 Content preview:  Your puppy at 7 months old Hi Helen, Your puppy is now entering

    positive behaviours and correct any negative behaviours as you go along as
    your puppy is rapidly maturing into a wise and loyal companion, and is well
    on the way to leaving behind some of their more destructive impulses in favour
    of becoming your best friend. Your puppy's brain is still growing and developing
    and you'll want to stimulate them by taking your puppy to new places to introduce
    new people, dogs and also new experiences. This is a great time to start
   taking your puppy on longer trips as most pups can hold their bladder for
   a longer car ride at this age, although for some dogs the excitement of the
    car ride can be a bit too much! Make sure your puppy is appropriately secured
    during a car trip. Dogs can be injured in car accidents as easily as people
    and there are plenty of dog harnesses and other restraints available for
   just this purpose to keep you safe by avoiding unwanted distractions and unwelcome
    paws on the pedals or steering wheel! [...]

Your puppy at 7 months old

Hi Helen,

Your puppy is now entering the second half of the most important
year of their life.    Continue to reinforce positive behaviours
and correct any negative behaviours as you go along as your puppy
is rapidly maturing into a wise and loyal companion, and is well on
the way to leaving behind some of their more destructive impulses
in favour of becoming your best friend. Your puppy's brain is still
growing and developing and you'll want to stimulate them by taking
your puppy to new places to introduce new people, dogs and also new
experiences. This is a great time to start taking your puppy on
longer trips as most pups can hold their bladder for a longer car
ride at this age, although for some dogs the excitement of the car
ride can be a bit too much! Make sure your puppy is appropriately
secured during a car trip. Dogs can be injured in car accidents as
easily as people and there are plenty of dog harnesses and other
restraints available for just this purpose to keep you safe by
avoiding unwanted distractions and unwelcome paws on the pedals or
steering wheel!

At 7 months old, and especially if your puppy has been desexed,
you're likely to notice your puppy starting to become a more calm
and easy-going dog but don't panic if they still are as excitable
as usual as the process from excitable puppy to a much more calm
adult normally takes an extended period of time.

If your male puppy has not been desexed yet, you may notice early
symptoms of the alpha male syndrome where they will behave
aggressively or possessively around toys, food, or other people. If
your puppy becomes too rough and assertive during play, stop
playing the game and give him a little time out. Encourage your
puppy to play nicely, and eventually your puppy will learn that
macho behaviour will get him nowhere at home.

By 7 months of age the permanent molar teeth will be present in
most breeds and they will come to the end of actively "teething".
Chewing may peak at this stage but make sure they have safe and
approved chew toys as they will still have a high desire than
normal to chew over the next few months and now is a great time to
invest in some great interactive chew toys.

Most 7 month old pups are about 80% of their adult body weight by
now, but there is a range of maturity between the different breeds
with smaller breeds maturing faster than larger breeds of dog. You
may have noticed some changes in your puppy's coat as they develop
their adult coat. Most puppies will shed some of their puppy coat
(even the low or non-shedding breeds). Get your dog used to being
brushed while they are young and make it a positive experience.
Your puppy's body type will start to appear much more like an adult
at this stage as they slow down in height and length and begin to
fill out with developing muscle. During this age and over the next
couple of months they go though an "awkward teenage" stage just as
we all did, where they look a little out of proportion until
everything catches up!

Here's what your 7 month old puppy will need to have done:

* Heartworm treatment
 * Frontline flea treatment

Here's what you will need to do:

* Apply the Frontline flea treatment to your puppy
 * Treat your puppy for heartworm

Find a local obedience club or trainer to start taking your puppy
to. The puppy school that helped with the socialisation of your
puppy will probably be able to assist you with this.

Teaching your puppy how to lie down

Teaching your dog to lie down on command is important as it is one
of the control commands and helps to establish to your dog that you
are in control and are dominant over him. This is also a useful
position to have your dog in when you take your dog out with you,
as when she is lying down, she cannot jump up onto the table, beg
for food or chase other dogs which may also be in the same venue as
you and your dog. If you plan to take your dog out to outdoor
restaurants or cafes that allow dogs, a dog in the Down position at
the table makes for a welcome guest.

Teaching the "lay" command:

* Start      your dog in the sit position.
 * Give      the cue "down", "drop" or "lay" (only one of these
words)
 * Hold      a piece of your dog's favourite treat between your
thumb and first finger a      couple of centimetres in front of
your dog's nose so they know it's there      and can smell it.
 * Slowly      move the treat straight down to the floor so it is
touching the ground      between your dog's legs but hold the treat
with your fingers.
 * Your      dog will follow the treat with his head and will bend
his neck until he      needs to bring his head down to continue to
follow the treat to the floor.
 * Draw      the treat away from him along the floor in a straight
line.
 * Repeat      the cue that you used earlier.
 * When      he brings his legs out in front of him and his belly
touches the floor,      give him the treat and heap on the praise.
 * Repeat      the process for the next 5 to 10 minutes and end the
training session      there.
 * Try      to practice this new command for at least 5 minutes per
day for the next 2      weeks to make sure that your dog remembers
this command. Your dog will      also associate the hand signal of
your thumb and first finger brought      together and pointing to
the floor as the signal for "down".
 * It      may be helpful to use the word "drop" rather than "down"
as the cue to      avoid confusing your dog between down on the
floor and saying down when      your dog jumps up on you.

If your dog has trouble laying down when you draw the food out
along the ground in front of him, you can try to place a collar and
lead on your dog and gently encourage him to lie down that way.
Another technique you can try is to sit on the ground in front of
your dog with your legs bent across the front of your dog at a 90
degree angle, so when you draw the treat along the ground your dog
must go under your knees to get the treat.

A good way to keep up your dog's skills with all their commands is
to make them sit, stay, lie down etc before every meal, before and
after every play session, and pretty much every time they want to
do something fun for them. This will help to reinforce that they
must first listen to what you want from them and give it to you,
for them to do what they want.
