widget: source_sentence: How can I ensure that my puppy's emotional and psychological needs are being met during training to promote better social skills and emotional stability?
sentences: Look for wiggling body language, happy faces, and play bows from both dogs. Bouncy exaggerated rocking-horse type movements are a sign the dogs are having fun. Determine whether your dog wants to run back and play with another dog by giving a consent test. Separate the dogs, remove your dog some distance away, then observe whether your dog wants to run back and play with the other dog or not. Dogs should be self-imposing breaks from play to rest or get a small drink. Breaks may include snifﬁng. If one dog wants a break the other dog shows respect by not persisting in perpetual play inducements. If your dog comes and lies down near you, take the lead, and protect your dog from further interaction until your dog desires another round of play. Snifﬁng may be in order. Puppies and adult dogs must be monitored very carefully as should small dogs vs. large dogs. Not all adult dogs like puppies. Large adult dogs should change levels, that is voluntarily self- handicap, and let the puppy or smaller dog “win” regularly during role reversals. These behaviors balance inequalities in size, strength, and health. If role-reversals or self-handicapping are not occurring, do not allow your puppy or small dog continued interaction with an adult or much larger dog who may show aggression or cause physical or emotional injury. One dog may be either the victim or the bully in different contexts. Roles may also change when playing with different play partners. Dogs should take turns happily chasing each other where neither dog is a bully or a target, so play goes back and forth. With puppies, adult dogs should be willing to let the puppy win now and again and should always back off if the puppy squeals., The priorities, best practices and the exclusions deﬁne what force-free training is and in addition what it is not. Force-free training is categorically and qualitatively different and unique from traditional or so-called “balance training” by virtue of the operational deﬁnition of what we do and what we do not do as described below.

No shock No prong No choke No pain No fear No dominance or intimidation No compulsion methods No physical force No hitting with any object, including rolled up towels No throwing items No swatting with a newspaper No shaking cans of coins or rocks in our dogs’ sensitive ears No spraying water in the face or body No yelling

Nurturing biological health and psychological well-being enhances emotional stability, social skills, and cognitive abilities by meeting our dogs’ real needs. The Hierarchy of Dog Needs describes the emotional and behavioral modiﬁcation methods that force-free behavior modiﬁcation consultants and trainers endorse. Effectively using these techniques serves to increase, decrease, and redirect behavior, and also to change emotional responses. We set the stage for optimal well-being by using force-free training, and eliminating the potentiality for fear, stress, and aggression., Many properties of commercially prepared dog food are not sufﬁciently regulated. We suggest that you

Read the ingredients on labels and choose a food with a speciﬁcally named protein source as the ﬁrst ingredient. Avoid the vague term “meat,” by-products, corn syrup, and sugar. Meat meal is generally rendered meat made of by-products and that is why you will not see meat meals in human foods. Avoid meat meals when there are higher quality alternatives. Avoid artiﬁcial ﬂavors, colors, and preservatives, especially BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin that may be linked to carcinogens. Artiﬁcial

preservatives may be toxic to your dogs: Some artiﬁcial preservatives are also used as pesticides.

Consider the following questions when choosing a brand of dog food

Sources. Where do the ingredients come from? Recalls. What is the manufacturer’s safety record? Marketing and customer service. Is the company transparent about its products and responsive to inquiries?, source_sentence: How can I ensure my puppy doesn't have potty accidents when I'm not watching her closely?
sentences: attached to you by a leash so she canʼt wander oﬀ to potty in the house

or under your direct supervision in an enclosed area. Direct supervision means you are looking at her at all times. The minute you turn away, sheʼll have a potty accident.

Stick to this plan for a month straight and sheʼll reliably develop the habit of going outside and holding it inside. Then continue keeping a close eye on her for another couple of months, especially when you take her on outings to other peopleʼs homes, before declaring her completely potty trained.

The goal of crate training is that your puppy learns to love resting in her crate.

Crate: Your puppy should sleep in her crate at night and take naps in it during the day. To train her to love her crate, you can make it comfortable with a blanket and

place treats inside at random times. Then give her toys and pet her when sheʼs in it

before you close the door. The ultimate goal of crate training is that she goes into

the crate on her own or when you give her a verbal cue, rather than needing to be

shoved or coaxed in. And once sheʼs in, she remains calm, relaxed and quiet. (If

you have problems with this, download the crate training handout at

Crate size: The crate should be big enough for the puppy to lie down and turn around but not big enough for a separate potty area. You can make the crate

smaller by placing a box in it and, as the puppy grows, enlarge the crate by using a

“The goal of crate training is that your puppy learns to love resting in her crate.”, Does your puppy love their food? If so, use it to reward them throughout the day. Portion out some or all of the food and use it to motivate quick responses and self-control. (For more on how to use food to inspire learning, check out Part 4 of this book.)

Water is critically important for your puppy’s well-being: it should be left out and available at all times. That said, try to monitor their drinking habits while house- training them. Establish a drinking station for your puppy and keep their dish there, whether it’s empty or full. Give water with meals, after playing, chewing, or napping, and as you’re on your way to the potty area.

Restrict water after 7:30 p.m., unless you want to be up all night taking your puppy outside. If your puppy needs a drink, either give them a small amount or offer a couple of ice cubes.

Although dogs have many fewer taste buds overall (humans have 9,000 to their 1,700), your puppy has a ring of taste buds on the tip of their tongue that make water taste sweet. Pretty cool.

I don’t think house-training can be summed up any better than with the wonder- ful maxim “Whatever goes in must come out.” Your puppy’s biological clock will have them eliminating on demand. When their bladder or bowels are pressed, they’ll let loose whether they’re outside or on the papers — or the rug, if you’re not watching., After a puppy’s peak socialization period, around 16 weeks of age, it’s impos- sible to turn back the clock. People, places, sights, and smells that your puppy would have conditioned to naturally at an early age will seem suspicious to an older puppy. Do you want a dog who can’t warm up to everyday stimulations?

Puppies who are overisolated or stressed during infancy are shown to chew more destructively and may wreck your furnishings if they aren’t conditioned to chew their toys. The early turmoil created nervous energy that needs to be displaced, and because running to the refrigerator is off limits and nail-biting

isn’t an option, your puppy will chew on whatever is available. Provide plenty of satisfying options or else you may see your sofa disappear, one cushion at a time.

» Shelter: If you find an older puppy at a shelter, ask about their history and try to find out why they were left there. Were they found on the side of the street, or have they grown up in the system? Has the puppy in question been returned more than once? Ask what the reasons were — you may be adopting a dog who couldn’t be house-trained, was fearful of kids, or showed aggression when chewing a bone. Find out what the staff thinks of the puppy’s personality. » Pet store, puppy broker, craigslist, and other sources: Discount shopping isn’t for puppies. Do not buy a puppy without meeting and talking to the breeder or rescuers first. Though you may read a phrase that makes you feel like you’ll be the winner, there are no winners in the online puppy shopping game. Buying a puppy in this manner ensures that more puppies will be bred this way, which doesn’t take their interests to heart., source_sentence: What steps should I follow to transition my puppy from walking in a low-distraction area to more crowded places while using a Halti?
sentences: examine teeth and inside the mouth. This will desensitize your dog to people touching your dog’s mouth. Make sure your dog has proper dental care. Proper dental care is so often overlooked! Massage the sacral joint where the spine meets the tail and lift the tail to desensitize your dog to handling. Teach your dog how to give consent, how to ask for a break, and how to ask you to stop. Choice and consent are the wave of the future in modern cooperative care., If your adolescent puppy is still pulling on the leash despite all the basic leash walking training I’ve taken you through, you might choose to try a Halti leash. I’m a big fan of Haltis, as they make a massive difference with dogs who continue to have pulling problems, especially reactive dogs who can pull unexpectedly. A Halti is a gentle head harness that controls the dog by the snout and takes all the pressure off the throat.

To introduce a Halti, you must ﬁrst make sure your puppy is comfortable putting their nose into the Halti. Do this by simply slipping it on and off and rewarding your puppy heavily for this (YES, and a treat). You’ll then need to get your puppy comfortable with having the Halti done up, so again, go heavy on the rewards and praise. Then you need to master walking your puppy with a Halti on in a low-distraction environment (i.e., your garden or somewhere else familiar, without loads of other dogs and people). Once your dog is comfortable moving around your garden, you can move to outside; get your dog comfortable in your street before moving on to high- distraction-level areas, such as parks. A decent structured walk should be ten minutes, with your dog nicely walking by your side, followed by ﬁve minutes where you allow your puppy to sniff and explore a little, before returning to a more structured HEEL walk.

TIP: Haltis can be tricky to put on at ﬁrst, so watch a few online videos or ask a friend

to demonstrate theirs just to get a feel for how they work. Waving a Halti around and, Think of your dog’s veterinarian as being on par with your doctor or your child’s pediatrician. Medical knowledge is essential, but a good bedside manner is the cherry on top of the sundae. Speak with the receptionists and bring in your pup for a cheerful social call before their initial visit. Talk to the doctor like they’re a neighbor. Do you feel comfortable sharing all your canine concerns with them?

If you’re unsure of which veterinarian to use, ask around. You can narrow your search by asking your friends and family whom they use and why.

Puppies can be quite impulsive — they often swallow things that look edible before even considering whether they are. So, at your puppy’s first veterinary visit, ask the doctor for a recommended method for inducing vomiting. You should also find out the poison-control hotline number and always keep it on your phone in case of an emergency. Seek out a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital in your area as well. Keep the hospital’s number by or on your phone. Accidents can happen during off hours, so have a plan.

Whether your life demands consistent hours away from home or circumstance steps in to temporarily rearrange your schedule, knowing a dog walker can make the difference between a happy puppy and a stressed-out one. Puppies are like human babies in that they have a strong need dependency. Even though an adult dog can hold their bladder until you get home or can survive until a late meal, your puppy may well eat the walls of your house if you get stuck in traffic. A reliable dog walker can be a godsend in times like these., source_sentence: What breeds of dogs might struggle more with swimming, and how can I support them if they are hesitant to enter the water?
sentences: Never throw your dog into the water to “see how it goes”—because your dog can easily drown, struggle or thrash and any trust you may have established will be broken. The safest, least stressful, and most effective way to teach a dog to swim is to use a properly-ﬁtted life jacket. A life jacket often helps new swimmers relax enough to paddle with all four legs.

Desensitize your dog to wearing a dog life jacket to keep him aﬂoat and to provide peace of mind for you. Your dog’s innate ability to swim or ease in learning to swim is, in part, determined by breed and body morphology. Even some retrievers need a helping hand to learn and ﬁnd the conﬁdence to swim for fun and exercise. Breeds with short legs and wide chests such as Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Corgis, and Pugs, simply were not bred for swimming. Large, muscled breeds such as the bully breeds, require a great deal of energy expenditure in the water due to their signiﬁcant body mass. Sight hounds, such as Salukis, Whippets, Italian Greyhounds and Greyhounds, have the disadvantage of both large muscles and little body fat to keep them aﬂoat., The key to etiquette training is to set your goals and share them with family and friends — and even with strangers who interact with your pup. Think of this last training chapter of Part 3 as sending your puppy off to Miss Sarah’s School of Dog Etiquette, which is a short-term course with long-term freedoms and rewards.

To develop the all-important canine consciousness, you must do two things:

» Decide what you want when you give a direction. » Follow through — if your expectations are unclear, your puppy’s reaction will

When debuting that almost-grown puppy of yours, follow these five essential rules:

1. Make sure your puppy is familiar and comfortable with the setting before you attempt to introduce them to anyone. Don’t greet people your first day out.

2. Before each introduction, insist that your puppy stand still at your side. Gently hold still or bring them back to your side and instruct “Wait.”

3. Tell admirers “We’re in training.” This statement will help them respect your efforts and contain their excitement (hopefully).

4. Stay more focused on your puppy than on the admirer. Insist that your puppy use good manners before you let them approach a new dog or person. 5. Put faith in your knowledge. Just because everyone has advice doesn’t mean they’re right. “I don’t mind if they jump” doesn’t hold water. You mind if they jump, so don’t give in.

Under and back: Helpful commands when you’re out and about

Have you ever marveled at the sight of a dog lying patiently under the table or their human’s legs? It’s calming on all fronts because the dog is at peace knowing that the person is safe and in charge. Fortunately for you, it couldn’t be easier to teach your pup this skill., exposed to an aversive stimulus that it cannot escape or avoid, and which nothing it does has any effect on, eventually its avoidance responses will extinguish. It will stop reacting to the stimulus, pay no attention, and apparently become unaware of it. This is called habituation. In my New York apartment I found the street noise unbearable at ﬁrst, but eventually, like most New Yorkers, I learned to sleep through the sirens, yelling, garbage trucks, even car crashes. I became habituated. Police horses are sometimes trained by subjecting them to all kinds of harmless but alarming events, such as opening umbrellas, ﬂapping papers, being tapped all over with rattling tin cans, and so on. The horses become so habituated to startling sights and sounds that they remain unﬂappable no matter what events the city streets have to offer.

Method 4 is not useful for getting rid of well-learned, self-rewarding behavior patterns. It is good, however, for whining, sulking, or teasing. Even small children can learn - and are gratiﬁed to discover - that they can stop older children from teasing them merely by not reacting in any way, good or bad.

BEHAVIOR Roommate leaves dirty laundry all over the place. Dog in yard barks all night.

This behavior is self-reinforcing and seldom extinguishes spontaneously. A certain amount of noise is natural and harmless; let it be, they'll get tired of it. See to it that his or her harsh words have no results, either good or bad. Work on other strokes, footwork, and so on, and try to let the speciﬁc error die down from lack of concentrating on it. If the misbehavior is a way of getting attention, remove the attention; shirking,, source_sentence: What should I do if I notice signs of an ear infection in my puppy?
sentences: Puppies love interactive games, especially as they mature. Tug is a great game for puppies and can be used to teach your puppy to Give on command, as well as learning what is and isn’t okay to tug on — your hair or slippers, for example. Here’s a quick lesson on playing tug with a young puppy:

» Start with a rope or doggie play pole, which can also be fashioned out of a

» Bounce the toy in front of your puppy or wait until they show interest in

playing with it. Reward their interest by saying “Tug” and providing resistance. » Take a smelly food treat in your hand (like liver, hot dog, or jerky-type treat)

» Let your puppy have the toy back right away and continue playing or say “You

Soon your puppy will learn that sharing and releasing toys means more fun and interaction, not less.

When picking out self-soothing toys for your puppy (objects they can play with alone), keep the analogy of giving a child your smartphone to keep them busy when you’re present but not accessible. Self-soothing objects come in many forms: What calms your puppy best?

Though you generally can’t go wrong with indestructible plastic bones, some puppies find them, well, boring. Rawhide, which is made in America, is a satisfy- ing chew, but it’s problematic with some dogs who chew obsessively because they gulp it as they go and can choke or get indigestion. Destructible bones also cost money to replace — just saying.

Personally, my clients have had the most luck with pressed rawhide, animal-part sticks (hooves and bully sticks), and vegetable-matter pulp bones. Test out a few kinds yourself to find a bone that satisfies your puppy’s craving and that can pass the “systems” test (their digestive system, that is); then buy it in bulk., Don’t use cotton swabs or poke into your puppy’s ear canal. You can cause irreparable damage by doing so.

» Prevent water from entering the ear. If you’re bathing your pup, put a cotton ball in the opening ahead of time and wipe the ears out with a dry cotton ball when you’re finished.

Ear infections are quite common. Signs of infection include a red or swollen ear, discharge, head shaking, ear itching, or bad odor. If you notice any of these symp- toms, get your puppy to their doctor immediately. Left untreated, infections can cause fever, depression, irritability, and loss of balance. Your veterinarian may prescribe an ointment that you administer at home. Here’s how to use it:

1. Wait until your dog’s a little sleepy. 2. Bring them to the refrigerator and swipe some peanut butter or broth at their eye level.

3. As they’re licking the refrigerator, gently squeeze into their ear canal the amount of ointment specified by your veterinarian.

You don’t have to know much about the nose, though it is helpful for tipping you off to the fact that your puppy’s not feeling well. A warm nose can be caused by elevated temperature. (See the nearby sidebar, “Taking your puppy’s tempera- ture.”) However, weather conditions also can lead to dryness or fluctuation in body temperature. If you suspect that your puppy has a fever, touch their other body areas without fur (belly, paws, or the inside of their ears) or take their tem- perature. Did I mention that you have to do it rectally? What fun!, More than 320 breeds are now registered worldwide. These days, being a purebred dog is like belonging to an exclusive club: Only dogs with similar looks and inter- ests get in. Although most breeds are no longer asked to do the work they were developed for, fanciers continually devote themselves to breeding and selling puppies that reflect their traditions.

Choosing a specific breed enables you to predict the size, weight, and interest of your puppy. Selecting a one-of-a-kind mixed-breed puppy, and predicting or discovering the various breeds that combine to create them, allows you to make accurate descriptions about their interests and energy level as an adult dog.

When researching a breed, mixed-breed, or designer-mixed-breed, try to meet at least three adult dogs of the same breed or mix-breeds. All puppies are cute and adorable, but they grow up in the blink of an eye, so make sure you like the look and personality of the dog your puppy will become.

Whether you’re considering a purebred, mixed-breed, or designer-mixed-breed, take a good, hard look at your lifestyle now and project out five to ten years. How might a certain breed’s or mixed breed’s interests and energy level play out in your home?
