Education and training Spitz

Spitz in its appearance is very similar to a toy. Looking at him from the side, some people doubt for some reason that this loud, restless miracle can be taught to order. But if in time to take up the education and training, over time, you can be proud of what an obedient and quick-witted dog in the house. When training you need to adhere to the characteristics of the breed and the nature of a particular pet.

Spitz dogs have great charm. Unconditional sympathy for a small dog sometimes leads to the fact that it grows naughty and capricious. This one is also like with small beautiful children who, having matured, become uncontrollable due to the fact that in their time everything was forgiven to them and there were no prohibitions for them. To make such a dog a worthy member of the "flock of two-legs", one should take into account the positive and negative aspects of the character. The advantages of the breed include:

• cheerful cheerful disposition;
• friendliness;
• living mind;
• fidelity;
• cleanliness;
• patience with children;
• desire to please the master.

Among the shortcomings are the following:

• Spitz by nature tend to dominate, these manipulators quickly "sit on the neck";
• bullies by nature, even the size of their opponent does not stop them, which threatens the spitz itself with herbs;
• loudly, shrill bark, including being alone in the house, which annoys others, including neighbors;
• require greater attention to themselves, which makes them overly assertive and forces hooligans;
• show waywardness, not paying attention to the host commands;
• They are suspicious of strangers, may rush at the guest or bark at him;
• Do not tolerate drunks, which leads to trouble.

When a spitz or boy appears in the house, he immediately needs to be made to understand who is the boss here. You have to take into account the sex of the animal. It should be borne in mind that spitz girls, contrary to popular belief about their softness, are often very independent and stubborn. The spitz-boy is more tender and devoted, not as capricious as a girl, but at the same time it requires heightened attention compared to her.

At the same time, in the course of training, they are faster distracted, remaining in the shower puppies until old age.

In contrast, as they grow up, girls acquire nobility and restraint in behavior, ceasing to resemble the reckless, cheerful dunce of the opposite sex. Despite the pet's cutest appearance, the owner will have to immediately say goodbye to the idea that you can see through the pranks of the puppy through your fingers. By training spitz you can achieve the following:

• the pet will learn to behave in human society and among its own kind, which will ensure the well-being of himself and his master;
• the owner will not have to blush for the manners of a shaggy friend;
• the emotional connections between the owner and the dog will be strong;
• in the process of learning the pet will develop intelligence;
• it does not have to be locked in a separate room with the arrival of guests;
• Spitz will be tied to his home.

Start training should be no later than 2 months, and familiarity with the first teams - and 1.5. Due to this, the dog will behave properly at home. From 3 months, you can take measures to ensure that the dog learns to "decent behavior" in the big world. Seriously the teams work from 4 months. The principle of this work should be consistency and perseverance. The concessions are not allowed. The leader must be the leader, otherwise the pet will quickly realize that it is he who is the main domestic deity who can afford any behavior.

Two month old puppy need to buy:

• leash;
• collar and counter to it (where the contacts of the owner are indicated);
• toys;
• treats to encourage.

Without all these things, training is very difficult or simply impossible. The presence of a token will help out if during the classes the dog runs away and gets lost.

In order for a beloved puppy to quickly learn how to interact with a person, he needs to be trained in a number of basic commands, allow to behave properly in specific situations.

• Team "Place!". She needs to start teaching the baby as soon as he has her own corner in the house. The first time, uttering this word, the puppy needs to be transferred to its litter.
• Team "To me!". This is almost the main order for the dog, providing quick interaction. On the pet you need to put on a leash and say the team, showing him a snack. If the pet does not understand what they want from him, for a start he will have to pull the leash. Then he must learn to respond to the command, followed by the clap of the person at his hip.
• Team "Fu!". This short word is pronounced rudely and abruptly so that the little, shaggy friend can feel the leader’s displeasure. On the puppy should be a harness, tugging for which you can not allow the kid to pull into the mouth all the muck from the ground or indulged.
• Team "Sit!". Exercise for learning the appropriate action takes place on a short leash. The baby needs to bring a treat to his nose, raise his hand higher and say the command. When the puppy sits, treat him with the promised delicacy.
• Team "Lie." The dog should master this instruction after learning to sit down by the order of the owner. From a sitting position it is easier for him to demonstrate what is required of him. The dog needs to press down on the withers and without sharpness pull the leash down so that the dog takes a recumbent posture.
• Team "Give". It is convenient to work out during the game. Need to take a favorite pet toy. And when he grabs her teeth, you should say the appropriate word. When the spitz gives up the thing, approve it with a piece of goodies.
• Team "Walk!". The word uttered before leaving the house is usually easily perceived by the child, and he will obey orders with pleasure.
• Team "Voice!". She needed to teach Spitz to bark only on the case. “Prize” is given to smell, and then they raise their hand, uttering the right word. When the dog yelps, hand the promised.
• Team "Near!". Calls on a shaggy friend to walk on a leash near the owner's foot. So that the dog does not run forward and does not trudge behind, it must be held in the right place with the help of a leash. At the same time the dog should not feel discomfort.

It is better to teach the “Place!” And “Foo!” Commands in the interval from 1.5 to 2 months. Up to 3 months, the spitz should master the commands “To me!”, “Sit!”, “Walk!”, And up to 6 - “Next!”, “Give!”.

Raising a Spitz kid requires comprehensive measures.

Small dog systematically need to take with you, going on business to the city, to the country and so on. For transportation fit a small bag. Small spitz-dogs do well in it without inconvenience. Feeling under the protection of the leader, the baby will not begin to whine and bark.If he often turns out to be among strangers, he will quickly stop straining at the sight of many strangers and street fuss.

Also a little spitz should learn to communicate with other dogs. Previously, the pet needs to make all the vaccinations, put by age, and then go to the place where other dog owners walk their four-legged buddies.

It is necessary to teach the child not to bark at larger relatives. Well, if the dog will be able to make friends with other puppies. Walking should be sufficient for the spitz to be able to run in and throw out its irrepressible energy. Then in the house he will be able to behave calmly. In addition, it will save the apartment from disorder, which can make a dog that has not found another application of their forces.

The procedure depends a lot on how intelligibly the pet was explained what is possible and what is not. To avoid incidents, the dog must be given the opportunity to scratch his teeth on special toys, and not on the master's shoes. To raise a little pet is the same as teaching the rules of behavior of an innocent child. You need to be prepared for the fact that minor domestic troubles are possible, but if you show patience, everything will work out.

If the dog behaves completely uncivilized, the person feeling helpless can hit the pet. Physically punishing an animal is unacceptable and pointless - the dog will become aggressive and apathetic.

If the spitz begins to bark at passers-by, the owner reasonably switches his attention to the toy. The mistake in this case is to immediately start playing or give a treat. The dog decides that loud barking is worthy of encouragement. The pet will come to the same conclusions, if, in case of inappropriate behavior, take him in your arms. For a dog, this means: you are doing the right thing, buddy, and so on.

A mistake will require the puppy to perform commands that are beyond his age, both in terms of physical development and in terms of available skills. One should not bore him by repeatedly repeating the same actions, trying to “drive into the head” a certain technique.
