You are going to need your long leash and a dog bed, old cover, or pillow. It is also important that you start this training in the same area where you keep your puppy's crate; just in case you become bewildered and need to remove the puppy away from your swelling frustration. Once you are sure that your puppy is securely attached to its leash, the real training will start. Do not touch the leash! That's right; drop it and leave it on the floor. Only use the leash if you must catch the puppy after it has darted off. The goal of this training session is to help your puppy connect with you, not the leash in your hand or the treats in your pocket. To successfully establish this connection you must train naked (so to speak). Use your hands and your voice as your only two active training tools.
Walk up to your puppy and while doing so, ask your friend to let the puppy go (you will only need another person to help you with this training the first time you try it). If your puppy runs to you simply take it back to its pillow, but do so without using the leash. If your puppy is small you can simply pick it up and place it back down on the pillow. If the puppy is large you will need to be inventive. That's ok so long as you use your naked.The goal of this training step is to reach into your puppy's brain and help him understand that your different tones have unique meanings. While doing so you are going to meet your puppy's resistance and conquer it. Once conquered, your puppy will view you as a leader and a teacher.Before I proceed I would like to explain why I use the word 'conquered' here. By definition the word 'conquer' could be defined as, to overcome by force. It is important for you to understand that the only force that we will use is the necessary amount of force required to keep your puppy in place. You should never use more force with your puppy than your puppy is using with you. If you subjugate your puppy with massive amounts of human power you will unwittingly cause it to fear you. And that will open up a can of worms that none of us wants to eat! So, as we proceed here, always remember to stay cool. We come to the Dog Pages Guide to different breeds of dogs and puppies. If you are thinking about adding a puppy to your family, our informative guide will help you learn all about the different dog breeds.

A dog will show an increase in need to eat and most pregnant dogs will gain up to 25% of their original weight. Lots of breeders allow a dog to do what's called 'free feed' and that means to always provide as much food as the dog will eat, keeping it's bowl full at all times.. Being pregnant depletes a dogs resources and they need to get as much nutrition as possible
Dog pregnancy is somewhat different than human women pregnancies. Women can take urine pregnancy tests, and go through hormonal changes to help detect pregnancy. Dog pregnancy however is different. An interesting fact about the dog reproductive cycle is that the dog will go through just about the same hormonal changes whether or not she is pregnant. There is no progesterone blood or urine test to diagnose dog pregnancy. But, there is a blood test that can be done. The blood test detects relaxin, which is a hormone that is produced by pregnant dogs, but not by non pregnant dogs
Dog pregnancy symptoms - The ideal breeder should have the pair of dogs tested for every possible disease as well as have all the information regarding the pair’s ancestors and health records on file. Should a breeder find no problem in the history of the pair, then the process can begin.
Dogs normally come into heat twice a year which is every six months. Larger dogs can come into heat every eight or ten months which usually lasts about three weeks. Vaginal bleeding is a sure sign that the dog is in heat as well as swelling in the vulva.
If you think your dog is pregnant and you plan on carring the pregnancy to term, get her to the vets now for a health exam to make sure she's healthy enough to be pregnant. Dogs need to have prenatal care done just as a woman does. Your vet may want to do blood work to check to see if she needs any supplements such as calcium or iron. 4 weeks into her pregnancy, she needs to be switched over to a high quality puppy food so her body will have the proper nutrition to help her through her pregnancy, plus it will help her with her production of milk.
