Nickname training
At the beginning of the dog’s training, the owner pronounces its nickname and reinforces its performance with a treat. In the future, the puppy will get used to familiar sounds and will respond to the nickname without encouragement. You can not shout at the pet and talk to him with threatening intonations in his voice, the puppy will grow up nervous and cowardly.
One glance at the poodles is enough to understand that the nicknames of yard dogs will not suit them.
Features of care and education
Before acquiring a poodle, the family council must decide who will take responsibility for its maintenance and upbringing. The dog must know one owner who will feed, drink, wash, walk and train her. It can also be a teenager who can cope with the responsibilities for her care and maintenance. The rest of the family should help the owner of the pet, but only if necessary.
It is necessary to start raising a puppy from the first day of its acquisition. You need to talk with him calmly, without raising your voice, the pet should not feel the owner’s bad mood. First of all, the puppy must learn the rules of behavior in the house and on the street, it should be remembered that due to age, he quickly gets tired, so do not overdo it with the lessons.
You can’t use brute force to him, if the puppy doesn’t want to execute the command, you need to put his palm on the croup and lightly press it.
So that the acquisition of a dog in the future does not result in a feeling of frustration the best choice will be a small puppy, from which you can raise a good, intelligent dog. If you buy an adult dog with formed character traits, then it can have physical defects and bad habits. Having decided to get a puppy, you should not listen to the advice of neighbors and friends, it would be more correct to turn to professionals working in dog breeding clubs. Puppies are usually chosen at the age of three and four weeks, when their eyes are already open.
The first thing you should pay attention to is their appearance. Large puppies with well-developed head and paws have an advantage.
To determine the activity of the future dog, the puppies are carried some distance from the "nest", released and their behavior is monitored. Some rush right into place, others begin to inspect everything around with curiosity, the rest spin helplessly in one place.
The first 2 options are considered the most suitable for selection. You can deviate from the rules and take any puppy, he will be loved no less.
