Choosing a dog puppy and, most importantly, raising it is a complex process that requires patience, love and certain knowledge. This is especially true for hunting dog breeds. Spaniel is a good hunter and reliable companion. But for it to become such, it is necessary to make some efforts.
One of the main conditions for the proper upbringing of a dog is not to take a puppy to your house if someone from your family is not happy with it. Otherwise, you will not be able to raise an adequate and intelligent animal.
So, a spaniel puppy has appeared in your house. Immediately make sure that the place where the dog will live is comfortable for him. It is necessary to settle it in a quiet place without drafts. Many novice dog breeders seek to arrange a place for the animal at the source of heating - this is not worth doing.
For dog litter, a hair or cotton mattress with a removable cover is suitable. In addition, the dog will feel great on a couch ten to fifteen centimeters high or on an ordinary soft rug. Get ready for the fact that the puppy of the spaniel for the first time will whine at night. This is not because he was poorly educated by the previous owners, but because he misses his mother and his brothers. In order to create the illusion of maternal warmth at night, you can put a warm heating pad under the litter.
Try to restrain your emotions and do not take the puppy to your bed. We do not argue that this is difficult to refuse, but if you show weakness, then already at this stage you will make a mistake in education. And do not try to yell at the puppy, get mad at him.
We need to speak with the tiny dog in a calm and firm tone, ordering him to leave for the place. When the spaniel puppy appears in your home, be sure to wash it with warm water and baby soap or baby shampoo. But do not do this before bedtime - the spaniel should run a little and dry. Another important detail - a spaniel puppy is best taken to the house on a day off. Thus, he immediately gets to know all members of the family and is easier to get used to.
It is necessary to carefully monitor the health of the puppy. Especially it is necessary to be afraid of such a formidable disease as the plague. Until the spaniel puppy has received all the necessary vaccinations, in no case do not allow him to contact other animals and do not enter the room in which he lives, in the shoes in which they walked on the street.
Spaniel puppy is very mobile. He loves to play, run and nibble everything that meets his path. This is completely normal, so the owners need to buy some toys for him.
For proper upbringing, the puppy of the Russian spaniel should always hear clear instructions from the owner and human speech addressed to him - he needs to communicate no less than a person. During training, do not litter the team with unnecessary words, as the dog may get confused and not understand what the command consists of.
English Spaniel puppies are very funny and good-natured animals. They easily adapt to any living conditions and quickly get used to new owners.
