How to breed a puppy



After you get a new puppy, next step is knows how to breed them to have a good health for in the future they will growth to be a nice and healthy dog.

After you bring him into your house, if a puppy didn’t dirty too much you should not bathe him in that time. You should give him a time to make himself more familiar with a new place. And before the seller brings a puppy to sell, they must bathe a puppy and make a puppy look beautiful enough for easy selling. And first day that you bring a puppy to your house, let a puppy rest first. Don’t think that you have to play with him and make him play with you. Remember that this puppy is belongs to you already and will stay with you for a long time. Waiting until your puppy is ready and strong enough is not too late. First thing that you should give him to eat is “Water”, but don’t force a puppy to drink. When a puppy is ready he will drink by himself, sometimes a puppy will vomit. Don’t be alarmed may be a puppy got effect from travel, but if in next day a puppy still vomit or look like he got illness. Quickly bring a puppy to see a veterinarian to checking his health. After that when a puppy is ready, he will start playing or doing something a puppy will do by his natural. When you bring a puppy into your house, a puppy will be apprehensive causes by a new place. You should breed him with a lot of love and care. Because a new place may be make a puppy feel lonely cause by left from his mom. And when a puppy do something wrong, you should try to understand him. Don’t try to punish or scold him, because scold or hit him will make him impress and will not make him obedience. It will make a puppy try to against to you. If you want to punish him or want him to know that this thing that he have done is wrong, you can do it by Told him the word “No” or pull his skin behind his neck, it will make him know that don’t do that again. But a puppy has a very short memory, in this time a puppy can compare to a human baby. And sometime a puppy can’t control himself, so you need to give him sometime. Now you need to make him know that you are his owner, this time is very important for a puppy to growth into a good dog. About a puppy food when his teeth didn’t growth up enough, you can give him a liquid food until his teeth is growth enough to give him a normal food. You can check his teeth by use you finger into his mouth, if a puppy can make you feel hurt it’s mean his teeth is growth enough. And don’t give him a lot of food, give him a little first, because a puppy didn’t know his limit and sometime he will eat too much and he will get some stomach problem. Wish all my knowledge can help you.

The Importance Of Dog Obedience


Dog Obedience is very important for both owner and dog. Obedience helps an owner and puppy to bond. When training your dog it is important to remember that you are not trying to brainwash your dog into complete submission. You are strengthening the bond between you and your puppy while at the same time teaching him acceptable behavior. By helping him to understand, you’re helping yourself to become less worried about leaving him alone with your favorite sweater or the brand new carpet you just had put in.

Dog obedience is very important especially training the puppy to obey at an early age. Puppy’s tend to rip things apart, pull up plants, potty everywhere etc. These things can all be taken care of with training your dog to be obedient.

One of your very first lessons to your dog/puppy should be to teach him communication, this will make other tasks such as sit, stay, and come easier for you to teach. When teaching a puppy commands such as sit, stay, and come, make the commands loud and clear and repeat those commands often. A constant reminder to your dog will make him remember quickly. This will help the obedience process to be very successful.

An aggressive dog will need more constant attention in training techniques. When teaching your dog obedience especially an aggressive dog who wants to chase the mail man or eat the UPS man, you must make it known to the dog that you are king and your dog must follow the kings instructions or there will be no rewarding to your puppy.

When training a dog to be obedient, remember rewarding your puppy/dog is always a big part of teaching your puppy/dog to obey. Puppies are like children in the respect that physical rewards work best. Praise works as well but a treat may catch their attention a little better.

Obedience training will help you build a lasting and loving relationship with your puppy/dog.

Human Food For Your Golden Retriever


Now that you have got your golden retriever home, it is important to pay enormous attention to his daily needs. Diet is very important for the health of your golden retriever. Well, we would all feed our favorite pets dog food, but even pets can prefer variety in their platter. And it is not a bad idea to opt for human food for your golden retriever.

Golden retrievers, or any pets for that matter, love attention showered on them. So, if you are having a sumptuous dinner and your golden retriever is salivating next to you, it is not a bad idea to make him sample some food.

Many a times, golden retrievers communicate in an interesting manner. If your pet expresses excessive fondness with the refrigerator, he may be communicating his interest in some particular food that is stored in the refrigerator. As we all know dogs have a great sense of smell, and it would not be easy to hide a delicious food item from him. Human food, when served with a little caution may actually be good for the golden retriever. However, it would not be a wise idea to feed him table scraps. That way, you’d be spoiling your golden retriever.

Of course, you’d have to make a conscious choice of what is appropriate and what is not for your golden retriever. Human foods for your golden retriever may or may not be suitable for it. Here are some may - have and should - not - have human food for your golden retriever -

"May – Have" human food for your golden retriever

Most of these food groups are beneficial for us, but the golden retriever may just benefit from and enjoy them. They would provide the appropriate nutrients along with the variety that your pet would like-

- Brown Rice –Rich in fiber content, they are good for your golden retriever.

- Chicken/ Egg yolk/egg shells/ raw eggs – Rich in protein, this human food is also good for them

- Raw Vegetables

- Turkey – You need to exercise caution with this. If the strips are too hard, your pet can choke on it.

- Oatmeal

- Fruits – With the exception of grapes and raisins.

"Should – Not – Have" human food for your golden retriever

- Egg Whites – This usually results in biotin deficiency (Vitamin B) due to the presence of avidin. Hence avoiding egg whites is best for your golden retriever.

- Onions and garlic

- Chocolates – Bromine in chocolates can lead to toxicity in dogs and cats. Even if you opt for the un-sweetened variety, you may not be doing your golden retriever any good. Hence it is best to avoid chocolates completely.

It is better to always consult a veterinarian. Your vet may be right person to recommend the right diet for your golden retriever. He will also be able to suggest what foods should be avoided. It may not be very wise to experiment with human food for your golden retriever, unless you are sure about the effect of the same.
