After the first two injections of vaccine, if necessary, you can boost the immunity once more and perform repeated injections (according to the vaccine usage requirements).
Special attention should be paid to the fact that as body weight increases, nutritional requirements increase, and calcium needs must be met at the same time. Otherwise, puppies are prone to rickets, which may lead to deformation of long bones in the limbs or swelling of joints, etc. "O" or "X" shaped legs. Large dogs of medium size or above should pay more attention to observe whether there are any changes in the shape of the front and rear limbs.

Dogs that are 5 months old still like to chew things randomly. Their destructive behavior should be stopped in time and some bites should be given. Bones allow it to grind its teeth. Dogs may occasionally urinate and defecate everywhere. This may be due to certain mental requirements being unsatisfied. For example, the owner often feels lonely when he is not at home, or he is mentally shocked after being severely scolded. If the place is unclean and cannot be cleaned, it will cause the dog to have "angry" behavior and so on. At this time, it is not only necessary to severely reprimand the dog, but also to consider whether the dog's requirements can be met, make improvements, and jointly correct this bad habit. Of course, prevention and treatment beforehand is the best training method.
The peak of doggy biting is at 6 months old. At this time, the dog's deciduous teeth fall out and permanent teeth grow in.
In the future, the chewing habit will ease. Before that, developing the habit of not chewing things will greatly reduce the owner's losses.
Therefore, the puppy must be educated to know what can and cannot be done.
Puppies aged 5 months usually defecate twice a day in the morning and evening. Later, as they continue to grow, they can be reduced to once a day. When it is 5 months old, it is best not to take it often for walks on the road to prevent infection. Let the dog on the balcony or courtyard, give it some toys, such as rubber balls, artificial bones, etc., and let it play and exercise freely.
When the dog reaches 6 months of age, it can be put on a collar and a drawstring to go outdoors for a walk.
At the beginning of a walk, many dogs are timid and unwilling to walk. Take her out first to find a quiet place to stay for a while, then let her walk back. After doing this a few times and getting used to it, she was willing to go out for a walk.
The appropriate walking time is once in the morning and evening. Generally, each walking time is 10 minutes for small dogs, 20-30 minutes for medium-sized dogs, and 1 hour for large dogs.
After developing the habit of walking, the dog will regard walking as a pleasure and a necessary part of life.
Once the owner is a little lazy and does not take her out for a walk, it may cause body dysfunction. For example, some dogs may have adverse reactions such as loss of appetite, constipation, or the inability to urinate. Therefore, it is the owner's responsibility to take the dog for a walk.
When going out for a walk, you should also prevent eating random things that may cause food poisoning. In addition, there are many opportunities for walking, and there are many opportunities to come into contact with external disease sources. Care should be taken to prevent infection by parasites, bacteria and viruses. Sometimes it is easy to get bitten or stabbed by foreign objects in fights with other dogs. As the dog ages, its strength also increases. Especially large dogs of medium size and above often pull people along when walking, so they should be corrected.
At this stage, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for routine health examinations once a month. The diseases that 5-month-old dogs are susceptible to include colds, gastroenteritis and canine distemper. Children aged 6 months are susceptible to colds, gastroenteritis, canine distemper, infectious hepatitis, parasitic diseases, rickets, etc. But after 4 and a half months, the body's disease resistance gradually increases and the disease will gradually decrease.
A 5-month-old dog can be bathed 2 to 3 times a month. In the future, the frequency of bathing can be increased, once a week in summer, 2 times a month in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. But be careful to prevent colds.
When training a dog, the contact between other people and the dog should be minimized. At the same time, the training personnel should try to be kind and speak kindly. In order to make a dog obedient, it is important to have a mutually dependent relationship between the human and the dog, which enables the dog to respond sincerely to human affection. Gently rubbing the dog's body will comfort the dog. When training, you should also pay attention to the fact that the password must be decisive and clear, and you must not use violence or beat with whips or sticks. Dogs especially like praise. If the training subjects taught to it can be completed well, it likes the owner to stroke its head or throat. But you can’t overindulge your dog.
Under normal circumstances, training is carried out in three steps.
The first stage lasts from 1 to 5 days.
First, put a leather collar on the dog. The collar must be able to be stretched and enlarged. The tightness of the collar around the neck should be such that four fingers can be inserted smoothly together. Then tie a 1.5 to 2 meter chain on the collar. Every time you feed your dog, feed it several times, and feed it 60% full each time. The dog's name must be fixed and cannot be changed at will. Every time you feed a little food, call its name, such as "Little Flower", "Little Black", "Little Yellow", etc.; or whistle before feeding and call its name again. But be careful, you must let it react before feeding. If there is no reaction, don't give food to it, but you can show it, call it by name, and wait until it responds to eating before feeding it. In this way, after 3 to 5 days of training, the dog will immediately respond to asking for food from the owner when he hears his name. Feeding should be scheduled and the same food bowl should be used, but the feeding location can be changed again and again. After feeding, you must stroke the dog's head or body with your hands, and gently call its name several times. After the above few days of training, the goal is that the dog can get close to people, initially know its own name, and initially get used to the collar and collar. The range of activities restricted by the chain.
The second stage lasts from 6 to 14 days. On the basis of the first stage of training, further use the food that the dog likes to eat, such as biscuits or dried meat, for training. The method is the same as before. At this stage, the dog can be led with a chain and allowed to walk with people to familiarize itself with the surrounding things and environment and reduce fear. If the dog struggles while being led, stop. At this time, you can touch its head and back with your hands, call its name, give it a small amount of food to induce it to follow, and never force it to move. This kind of training should be carried out before feeding food every day, starting with 2 to 3 minutes each time, and then slowly increasing to a maximum of no more than 15 minutes. Every time the leash training is completed, the dog is brought back to the kennel to be fed. If the dog circles around people and begs for food during feeding, the training staff must give a decisive command of "sit". When a dog sits down intentionally or accidentally, it must be fed food immediately. The command needs to be repeated 3 to 4 times for each feeding to cultivate its obedience. In order to cultivate the dog's friendliness, you can hold up its legs or raise its head and rub it against your own face so that it can gradually get used to it. Through the second stage of training, the dog can further learn its name, initially establish a close relationship with people, and initially learn to obey commands.
The third stage is 15 to 22 days. On the basis of the training in the previous stage, the dog can be picked up and played with its mouth. On the basis of the command "sit", you can force it to lie down. When the dog is disobedient, it can be lightly reprimanded. After obeying the command, the dog can be rewarded with a small amount of food, and the dog can be praised and said "good". At the same time, the dog can be stroked on the head and body continuously to give it a sense of warmth and intimacy. Through the third stage of training, the dog can basically open the chain, come to the owner after hearing its name in the field, and obey the owner to pick it up, lead it, break its mouth and give medicine, etc., and also know how to Words of reprimand and praise.
People who like to keep pets hope to keep more animals. Before you buy a rabbit, if you already have dogs at home, you need to pay more attention and give them some proper training. .
Dogs are naturally competitive animals. When the owner brings home a rabbit, he will definitely become jealous. In order for them to get along harmoniously, the owner can first put the dog in a cage and then talk to it gently. If it keeps barking, stop it by drinking. At the same time, bring the rabbit to the dog so that they can get familiar with each other first.
After that, put the dog on the left thigh and the rabbit on the right thigh so that they can get familiar with each other by smelling each other's scent and reduce each other's hostile attitude; finally, let them sit together Play around the house and build friendships through getting along. However, it should be noted that this method is only suitable for some small dogs. If you have large dogs at home, it is best not to try this!
1. I heard from a dog trainer that puppies usually poop about 30 minutes after eating or about 15 minutes after drinking water. You can pay special attention at this time. If you find your dog sniffing everywhere on the ground, please be extremely vigilant. He is looking for a place to go to the toilet. In addition, dogs usually excrete once (including PEE and poop) after waking up in the morning. After you see the dog wake up, take him to the place where you want him to go to the toilet, let him stay there for a while, and at the same time say "hurry up" and other commands to the dog in a special tone ( You must keep doing it and use this command often even when it gets bigger. The dog will really understand it and they will gradually understand that your command is urging him to go to the toilet.)
< p>2. Puppies urinate a lot, so most people like to let them go to the toilet on a paper changing pad or newspaper first. Some dogs will use paper changing pads, but some dogs hate them very much. My dog ??will tear the changing pad to pieces. So I ended up using newspapers.At the beginning, my dog ??didn’t know that newspapers were for him to excrete, so I used newspapers to absorb his poop, and then placed the one with the poop on many newspapers (about 7 , 8 pictures), don’t throw it away yet. Next time you see your dog sniffing everywhere, pick him up in time and put him on the newspaper. He will smell the dried newspaper. You need to Keep watch and if he runs out, catch him and put him in the newspaper. (You can spread the newspaper over a larger area at first, and then gradually reduce the size of the newspaper).
What you have to do after that is, whenever you see your dog going to the toilet (sniffing everywhere) or going to the toilet (in the wrong place), you should immediately pick him up and put him on the newspaper.
Leave a newspaper with his excrement on the paved newspaper every day. Generally, after a few days, the dog will know that it needs to be solved in the newspaper. After he gets familiar with it, congratulations, the first step was successful. You can put a clean newspaper every day, because the dog will know the smell of the newspaper to go to the toilet.
3. The next step is relatively simple. You need to slowly reduce the size of the newspaper (it can be from the size of two newspapers, to the size of one newspaper, to the size of half a newspaper. And you can slowly change the size of the newspaper. place, slowly move the newspaper towards the door. After the dog gets used to going to the toilet on the newspaper at the door, you can take the newspaper away. When the dog wants to go to the toilet, he will go to the door to look for the newspaper. When you see his After doing this, you should immediately go to the toilet for him.
4. Then you can choose 5 basically fixed times in the day to take the puppy out (preferably. 20 to 30 minutes after the dog has eaten), if the dog wants to go to the toilet outside of the 5 times, you will also need to take him out. These will be additional and not within the 5 times. After a while, the dog will know that those 5 times are for him to go to the toilet. Keep using the toilet command you gave him outside until he completes the task. You'd better touch him and give him a command. Your verbal encouragement and praise (such as: good boy, good boy, etc.) let them know that they have done the right thing.
Since dogs have a biological clock, it is best to keep the five times fixed. In this way, the dog will realize that he has to go to the toilet first when he goes outside. After the dog can fully use these 5 times to complete the excretion task and does not go to the toilet at home, you can continue to do this for a while, and then slowly increase the time from 5 to 5 seconds. (Generally, if the dog is still young and you want to feed him 4 times a day, take him out 5 times, once after getting up in the morning, and then take him out half an hour after each meal. *** 5 times. When your dog gets used to going to the bathroom outside, and as he grows older, the number of times you feed him becomes 3 times a day, then you can reduce the number of times he goes out to 3 times, which can be once in the morning and lunch. Once every half an hour, and then once before going to bed
5. After that, your dog may be able to go to the toilet regularly! It should be reminded that in the early days of training, take the dog out only. Give the dog up to 5 minutes to go to the toilet. If he does not move for 5 minutes, take him home and put him in the cage immediately. Let the dog know that if he does not go to the toilet outside, he will have no chance until next time. Wait until he goes out to have a chance.
There are some things you should pay attention to. Before your dog can hold it at home until you take him out to defecate, please put the dog in the cage. . But this does not mean that you should lock the dog up 24 hours a day. Dogs generally do not go to the toilet where they sleep, so there is only enough space in the cage for the dog to turn around and sleep. , the dog will go to the toilet anywhere in the cage except where he lies, and it will be troublesome to develop a habit.
It is recommended that you buy a cage that the dog can use when he is an adult. , stuff the cage with cardboard boxes, etc., leaving only a place for the dog to sleep, and then gradually take out the cardboard boxes as the dog grows. This way, you don’t have to buy many dog ??cages for the dog as the dog grows. . The dog should be put in a cage after eating. This will prevent the dog from urinating everywhere. Secondly, the dog will not be prone to strenuous activities after eating, which is not good for their stomach.
Wait half an hour after the meal, take him out to go to the toilet. After going to the toilet, you can let him out to play for a while. Then put him in the cage until the next time you take him to the toilet. (This method is suitable for newspaper period and toilet training outside). If you want to let him out and play with him occasionally, you should pay attention to see if he wants to go to the toilet. If so, take him to the toilet immediately.
Generally speaking, dogs will be better able to endure (hold in) after surgery (that is, after they mature). Puppies are not very tolerant, so they need to be restrained in a cage. And take them out often. (Ha, it’s just like people, but I don’t know if they will become incontinent again in old age. I won’t know until my dog ??is old, and I will tell you then.
These are The step-by-step training method I use to train my dog. My dog ??has completed all the above training when it is 6 months old. It can only go to the toilet when it knows to go outside, and it can also be left outside the cage without any care. Now he is one year old. Now I only need to take him outside to go to the toilet twice a day. I usually don’t put him in a cage at home.
There are many other ways to teach a dog to go to the toilet. Please refer to this for your reference. It is the most troublesome time when you are a puppy, but after you teach it well, you will feel that the hard work is worth it, and you will learn a lot when you train it. emotion.
