Although my dog is an ordinary local dog, I have never met a dog that is so calculating.
Because it was my first time raising a dog, I had no experience. In addition, the conditions at that time were limited, so I could only keep it in a cage. The dog was only a few months old at that time, and it had always been free-range, but suddenly it was put in a cage. It must have been all kinds of discomfort and anxiety that led to many problems. It would
yell at passers-by when taking a walk, not want to come back after being let out of the cage, and tear down the mats, and other behavioral problems. There was no other way but to use the Internet to find solutions, and try them once I found a method. Little by little, I finally found a solution, and my life became more and more harmonious.
Then the problem came, the dog became more and more shrewd as it grew older.
1. Feeding the
medicine The doctor said that if you give the anthelmintic directly to the dog, the dog will usually eat it by himself. Humph, you underestimated the smartness of my dog.
Dog: I have never eaten it before, and the taste is a bit strange. Say goodbye… turn around and leave…
The doctor suggested putting it in the meat, and it will basically be finished in one gulp.
Dog: I usually never eat such a big piece of meat, and suddenly I am given such a big piece. There must be something fishy, and I really want to eat such a big piece of meat. Then I will chew it slowly and see how it goes. If there is something else in it, I will spit it out and don’t eat it.
The doctor suggested force-feeding it directly.
It sounds like a good idea, but for a dog that needs four people to hold down its nails to cut them, and doesn’t want to walk after walking 20 or 30 meters downstairs to the pet hospital, it doesn’t seem to work. Pass. As a dog who is very observant, it may be difficult to succeed the first time when there are many people around. It won’t work the second time, because the dog will observe the steps you take first. When you start to prepare, he will start to hide in the corner and not come out, although he may succeed. The third and fourth times, he will hide faster and even resist more strongly. The third method failed.
In the end, you can only divide the anthelmintic into small pieces and put them in the special meatballs, according to the usual dosage and time. In this way, he will not be suspicious and eat it with peace of mind. If he eats a large piece, he will just spit out the medicine and eat the meatballs. Then you can put it back in the next time you give the meatballs.
Perfect solution.
2. Bathing
I have no experience in raising dogs. I have always forced my dog to bathe since it was young. The dog could not resist when it was young, but it was no longer possible when it grew up.
My friend suggested that I send it to a pet store for bathing. The staff in the pet store are more experienced. There is a local saying that the darker the mouth, the more fierce it is. When I see him, I think he will definitely bite people. I am a little scared of wearing a muzzle, and it is not easy for him to put on the muzzle. I had to bathe myself…
Dog: She is preparing bathing things, and she must bathe me. I quickly hid in the corner… I
failed
and didn’t want to bathe it. Unfortunately, the dog has oily skin. If it is not washed for a long time, bacteria and other things will easily accumulate and cause skin diseases.
I started to learn to act and no longer prepare for bathing. It was exactly the same as when I went out for a walk. I couldn’t change it at all. I took out the leash and said I was going out to play. I slowly let him relax his vigilance and put on the leash and took him into a dead corner. At this time, he also realized that there was no way out, and he obediently let me pick him up and take him to the bath.
Did you think the problem was solved? No, he tried to run out in the toilet in various ways and didn’t cooperate at all. There was no other way. At this time, I had to use a trick.
Praise him
as much as you can. Everyone likes good words, and dogs are no exception. The more exaggerated, the more effective it is. It can also calm the anxious dog down and let him know that this is not a bad thing. He will gradually accept the bathing and hair drying calmly. When everything is over, give him a big meatball and go out to play.
Perfect solution.
I told other dog lovers and doctors, and they didn’t believe that my dog could be so smart. I didn’t believe it before I had a dog!!!!!
