So I'm getting a dogga!
first off, no rawhide. The swollow it and it's not good AT ALL for their digestive system.
get a real bone....they have like hickory flavored ones. The local pets mart for sum reason stopped carrying them eher...so my dogs breath is now rank and her teeth are gettin dirtier.
get Iams dog food.....good like science diet but better for bigger dogs. Either or rlly....doesn't matter bu tI heard iams was best for big dogs
Take the dog on walks as a pup ALL the time, play with the dogs feet and clip her nails often, even if they dont need to be, so she gets used ot it. if u are good about it for the first yr or 2 of her life....EVERYTHING will go smoothly afterwards. get her comfortable w/ EVERYTHING...that means ppl too.
a cool lil feature about dogs....if u take yer dog outside to take a piss and/or shit put them on a leash and take them to one corner of the yard...if u do this for a while, that's where they will always piss/shit. SO you can get this to just go in one corner...I would do this for the first yr of their life.....atleast till they get potty trained really good.
Hope this helps....and as ppl ahve already said, make sure the dog knows who's boss.
PS. dont ever hit your dog (use coller to punish) or feed it human food (ruins their insides and makes them pests) also, never sleep w/ yer dog in the same bed/area (or let them get on couches/seats u use) cuz they will see you as an equal or above u and life is shitty after that.
I think that's all now, haha
