Answer 1

yes she can sleep with you as long as you don't mind because then she will want to do it all the time. you should get some toys, puppy chow, a leash and collar for her. take her to the vet to get her shots and flea medicine and a checkup. then you will need to feed her according to the instructions on the bag. normally for a puppy its like 3 times a day. in the morning, when you get home from school and at night before bed. walk her a lot, especially when she is a puppy. that way you can train her to go potty outside. keep an eye on her and take her out if she looks like she wants something. always keep fresh water in her bowl. ask your babysitter if she can help you train the puppy and teach it tricks. it seems like she knows what she is doing so i'm sure her advice will help you greatly. if you can't take care of it in the long term then don't commit to taking her.

Congratulations to your new dog! To instruct the dog to obey instructions you have got to be regular. Always use the equal word or phrase and regularly talk within the equal tone of voice. Speak on your typical voice. Do no longer yell. Yelling frightens the dog and won't instruct him/her a factor. You would possibly feel that it does, due to the fact that simply as an illustration say the dog has performed whatever that he/she is not intended to do and also you turn out to be annoyed with Puppy and also you yell "No". The dog will transfer clear of you and you can also feel that you've taught him/her whatever and this may not occur once more. Well, you could be part proper. You have taught the dog whatever via yelling at her/him and that's to be scared of you due to the fact that the dog may not realise why you are yelling. Please talk in a typical voice or a gentle voice whilst you talk to the dog. In order to instruct the dog the command "No" first determined what the dog can do and what the dog is not intended to do. Some of that is seen to you and your loved ones. Some is probably not when you've got kids similar to you do not wish the dog at the furnishings due to the fact that it (the furnishings) gets soiled and it'll get puppy hair. After you determine together with your loved ones what's O.K. for the dog to do and what isn't O.K., then every person must use the equal phrase or phrases to instruct the dog. Puppys be trained via repetition. Just preserve at it and beautiful quickly you are going to have a exceptional good behaved dog. Also, please don't hit the dog--despite a rolled up newspaper. People say that in the event you do that the dog or the puppy won't companion it with you however this isn't actual. The dog can see who's keeping that newspaper. If you wish to area the dog you must no longer hit or yell. I had a dog that I crate informed and while she could no longer obey me after repeatedly, then I could placed her in her crate for what's referred to as a "day trip." I could no longer placed her within the crate after which placed her in a room via herself--she could have felt deserted. Instead I placed the crate within the room with me and I sat and talked to her till she calmed down after which I instantly allow her out. You would possibly do that. As to instructing the dog to not chunk, and to not bark-- puppys bark--that is typical however to instruct her to quit barking, simply talk on your typical voice and inform her "No" or "Be particularly" or "Hush" or whatever like that. As a long way as instructor her to not chunk, first be definite that the man or woman isn't teasing the puppy. Biting is likely one of the methods that puppies and puppys have of protecting themselves. If the man or woman had no longer teased the dog, simply talk on your typical voice to the dog and inform him/her "No" or "The postman is our pal" or whatever alongside those traces. This will take awhile, however puppies are intelligent. Keep at it as I stated previous and beautiful quickly you are going to have a good-mannered dog. I practically neglected the final side of your query. Since the dog is white a few names possibly Snowball Frosty (male) Also you must make a record of names that you simply like and names that swimsuit the dog. Take a couple of days and watch the dog and you are going to discover the dog's character and you can also wish to make a reputation from a attribute that he/she has. For illustration, I had a combined breed terrier. The identify she had while I first obtained her used to be wholly irrelevant. I made a record of names that I preferred and I watched the dog and I spotted that she walked like a woman and held her head identical to a woman and so my new dog grew to become Lady.

Kennel training is the only way to go. TRUST ME. And trust me on this...do NOT PAPER TRAIN. Paper training teaches the dog it's OKAY to pee in the house. Then you have to totally retrain the dog to pee outside.

Look up kennel training. Its easy, but you have to stick to the rules 100 percent. The moment you get home, go straight to the dog and take her out....to the exact same spot...until she goes. Then praise...and back in. No playing. Wait ten minutes, back out. Back in, food, out in 15 minutes, tops. Back in, wait, back out.
