Getting a dog, most of people imagines how they will play with an unruly cheerful puppy, to scratch him behind an ear and to iron a tummy – these kids such darlings. However the puppy brought to the house can have the opinion and turn aside, and even show aggression in response to the hand given by you.
To gain trust
The fact that the puppy which you brought from the manufacturer only recently does not allow to stroke himself – quite normal reaction. All dogs have different temperament: some are sociable, friendly and with ease make contact, others admit to themselves only those to whom trust, avoiding touches from strangers. The puppy does not know you yet therefore before climbing with embraces, show to an animal that he can trust you. Do not insist on touches, but talk to a dog more often, treat with delicacy when the puppy runs about to you, involve a dog in a game. After a while the puppy itself also will substitute you a fluffy side.If the puppy is some time at your place, but still does not make contact, most likely, you somewhere made a mistake. Most often the fact that the puppy was too strongly abused for any fault is the reason or owners at all not could explain well to him rules of conduct in the house that puts a dog in extremely awkward situation. Try to constrain the heat of the trainer and more often you praise, than punish the pet. Gradually your relations will be improved.
Personal spaceAs well as the person, for a dog has the personal space. Depending on breed and features of character, some dogs are ready to embrace everyone (as sometimes and some sociable people), and others prefer to interact with the person at a certain distance, avoiding contact. If your puppy treats the second type, respect its interests. Intending to stroke an animal, pay his attention to yourself, having called by name that the touch did not become surprise. Do not try to embrace or take on hands of the puppy sleeping or occupied with the affairs. In case you gave a hand, and the dog evades, you should not swear, defiantly to take offense or lament that the dog does not love you. Recede, and in a few minutes call up a puppy to yourself, stroke him and treat with delicacy.
Game
You give a hand in hope to fray a puppy for an ear, but the animal can regard such step as the offer to join the game and to seize your brush sharp teeth. It does not mean that at you the aggressive and uncontrollable dog grows, just he, as well as many kids, wants to play. That your hands constantly did not suffer, accustom the pet that it is possible to gnaw, catch and catch up only with toys, and your extremities for this purpose do not approach in any way. After few weeks of trainings the puppy will begin to distinguish that want from him, will not be mistaken and without problems will give itself to stroke.
