How to Be a Qualified Dog Owner
Czech Terrier (Detailed Introduction)
Dogs are not just simple pets to us; their existence may be like another family member. Therefore, at the very moment we welcome them through the door, an invisible responsibility is added upon us. Since we are going to raise dogs, we must be responsible for them. How to be a qualified dog owner is something every dog owner should understand.
As a dog's owner, your job is to ensure the dog understands you have control over it and that you hold the top position in the entire group: you are always its leader and controller. When the dog is very young, by establishing your control and leadership, you can make it realize that from now on and throughout its whole life, you are its leader.
Before the puppy comes to your home, it should understand that humans are always at the top of the social structure. A responsible dog feeder should gradually and step-by-step let the dog know its owner has absolute leadership over it. Training and communication can start when the dog is three weeks old, reinforced again during weaning and grooming periods. Playtime can also strengthen their recognition of their social status.
Every interaction you have with the dog can convey an important message: “I will be responsible for your health and happiness; you can trust me, and I will fulfill my duties.” Before this, the dog may have already seen the feeder as above itself. Now, the dog is in your family, and it is your turn to continue establishing this connection. Like the feeder, you must build your leadership status. To do this, the dog must first understand your control over it; only in this way can it be safe in the larger environment beyond the family.
If you want to be a qualified dog owner, you must have some understanding of your dog’s personality traits before raising it. Usually, you should communicate more with people with dog-raising experience, browse the internet to check dog care methods, and learn what to pay attention to when raising dogs. Only with a certain understanding of dogs can we raise them more skillfully.
