Why Brussels Griffon?
Those who chose the Brussels Griffon, apparently could not resist these little unique dogs, which oddly combines unhesitating determination in conjunction with the proud dignity and remarkable intelligence, not to mention the ingenuity of pranks, pierced with a thin sense of humor! Many agree that it is the Griffon deserve honorary "title" big dog in a small package, which claim all the toy breeds. And this says it all!
Describing griffons, we can not recall the late Stanley Dendzherfilda - TV programs c shows Krafts - who kept these dogs and was a renowned expert. In 1971, he wrote that griffon - a breed of eternal controversy, and one can hardly find even two people who have seen these dogs in the same light. And indeed. One they seem to be lovely, the other - too unusual in terms of accepted standards of beauty. And only one converge - from the great diversity of species around the world, you will not find a dog-like griffons - small animals, with exceptional strength of mind.
Griffon are more popular in Britain and Continental Europe than in the U.S.. However, the habitat does not affect their cheerful nature, and wherever they lived, these babes, they are always willing to tirelessly serve as hosts, until his death remain fascinating companions, immediate and unforgettable. Therefore, many are wondering why the breed is a rare and still not win the popularity it deserves by law. Yet, given the growing interest in the Griffon, remember that popularization of many species and, consequently, a sharp increase in their population have led to the loss of their dogs, the most important and often attractive features, so hopefully that griffons breeders, regardless of the increase in demand these dogs will be able to preserve the breed in its current form - original and unique
By its nature, somewhat reminiscent of Griffon TerrierThe blood which, of course, flowed through the veins of his ancestors. Like a terrier, Griffon - Living and moving dogs - always on alert, distinguished by the increased attention to everything going on. For all his self-assured calm and boundless benevolence, these dogs are absolutely fearless and very determined. Generally Griffon does well with other animals, but in a conflict situation, this little dog is not afraid to match themselves with any of their relatives, even if it is several times bigger than her. Therefore, if the Griffon communicates with an unknown owner of the dog, you need to take care of the safety of this too confident kid!
Total Griffon - it is always a happy, gentle and unassuming little dog, with all his being devoted to his master or mistress. However, with strangers or in new surroundings, this baby is often touchingly shy - well, this property is Monogamous! Despite the fact that the Griffon are toy breeds, they, like big dogs, even in puppyhood to firmly make it clear that the main in the house he and my master, and then your pet will be safe from bad habits. "My dear little devil in a fur suit"- Describes his own Griffon an American writer. Picture quite bright, is not it?
Despite its small dimensions, Griffon, unlike many toy breeds, definitely can not be called a fragile little dog. Its structure is a dog type "Cobby" well-balanced square shape with a short back and well-developed, deep chest. The term "Cobby" is actually borrowed from the characteristics of Wales "cob" pony, which, as we know, is a tough little beast. Further description of the Griffon

Perfect Puppy: Movement on a leash (p-5)
The habit of pulling on the leash is very stable, so if the dog is accustomed to walk on a leash taut, it will be difficult to retrain. Ideally, the dog should not have to get used to pull the leash, but it is not always possible. One way to avoid this problem - to decide that you never, never move forward until the leash taut. Implementation of this rule requires commitment and constant attention, but if you follow it, you'll be able to circumvent one of the major pitfalls of training.
We begin training with a puppy from the counter on a free rein. Just stand quietly, holding a puppy on a leash, and click (or use a verbal marker), as soon as the leash would be weakened. What more does a puppy at this time, it does not matter; free leash - this is the only thing you should pay attention. Unfortunately, many people who come to classes in obedience for puppies already have problems with this exercise! Before you go to move forward, your puppy must learn on their own to stand next to you while on a leash. When you begin the movement with a puppy on a leash, do not forget to back up slack leash and to stop and / or move back, if the leash taut. For puppy taut leash should mean that it remains in place or moves from the object to which it is trying to drag you.
Conclusion
In this lecture, I only dealt with certain issues that should consider at the start of training the puppy. If you are difficult to digest as much information, divide the material into small pieces. Concentrate on what is important for the puppy at the moment. Babe must learn a lot. You may want to sit down and set myself some goals in training the puppy.
Also, remember that any communication with your puppy enables its training. No need to specifically set aside time for study. Include training in all what you do with a puppy. And finally, do not forget to enjoy communion with him! Photograph it more on the memory of that time - it is so fleeting. Soon it will be an adult, a trained dog.

Perfect Puppy: Major changes in the situation (p-4)
For working out the main provisions - sit, lie down, stand - the easiest way to use a treat as the prompt. Subsequently, the tip quickly retracted. Use a very welcome treat, and just "Keep the puppy's nose." When he takes the desired location, click the clickers, or use a verbal marker, and give a treat. If the puppy has not taken the required position, most likely this is due to improper movement of your hand. Experiment and find out how you should move to achieve success.
For landing, put the treat to the dog's nose, and then gently lift it and move back (above the eyes is a treat dogs). Following snack, the dog raises his head and sits down.
Stacking should work out of the situation as "sit" and from the "stand". In fact, for the puppy is two completely different movement. Therefore, they should assign different verbal labels - commands such as "lie" in one case and "fell" in another. To study laying out "sit", move the treat straight down and then slightly forward (the trajectory of the delicacies like the English letter L). For laying out "stand" lower dainty little below the chin and the dog to her chest (push back). Laying out "stand" is often called the "Sphinx". This exercise is very useful on competitions in obedience and agility.
Very often when training dogs to forget about one of the most useful exercises in obedience - the command "stand". This skill is needed for grooming and veterinary examination. Its implementation should also be some exercises in obedience competitions. You can put a puppy from the situation as "sit" and out "lie". Move the hand with a treat from his nose puppy parallel to the ground. If your hand is too high, the puppy will sit down, if too low, then it will fall.
As soon as your puppy learns quickly and willingly follow the treat, it's time to phase out tips. Rather than hold a treat in your hand and use it to make a dog perform the action you choose to use a treat as reinforcements after the completion of action. To begin to give up sweets, just pretend that it is still in your hand. Use the same gesture, as if you had a treat. Most likely, the puppy will follow your hand. Then use the marker behavior and remove the treat from his pocket or pack. During several sessions alternate execution skills with a delicacy in his hand, and without delicacy, gradually reducing the number of attempts to treat in hand.
Place / Waiting
Most puppies are no self-control and concentration needed to perform the exercises with slow shutter speeds. It is best to start with a brief command "Wait", leaving a greater refinement of exposure to sweat. You can begin to teach the dog to the excerpt, as soon as she learned the basic provisions. Just ask her to take a particular position and hold the marker behavior to one or two seconds. Give the signal-to-handle and delicacy. If the dog changes position, just start again, reducing the time of exposure.

Perfect Puppy: Attention (part3)
Before you can teach the puppy to anything else, you need to attract his attention. In most cases it is necessary that the puppy was aware of your presence and quickly switched to you when you ask it. When the puppy is older, you can develop a more sustained, focused attention.
The easiest way to get the necessary attention - is to demand it every time before you give your puppy what he wants. If he wants to walk, wait until he looks at you, and only then open the door. If he wants to withdraw from the cell, wait until between you is established eye contact, and only then release it. If he wants to play, first, wait until he is concentrating on you. Include this requirement in any of your work together very easily. Gradually increase the time during which the dog must look at you before you get what she wants. Always encourage the puppy's attention one way or another. Use a clicker and a treat, the verbal marker, and the game, or let the dog do what it wants. For example, imagine that your puppy terribly anxious to shake hands with one of his friends. Just wait and Achieve that he drew the attention on you, even just glanced, and then let him talk. For your puppy's attention will be the key to all the nice things.
Groundwater
Perhaps, after the attention of underground - the most important part of puppy education. To develop a reliable approach to the groundwater, you should begin to work out with his little puppy and be very diligent in learning. We start with a puppy refinement beckoning "face to face." The purpose of this initial training of - to explain the puppy that groundwater - a very good thing, and it is worth paying attention. Take the clicker and stored pieces of soft and tasty delicacies. Attract the attention of a puppy (pat him or show him a treat), then say his nickname, click on the groundwater, click and give a treat. Your puppy needs only to take it. While you do not need him to move toward you. In the initial stages of this exercise, you are right in front of the dog. Repeat this exercise in each room of your house at least 50 times (within a few short sessions). In the initial stages of learning there should be no distractions. Then repeat the same exercise in different places outside the home. This preliminary work will make your dog's reaction to the groundwater much faster and more stable.

Perfect Puppy: Food (part2)
Use feeding a puppy in order to form a relationship with him and give him realize your importance as a food source. During the first few weeks, the puppy should receive all their food only from your hands. You can use the feed from the hand to teach the puppy to a nickname, to teach him to pay attention to you, and to explain to him the importance of the marker behavior.
First, teach him to recognize his name, simply saying it before you give him another piece. You can repeat this about 10 times in the beginning of each feeding. Then, name the nickname of a puppy, but wait until he looks at you, and only then let him go. Not seeking long-term focus - just one or two seconds. The purpose of this exercise is not the generation of intense concentration. You just have to develop a puppy habit as often as possible to look at you. The fact that the dog you saw in the source of all good, it is very important for her successful performances in the future.
Tag behavior - Is that you installed a signal that tells the dog that she did everything right. This can be any word or sound that is unique and used only in that capacity. Many are used as a marker of the clicker. The dog out of the hands, you can teach the puppy to the sound of the marker, using it directly before to give the dog the next piece. Simply click, feed, click, feed it. If you are using as a marker word, replace them click. Word-marker should be pronounced the same way every time (tone, volume, intonation) and used only in this context. It makes sense to teach the puppy to the clicker, and a verbal marker (initially avoiding the use of different markers within the same class). Thus, you get two tools of training.
As soon as your puppy will understand the relationship between a marker and a delicacy (in most cases it is sufficient to 10 repetitions), start applying the marker to where the puppy does what you need. You will have to closely monitor the puppy and "catch" him the right things, encouraging them to click and treat. Enormous role played by the time you click, it should follow with minimal delay. Delicacy also need to give fast, but if necessary, can be a little delay. For example, if your puppy sits and looks at you, fix this step, mark it and reward treat. As a result, the likelihood of a repetition of this action in the future increases.
Games and toys
Most puppies love toys and games. They naturally love to hunt, to pull, chew and tear something. It is useful to encourage the game with appropriate objects, especially if you're going to train the puppy to sports performances. Dogs who have a motivation for a toy, much easier to train than those who have no such motivation. For some dogs play and toys are a powerful reinforcement.
First, you can use a toy to take a puppy. If he is "looking for trouble, you can give him a toy that he could use his energy for peaceful purposes." Stuffed toy snack (peanut butter, cheese, etc.) you force the puppy to focus on the positive use of energy. Working with groups of dog training for puppies, we ask owners to bring to school toys, stuffed treat. At the end of classes. when we take time to calmly talk about the behavior and problem solving, puppies get their toys and calmly lie and gnaw them, as we speak.
Having at hand "pogryzushki" type Nylabone, you can replace them in time such inappropriate objects as their own slippers or cushions.
If the dog will participate in competitions in obedience, agility, flaybolu etc., is very important to encourage the puppy's desire to hunt for a moving object (and from time to time aportirovat it). Running and aportirovka - also a good exercise for almost all dogs. You may have to experiment to find a toy that is most interesting to your puppy. For some dogs chasing a moving object - a natural occupation, while others do not see the point in this process.
If the dog is not enough desire or energy to chase things, to start you can play "two specialties. For puppies, we use cereal Kix, and for older dogs - cheese balls (or any delicacy which good rides and is easy to see). Show the puppy a treat, be interested in it, then drop it, so they rolled, encouraging the dog the command "Sic!" Once the puppy will eat sweets and turn to you, show him a piece, interest and cast him in another direction, again, encouraging his team. Repeat this exercise often. Eventually, your puppy will understand the rules of the game and will enthusiastically respond to the command "Sic!". Then you can start typing in the game toys.
On games with the dogs in the "pull-push" said a lot of bad. In the past, these games were forbidden, especially those puppies that have the potential to be big and strong. However, if you follow certain recommendations, "pull-push" can be very fun exercise. In addition, it is a great way to encourage desirable actions. It is important to teach the dog that loves this game, the command "Stop!". When the dog pulls, just put the treat to her nose. When she opens her mouth, use a verbal marker, and give a treat. Once it starts to let go of the toy is guaranteed to treat, add the command "Stop!" before you hold the treat to his nose dog. A few of these games lessons your puppy should be let go of the toy on command, and then you can highlight and reinforce its action.
Games and toys - great reinforcement. Clicking or a verbal marker, you can give the dog its favorite toy or take her fun game, instead of giving a treat. Begin to vary the type of reinforcement that you are using, until the puppy is still small. You need to have at its disposal a variety of ways of reinforcement. If you use a toy or game as a reinforcement, then this game should begin and end quickly. For example, if your dog lay down on command, you can click and get the cord in order to play tug within 15 seconds. Then remove the toy and continue training.
The world around us and socialization
Enriched with the outside world - one of the most important things that the owner can give the puppy. In one very well-known study, one group of rats was placed in enriched, and the other - in impoverished conditions. In the enriched environment, animals have provided a variety of toys, which are regularly replaced, and the ability to communicate with other rats and humans. In impoverished rats were kept in individual cages without communication, companies or occupations. At the end of the experiment was to compare brain volume in rats, which showed that the brains of rats kept in enriched conditions, was larger and heavier. In their mind to establish more connections between neurons (brain cells), resulting in increased speed of information processing.
To ensure the puppy enriched the world around us, you should acquaint him with various kinds of sound. smells, tastes, experiences and activities. Nevertheless, common sense. Do not suppress and do not frighten the puppy. One or two new events in the day - it was good. Just Vary experience obtained puppy as often as possible.
For the puppy is also very important socialization and interaction with other animals and humans. It is absolutely necessary to learn to communicate with other living beings. If you do not teach him that from childhood, most likely, it will not be able to learn than ever. Unfortunately, some trainers recommend that owners of puppies to keep them away from other dogs and people, to develop contact with the owner and get the dog to concentrate only on him. If you strictly follow this recommendation, some puppies, or become afraid of other dogs and people, or become aggressive. Instead, part of the upbringing of your puppy should be limited and controlled communication.
Find friendly dogs of all ages, types, sizes and types, and let the puppy interact with them. In general, adult females are very well know how to explain the puppy that he is too obtrusive, while not causing him pain. In determining when to allow communication, and when the limit it should also be guided by common sense. You must also give the puppy an opportunity to meet and talk with different people, while he was still small. Among other things, such communication - a good opportunity to teach the puppy to greet people properly.
Total Training All dogs must be formed in the basic skills of obedience. If you plan to participate with your pet in a sporting event, he should be able to do much more action for the team.
First, teach him to recognize his name, simply saying it before you give him another piece. You can repeat this about 10 times in the beginning of each feeding. Then, name the nickname of a puppy, but wait until he looks at you, and only then let him go. Not seeking long-term focus - just one or two seconds.

Tag behavior - Is that you installed a signal that tells the dog that she did everything right. This can be any word or sound that is unique and used only in that capacity. Many are used as a marker of the clicker. The dog out of the hands, you can teach the puppy to the sound of the marker, using it directly before to give the dog the next piece. Simply click, feed, click, feed it. If you are using as a marker word, replace them click. Word-marker should be pronounced the same way every time (tone, volume, intonation) and used only in this context. It makes sense to teach the puppy to the clicker, and a verbal marker (initially avoiding the use of different markers within the same class). Thus, you get two tools of training.
As soon as your puppy will understand the relationship between a marker and a delicacy (in most cases it is sufficient to 10 repetitions), start applying the marker to where the puppy does what you need. You will have to closely monitor the puppy and "catch" him the right things, encouraging them to click and treat. Enormous role played by the time you click, it should follow with minimal delay. Delicacy also need to give fast, but if necessary, can be a little delay. For example, if your puppy sits and looks at you, fix this step, mark it and reward treat. As a result, the likelihood of a repetition of this action in the future increases.
Games and toys
Most puppies love toys and games. They naturally love to hunt, to pull, chew and tear something. It is useful to encourage the game with appropriate objects, especially if you're going to train the puppy to sports performances. Dogs who have a motivation for a toy, much easier to train than those who have no such motivation. For some dogs play and toys are a powerful reinforcement.
First, you can use a toy to take a puppy. If he is "looking for trouble, you can give him a toy that he could use his energy for peaceful purposes." Stuffed toy snack (peanut butter, cheese, etc.) you force the puppy to focus on the positive use of energy. Working with groups of dog training for puppies, we ask owners to bring to school toys, stuffed treat. At the end of classes. when we take time to calmly talk about the behavior and problem solving, puppies get their toys and calmly lie and gnaw them, as we speak.
Having at hand "pogryzushki" type Nylabone, you can replace them in time such inappropriate objects as their own slippers or cushions.
If the dog will participate in competitions in obedience, agility, flaybolu etc., is very important to encourage the puppy's desire to hunt for a moving object (and from time to time aportirovat it). Running and aportirovka - also a good exercise for almost all dogs. You may have to experiment to find a toy that is most interesting to your puppy. For some dogs chasing a moving object - a natural occupation, while others do not see the point in this process.
If the dog is not enough desire or energy to chase things, to start you can play "two specialties. For puppies, we use cereal Kix, and for older dogs - cheese balls (or any delicacy which good rides and is easy to see). Show the puppy a treat, be interested in it, then drop it, so they rolled, encouraging the dog the command "Sic!" Once the puppy will eat sweets and turn to you, show him a piece, interest and cast him in another direction, again, encouraging his team. Repeat this exercise often. Eventually, your puppy will understand the rules of the game and will enthusiastically respond to the command "Sic!". Then you can start typing in the game toys.
On games with the dogs in the "pull-push" said a lot of bad. In the past, these games were forbidden, especially those puppies that have the potential to be big and strong. However, if you follow certain recommendations, "pull-push" can be very fun exercise. In addition, it is a great way to encourage desirable actions. It is important to teach the dog that loves this game, the command "Stop!". When the dog pulls, just put the treat to her nose. When she opens her mouth, use a verbal marker, and give a treat. Once it starts to let go of the toy is guaranteed to treat, add the command "Stop!" before you hold the treat to his nose dog. A few of these games lessons your puppy should be let go of the toy on command, and then you can highlight and reinforce its action.
Games and toys - great reinforcement. Clicking or a verbal marker, you can give the dog its favorite toy or take her fun game, instead of giving a treat. Begin to vary the type of reinforcement that you are using, until the puppy is still small. You need to have at its disposal a variety of ways of reinforcement. If you use a toy or game as a reinforcement, then this game should begin and end quickly. For example, if your dog lay down on command, you can click and get the cord in order to play tug within 15 seconds. Then remove the toy and continue training.
The world around us and socialization
Enriched with the outside world - one of the most important things that the owner can give the puppy. In one very well-known study, one group of rats was placed in enriched, and the other - in impoverished conditions. In the enriched environment, animals have provided a variety of toys, which are regularly replaced, and the ability to communicate with other rats and humans. In impoverished rats were kept in individual cages without communication, companies or occupations. At the end of the experiment was to compare brain volume in rats, which showed that the brains of rats kept in enriched conditions, was larger and heavier. In their mind to establish more connections between neurons (brain cells), resulting in increased speed of information processing.
To ensure the puppy enriched the world around us, you should acquaint him with various kinds of sound. smells, tastes, experiences and activities. Nevertheless, common sense. Do not suppress and do not frighten the puppy. One or two new events in the day - it was good. Just Vary experience obtained puppy as often as possible.
For the puppy is also very important socialization and interaction with other animals and humans. It is absolutely necessary to learn to communicate with other living beings. If you do not teach him that from childhood, most likely, it will not be able to learn than ever. Unfortunately, some trainers recommend that owners of puppies to keep them away from other dogs and people, to develop contact with the owner and get the dog to concentrate only on him. If you strictly follow this recommendation, some puppies, or become afraid of other dogs and people, or become aggressive. Instead, part of the upbringing of your puppy should be limited and controlled communication.
Find friendly dogs of all ages, types, sizes and types, and let the puppy interact with them. In general, adult females are very well know how to explain the puppy that he is too obtrusive, while not causing him pain. In determining when to allow communication, and when the limit it should also be guided by common sense. You must also give the puppy an opportunity to meet and talk with different people, while he was still small. Among other things, such communication - a good opportunity to teach the puppy to greet people properly.
Total Training All dogs must be formed in the basic skills of obedience. If you plan to participate with your pet in a sporting event, he should be able to do much more action for the team.
Perfect Puppy (part1)
New puppy ... clean sheet of paper ...
Having a new puppy, you get a great chance to start all over again. Your puppy gives you unlimited possibilities, not tainted by any negative baggage. Owner optimist believes that this time he will do everything correctly, this time the perfect puppy will be carefully nurtured, shaped, and from it get the perfect dog. New puppy - a chance to avoid the mistakes that were made with previous dogs. Over time, these great expectations become more realistic. The pup may show some features of nature that it was impossible to predict. Perhaps puppy accidentally run into something that will scare him, or the owner finds out that his usual methods of dog training simply does not work with this puppy.
While we all understand that it is absolutely perfect puppies and dogs do not exist, sometimes good to dream. Nevertheless, we can try to have the baby was the best start. Regardless of whether you see a puppy in his family pet and companion, the future champion of the breed, or plan to participate in competitions in training such as agility and obedience, attention should be given to training and the early formation of his experience. Your efforts will pay off later. In this lecture I will talk about how you can send a puppy on the right road.
These recommendations may work with a dog of any age and of benefit to young dogs, and even adults, taken from the shelter. However, puppies are more open to any influence, because they have no skills, who need to retrain or bad habits, from which they have to wean.
What should be remembered
For a start - a few general recommendations. I try to keep them in mind whenever I communicate with their dogs.
Prevent the problem rather than react to them
Take positive action to avoid problems before they occur. Leave everything to chance and hope for the best - not a good idea. It is reasonable to anticipate problems and try to avoid them. Key words in this case - planning and management.
For example, do not let the puppy in a dirty house. Encourage him to the cage from the very beginning, and always keep the puppy under the care when he walks around the house. Try to show him more often on the street. Rather than respond to a bad habit, which has already formed, you predict and avoid potential problems.
Reinforces the fact that you like
Always look for your desired actions and reinforce them. It's easy to ignore the good and pay attention to the poor, but it is a huge mistake. Always tell your puppy what he is doing everything correctly, and then the inappropriate behavior will be less likely.
For example, you may be a strong temptation to breathe a sigh of relief and behave very quiet, when the puppy finally settles on the team at your feet. Instead, you must follow the action in the future, the dog performed more often. Bend, and calmly stroke the puppy, tell him what he is good. Of course, he can jump up full of excitement, but do not pay any attention to him until he calms down again. He soon finds out that he was lying quietly gets the attention and approval.
Promote tiny steps
Be reasonable in their expectations. Physically and mentally, your puppy - still a child. To learn, he needs a lot of repetition and positive reinforcement. Be patient and do not expect too much too soon.
For example, in one of the lessons you can find out what your puppy very quickly sits down for a treat. You are delighted by how quickly he grasps. However, when you're trying to show it to his friend, a puppy just looks at you and go somewhere. This is absolutely normal. Go back to kindergarten and simplify the task, the puppy could succeed. Then gradually increase your expectations.
Engage fun
Your puppy needs to know that Training - a game. Serious and strict control of working out - the best way to kill the natural excitement and enthusiasm of a puppy that is associated with the Training and learning. Your puppy can learn a lot, but only if the lessons are interesting to him.
For example, while "on people, do not expect that the puppy will always execute the commands" sit "and" expect ", ignoring the distraction. Let him sniff and explore everything around, then ask him to sit down for two seconds and back up a task game. Or wait until he looks at you, before you allow him to communicate with other friendly dogs. So you lay the foundation for future obedience and attention, using the promotion in the wild.
Watch and learn
Learn your puppy, watching him. Find out what lessons he like best (to use them as a promotion). Observe how he solves simple problems, for example, gets a toy stuck under the sofa. Observe how he interacts with people and other animals. Maybe he's confident and brave, or, conversely, a few timid? Do not get carried away the role of teachers to such an extent that you forget about the need to learn from their own dogs.
For example, provoke a situation in which the puppy is exposed to new and unusual stimuli. Stroll to the local grocery store and walk near the entrance. Rumbling carts, rushes people and automatic doors, perhaps unfamiliar to your puppy. Stay at a distance that a puppy is not frightened and not alarmed, and just watch his behavior and reactions. When you think of that he feels comfortable, come closer, but do not overload your puppy's emotions. Keep track of all the information about how the puppy adjusts / reacts in this situation. Perhaps his reaction to other new situations will be similar.

Critical periods of development of the puppy
From the book "Education obedience dogs"
Neonatal
(from birth to 12 days)
Neonatal period (1-12 days) is dedicated to meet two needs - getting food and warmth.
A newborn puppy is physically DEPENDENT. He needs a warm environment to maintain their body temperature. He needs physical stimulation to urinate and defecate. He does not see or hear, his sense of smell and touch are in an embryonic stage of development. He responds to cold and heat, and, to some extent, causes pain. Also, the puppy reacts to the smell of the mother.
He moved, crawling in a circle and turning his head from side to side in an attempt to locate the mother. While it may popiskivat, prompting his mother to sniff and "inform" him his whereabouts.
While the puppy is growing rapidly and gaining strength during this period, his pattern of behavior is actually on the same level as at birth. Electroencephalogram, measured during the neonatal period, showed no differences between brain impulses sleeping and waking puppy.
TRANSITION
(13-20 days)
The transition period (13-20 days), marked by many physical changes in the puppy. At the beginning of this period (on average, the 13th day) in the puppies open their eyes. And although his pupils react to light, the retina has not yet been developed, and he is unable to see objects or movement of approximately 21 days of age.
Puppy begins to creep back as well as forward and after a few days he had already moved shaky steps, actually falling after each step. Once the puppy starts to walk, he did not crawl. The first teeth to erupt within the 20-th day, and he begins to chew and bite. In the same period, the puppy begins to wag the tail, although this is not a consequence of what they had seen or heard them, because Puppy is not able to analyze the environment.
Puppy begins to respond to the sounds of an average of 19.5 days, but so far unable to locate its source.
This critical period - the period of most rapid physical changes. In just one week of a newborn, unable to hear, walk and defecate without stimulation, and self samosogrevatsya is, turns into a puppy that can do it all yourself.
PERIOD OF UNDERSTANDING
(21-28 days)
This is the first week, during which the puppy learns to use sight and hearing. Since changes in its sensory perceptions occur very quickly, most puppies in a 24-hour period, he needs a stable environment. During this period he has the greatest need for his mother and familiar surroundings. Weaning from breast or transfer of all litter in the new location at this time, in all probability, will have a negative impact on the psyche of puppies.
Study peace begins within a period of Understanding. This time in the life of a puppy, when he begins to know something, what should be a dog.
Dog Period of Socialization
(21-49 days)
From 21 to 49 per day or 3.7 weeks - Canine Socialization Period, when the puppy learns to behavioral characteristics that make it a dog.
To achieve their genetic behavioral potential, the puppy must remain in the nest with his mother and littermates during this time. During this period, he will practice facial expressions, different body positions and vocalization, and to study their effect on the brothers, mother and any other dogs he met. He learns to bark, as well as studying the effect of their barking and barking at the siblings siblings themselves. He begins to understand how its bite on the brothers, and felt to his cost of their bites.
He is studying different models of behavior that make it a dog: the pursuit game - an imitation of prosecution, to catch and shoot down "production" - teach him coordination and proper distribution of forces; greeting behavior teaches him the correct posture for the greeting; power games teach him how to properly use a variety of body positions in various situations. For example, during the game, when the situation is aggravated and threatened to end in painful sting, the puppy learns that the posture of submission can neutralize the aggression of his siblings.
During this critical period, the puppy learns one of the most important lessons in his life - the notion of discipline. He gets it from her mother, who does not allow the puppy to bite himself strongly, or during weaning, when it shows the puppies, so they left her alone.
"HUMAN" Period of Socialization
(7-12 weeks)
The best time to bring the puppy in his new home - during the "Man" period of socialization, 50-84 days or 7.12 weeks. This is also the best time to introduce him to those things that will play an important role in his future life. For example, if the puppy will live on a farm, it is precisely at this age, he should get acquainted with the animals that live there. If the breeder has not yet introduced a puppy with the sounds of a vacuum cleaner, car engines and city traffic, it must be subjected to them now. Children, men with beards, women in broad-brimmed hats and old people with canes - all "types" of people it is desirable to know the puppy during this period.
At 7 weeks of age puppies electroencephalogram shows that his brain impulses are similar to adult dog. His ability to concentrate is not high and the attention span is very short, but he was able to learn. Not only that a puppy can be trained, it will be something to learn, whether we teach it or not. This is the age when there is a very short learning curve for the entire period of the dog's life. All that he feels at this time, makes the greatest impression on him than ever before in another time. Education at this age is permanent.
Because of the relative ease of learning at this age (because the puppy still has no bad habits, which must be corrected), it is - the perfect time to teach obedience, which must be taught, taking into account its physical limitations and short attention in a positive, game style.
PERIOD EFFECTS OF FEAR
(8-11 weeks)
During the period of exposure of Fear, from 8 to 11 weeks, any traumatic, painful or frightening experiences will have a lasting effect on the puppy than if it happened at any other time. For example, a visit to a puppy vetkliniki at this time and received it a painful experience can ever get the dog to fear the visits to the vet. Bring a favorite toy and treats to make a pleasant potentially dangerous for the puppy experience.
PERIOD CLASSIFICATION Seniority
(13-16 weeks)
This critical period from 13 to 16 weeks, also known as the "Age reductions" - reducing the number of teeth and reducing dependence on the mother or other elders. During the period of the Classification seniority puppy is trying to understand and decide for themselves the question of leadership.
PERIOD INSTINCT "Flight"
(4-8 months)
Period Instinct "Flight" is somewhere between 4 and 8 months of life a puppy. This is the time when the puppy tries to themselves "on the wing. He would often get into risky situations, willfully fleeing and "off" their ears, when he served the team.
Period Instinct "flight" lasts from several days to several weeks. So, what sort of education was a puppy until it affects the lightness or severity of the passage of this period the puppy and the owner. Since the majority of dog owners do not know about this naturally occurring stage of development, they begin to properly respond to it, thus creating problems for themselves in the future.
Phenomenon Instinct "Flight" - the main reason to attend elementary school with a puppy obedience.
There is a physiological process, which corresponds to the period Instinct "Flight" - is teething. By 6 months of molars sprout through the gums and fully staffed between 6 and 10 months. At this time a young dog is a physiological need something to take their teeth, ie chew.
SECOND PERIOD OF THE EFFECTS OF FEAR
(6-14 months)
This period, also called period of fear of new situations, as uncertain as the first. Second Fear Impact Period corresponds growth spurt. Consequently, it can happen more than once with the growth of the dog.
During this period, noted a change in the behavior of young dogs. She may suddenly refuse to come closer to something unknown or to be frightened by something or someone you know. When the dog shows fear or unwillingness to something closer, do not need to enter into a confrontation with a dog, forcing her to "be brave", or reinforce their fears through kindness. Power can scare the dog more, and reassuring tone and tenderness can only serve as an encouragement to her fears.
Fear of a young dog should be met with patience and kindness. A dog can decide for themselves - whether to have the case or not with the object that triggered her fear. Overcoming this period is to create certain conditions that the dog probably has successfully overcome, and encourage her for it, thus strengthening it in confidence.
MATURITY
(1-4 years)
Many breeds, especially the giant, continues to grow and change physically, and after four years. Therefore the concept of maturity in dogs more closely related to sexual maturity, but not to full height. The average maturity of the dogs is somewhere between half and three years of age in small breeds earlier, while the giant - later age. This critical period is often marked increase in aggression and renewed testing for lead.
Neonatal
(from birth to 12 days)
Neonatal period (1-12 days) is dedicated to meet two needs - getting food and warmth.
A newborn puppy is physically DEPENDENT. He needs a warm environment to maintain their body temperature. He needs physical stimulation to urinate and defecate.

Power can scare the dog more, and reassuring tone and tenderness can only serve as an encouragement to her fears.
Fear of a young dog should be met with patience and kindness. A dog can decide for themselves - whether to have the case or not with the object that triggered her fear. Overcoming this period is to create certain conditions that the dog probably has successfully overcome, and encourage her for it, thus strengthening it in confidence.
MATURITY
(1-4 years)
Many breeds, especially the giant, continues to grow and change physically, and after four years. Therefore the concept of maturity in dogs more closely related to sexual maturity, but not to full height. The average maturity of the dogs is somewhere between half and three years of age in small breeds earlier, while the giant - later age. This critical period is often marked increase in aggression and renewed testing for lead.
Naughty dog? Reeducate.
Why my dog is so ill-mannered? - A question arises at any master disobedient dog who sees a restrained, full of dignity shepherd his neighbor. And begins to try to the best of my understanding re animal (in a mature age!), Using kindness and beatings absolutely uncontrolled. As a result, the host infect hairy friend his nervousness, but after the dog - an indicator of human behavior, it absorbs the particular nature of the holder and fixes in the memory as absolutely necessary commands. Let's try to understand the typical mistakes of education and how they can be corrected.
Common bad habits:
1. Dog spins at the table, begging for a piece.
2. Dog fawns all incoming visitors, as well as rushing to any person who had appeared in her field of view (if the animal is sufficiently large, the problems could not be avoided).
3. Dog in your absence sleeps on the bed and the other wrong places.
4. The dog steals food from the table when the hosts for a moment out of the room.

Not list all! And in all the bad habits of a pet blame yourself. Well, try to figure out how to fix it.
Give me a sausage for good luck ...
The dog at the table will not rotate if you are on the first day were strict: first feeding a puppy, then send him to his seat, and only then sat there for yourself, gently, and strongly discouraging the dog attempts to penetrate to the table. In this case, when the animal will grow and will receive less food than people, the process of laying the table will not cause him food reflex. Alas, as a rule, the owners tend to pamper puppies, and to correct mistakes committed in childhood is very difficult. But still ... As can be seen even walk the dog before dinner, and tired, lie down on the run into a place with a rigid command: Location! If the pet is able to guard the thing, you can switch her desire to plead for a piece of his duty of protection. If there is a helper, who several times during dinner will provoke the dog to enhance the protection, trying to take away the thing - even better.
How effective way you can invite someone from the household to sacrifice a team lunch. While everyone is eating, a volunteer will play with the dog in another room, not only thwarting its attempts to penetrate to the table, but also removing the game occurring food reflex.
I love the owner. And his shoes
If a dog chews shoes or tearing of the book, it does not on its own, and your fault. The natural instinct for puppies is that lying next to a shoe they perceive as prey, had brought them older members of the pack. Moreover, to polutoragodavalogo age they should chew on something hard, especially when my teeth. Let the house there are always handy sticks, special stones, balls. Try, for cats, to tie the door handle: with a stick more interesting to play, to tear, to carry off.
How can you leave your puppy at least one - from nothing, he begins шкодить (in principle, it applies to adult animals). Any attempt to bite books and other things should be stopped immediately, but gently, and not rude. Best of all - to switch attention to a toy bone. Punishing a puppy after some time after the offense is completely useless. On the contrary, Loupian baby torn book, you'll get the opposite result. Not only that a puppy will have to be afraid, he still finds the same books their potential enemies. And in your absence, will try to deal with them in full.
The best advice - to hide all the shoes from the puppy: no shoes - nothing to chew on. And usually by age of one year the dog becomes indifferent to the shoes. You can leave a specially old shoes, poured inside the pepper or small tobacco. By the way, pepper helps wean the dog to climb onto the bed. Spread on top of an old bed sheet, sprinkle with pepper and small walk away. When you return, pet it will still be dissatisfied with sneezing and an evil look at the inhospitable bed.

It is very difficult to rehabilitate the dogs that come to the excitement before the paddock, cross the street, ride the bus. Of course, it would be great if you have to walk slowly dressed puppy collar. Outside the door, forced him to sit down a bit, until you close the door, encouraging delicacy. Down the stairs, made a special stop at the sites, at the same time mastering the commands sit, lie down, stand up and encouraging each.
How wonderful it would be if you had a little puppy slowly crossed the road, stood at bus stops, chatting with the child and knowingly practicing restraint. And if they were in the bus, then slowly, not pulling the dog.
But you did not do it!
So now, we will re-education, applying strict collar and various types of distraction. Find a quiet street, again and again-model of transition, the change rate movements, with stops and even landing in the middle of the road. The main thing - at least passers-by, a delicacy in the form of promotion and patience. Do not be nasty to the dog - can only be angry at themselves
Cat - not the enemy. It's just another
It is clear that, ideally, no dog should not chase after pigeons, cyclists, soccer players and, of course, cats. If you have properly raised a puppy, not too lazy to drive it past the cat, even went to visit a friend the cat, it would be treated if not indifferent, then at least restrained.
Dogs chase cats, not because they hate each other. The fact is that dogs and cats speak different languages - Similar gestures have their different meanings. Cat, wagging its tail, expressed anger, the dog - on the contrary. And then, the dog runs only for escaping a cat (unless, of course, it is not specifically play off). Once the kitten climbs a tree, or simply stops and turns to the dog, she loses all interest. Because there was nothing to encourage a race run over cats.
And still use the well-known fact: in his youth cats and dogs happy friends. Start your puppy and kitten at the same time - become a witness touching moments in the first place. Secondly, a puppy, grown with the cat in the same house, driving like a friend will not. Hence, the neighbors - the owners of cats will not take your dog of dog-killer ....

Dogs and Art
The number of breeds of dogs, especially hunting, grew. In the XVII century. France was the first place the number of breeds of hunting dogs. All the French kings loved to hunt and did so with a truly royal scale and luxury. It was at this time is the emergence of rock chien blanc du roi (royal white dogs), elegant, healthy, have no equal in the hunt in a pack. Through exchanges, trade and conflicts between various European states, these are noble and educated, beautiful and friendly animals who do not have an unrivaled loyalty, strength and intelligence, have become very popular. They were immortalized by the greatest artists who depicted them lying at the feet of the noble proprietors.
For several centuries artists put on his paintings of dogs, illustrating a person's love for these animals. The pictures of the Renaissance has many beautiful dogs. Among the famous artists who painted dogs were Durer, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Titian, Bosch, Brueghel the Elder, Rubens, Canaletto, Velasquez, Goya. The list is endless.
In poetry, theater and love for dogs has also found expression: it is enough to mention Lorenzo de 'Medici and Shakespeare.
In the XIX century. consolidation of democratic forces in England and the Revolution in France changed the lives of not only people but also dogs.
Gone huge pack of hounds, which kept the gentry, but the passion of people to hunt remained. Hunters of the middle class were content with one or two dogs, if only they were fast and had a good scent. The most prized dog, make a point in the form of production, so the British brought pointer breeders, breed, which became famous.
Start of specialization dogs
In the Middle Ages dogs were kept in monasteries as an escort, they may have helped smooth over the monks loneliness. Thus, in the Abbey of St.. Hubert in the Belgian Ardennes was launched Blood Hound. Also, according to reliable sources, the German monks, who needed a dog that can protect the monastery from the attacks, brought a German shepherd.
It was during this period began specialization of hunting dogs. Pointers and setters used to search for prey, a dog with a good scent shoo deer Greyhounds used to prosecute mining; Molossian dogs accompanied the hunters on the buffalo and bear. Small dogs, which called beaver, at this time also began to be used for burrowing hunt fox and hare. Thus, the first terriers.
Following the example of the Great Khan's Mongols, who, according to Marco Polo, took to hunt a pack of five thousand, European nobles had a thousand to fifteen hundred hunting dogs.
Soldiers Queen Elizabeth I in suppressing the Irish rebels helped at least eight dogs, and Spanish conquistadors during their conquest of America were accompanied by large dogs, dressed in armor.
In the civil, military and sporting life of the dog began to play a big role. Already there were treatises on the care of a dog, which was recommended to keep a dog in heat, if they returned tired from the hunt, every day of their comb, to keep clean their bowls, commented on the nutrition of dogs and how the sea water to cure a dog from eczema .
In the Middle Ages, veterinary science has been very approximate. At the same time, dogs were used for the treatment of human diseases. Thus, it was thought that the blood of a white dog can cure madness, and black - helps with the heavy labor. The first knowledge of veterinary medicine and surgery in Europe come from Arab countries.
Veterinarian - friend or foe?
Anyone who has a dog, one way or another, faced with a vet. A vaccination dressing, remove the tartar and the need for other procedures lead us pet clinic. In principle, with simple procedures can handle, and the student - an intern, but when you need to determine the correct diagnosis, there is not enough without experience and successful medical activities. In this article I would like to think a bit about who we entrust the health of our pets.
Most often, we go to pet clinic, which are located near our house, and well, if the level corresponds to our requirements: professional, nice staff, reasonable prices, sterility. And we get used to the pleasant, long time friend's uncle, who knows our dogs by name and when meeting shakes her behind the ear. But all this does not mean that he can cope with a serious problem with which we came to him. Few doctors will say honestly that he was not sufficiently competent in this matter. Often, even if so, begins the writing of medical amateur or harmless, but not help drug. Given all this, it makes sense to find a sensible person "in the worst case, even if it is on the other end of town.
Unfortunately, sometimes doctors make mistakes, even the best. Yes, they need to listen, but decisions must not take them, and we, the owners of dogs. No one can force the only way to cure or "urgent" to do a shot. All this is very serious. There are many cases when the incorrect diagnosis of a dog begin to heal from a non-existent disease, and often such treatment leads to weakening and death of the animal. Of course, it wants to shift all the doctors, but alas, responsible owners will still have to understand in each case itself.
Veterinary - not God, moreover, have different doctors often have opposing views about the same ... So it turns out - after visiting the vet, we arrive home, open the encyclopedia, the Internet, and - in advance - to examine the symptoms and treatments. If you have any information, you are not so easily fooled, you can ask specific questions, what may surprise many vet, but in this case there is an opportunity to draw attention to the way he answers your questions, whether he truly wants to help you, or only beginning to prescribe expensive drugs that you can buy them in pharmacies.
Do not blindly believe what the doctor said. If you're a little unsure, or something you are alerted to the man himself - not too lazy to consult at least one more specialist. Turn in all the tests, do an ultrasound or X-rays (if needed), and show the results of several doctors from different clinics. If the diagnosis is confirmed, already there is hope that he is correct. And only after the diagnosis, you can begin treatment. Learn all the possible ways to treat and what alternative treatment options. If you do not care about your dog, do not rush just indiscriminately give her all the prescribed medications, you can cause any harm. Also, do not poke antibiotics or hormones needlessly.
If the dog does not need emergency help from the injection site and not depend on her life, to spelled substances should be treated very cautiously: to observe the dose and all prescriptions. Remember: drugs alter the chemical composition of the organism is, can weaken the immune system, affect the internal making bodies can do without the tablets - take advantage of it. Dog trusts us, we depend on her health and life. Let us be vigilant when choosing a veterinarian, and then everything will be fine!

WAR AND PEACE: different attitude to dogs
At the beginning of XX century, the dogs enjoyed enormous popularity. They were not only participants in the exhibitions, pets, army, guard, pastoral and hunting dogs: an image four-legged friends of man could be seen on talismans, toys, and various wood carvings, trading stamps, postcards and coats of arms. In this regard it should be noted that even in the middle ages pictures of hounds, greyhounds, mastiffs and Great Dane noble families put on their coats of arms. Dogs were the most important symbol in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance art - hunting and war.
At all times of the war led to the extermination of dogs: poverty and poverty make people forget about the fact that someone other than him, also need food. In 1871, during the siege of Paris by the Prussian army in the French capital was left not only dogs but also horses, cats, birds and mice. Similarly, already during the last two world wars, a large number of dogs died, lost their home or host. During the wars of the dogs are not only used in the army, but were friends of those who had the worst thing: soldiers on the front of prisoners. In 1943, during the retreat of Soviet forces soldiers accompanied the dog who did not want to leave those who shared with them the last.
