1. Keep dog still.. no running/moving/jumping a week after spay/neuter.
Roxie was already spayed when I got her, so I didnt deal with this..
2. Do not switch foods right away! You don't want to shock their stomachs.
Ok, I dont always do this , but i have..lol..
-3. Never lets your dog sleep on the bed with you/play tug/etc..
Roxie doesnt sleep with me all the time, but once in a while I will let her..lol..I do play tug of war with her and get in the floor and act like a dog..lol..
-4. Don't let your dog walk ahead of you on walks
-I too could care less if she walks ahead of me, when we are out on our country trail on our property she does not use a leash..
5. Never use a flexi!
I like a flexi
6. Don't give your dog junk food
- Roxie gets what I eat, in small portions.
7. Do not BABY or spoil your dog!
- Roxie is beyond spoiled rotten!
8. Let your dog adjust for a week before bringing people over to meet him/her as a puppy.
I took Roxie everywhere possible, but she was a little over a year old when I got her..
- 9. Don't encourage bad behavior.. no matter what.
I wouldnt say I encourage bad behavior,but I dont always stop it either...lol..
- 10. Do not leave your dog alone with kids/other dogs alone.
My daughter is 8 and has been left in the same room with the dog, never home alone.
- 11. ALWAYS pick up your dogs poop.
- We live in the country , so no. But when at the park or beach, I do. |
