How To Avoid The Most Common Mistakes In Raising Dogs
By Dencho Denchev
Dogs do not come with an instruction manual around their necks. Dogs need time, patience, and understanding. Therefore new owners need information to train, and help cope with the difficulties of the newest member of the family.
Common mistakes in raising dogs:
1.Not enrolling with the in "obedience school".
In any good school you can expect your to learn basic commands and proper behavior. "Heel!", "Sit!", "Stay", and "Come!" are all examples of these commands. The will learn how to associate with other animals and people. Don't make the mistake of sending your to obedience school alone. If you do, you will have a more obedient to the teacher, instead of you.
2.Self-training using improper techniques.
Physical punishment and yelling are not good methods of training. The best methods are stimulation and reward for good behavior. This way the will be motivated to carry out commands because it knows it will receive attention and maybe a yummy treat. For this to work, it is important to be patient and consistent.
3.Not researching breed characteristics.
When choosing a dog, do not judge by appearance alone. Take some time to do research on several breeds, to find one that will make a good match for you and your family. If you have a small apartment, for example, a large may be a poor choice.
4.Leaving your alone in your yard.
Dogs are social animals and naturally live in packs. Spend plenty of time with your outside. Play together, make your yard a fun place, not a doggie prison! If your is not active enough, is bored, gains weight, gets sick, gets into all kinds of mischief, barks too much, or bites: It is your job to understand why it is happening and make it better.
5.Not giving the a a place of its own.
Dogs need an area that is only for them. When it gets nervous or scared it will have a place of refuge. Make it a comfortable place for your dog. It doesn't have to be fancy, just comfortable.
Just like people, every living creature has times when it just
wants to be left alone to sleep or relax
6.Letting the think it is in charge.
