Bringing That
Sweetest Little 'Puppy' Home
by Javier Fuller
The cutest dog you must have seen is not of any certain breed and if you
think hard enough you'll find that the cutest and prettiest of dogs are not
actually dogs; they are puppies.
There is nothing quite as cut
as a little doggy. He jumps around like a furry tennis ball. Energetic,
bubbly and happy, it ever seems so pleased, so unbothered and so unperturbed
by the worries of life and living. A ball of happy innocence. What else do
you need to relax after a hectic day of work. No massage in the world can
relax you as completely as the very sight of little doggy. And if you have
kids, nothing like it. They make the best picture together- little ones
playing together.
So far as training is
concerned, puppies are best pupils because they learn quickly and without
their personal prejudices. Now if you are ready to get a puppy for yourself
you may rush to the nearby pet store to check if they have anything that
catches your fancy. It is best to bring in a puppy in the morning so that it
gets enough time to get used to its surroundings before it's bedtime.
Do not leave the puppy alone
for long durations immediately after having brought him home. The little one
should not be left alone at home from day two because it is likely to sadden
him a lot. The fellow would miss its companions a lot after being separated
from them. So, make sure that someone is there to take care of it when you
are not around.
These little things have a
simple life, especially those who have just weaned. All they do is
eat-sleep-play, eat-sleep-play. Nothing else. Take care that you have his
little sleeping bed ready when he feels tired because the fellow is likely
to stretch right there where it feels tired. Cuddle it and take it to his
bed and lay him there. Eventually, he will get into the habit of coming
around to sleep where he wakes up regularly.
Feeding is important too
because they are frequent eaters in the beginning. A 12 week old puppy eats
four times a day. When it is 12 weeks to 6 months old, you may reduce it to
3 times a day. Between six months and one year of age, it would be happy
with one meal a day, of course depending upon the overall size and weight of
it.
And don't forget the puppies
are much like children. Scold them gently and praise them profusely. That's
the best way to train them.
