We tend to minimize the importance of using our dog’s collar and identification tag, after all, when we are at home, resting quietly, locked up in the protection of our home, why is this needed, what’s more, there are people who do without it even when leaving the house, because your dog is so obedient that it always follows you, but did you know that when a dog gets lost and does not bring the tag, the chances of finding it are reduced to almost zero.
Yes, that is the main reason why he should always wear a name tag at all times, because it is thanks to it that he can return home in a contingency.
Well, I’d like to tell you that there are tons of other reasons to wear it all the time, even when you’re at home, but basically that’s the only reason, which is an undeniable reason: the name tag is the only tool the dog has so he can come home.
Now, although that is the only reason to put it on, you should know that if there are different scenarios that can put the dog at risk of being lost forever, and if he does not have a tag, he will never return home.
Simple, if you want to prevent the dog from getting lost, and if he will, if a person finds him, by bringing a tag he can locate you to return it to you.
My puppy’s first walk
Just like a baby’s first walk, when you take a puppy for a walk for the first time, it’s quite a process, one that seems more like a ritual in which you must be prepared to teach your dog the most important thing about his life. life, walks
Many people underestimate the importance of walks, and this is because they think of these walks as a human perceives them, but for the dog, walks are part of the routine, a necessary part of their emotional well-being and most importantly, in a walk you learn to socialize with other dogs and people.
This socialization process is very important and begins when a dog is a puppy, how he perceives the environment and how he relates to other living beings.
For this reason, many people who know about canine behavior and upbringing are always very aware of the first walk; in fact, there are experts who try to do it at a very early stage in life (third week of life), because it is at this time that the puppy learns the most important thing.
Now, this time thing is a bit debatable, and what is a fact is that you should never separate the puppy from the mother before its time, and the second most important thing is that the puppy should never be on the street, in contact with the floor and other animals, without deworming and vaccinations. This is really essential, since, without these two tools, the puppy will not be able to defend itself if diseases attack it.
So, before the first walk, there must always be vaccinations and deworming, so I advise you to consult with your veterinarian the ideal time for this first walk.
When this time comes, you should be prepared with:
a bib
A belt
Bags to collect your waste
Toys and Prizes
Much patience
The dog’s first walk
This must be a very fun moment, in which the puppy goes out to have fun and see the world, which is why experts recommend that these walks do not last more than 10 minutes, and whenever they happen, try to make them fun and the puppy considers them as the best.
It is also good that you reward his good behavior with edible prizes, such as walking with you, or following your orders.
The first walks require a lot of patience and you must always be attentive to your puppy, his needs, what he does and that he socializes correctly with others.
In addition, the walks are usually very fun, except when it comes to putting on the collar, if you have not accustomed your puppy to wearing the collar before, the easiest thing to do is to put a bib on it, in this panera he will not want to get away from it.
Another good tip is to let the puppy get familiar with the smell of the collar and leash.
Finally, whenever you take your dog for a walk, regardless of his age, he always has an identification plate.
