Be Firm Place Your New Puppy On A Pet Diet

When you are training a new puppy to take notice of you, you have to use a pleasant but firm tone of voice. A calm tone of voice lets your puppy know he is doing well, this boosts his confidence but remember; he is only a baby.

No yelling is allowed at any time - patience has to be a virtue if you want a puppy to feel confident and get used to what is expected of him. If your puppy shows signs of being tired just place him in dog bed. If your puppy is naughty, you need to ignore him; this is effective, and he will soon recognise he has to be good to get your attention.

What helps a puppy to understand that you are pleased with him is a treat. The sight and smell of a treat is a temptation your puppy, he will soon catch on that when he gets something right, he can eat his reward However, it is important to remember that a treat is �food’. Giving a puppy a treat has to be included in his pet diet.

To avoid your puppy from gaining too much weight feed him very small treats when he is learning to obey your commands. At Hills Pets we recognise dog nutrition is important to all breed of dogs, our dog food has quality ingredients which include the essential vitamins and quality meat products a dog needs to keep his bones and muscles strong and healthy.

Apportioning the correct amount of food for a puppy is essential; too much will expand his small stomach. Three or four portions a day is enough until he reaches adulthood. An adult dog can have larger portions of dog food. A change of portion size means he can have one or two meals a day, whichever fits into your daily routine; once again a pet diet has to include his treats.
