Usually the puppy gets to the new house at the age of 2-3 months. At this age puppies are trustful, opened to the world, and are inquisitive. They are ready to be on friendly terms and play with each counter man or a dog. Puppies in every possible way show the friendliness: wag a tail so that all body shakes; urge to play, dropping to the earth; ask attention and caress, try lick in a muzzle each counter dog. Puppies observe rituals of a meeting younger and senior: the younger sits and waits, when the senior dog will approach the first. It can lay down, and even urinate to show that recognizes the superiority of the senior.
They are thus awfully curious. The puppy is ready to run, having forgotten all, having scented an interesting smell. It pries into all chinks, learns the world “on a tooth”. However at this age the puppy still is afraid to be lost and willingly runs to the owner if the owner calls him. During game the puppy suffices sharp teeth and toys, and hands of the man. Many puppies like to hunt for feet. For a puppy, but, nevertheless, the kid it is necessary to bring up this normal behavior from first day of stay in the house.
As it was already told, a puppy and so recognizes the physical superiority of the man. Besides, it is impossible to become angry about the mischievous person seriously. But if to do nothing, it is less than in half a year the small prankish will turn to the capricious teenager.
How to become authority on his eyes? The excellent way is the correctly to take advantage of walks. On walk you can meet very big dog whom the puppy can be afraid. Show that you are stronger: you are afraid of nobody; you are absolutely quiet, approach to get acquainted (provided that the counter dog is adequate and really safe). Thus the puppy let is in your feet. So you physically give to the puppy support, show that you together, you – flight. It is possible to sit down, as though covering the puppy with hands from sides. Praise it if he behaves easy; ignore its fear if he all the same is afraid. In this case do not calm and do not stroke a puppy.
Also it is easy necessary to approach to unfamiliar subjects. The earlier the puppy will get acquainted with a variety of the world, the better for it. Let will sniff at “terrible” shapeless bags with the dust, left yard keepers; show the example that the easel is safe, and the snow clod can even be destroyed. Do not force a puppy to approach force to a subject frightening it. Show to the kid the world: walk in new places, drive on public transport etc. Such actions ennoble you in the opinion of a puppy. It sees that you are all-powerful, always will find road home, with you it is safe.
During daily walks in habitual places think out various games. Then the puppy will consider you as devilishly inventive and interesting companion. Learn it to play at once only the toys, not to touch strangers. It in the future will save you from troubles which owners playful, but ill-bred dogs face. For example, from purchase of new footballs to all boys of a court yard during all warm season. The pupil as remains is more whole, if does not engage for a toy with other dog. So, after the toy of your puppy was dragged off by an adult dog, to select at which something a puppy is not capable, there can be a following. The puppy approaches to you to “complain”. You easy speak to other owner: “Forgive, but your dog took our ball”. “Rex, give a ball”, – the command sounds, and the ball gets and comes back to you. All it (as to you have according to your desire brought a ball) saw your puppy, your authority grows in the face of.
At home you also are all-powerful. The ball was gone under a sofa? You easily remove a sofa and get a toy. Only you can open a refrigerator and give a slice of tasty cheese. To get to the puppy of sterns and fill a bowl also the owner can only. Very interesting game is the search. At first the puppy can search for a delicacy slice, in the future a toy. It is possible to help it by search, showing to a hand in the necessary party or helping words when it is nearby, but cannot find (when the thing is hidden highly or closed by other subjects). When the puppy all the same finds, it remembers that to your words and gestures it is necessary to listen. You knew in advance, where a toy. Veterinary doctors advise to you to learn with the favorite more than the most different commands. Constant studying of new tricks draws to you interest (that else the owner will think up?), forces to offer the variants of decisions of problems, trains mind.
