Wollknel 'Milo' moves in with Königs
Hanover. The König family wants a small dog who loves children and does not bark too much. What belongs to the initial equipment for puppies has discovered 14-year-old daughter Chiara on the Agila pet insurance website and has already purchased together with her parents. A few things, such as the fur brush and the transport box, can only be bought when it is certain which breed the new family member will belong. This question is not so easy to answer, so future dog owners should best get advice from an expert like Inge Büttner-Vogt from Wiesbaden. She describes herself as a trainer for people with a dog and emphasizes: “It is important to know which breed has been bred for what. The dachshund, for example, is a hunting dog that was bred so short-legged for working on the fox and roof building. The Labrador retriever ('Back ”in hunting) is also a dog with hunting instinct, an Australia shepherd is an intelligent work dog that doesn't just want to go 'walking. All pedigree dogs have their special needs for us. “
If you want to record a pet, you should know the special requirements of the respective breed and compare with your own life situation. The König family opts for a small poodle and baptized the nine -week -old wool knot 'Milo'. Small poodles are very keen to learn and sociable. The king's apartment is prepared for the new roommate. Since 'Milo' is supposed to sleep in his basket in the living room in the future, his dog bed will be set up there for him and the sofa will be prepared as a place to sleep for Chiara's father Olaf. Because at the beginning the little one still needs support to get used to the new situation and not to feel lonely.
The two children, Chiara and Robin are still more intensive than the apartment (7 years), prepared for 'Milo'. In addition, dog expert Inge Büttner-Vogt: “A puppy has to sleep and doze 20 hours a day to process everything he experiences. The children should be consistently encouraged, not to stroke him and not to approach the cup when the puppy is sleeping. In the short waking phases, the children can lure him together with his parents and reward you when he comes.”
There are various approaches to get used to the new home. With the choice of the right training methods, dog schools can be of great help. Olaf and his wife Marlies both take two weeks of vacation directly to 'Milo's. This facilitates education to the room cleaning unit and also promotes the mental development of the puppy. When 'Milo' enters the king's apartment for the first time, Marlies and Olaf let him sniff him in peace. Then they show the little one his future sleeping place and put it in again and again. In a corner in the garden, they set up a solest point by placing his legacies there and carrying it down and sniffing it. Every morning, right after waking up, Olaf wears him to the solest point in the garden. Even after eating, playing and sleeping breaks, 'Milo' is always brought there during the day. After a few days he shows on his own if he has to get out; This is how 'Milo' becomes house.
The König family, of course, also dealt a lot in advance with the upbringing of their little favorite. Inge Büttner-Vogt: “It is best to educate a puppy from the first day, because what we do not want later, we should not let go at the beginning. One of the most important signals in the dog life is 'Lass-Es'. It protects him from poisoning and stomach problems.” To train this command, Chiara sits on the floor in front of 'Milo'. She puts a treat in front of him, holds her hand over it and says: “Leave it.” 'Milo' tries to push your hand away, but Chiara gently pushes it away with the other hand and repeatedly repeats the command “Lay it”. As soon as he turns his head a bit, it immediately gives him the treat. So the little one links the signal with its waiver of the coveted object.
'Milo' learns many other signals such as “seat” and “come”. Soon he can stay alone for a while. The king plays a lot with him and have fun with their new roommate. This consolidates her bond with the puppy. “In my dog training, the protection of the dog is of fundamental importance. I protect it from himself so that he does not hurt. I always lead him to ahead and take it into account. My dog learns that he does not have to make his own decisions. This leads to a strong, trusting relationship,” said Büttner-Vogt.
