You can save many headaches for your family and you can avoid much suffering to your pet if you dedicate a few minutes to teach the rules with love and patience.
It is almost the rule: when a dog comes to the life of a person does it from puppy, and the tenderness that causes to see it so small and funny, makes us forget that as any living being also has physiological needs and also requires affection, patience , hygiene and education, regardless of the material aspect that is the house, the food and some other toy to be entertained.
When we do not consider these aspects, it is difficult to take full responsibility for it and before the first adversities we resort to ineffective and pitiful measures that result in cases such as Laura, a woman who at the insistence of her 7-year-old daughter decided buy a Schnauzer puppy , which is very restless and is distinguished by its continuous barking.
"Living in an apartment, the neighbors began to complain and it was necessary to cut the oral cords so that it would not make so much noise and while he was small we kept him inside the house, but when it started to grow we went up to the service room that was Found on the roof and this made it more complicated than we saw it; we put food and water in the morning, we cleaned the place and that's it. Now Ximena, my daughter, is 15 years old and less wants to know about the animal, so we're going to give it away, "says Laura.
As the case of Laura and Ximena, there are many others that can also vary in terms of the existing problem, however, this type of extreme measures such as abandonment or produce physical alterations to limit their nature, are avoidable as long as we dedicate the time necessary to provide them with the training that allows them to adapt to coexistence with humans.
The reality is that you do not need to pay an expensive course for a dog to receive an education: from the trust and affection one feels towards him, it is easier to teach him and get his behavior to be the expected one.
Andrea Wolf, author of the book "Tu perro, tu espejo2 de Ediciones Obelisco, proposes some tips that contribute to the training, to teach you both some thanks and good habits, have good effects:
1.- Before starting, it is necessary to relax, it is recommended to take a nap or have a cup of tea.
2.- You have to select the right place, this must be quiet, without people or distractors such as telephones, radio, etc.
3.- Care must be taken that the pet is calm. If you have just arrived from work or school, you have to wait until your welcome ritual ends, and then start.
4.- It is recommended to design a plan of how many exercises are going to be carried out, the ideal is to start from less to more.
5.- It is important to give only one order at a time, so you will have the opportunity to correctly process the task before changing to something else.
6.- We must speak slowly and clearly. The orders must have few words and short ones.
7.- Only the necessary thing is spoken with the pet, that is to say, it is necessary to give the order and the corresponding praise, nothing more.
8.- During the exercises it is not recommended to caress him or have emotional contact with him.
9.- If the dog did not understand the instruction and therefore does not obey, it must be repeated slowly and deliberately.
10.- It is recommended to use motivational objects, such as food or toys that are offered while praise is given. Of course, it is not recommended that one show great enthusiasm with their achievements.
Devoting a few minutes a day to the pet to teach the correct way to develop in their new home, is an excellent sample for her and for oneself that the longing to stay together is permanent, and that it will not end even when it ceases to be a puppy or when his behavior is not the one we had dreamed of.
Friendship with the so-called 'best friend of man' must be built with the same dedication and commitment that is made with a human being.
