All about the dog’s addiction to the new owner

When a dog appears in the house, the life of its owner changes radically. Most often, this event is a conscious choice. But there are different circumstances when a dog has to be taken away as an adult from the previous owner or is it a foundling, to whom they decided to give shelter. In any case, the dog will have to get used to the new environment. Yes, and its owner will also have to make every effort. Therefore, it will be useful to learn all about the dog’s addiction to the new owner.

When the whole family decides to buy a puppy, they prepare for this event, acquire all the necessary things, equip the necessary places for sleeping, eating, and a toilet, if necessary. But the baby is taken from the family where he was born and grew up. He was used not only to the mother dog, but also to certain conditions. Therefore, the puppy will be sad for a while at the new place. But adaptation and getting used to the new owner will be successful if the owner adheres to some rules.

• From the first days, you need to surround the new family member with care and attention. Ideally, the owner would be nice to take a vacation to teach the puppy to the new rules.
• If the puppy is fully vaccinated, you need to go for walks more often. Animals always like them. The more you walk, the less puddles there will be at home.
• It should be faster to determine the dog’s nutrition - it will be dry food or food specially prepared for it. But the first few days should be given the food that the puppy is used to, gradually replacing it with the chosen option, if necessary.
• The kid needs to be provided with enough toys so that he has something to do, he does not get bored and does not spoil furniture and things.
• Another important point that will allow the puppy to feel more comfortable is the thing from the house where he was before. You can grab bedding, a toy from there. At first, the puppy will be calm with her, and after several days she will not be needed and can be thrown away or left, this is at the owner’s discretion.

The puppy can get used to the owner and the house very quickly if the owner is patient and friendly, does not shout at the dog, and even more so use physical force if it makes a noise or makes a mistake. In any case, with the advent of a small pet, a difficult and long work is ahead, for this you need to be prepared and be patient. All takes time.

It is much more difficult to tame an adult dog, which was "inherited" for various reasons. She is used to the previous owner and will be bored. In addition, the dog has its own character, which also needs to adapt. Here you need to adhere to the golden mean. And although adult dogs get used to new conditions for a long time, there is a chance to speed up this process, if you behave correctly, following a few simple recommendations.

• In the early days, you should not require the animal to execute all kinds of commands. Need to give him time to adapt. The owner should feed the dog, walk with her. Perform all that is necessary.
• It should be shown to the dog where its place to rest and eat. Talk should be gentle, but imperious. The pet should feel that he is well treated, but he must obey.
• It is necessary to carry out all the necessary hygienic procedures: clean your ears, treat your eyes, comb out the hair.
• It’s harder to tame an evil dog. But even in this case, one cannot show aggression towards the dog, it will not become kinder from this. Step by step, only a good attitude can win the trust of the dog. Sometimes you have to look for a way to the heart of the dog through the stomach, encouraging its good behavior with some goodies.
• You need to walk more with the dog, play with her. This will help bring the new owner and pet closer, because almost all dogs love walks and games.
• If the dog is inherited from a specific owner with whom there is a connection, then this will greatly help in adapting the dog. After all, you can find out what the dog’s name is, what habits he has, how to care for him, how to feed him.

But it also happens that the dog was brought into the house by the children or the owner himself could not pass the dog who was in trouble. If the house has a mongrel, it can be somewhat easier, because, as practice shows, homeless animals that find a roof over their heads and human friends are very grateful. And since dogs are smart animals, they quickly accept the rules that they are offered, especially if the owner takes care, feeds, cares and walks.

If there was an unfortunate dog in the house who needs medical attention, this is also a big responsibility, because he also needs to be cured, the necessary procedures done, money spent on medicines. But then it will be a devoted friend for life.

If a stray dog ​​or puppy appears in the house, the first thing to do is perform the following manipulations:

• examine the pet for fleas and display them using special tools;
• wash it well, dry and comb out the coat;
• purchase at the veterinary pharmacy special worm remedies and be sure to give the pet;
• after which you need to do all the necessary vaccinations, which ones and in what sequence - the veterinarian will tell you, who must be visited.

Further care is no different from the contents of an ordinary pet.Friendship with the new owner will arise much faster if the owner will spend more time with the dog, encourage him, praise, if he does everything right. Moreover, not only treats are important for the dog, but also praise in words. Although the first time, of course, you can’t do without delicacies.

Each of these situations has its minuses and pluses. But in any case, if a dog appears at home, the main thing is to make friends with her faster. The pluses are that a friend, a guard, a defender, just a positive creature will appear in the house, it all depends on the breed. But when the dog gets used to the new owner, she will look forward to his house, enjoy communication with him and will always strive to please him.

The disadvantages include the fact that the dog can go through a period of adaptation for a very long time if, for example, it has a rather complex character, a difficult past in which it may have been offended. Then it will not be easy to gain the trust of the animal, you will have to move in small steps.
