Russian hound puppies are cute and mischievous guys, however from the first days of acquiring a pet one must remember that this is not a home toy, but a future hunting dog. To bring up the puppy it is necessary to begin from the first hours of its being in the house.
Raising a Russian Hound puppy
The first thing from which the training of any animal begins is the teaching to the nickname. Then working off basic skills. The dog must obey the master unconditionally, otherwise the hunting instincts can play against you, and the pet will run away.
The second task of the owner is to tie the dog to himself. Puppies of Russian pig hounds are kept on the street, and therefore contact with the owner is made only during the period of feeding. During this time the dog can not get used to the person. That in the pet you saw not only the hunter, but also the friend, it is necessary to spend as much as possible time with it. While the dog is small, play with it more often, go on walks, caress. The faster the puppy gets attached to you, the better.
When raising a puppy of a Russian beagle, beatings are unacceptable. If the dog does not obey, you can shout at her, assaulting is allowed in very, very rare cases. One of these can be a puppy's disaccustomed to caressing other people's people. To do this, you need to negotiate with a friend who, during a walk, will entice a dog, will iron it and give it goodies. After that, he must scold and whip the dog. Offended dog will be at a loss and will certainly run for protection to the owner. Several such procedures and the dog will no longer approach the stranger.
Also very strictly necessary to wean the dog from domestic cattle. It is necessary to punish immediately by accident, and not through time, as the pet will not perceive such punishment. If you do not keep track of it in time, it will be impossible to wean an adult dog from hunting for livestock or poultry.
Feeding puppies of Russian hounds
The diet should include fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Give the dog porridge - this is the main source of carbohydrates - cooked on milk or with the addition of fat. So the dog will receive the necessary portion of fat. However, do not overdo it. Too fatty food is unacceptable. Sources of proteins are meat, liver, fish, dairy products, eggs. A baby needs to be fed more often than an adult dog. This is due to the high energy consumption of the growing body. Feed the puppy in small portions 3-4 times a day. The size of the portion depends on the age, sex, weight and activity of the animal. Watch the pet, and you yourself will understand how much food he needs.
