Husky puppies in 1-2 months: characteristics, food, walks and training

Puppies need special care and diet. Optimal conditions for the life of babies differ from those for adults. Of course, puppies of many dog ​​breeds (for example, huskies) look like cute plush toys, but one should not forget that they also need to be raised and even punished in some cases. Then, under all conditions, the baby can become a healthy dog ​​and a true friend to his master.

West Siberian huskies have well-developed hunting instincts. This breed was bred in order to enable these dogs to take a trace and live in the harsh conditions of the Urals and Siberia. As a result of lengthy work on the crossing and selection of suitable animals, the international standard of this breed was drawn up by two main groups - the Hunting and Mansiysk dogs. Representatives of the first differ from the second in that they have a dense body, a broad head and a short muzzle. Animals from the second subgroup are more sinewy and their muzzles are somewhat longer.

According to international standards West Siberian Laika is a medium height dog with a strong body and well-developed muscles. Average her height at withers is about 50-60 cm, but not more than 80 centimeters. Head in the form of an isosceles triangle with standing triangular ears. The muzzle can be long, and the skull is always wide.

The coat is of medium length. Well expressed thick undercoat. Around the neck the cover is stronger and thicker, forms a kind of “collar”. Coat color can be white suit, gray-white, gray-red, pinto, fawn, as well as black and white.

In appearance, the West Siberian huskies resemble wolves somewhat, especially noticeable at an early age (for example, in puppies a month or younger). However, their behavior is different. By nature, these are calm, balanced animals. They are inherent intelligence, loyalty, intelligence, courage, activity. Puppies are friendly, obedient and able to easily find a common language with other animals and people.

In its development, puppies go through several stages.

• The first 2 weeks of birth. At this time, the baby especially needs a mother, because it feeds only on milk and practically does not know how. At 10-14 days his eyes come off. The first few days the baby is still weak. May determine his family - mother, brothers and sisters. Kids are very cold, so if possible the puppy should be with mom. And breeders or owners should create suitable temperature conditions (22-25? C) for them.
• 3rd week. At 3 weeks of age, a puppy begins to cut teeth. Gradually, it is already possible to accustom to human hands. Also at this time a puppy develops a sense of smell.
• From 3 weeks to 3 months. It is at this time you need to carry out the socialization of the baby.

From 3 weeks to the end of the first month, the baby begins to react to sharp stimuli (loud sound, smell, light). This means that his senses are developing properly. Kids start to play catch-up with each other, they can gnaw everything.During this period, you can teach them to the tray, because the kids no longer "go to the toilet" in the same place where they sleep and eat.

At two months of age, a husky puppy acquires the ability to express its emotional state through voice and behavior. The first such manifestations begin as early as 5-6 weeks of age. At this time, he is actively exploring the world, communicating with other puppies and animals. Usually at this time the kids are prepared for the fact that the owners will take them to a new home. At least a week before that, they are separated from their mother, they allow them to get used to human hands, to communicate with people.

Properly chosen menu for a puppy is an important task for the owner, since his health and development will depend on what substances and products are included in the baby’s diet.

The menu should be balanced and complete. Food should contain a sufficient amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and other beneficial substances - vitamins, mineral compounds. Proteins and amino acids necessary for the intensive growth of a puppy, he can get from meat, eggs, dairy products, fish, offal and cereals. Fats are ingested from fish or fish oil. They are necessary for the growth of cells and tissues.

We must remember that you can not feed a puppy with food from the master's table. This is due to the fact that condiments are harmful to a dog's stomach. In addition, the list of prohibited products includes:

• smoked meat;
• spices;
• spicy
• flour and sugar;
• fatty meats (for example, pork);
• tubular bones;
• mushrooms

There are three options for feeding puppies. The first is that ready-made feeds are used. This method is convenient simplicity, since most feed contains all the necessary components in the right quantities, as well as adapted to the age needs of the animal. The second approach is that the puppy is fed only natural products. However, not everyone has enough time to cook separately for their pet several times a day. The third option is mixed. It is most often recommended by dog ​​breeders.

The number of meals depends on the age of the baby. The first months the puppy is gaining weight and is actively growing. therefore it is fed quite often - every 3-3.5 hours.

Spacious open-air cages or booths are better suited for housing for the West Siberian husky. Also, the puppy can live in the apartment, but it should have its place. Walking should be quite long in time and saturated in activity. The necessary elements are running, playing (for example, with a ball, a stick). Outdoors can also be trained teams. It is important to remember that husky needs a change of occupation - the puppy is given the opportunity to simply run, walk on a leash, play. After all, it is still a child, and it is difficult for him to focus his attention on one thing.

Usually care for likes does not cause any problems. However, there are some rules and features.

During the shedding of the dog you should be prepared for the fact that thick hair may be in different places of the apartment. therefore you need to carefully brush your puppy with a stiff brush. It is important to bathe him, but not often. However, if the dog's coat is white, then this procedure should be carried out as the pet is contaminated.

As a rule, puppy training begins at an early age and from the first days of the appearance of a new pet in the house. It helps him to get better. Raising a 2-month-old baby helps to establish a connection between the owner and the pet. it includes active games, as well as the study of the commands "next", "to me", "sit" and so on. An important nuance is the regularity of classes.

To better understand how to raise your dog, Dog breeders recommend contacting experienced dog handlers. They will tell you how to teach your dog hunting skills, how to properly train her to take a trail and to properly care for her. Difficult and special training should not be carried out until the puppy reaches 8 months of age. Before this, it is important to ensure that the pet has learned the basic commands.
