Each dog has to have a collar. They are various - for a certain extent, groups of breeds and types of training. Not always and not at all dogs the process of accustoming takes place smoothly. Rather often the puppy negatively reacts to actions of the owner, unclear for it. Spins, tries to pull down from itself a collar, sometimes "takes offence" - hides in a corner, does not play, does not react to teams or just lays down and whines. However if you correctly behave, then will quickly cope with a situation.
Instruction
1. Buy for a puppy a plain leather collar, soft and easy, 2-2.5 cm wide. For the first time it is put on at the age of 3-4 months. You watch that it was not strongly tightened or, on the contrary, is too free. Adjust it so that moving back back, the dog could not jump out of it. Punch additional openings if in it there is a need. Between a collar and a neck of a dog have to pass two of your fingers freely.
2. Call up a puppy to yourself, stroke, tenderly talk, give delicacy. Show it a collar, allow to sniff at it. First put it on a puppy in the course of the game. If he shows discontent, try to distract it. In about 5 minutes take off a collar. Praise the kid, stroke him, give something tasty. Repeat the same during the day several times. Gradually increase time of stay of a puppy in a collar. Do not forget to encourage it constantly. Do not force and do not allow rough, sharp movements. Try that the collar was associated at it with the pleasant moments – a game, delicacy. Gradually the kid will cease to pay attention to him.
3. After the puppy got used to a collar enough, leave it on it is mute and already do not remove any more. But if he nevertheless continues to be nervous, try to change tactics. Put on a collar and fasten a lead before feeding. A bowl with food stand in a far corner so that the puppy saw it. When it goes to food, hold a lead slightly tense. And when will begin to eat, put on a floor. Make it within several days. The puppy will knit a collar and a lead with the pleasant moment – feeding.
4. Very often after the dog began to be brought to the street, the problem is solved by itself. The kid quickly understands that the collar and a lead is a walk. So, one more pleasant moment.
5. In process of growth of a puppy regulate the collar size. In 6-8 months replace it usual standard.
