How to raise Pekingese correctly?
Peking dogs are well-behaved and quiet, with delicate emotions, petite body and big watery eyes. They are widely loved by the elderly. However, its innate body structure also produces some inherent troubles, which require careful observation and care by the owner.
Eyes:
1. When you find that your eyes start to squint frequently, shed tears, or have red conjunctiva, you should often use eye drops with certain anti-inflammatory effects to clean them. If the initial dacryocystitis is not controlled and the tear ducts become blocked, you will have to go to the hospital to flush them. Not only will the puppy suffer, but it may not be able to be unblocked. At present, some hospitals often use bear bile eye drops, Mentholatum, etc., which are okay for daily care, but have no effect on cases that are already inflamed.
2. Jingba has a short nose, and its most fragile eyes have become the most prominent part of the face. When playing with puppies with long mouths, you must pay attention to protecting your eyes. There may be unintentional collisions between puppies. It can easily cause serious damage to its eyes.
The horoscope parts of the face:
Those with many wrinkles, tears flowing downwards, and nasal mucus spraying upwards are the most likely to harbor dirt and evil. Be diligent in cleaning, open all folds, ventilate and dry to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
Nose:
The short nasal passage will cause difficulty in breathing during hot weather and after strenuous exercise. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention and proper rest.
Lumbar vertebra:
1. The structural characteristics of Jingba’s spine make it prone to disc herniation, which is common in male dogs between 2 and a half to 4 and a half years old, and in female dogs between 3 and a half to 5 years old. Years and a half. The main symptoms are: stiff neck, inability to move the head freely, pain from head to shoulders, difficulty in taking long steps, pain in the front half of the body, inability to move, not being held by others, front legs not touching the ground, difficulty in lying down, and a heavy stomach. Hard, unable to jump, tail unable to wag, hind legs weak.
2. Do not teach it to bow, jump, climb stairs, run wildly, shout, etc. when it is young. If a dog that already has lumbar spine problems develops these habits, it will aggravate the condition.
The most important thing to prevent lumbar spine disease is calcium supplementation. Dog food is the most comprehensive and rich in nutrients and cannot be replaced by human food. Starting from when the puppy is 3 to 4 months old, and until half a year old, you can use human medicine to supplement calcium, and the amount is sufficient for children. Of course, it is better to choose medicines specially designed for dogs. If the puppy's ribs are everted, the sternum moves upward, the puppy is bow-legged, or has difficulty changing teeth, it is necessary to give it calcium supplements as soon as possible. What needs to be emphasized is:
Frequently feeding animal liver to dogs can lead to severe calcium deficiency! !
What the dog likes to eat may not be good for it. It is necessary to use scientific and advanced feeding concepts to get rid of old habits.

Humans often make the mistake of not listening carefully to the dog’s vocalizations, and therefore fail to recognize the meaning contained in the dog’s vocalizations. Human ears still cannot achieve complete understanding of dog vocalizations.
To the British and Americans, the barking of a dog is "roaring", "ouch" and "ahhh", to the Spanish it is "yoyo", and to the Dutch it is "wow" . What the Germans hear is "oh", the Czechs say "hey", and of course we in China say "woof". Maybe these are dog dialects.

This is a play bark, usually used in tumbling games. When barking, it shows excitement and can be interpreted as: "This is fun!"
Growling:
Growling can occur alone, or used to supplement barking to add a bit of menace.

Depends on expression. If the eyes are half-open, it means that the dog is in a happy mood, which means "I am very satisfied and want to crawl down here to rest." If its eyes are fully open, this represents disappointment when something it expects does not come true. The best explanation is "I gave up."
* Bark: This is the typical sound of a hunting dog during hunting operations. Usually can be interpreted as: "Follow me!" "Let me catch it!" or "All attacks now!"
＊Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! , and the last "oh" sound is very long. Usually means: "I'm lonely!" "I feel abandoned!" or "Is anyone there?"
* Shouting: "I'm here!" "This is my place!" I hear you there!" a confident animal will usually yell just to make its presence known. Yelling may also be a reaction to other dogs barking. To human ears, this cry is louder and more resonant than the baw-ooh cry, and is often described as miserable.
＊Wooing moan: This sound looks like "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sounds after listening to it for a while. It is a pleasant feeling of pleasure and excitement, meaning "I'm so excited!" or "Let's go!"

====
The following nine foods are delicious for humans, but they pose a threat to the health of dogs and should not be fed or fed less:
r Chocolate [can be fatal]
The theobromine in chocolate can reduce the blood flow to the brain of animals, which may cause heart disease and other fatal problems. The higher the purity of chocolate, the higher the theobromine content it contains, and the greater the danger to dogs.
r Onions and green onions [Dangerous]
Raw or cooked onions and green onions contain disulfide, which is harmless to humans but can cause irritation to cats, dogs, sheep, horses, Oxygenation of red blood cells in cattle. May cause hemolytic anemia.
r Raw or cooked liver [Dangerous]
A small amount of liver is good for dogs, but too much can cause problems. Because the liver contains a large amount of vitamin A, it can cause vitamin A poisoning. About three chicken livers (or corresponding amounts of other animal livers) a week can cause bone problems.
r Bones [Danger]
Broken bones, such as chicken bones, may pierce the dog's throat or cut the dog's mouth, esophagus, stomach or intestines. If you want to feed bones, cook them in a pressure cooker. Bone marrow is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, and copper. Chewing large bones can help remove tartar.

Key points of daily physical exercise for dogs
First, there should be appropriate exercise every day. The dog owner cannot exercise casually according to his will, sometimes several times a day, sometimes once every few days. The amount of exercise varies depending on the breed, age and individual dogs. For example, small dogs should run 3 to 4 kilometers a day, while fast hounds should run about 16 kilometers a day. Some small dogs, such as Chihuahuas, Pekingese dogs, squirrel dogs, and Shih Tzus, etc., due to their small size, If they are allowed to walk long distances every day, their heart will often be affected by excessive exercise. Therefore, walking freely at home every day is enough for them to exercise.
Some small dogs, such as Terriers, Miniature Pinschers, etc., have lively personalities and require more exercise than other small dogs, so the amount of exercise should be increased appropriately. For some hounds, such as Afghan dogs, it is best to let them run for more than 15 minutes every day. Before outdoor traction exercise, they should be allowed to move freely for a few minutes to defecate. During exercise, they should maintain a correct walking posture, keep an appropriate distance from the owner, and correct their walking habits of forward or backward, left or right.
Second, the dog should wear a leash when going out for exercise. Especially on urban streets, do not neglect loose leashes and let them roam freely to prevent them from being hit by cars or disturbing pedestrians, or from encountering other dogs and causing fights. Pay special attention to prevent biting pedestrians. The dog tether should not be too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, it will affect breathing. If it is too loose, it will easily fall off. It is better to have a certain degree of freedom.
Third, the route of exercise should be changed frequently. Do not just follow the same fixed route every day. During exercise, you should prevent it from using its nose to sniff the excrement or other objects left by other dogs. Dogs should not be allowed to come into contact, and dogs should not be placed in places where people or other dogs gather to prevent the spread of certain diseases.
Fourth, under a safe ring mirror, you can give the dog some plastic toys and let it play freely or lead it to run.
Fifth, for working dogs such as hunting dogs or police dogs, swimming exercise in summer is a good whole-body exercise, which can make the dog's physical development well-proportioned. Rapid movement in open areas and flying over obstacles can develop the shoulder structure well and promote the development of the chest, especially the chest. In order to exercise the back muscles and the jumping ability of the rear area, you can perform activities such as jumping over board obstacles, high obstacles, and continuous obstacles. In order to exercise the dog's speed, you can perform bicycle rope traction exercises. Combined with the movement of changing the direction of the curve, it can also exercise the flexibility of the dog's whole body joints and the agility of movement.
In short, there are various forms of dog exercise, which can be chosen according to different purposes. Generally, toy dogs mainly undergo health care exercises, while working dogs require special performance exercises. After returning from exercise. Give the dog plenty of clean water to drink, dry the whole body with a towel, and brush away dust. Do not feed immediately after exercise and rest quietly for at least 30 minutes, otherwise vomiting may occur.

How to train a dog to be obedient
Due to different temperaments of various dogs, some are easy and some are difficult to train. However, as long as your dog is properly trained, he will be obedient regardless of whether he is on a leash or not. Generally speaking, dogs should start formal obedience training when they are six months old, but some dogs can start earlier, while others grow later. Training not only requires patience and control from the trainer, but also requires patience and control from the dog. If you have little or no experience with canine problems, it is best to ask a veterinarian or local breeder club to recommend an experienced dog trainer for guidance.
1. Train the dog to wait and come over
A. Use a simple gesture to ask the dog to sit down. Whenever you want to teach your dog something new, command it to sit first to ensure that it has its full attention.
B. After the dog sits down, he can issue the second command "Wait a minute". At the same time, walk around the dog while holding the leash to see if it remains sitting.
C. Walk in front of the dog, back up until the leash is straightened, and repeat the command "Wait a minute" at the same time. If the dog moves, go back and practice again.
D. Say "come here" immediately after calling the dog's name. Praise or let your dog sit before letting him sit.
2. Train the dog to stay in a down position
A. The dog was originally sitting. At this time, he gave the command "get down" and patted the ground gently at the same time. In training obedience, start by using both voice commands and eyes.
B. Pull on the leash to enhance the effect of the command if necessary. At the same time, the command "Don't move" was issued. You can use this command when you want your dog to stay down before you return to it.
C. Walk forward as far as the length of the leash, turn around and face the dog. If the dog wants to move at this time, you can use the palm of your hand to indicate it and continue to strengthen the meaning of "don't move".
D. Return to the dog in about a minute and see if it continues to lie down. An obedient dog will not move even if the trainer walks away. This kind of training can strengthen the dog's obedience to the owner's commands.
E. Release the dog from a certain posture. Praise the dog after each exercise. Make it clear that the exercise ends here. With a touch and a few words of praise, most dogs will feel very happy and willing to accept various trainings obediently.
How to Fix Bad Habits
Even the sweetest dog can develop habits that make its owner annoying and unhappy in a limited home environment. Starting obedience training for dogs from an early age can prevent bad habits from developing, and it is always easier to take preventive measures than to correct bad habits after they occur. If you find that some of your dog's behaviors at home are harmful, you have to go back to some basic training and use a correction method acceptable to both parties to make your dog obedient.
Remember that dogs don’t intentionally do bad things to get back at their owners: the human tendency to use punishment does not apply to dogs.
1. Destructive dogs - love to bite things
Some dogs, especially puppies, if left alone at home, are sometimes unhappy because of loneliness or for the sake of To pass the time, I would bite something. The correction is simple. Just confine the dog to a small area so that it can't destroy things. For example, you can put it in a cage.
Doing this can make the dog feel safe, especially accompanied by the sound of the radio or TV, giving it some toys or bites. This kind of confinement to the dog can only be temporary, and it should be given more exercise and attention.
2. Greedy dogs - stealing food
Dogs are born "scavengers" and they will eat whatever food they see. Every time he successfully steals food, he will deepen his bad habit and become a habitual thief. The correction method is also very simple. Just teach your dog the habit of sitting down before feeding. Put the actual food in the bowl each time you feed it. Do not feed it food from other dishes or the table. Once it understands that it must obey in order to eat, it will not steal food behind your back. However, as a precaution, it is best to keep tempting foods where your dog cannot find them.
3. How to deal with dogs with excessive sexual desire - sexual characteristics
A young uncastrated male dog may develop sexual desire when the natural release of sexual desire is restrained. Climbing on legs or furniture. This situation often occurs in dogs between one and two years old. For such a dog, you can use a sprayer or water gun to spray water on the dog to distract it. And some kind of restraint measures should be taken immediately to let the dog understand that doing so is a bad behavior. Castration surgery can be completely avoided.
4. Lonely Dog - Concerns of Isolation
A nervous dog will often growl or even bark if left alone at home. This is especially true for dogs that were not properly brought outdoors for social interaction during their puppyhood.
This also happens to some dogs that have been transferred to several owners. Such a puppy is very pitiful. You can give the dog some special treatment before leaving home. For example, take a toy that the dog likes and rub it in your hand, and then
give it to it. You can also give it to it. A delicious marrow bone. Also be careful not to annoy or irritate it when leaving home. If you put your dog in a cage, he will feel safe.
Management of dogs in winter
The weather is cold in winter. The focus of management during this period should be on cold protection, heat preservation and respiratory prevention. Pay attention to cold protection and heat preservation. Being exposed to rain and wind after exercise and the humidity of the kennel can cause colds. In severe cases, respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia may occur. Effective measures to prevent colds are to prevent colds and heat, thicken mattresses, and replace them in time to keep them dry and prevent cold winds; when the weather is sunny and warm, strengthen outdoor exercise for dogs to enhance their physical fitness and improve their disease resistance. ability. Allowing dogs to bask in the sun can not only keep them warm, but the ultraviolet rays in the sun also have the effect of disinfection and sterilization, and can promote the absorption of calcium, which is especially beneficial to the growth and development of the bones of puppies and prevents rickets in puppies.
How to help puppies keep out the cold
Even if they are long-haired breeds, because their hair has not yet grown, their resistance is insufficient, and they are especially afraid of sudden cold and cold wind. There are several ways to help puppies keep out the cold: You can put some clean old blankets, thick towels, etc. in the nest to help puppies keep warm. If you buy a puppy and raise it alone, it will be more likely to catch a cold because it will be separated from the group and it will be difficult to cuddle up and keep each other warm. There will also be fewer brothers and sisters to play with, causing the whole body to become hot. Do not put the puppy in a place that is too ventilated to prevent freezing. Especially puppies 6-8 weeks old are most susceptible to colds. If you don’t know how to cook, it’s best not to buy a puppy in winter. After it warms up or wait until it is a little older, buy it again. Its resistance will be stronger.
Adaptation to the new environment
After puppies arrive in a new environment, they are often highly nervous due to fear. Any loud noises and movements may frighten them. Therefore, they must Avoid making loud noises, and don’t allow many people to watch or tease you out of curiosity. It is best to put it directly into the kennel or arrange a resting place indoors, and then approach it after getting used to it for a period of time. The best time to get close to a dog is when feeding. At this time, you can push the food in front of the puppy, treat it with a gentle tone, and gently touch its back hair. The food fed should be something the dog particularly likes to eat, such as meat and bones. But it may not eat at first, so don’t rush to force it to eat. After it gets used to it, it will eat automatically. If it walks out of the kennel or walks freely indoors, it means that it has initially adapted to the new environment. In addition, when raising puppies, the dog must be trained to urinate and defecate in a fixed place. Dogs have a habit of thinking that the place where they slept for the first time after coming to a new environment is the safest place. They will go to this place every night in the future and never go beyond the boundaries. Therefore, when he sleeps on the first night, he must be locked in a kennel or a designated sleeping place indoors, even for adult dogs. After a few days, it will be fixed. If you occasionally find it sleeping in other places, take it back to its original place and issue the "here" command.
Puppies generally can fully adapt to the new environment in 3 to 5 days. During this period, the owner must treat it kindly, and must not be angry or hit or scold it.
If the puppy does something according to the owner's request, it should be rewarded in time to let it know that this is something the owner likes. If it does something wrong, just say "no" seriously, and it will know it. This is something the master does not allow.
When puppies are adapting to the environment, it is necessary to prevent them from escaping. Once you find a puppy acting secretly, dodging, and not listening to greetings, you must immediately stop it and reprimand it when trying to escape, so that it will not run away again.
Dog Training
Dog training usually begins two or three months after the dog is born. A dog that is two to three months old is equivalent to a 3-5 year old child. Preschool children must go to kindergartens to receive systematic education, and dogs must also receive basic education within 6 months of birth. Difficult training items should be carried out earlier. However, training during this period should be limited to basic movements.
Praise and reprimand can be used flexibly during training. The two complement each other and are indispensable. Timely praise and appropriate reprimand will contribute to the success of training. Praise more and reprimand less. If you only reprimand without praising, the dog will be in a state of mental stress. Dogs always crave affection and affection. Therefore, instead of reprimanding in this way, it is better to praise in time as soon as there is good performance. Only in this way can we receive better training results as soon as possible. For example, when a dog is defecating, it wants to defecate near the kennel. Seeing this, the owner should immediately lead it to the designated place. After defecating, the dog should be petted appropriately. This is the most complete training method. I often see people giving food to dogs or toys to play with during training. However, this is not a good method. Use material stimulation to educate the dog. It is okay when there is food. Once there is no food, the dog may not listen to the owner's orders.
Barking and expressions of dogs
(1) Barking
Except for some dog breeds such as Huskies, which can only howl like wolves, Most dog breeds can bark "woof, woof", and barking is one of the necessary conditions for guard dogs, protection dogs and police dogs. However, excessive barking will irritate the owner and also affect the neighbors, so it must be trained from an early age so that it will not bark randomly and will stop barking immediately when it hears the command. A dog usually only barks within its "territory" (the place where it lives and its vicinity), especially when strangers or animals approach the place where it lives, or when it hears suspicious sounds, it will bark hard. Generally, small dogs have a louder and sharper bark, and they like to bark randomly; large dogs have a louder, deeper bark, and have a calmer temperament, and usually do not bark randomly. A dog's barking can express its emotions. For example, it will make a guttural sound to show authority and intimidation to the weak; when it is bullied, it will make a whine of "oooh...ohoh"; when a puppy leaves its mother dog, If you feel cold or have abdominal pain due to parasitic roundworms, you will make a high-pitched humming sound.
(2) Expression
In addition to barking to express emotions, a dog’s mood changes can be seen from the expression of other parts of its body.
1. When happy and affectionate, raise the tail and swing it quickly with a slight rotation, jump constantly, or twist the body, rub the owner's legs and make a fresh hum; ears back and eyes squinted , showing a gesture of wanting the owner to caress. Small dogs also often lie down with their bellies up.
2 The angry expression has round eyes, fierce and sinister eyes; the ears stand straight forward (referring to erect-eared dog breeds), the upper lip is raised and trembling, the nose is wrinkled, exposing the canine teeth; the neck and back The hair stands on end; the body is stiff, the tail is straight and motionless, or it swings slightly and slowly, making a ferocious barking sound. When an attack is imminent, the prey often puts its ears behind its back, lowers its forelimbs, and adopts a squatting posture.
3 The expression of fear is that the ears droop, the coat stands up, the body trembles, the tail hangs low, the eyes squint, stand still or step back sideways; when extremely frightened, put the tail between the two hind legs, The abdomen curls up and the body flees quickly.
Some timid dogs will lie down on the ground when they can't fight each other with bites, or have no fighting spirit, exposing the vital part of the body - the abdomen, to show complete surrender
