Proper nourishment <\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>His diet needs changes with the time and a nutritious, balanced diet is essential to keeping your dog healthy. Below the age of 1 month, it is quite essential for puppy to feed on his mother\u2019s milk for better physical and mental development. Between ages 1-6 month, Puppies are weaned from their mother\u2019s milk gradually, while getting them used to puppy food; the puppy has to be fed 3 \u2013 4 times per day and fresh water should be available all the time. As the dog grows up, his nutrition intake needs changes according to his breed and weight.<\/p><div id=\"paisa-3008370728\" class=\"paisa-content paisa-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4h8j21D\" aria-label=\"blog banner app popup copy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2025\/03\/06184200\/blog-banner-app-popup-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"300\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>TIP : Ideal weight should be maintained by making right feeding choices and regular exercise. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>2. Controlling bad behavior<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542415263.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" title=\"wp-1466542415263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542415263.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We love dogs! Their twinkling eyes can melt anyone\u2019s heart, BUT it is very, very important to govern their behavior and teach them discipline. If he does something wrong, beating or scolding him won\u2019t do any good. Dogs don\u2019t have the ability to reason. You need to keep in mind your dog doesn\u2019t perform bad behaviors to spite you or show defiance. He simply needs to be taught to act in a way that pleases you because making you happy is what makes him happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP : If you want to learn the best way to teach your dog not to perform unwanted behavior, consider reading up on positive dog training techniques or hiring a dog trainer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>3. Toilet training<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Start when the dog is young \u2013 about 3 to 4 months of age. Any earlier, and your puppy probably won\u2019t yet have sufficient bowel and bladder control. And if you start later, the training period is likely to take much longer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542452820.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" title=\"wp-1466542452820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542452820.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Keep your puppy on a regular feeding schedule during toilet training; go outside first thing in the morning, (in case of pups) and then every 30 to 60 minutes throughout the day\/ (in case of adult dogs) 2-3 times in a day; Take your dog to the same spot outside every time\u00a0 as he will recognize its scent and more readily do its business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP : Praise him after his job with a treat or something the dog really enjoys, like a walk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>4. Obedience training<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542489236.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" title=\"wp-1466542489236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542489236.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Teaching your dog basic obedience is also a necessity. Your dog should learn to respond to the following basic commands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>SIT :<\/strong> This basic command helps you to keep control of your dog no matter the situation, and is a good command to teach first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DROP :<\/strong> This teaches your dog to instantly drop whatever is in its mouth. (Could save your dog from harm if it ever picks up something dangerous or toxic.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>STAY :<\/strong> Teaches your dog to remain still, calm, and in one place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HEEL :<\/strong> Teaches your dog to stay close to you as you walk, with or without a lead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>COME : <\/strong>Teaches your dog to immediately come to you upon your command. You should begin to teach this command to your puppy as soon as it recognizes its name. This command could potentially help you protect your puppy from harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>TIP <em>:<\/em><em> Positive reinforcement is the best dog training\u00a0 method which reinforces\u00a0 rewards for wanted behavior rather than punishing an unwanted behavior. <\/em>This method of training makes learning more enjoyable for your dog, and will help to strengthen the bond between you and your pet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>5. Regular exercise <\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Inactive dogs are often overweight that brings plenty of health risks such as diabetes, respiratory disease, and heart disease. We often think of exercise only as a health issue, but it has significant day-to-day effects on a dog\u2019s behaviour as well. Dogs \u2014 particularly puppies and young dogs \u2014 have a lot of energy, and if they don\u2019t get the chance to burn it off, destructive behavior is often the result.\u00a0 Therefore, daily exercise for dogs is a necessity.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542531241.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" title=\"wp-1466542531241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542531241.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP : Exercise time-period depends on your dog\u2019s age, breed, and health. Seek to a dog-trainer for consultancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>6. Give immediate rewards<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>As I said before, dogs don\u2019t reason. So, it is very important for you to praise and reward your buddy for every nice thing he learns and does and you must do it within 2 seconds of that desired behaviour to reinforce that behaviour. If you wait too long, he will not associate the reward with the action you asked him to perform.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542547311.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" title=\"wp-1466542547311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466542547311.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><strong>7. Regular checkups and vaccinations<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Even if you keep a close eye on your dog&#8217;s health it\u2019s important you book an annual appointment with your vet for a thorough check-up. This will give your vet the chance to spot any potential dog health problems and, hopefully, nip them in the bud before they become serious. You should keep track of all the vaccines that your little buddy might need for his healthy and happy well-being.<\/p>\n<p>All those little, cutie fur-balls are your keeper; A friend to hold on to.
