Don’ts for New Pet Parents When Look After a Puppy

Don’ts for New Pet Parents When Look After a PuppyPuppies are beyond adorable, but let's face it — raising a puppy is fraught with challenges. If you've never had a puppy before, the task before you can seem quite daunting, and once those big puppy eyes capture your heart, there's no turning back. Here are some helpful tips to get through the puppy development stage and ensure your new four-legged baby grows up into a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. This can be troublesome if the dog is brought to become an emotional support animal through an emotional support animal letter.Pet parents should research on training their pup and taking care of him/her. They should also be open to consulting a professional puppy and dog trainer. Good puppy rearing allows for the character of the pup to blossom in a safe environment. It doesn’t encourage you to be overprotective of your pup. Instead, it focuses on familiarizing the pup with different kinds of situations from early on, so that the pup won’t be anxious and cause no problem for him/herself and the pet parent.Don’t spoil your puppy with treatsKeep in mind that treats should be given to your pup when he/she is training. Each task in the training done correctly followed by a treat reinforces the correct technique or act. As your pup gets trained you have to reduce the number of treats that your pup receives.Many people give the pup treats with no reason at all. What they might think as their show of affection to their pup actually instills bad habits from early on, such that it is hard for the dog to eat a nutrition-balanced diet later on. Accustomed to this bad habit the pup will soon whine, cry, beg for the treats, and if you give in to this incessant whining then you are enforcing yet another bad habit.Don’t contradict yourselfLet’s say you don’t want your dog to enter the kitchen, as you don’t want your dog or pup to snoop around edibles and damage crockery. For the first couple of times when your pup enters the kitchen, you scold him/her and carry him outside. Then on another day either a different person or you yourself let the pup in (as it was whining) and even gave him/her a few nibbles of some treats. But then next time around you scold your pup again.This change of rules affects the pup and makes him/her confused such that the habits that you want to instill are not fully absorbed by the pup.Don’t let the pup be rough during playtimeThe ideal time to bring home a new puppy is when the house is quiet. Discourage friends from stopping by and don't allow overnight guests. First, establish a daily routine and follow these steps:Step 1: Before bringing him in the house, take him to the designated potty area in your yard and spend a few minutes there. If he goes, praise him. Be sure to take him to this spot each time he potties.Step 2: Take him to the room with his crate. This restricted area will serve as his new "den" for several days. Put bedding and chew toys in the crate, leave the door open, and line the area outside of the crate with newspaper in case of an accident. Let him investigate the crate and the room. If he chews or urinates on his bedding, permanently remove it from the crate.Step 3: Observe and interact with your puppy while he's getting used to his new den. This will help forge a sense of "pack" and establish you as the pack leader.If you ignore this behavior while the pet is a pup, you are in for serious trouble and rough playing sessions when the pup grows into a grown dog. By then your pet dog wouldn’t know what s/he is doing wrong when you play a game, for example, the game of tug.It will take you significantly more effort and time to correct this habit and tone down the aggressiveness once the pup is an adult. Don’t give up on the trainingMany pet parents fail to train their pet pups, either due to lack of expertise or knowledge or due to the pup. They often let the pup without any training. The outcome of this is that it grows to be an untrained and troublesome pet dog. If your dog is an emotional support animal then this situation will get you more anxious. It is best to use professional help when you can’t seem to train your dog on your own. You can train it at a local training center or hire an individual to do so.For More Information Visit: https://www.realesaletter.com/sample-esa-letter
