Ask the Trainer with Dominic Knossalla
Question : Together with her husband three years ago from a shelter, we took our beloved dog Ollie. I am pregnant with our first child and a little afraid as Ollie would react to the baby. So far, his behavior toward children was wrong, and generally fond of children. Is there any way to prepare your dog for the baby?
Answer: After the birth of a child will probably have less time for walking the dog. Even now start to give him all his meals in the form of educational toys and various types of bone to ensure proper dosage dog mental effort and given the opportunity to burn calories in a passive manner. Three to five hours a day chewing and eating makes the acquisition that we have a more peaceful and happier dog. Olli Prepare for the necessary reduction in its "freedom" in the apartment, which occurs after birth. Right now it start to get used to separation from you using the protective gate, cage or on a leash by attaching it to a solid piece of furniture. To this new experience for him to make nice, I always give him a bone or a good educational toy - a kong - filled with food, to work out. Place his message where it will be attached. Limit Olli jump on you by ignoring the behavior or the use of so-called short isolation. time outs. Similarly, conduct yourself in case of barks, does not attribute importance to him until he barks, or use today's short-isolation for the closest door (up to 1minuty), consistently every time it starts to bark. Will also be useful to learn Olli commands such as' go to ... .. 'or' go / go "with, for example the couch. Take the puppy out of baby things: creams, nappies, rattles, etc. gryzakami. Learn Olli exercise on verbal command 'Sit', 'lie' and 'Stay' side of things the child. When the command will be firmly controlled, for the purposes of training and lie his toy among the belongings of the baby. If you do not obey commands and will try to reach for a toy or play with things a child, for any attempt to use a short isolation disobedience. If the dog remains in place nicely, give him a reward of his toy. Consistently use particular techniques of positive reinforcement, and soon you will have great results!
