Having decided to get a dog, you should clearly understand the responsibility that falls on your shoulders for the upbringing and maintenance of a four-legged friend. A dog is not a toy at all, it needs constant care and attention, its health must be monitored. If you do not have time for this, then it is better not to torture yourself or the animal and confine yourself to aquarium fish. In the event that you are determined, use some tips.
Instructions
Step 1
When purchasing a dog, find out all about the breed of which the dog is. It is even better to choose a breed for your character and conditions in which you can keep it. Consider her natural inclinations and those that emerged as a result of breeding work on the breed.
Step 2
It is important for each dog to have its own place where it can take shelter and rest, but so that from it there was an opportunity to observe the life of the rest of the household. If the place that you have chosen for her, for some reason, did not suit the dog, give her the right to choose it on her own and then equip it in accordance with your requirements. For small dogs, it is better to purchase a basket or a special house where she can hide. Do not place your dog in the kitchen, bedroom, or nursery.
Step 3
So that staying in the apartment does not become a torment for the animal, regularly take him for a walk 2-3 times during the day. At least one walk a day should last at least half an hour, so that the dog can run over and happily return to his home and his family for a blissful nap.
Step 4
The dog should have its own place and utensils for food. It is usually placed in the kitchen for convenience. Make sure your dog always has fresh water in his bowl, feed him by the hour, and remove leftover food from it until the next feed.
Step 5
Educate your dog and teach all the necessary commands. This is the language with which you can explain to your dog what is required of him. In addition, knowing the commands will help keep the dog alive in an urban environment with heavy traffic.
Step 6
Your love for an animal is not expressed in the fact that you feed him everything that you eat yourself and sleep with him in the same bed. Remember that proper parenting and special dog food is much more important to the animal. And you can love her just as much.
