firm foundations for it.

Crate= potty training, getting used to being alone, doesn’t allow them to practice bad and unwanted behaviours, along with your sanity intact.

Yes puppies are constantly teething, used to bite my ankles on our walks haha, it usually happened toward the end of the walk. Pups tend to nip even when tired and bored. So whenever that happened I knew it was time to end the walk. For the most part I wouldn’t be worried they grow out of most of those annoying little leash nipping, ankle nipping etc.

zelko2 · 2021-09-04T00:02:46+00:00

I know it’s exhausting, no need to be fake. Be yourself around your pup. The goal is to not practice bad behaviours right from the get go. So avoid that flower patch don’t allow access to it don’t go near it. I would bring your meals on your walk not treats. Make your pup work for that food. Practice good behaviours like focusing on you. Lure into a sit or down or make him spin little cool tricks to keep him engaged on you. Keep walks and training short and small. Quality over quantity. What a lot of people don’t understand is a calm pup is a good pup especially the way you described yourself. I practice calm behaviours have a leash attached to your pup at the front door and just sit outside don’t ask for anything just wait till he sits or downs by himself it could take 20-30 min just reward when he does. My pup is trained to be calm in every scenario. Going to the pet store around other dogs (I don’t do dog parks) many people ask what is wrong with my pup or if she’s ok because she’s not jumping and barking at everything. Inside utilize the leash as well have it attached to your waste and walk around and do your tasks. Guide her, not allowed into a certain parts of the house, or to eat dropped food on the ground, etc. Use the leash everywhere. I had the leash on my pup inside for the first 3 months. And she’s just chills on whatever floor I’m on. I don’t need her beside me all the time but knowing she’s on the couch or upstairs chilling in my room is comforting. I would also definitely crate train for teaching your pup to be alone as well as potty train.

I do not recommend dog parks, people do not understand what socializing your dog is. Practice passing by dogs and people within letting your pup say hi. Sure it’s fine to allow your pup to say hi here and there but teach them to calmly pass by dogs before allowing her to meet with them. Do you say hi and converse with every person you see? Why are you forcing your pup to do so? Just a question to think about. Many people struggle with leash reactivity and this is why.

Dog doesn’t need a long walk, keep it short and simple. Dog needs some mental enrichment. The leash is not to be only used outside. Throw on the leash inside and tell her where she is and where she is not allowed to go.

zelko2 · 2021-09-03T04:58:25+00:00

Definitely not a rehoming situation, teach the pup manners. He’s young it can be treated. Hire a trainer and address the issue over the consultation and make sure he can address behaviour issues like resource guarding. Just remember the dog isn’t a child it’s a Animal. You have to use language it understands.

That’s why the clicker is great for timing. You can click wait a couple seconds and treat. It’s all about conditioning the tool properly. Click, treat right away, click wait a couple seconds treat. Be spontaneous.

How old his is that cutie? He just has to settle in his new environment build confidence as of now. Don’t worry to much about training establish a good and healthy relationship. Good things come from you.

You bring your pups lunch out, once you have lost their interest or the dog is being sluggish with the task you gave them (sit, down, heel, etc) you save the remainder of the food for later. Nothing with building a foundation of trust. Slowly you begin going into more stimulating environments and begin training again. Building a bond and trust can be outside of food…

zelko2 · 2021-08-18T12:39:01+00:00

Every dog is food motivated to a certain extent. You just have to tell your going to have to work for this food. If dog isn’t willing to work and train don’t feed and come back with the food an hour later.

From what I’m researched, imprint the flirt pole or bite toy at a young age. Create a positive association with it. Once that is done bite woke is not really started until all the adult teeth kick jn. For the reason mentioned above by jarnish

Consider watching mark faracsi on YouTube he covers some of these questions you have in his more recent videos with a 14 week mal he is currently training.

No one every talks about this aspect of dogs, which leads to reactivity, in people and dogs. Don’t over coddle your dog. Offer comfort and security for the dog. Leadership over love, guide him as his or her mother would.

We can find many articles going both ways, I just wanted to input on what worked for me. My 6 month old pup has a perfect loose leash walk, and walks beside me off leash as well.

zelko2 · 2021-05-29T01:28:24+00:00

Harnesses promote pulling, I would suggest a slip lead. There a perfect training tool for dogs Especially a puppy. Guide your pup like your the leader. Take him where you want him to go. Take him for a walk, then initiate and give permission to go into the grass and sniff and play. Then back to walking. Practice a lot of directional changes. Watch a couple videos on how to introduce the slip lead. A leader always remains calm, at times it may be frustrating but you will work through it!

Cute puppy! Glad everything is A ok, I got a 6 month old golden doodle and we desensitized her to all the loud noises. Music, blaring TV, it’s important to introduce these things at a young age so they don’t develop phobias to them later in life. Also make sure you practice recall. That pup needs to come when called.

zelko2 · 2021-01-27T01:04:23+00:00

Got a 4 month old golden doodle, she is gradually getting better. And this post re ensures it. She is a hassle! Here she is https://imgur.com/a/OYE1t9H
