How to get new puppy unshy!!!?
Dogs just like people have very different personalities. My guess is that you got the puppy before he was 11 weeks old. There is a developmental time around 11 weeks that puppies experience how to deal with fear better. They need their litter mates to help them do this. Now, if it did not happen, there are many ways to help your puppy not be scared. Don't yell, rush up on it, shake things, etc. Over time they will learn to trust you.
Can newborn puppies get parvo virus?
You need to get mom away from the area where parvo was. Her newboorns will be covered by her immunity through her milk, but are at high risk from about 5 weeks on. The pups are still at risk until they have had their 3rd shot at 10 weeks. Give them a straight parvo shot at 6 weeks, and again at 8 weeks, and then the combination shot at 10 weeks. I have successfully raised puppies after having parvo in my home, but it was a lot of work to keep them totally away from where the parvo pups had been..and we had to wear shoe covers when we entered their area, as parvo will track in from anywhere you walk.. I had a large house, so it was doable, but not easy. The vet gave my puppies a tiny parvo shot at 4 weeks, but it was only a fraction of a full dose. It was only to get the immune system 'tickled,' as he put it, so the future shots might work faster.
How to get fleas off of newborn puppies?
My pitbull had puppies on the 20th of August, making her puppies 8 days old, they haven't even opened their eyes yet, and the puppies are INFESTED with fleas! I mean, excessive amounts of them. You can see sooo many of them in just a small area of their body, like a leg. I feel so bad for them, because they are constantly twitching, and they aren't even strong enough to scratch with their hind legs, so, any ideas on how to get fleas off of puppies? We keep them inside, and we dont want our couches or even our selfs to catch them. Can we bathe them? or what? PLEASE HELP!
When you get a new puppy, what should be the top training priorities?
The name. Every dog needs to know his name. You must use the dog's name constantly and consistently with no variation and no relief. All training that follows will depend on the dog understanding that he or she is being addressed because your words follow his own name.Yes and no. The two clearest expressions of human satisfaction and dissatisfaction in dog behavior are yes and no. But they can take and form, as long as they are tonally appropriate (for me and my dog, they are טוב and לא). Yes should mean that you like, accept, appreciate, tolerate, commend, endorse or praise whatever the dog is doing at that instant. No should mean that you reject the dog's behavior at that instant or find it intolerable, not preferable or odious in some way. By establishing Yes and No early, you're giving your dog the building blocks of the communication that you will later use for real training.What to chew. Puppies, like babies, explore in part by putting things in their mouths and biting down on them. Dogs must be taught at a very young age that some things are acceptable targets for chewing and some things are not. Provide lots of options for things that can be chewed, and use Yes to reinforce when the dog chews on them. If the dog strays and chews something that isn't meant to be chewed, use No.
My Old Dog Doesn't Get Along With New Puppy?!?
First off do not force the puppy on the older dog, give it time to get used to having the puppy around and see that nothing in its life has changed and it gets the same amount of care, attention, play, training and time spent being enjoying its company as before the household dynamic changed when you introduced a new dog. Adding a second dog is generally for the benefit of the humans not the dog, as many would be happy living in a one dog household, with the attention not split and resources not split two ways. Some dogs will get along with or at least tolerate the presence of another dog, but in some cases that does not happen and the dog that was there first shows aggression or is miserable, not wanting to having anything to do with the new arrival and avoiding it. Puppies are bothersome to other dogs, playing rough, charging around and not giving the other dog any peace and that should not be allowed. The older dog growling is “saying” cut it out that is disrespectful behavior and if it does not go any further than a warning air snap (unintentional contact can happen, but that is not a bite), then all the pup is learning is how far it can go before its told off and shown its place is below the other dog. Give your older dog plenty of time away from the puppy to rest and when it is just you and her, doing whatever she enjoys. Too soon after three days to know if things will settle down (it once took two weeks for one of my dogs to accept that a puppy was a permanent part of the household and stop leaving the room as soon as she walked in and allow her to share the same space on the floor as him) Correct your older dog is she oversteps the mark and air snaps/growls when the puppy is doing nothing wrong, being in the same room or having a cuddle (she is being possessive over you and does not like what is happening), but at the same time be fair on the older dog and do not expect her to put up with a hooligan puppy jumping on, nipping at, attempting to take a toy she has or her food or bother her when she is resting.
