Content preview: Your puppy at 9 months old Hi Helen, At nine months of age puppies are ready to graduate to advanced training commands. There are a number of different training techniques available to you so use the one that works best for you. If you feel that your puppy is responding well to how you are doing things so far, continue training them in the same way. One of the training techniques that is becoming more popular is clicker training. The only equipment needed is a clicker (a small handheld device that emits a sharp, short click like the little Bertie Beetle clicker toys if anyone remembers those!) and some rewards such as liver treats. Begin clicker-training your puppy by associating the click with a positive reward, such as a treat. Click the device, then immediately give your puppy a small treat and repeat this about ten times per day for a few days in a row so your puppy associates the click with a reward. Use the clicker during training lessons to let your puppy know when they have correctly followed a command and reward them as quickly as possible with a treat. Still keep the training lessons to about 15 minutes.

There are a number of different training techniques availa= ble to you so use the one that works best for you. If you feel that your pu= ppy is responding well to how you are doing things so far, continue trainin= g them in the same way. One of the training techniques that is becoming mor= e popular is clicker training. The only equipment needed is a clicker (a sm= all handheld device that emits a sharp, short click like the little Bertie = Beetle clicker toys if anyone remembers those!) and some rewards such as li= ver treats.

Use the c= licker during training lessons to let your puppy know when they have correctly followed a command and reward them as quickly as possib= le with a treat. Still keep the training lessons to about 15 minutes. A nine month old puppy will start to exhibit independent behaviours such as= playing and sleeping alone and following the rules of the house. Your pupp= y still needs emotional security at this age, but they will be experimentin= g with independent behaviour more and more as they become more mature and g= row into a secure and confident adult. Having regular feeding times will he= lp to reduce any anxiety your puppy feels about food or hunger as well as r= educing your puppy's bad behaviours at meal times. Having a specific sleepi= ng area of their own allows your puppy room for independence with the secur= ity in having their own space. You do not need to allow your puppy to sleep= on the bed with you for them to feel a close bond to you as spending plent= y of time interacting with you and your family will help your puppy sociali= ze and form a close bond to all members of the family. Continue to provide = your puppy with a lot of mental stimulation at this age to promote independent learning and reduce boredom. The downside to this increased level of independence and curiosity is that = there is a rise is the proportion of puppies at this age needing treatment = for accidents (think teenagers and skateboards, bikes etc). Some of the mor= e common causes for vet visits among puppies this age are accidents with ca= rs, eating indigestible objects and drinking poisonous fluids. Depending on= your puppy's injuries, vet bills can cost upward of a few hundred to a few= thousand dollars to bring your puppy back to full health after an accident= or to remove indigestible objects from the puppy's stomach or intestines. = Reduce your puppy's chances of falling into harm's way by puppy-proofing yo= ur home and keeping them on a sturdy leash and collar when around dangers s= uch as traffic. Keep any toxic household items such as cleaners and insecti= cides locked away from your puppy's reach and removing any sharp or easily = swallowed items. Although your puppy will look close to their mature size at nine months of = age, they have not reached physical maturity yet and they still have joints= that are still growing. Healthy joint, muscle and bone formation reduces t= he risk of debilitating diseases such as arthritis and hip dysplasia later = in life, so it is critically important that they receive appropriate levels= of nutrients such as calcium, fat and protein. The best way to do this is = to feed them a high-quality dog food and to keep them at an optimal weight.= Resist any temptation to feed your puppy a little extra on a regular basis= or like us they will also gain weight. Too much food, especially for large= breed puppies, can cause rapid and uneven growth and lead to musculoskelet= al disorders. Here's what your 9 month old puppy will need to have done: * Heartworm treatment * Frontline flea treatment * Intestinal worm treatment Here's what you will need to do: * Apply the Frontline flea treatment to your puppy * Treat your puppy for heartworm and intestinal worms Teaching your puppy how to fetch Teaching your dog to retrieve an object is a very fun and rewarding command= . Not only does it add to the repertoire of games you can play with your do= g but it does allow your dog to burn up plenty of energy running around cha= sing and retrieving a ball while you can be as active as you would like to = be. It is also great for the days when you may not have as much time as oth= er days to exercise your dog as they will get a great workout in a very sho= rt amount of time. While some breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Groodles an= d Labradoodles have an instinct to retrieve, most dogs can be taught to ret= rieve an object as it is a natural behaviour for dogs to pick objects up in= their mouth and carry them around. The trick is to teach them to bring it = back to you! It is important to remember that while there is a certain nost= algia about playing fetch in the park with a stick, dogs chasing sticks rou= tinely injure themselves as the sticks can shatter, splinter or impale your dog. Always use a dog toy or ball to make = sure your dog is safe. Once your dog has mastered the idea of retrieving on= the ground you can start to try to throw the ball into shallow water to ge= t them accustomed to playing fetch in the water which is a favourite summer= time activity for many owners and their dogs. Teaching your dog to retrieve * If your dog will chase after her toys, then that is great and half = the work is already done, but if not you will need to chase the toy fo= r the reward of a treat. * Show your dog her favourite toy and wiggle it around so she wants t= o come and grab it and say "fetch". When she does, give her a treat an= d repeat this a few times until she gets the idea that when you wiggle= the toy and say fetch she is to chase and 'catch' the toy. * Once your dog will chase her toy, throw the toy a couple of inches = away from her and say "fetch" again and reward with a treat when she p= icks up her toy. * When your dog will reliably pick up her toy, encourage her to come = back to you when she has the toy in her mouth. You can try this with v= erbal praise and reward her when she does it or for the dog that wants= to grab her toy and run, you may need to hold the other end of the to= y and slide your puppy over to you and then give her the treat. * Your dog will eventually understand that they get the treat only wh= en they bring the toy over to you, so if she drops the toy, hold off o= n the treat while pointing at the dropped toy and saying "fetch". * If your dog does not want to relinquish the toy once they bring it = back, you will need to use a command like "off" to get them to release= the toy. * Give the command "off" and offer your dog a treat so they will have= to release the toy to get the treat and soon they will learn that the= quickest way to get the treat is to retrieve the toy and give it to y= ou. Practice this fun new trick as often as you can and be patient with your pu= ppy. You can increase the distance your dog has to retrieve the toy a littl= e each day and then after a while, use different toys and reward with prais= e rather than food treats. Keep in mind the following: 1. Keep training lessons to short lengths of time and practice often.= Four short lessons of five minutes or less is very effective and you = will start to see the fruits of your training within a few days. Keepi= ng the lessons short is extremely important to stop your young puppy f= rom becoming bored. 2. Always end the obedience session on a successful and happy note af= ter a successful attempt. 3. Always try to train your puppy when you yourself are in a good moo= d and you have about 5 minutes to spend uninterrupted with your new pu= ppy 4. Keep plenty of tasty training treats at home. www.chevromist.com Ph: (03) 8360 7562 Chevromist Kennels, Unit 5, 16-17 Hammer Court, Hoppers Crossing Victoria 3= 029, AUSTRALIA To unsubscribe or change subscriber options visit: http://www.aweber.com/z/r/?TOyMHBzMbLRsjCysbJws7LRmtIysLJwMHJyc --===============0457522103337323434== Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Your puppy at 9 months old</title> <style type=3D"text/css"> a { color: #2899D7; } .body {padding:20px; font-size: 12px;} .headline {font-size: 20px; color:#3aa5e0; padding-botto= m:10px;} .article {padding-bottom:20px;} .coupon {padding-bottom:20px;} body {max-width:600px; margin:auto; } td {cellpadding:0px; border-spacing:0px;} tr {cellpadding:0px; border-spacing:0px;} table {max-width:600px!important; border-spacing:0!importan= t; border:none; } .containerbox {width:100%; max-width:600px!important; font-family:"= HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, = Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;} img {height:auto; max-height:auto; max-width:100%;} .share img {width:20px!important;height:auto!important;display:i= nline-block;} .headline {padding:0px; font-size:30px;} @media only screen and (min-width:10px) and (max-width: 400px) { .containerbox {width:300px!important; max-width:300px!important; m= argin:0 auto!important; clear:both!important;} table {width:100%;} .headline {font-size:20px;} .paragraph {font-size:16px;} } </style> </head> <body> <center> <div align=3D"center"><div class=3D"containerbox" style=3D"width: 100%; max= -width: 600px; font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'H= elvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-c= olor: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <center> = = <!--[if !mso]><!--><table cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" bgcolor=3D"#f= fffff" style=3D"width: 100%; max-width: 600px !important; border-spacing: 0= px; border-width: medium; border-style: none;"><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]><table width=3D"600" bgcolor=3D"#ffffff" cellpadding=3D"= 0" cellspacing=3D"0"><![endif]--> <tbody><tr style=3D"border-spacing: 0px;"> <td width=3D"23%" bgcolor=3D"#ffffff" background=3D"https://www.aweber.co= m/images/email-templates/pets/blue/sidebar.png" style=3D"border-spacing: 0p= x; background-repeat: repeat-y;"></td> <td class=3D"body" valign=3D"top" style=3D"padding: 20px; font-size: 12px= ; border-spacing: 0px;"><div class=3D"region"><div aw-contents=3D"1"><table= class=3D"row" style=3D"width: 100%; max-width: 600px; border-spacing: 0px;= border-width: medium; border-style: none;"><tbody><tr aw-contents=3D"1" st= yle=3D"border-spacing: 0px;"><td aw-attributes=3D"width, valign" class=3D"c= ontainer" aw-contents=3D"1" width=3D"auto" valign=3D"top" style=3D"width: a= uto; border-spacing: 0px;"><div class=3D"definition-parent"><table cellpadd= ing=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" border=3D"0" class=3D"headline-element" width=3D"100%" st= yle=3D"max-width: 600px; border-spacing: 0px; border-width: medium; border-= style: none;"> <tbody><tr style=3D"border-spacing: 0px;"> <td class=3D"headline" style=3D"padding: 0px; font-size: 30px; color:= rgb(58, 165, 224); border-spacing: 0px;"><div aw-variable=3D"value"><div s= tyle=3D"text-align: center;"><b><span class=3D"" style=3D"color: rgb(8, 7, = 8); font-size: 28px;">Your puppy at 9 months old</span></b></div></div></td> </tr> </tbody></table></div><div class=3D"definition-parent"><div class=3D"paragr= aph" style=3D"padding:10px;"><div aw-variable=3D"value"><div style=3D"text-= align: justify;"><span style=3D"color:rgb(8, 7, 8); font-size:16px">Hi = ;</span>Helen<span style=3D"color:rgb(8, 7, 8); font-size:16px">,</span></d= iv><div><p style=3D"text-align: justify;">=E2=80=8B<span style=3D"color:rgb= (8, 8, 8); font-size:16px">At nine months of age puppies are ready to gradu= ate to advanced training commands.

Once your= dog has mastered the idea of retrieving on the ground you can start to try= to throw the ball into shallow water to get them accustomed to playing fet= ch in the water which is a favourite summertime activity for many owners and their dogs.</span></p><p><br></p></div></div><= /div><div class=3D"definition-parent"><table cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing= =3D"0" border=3D"0" class=3D"headline-element" width=3D"100%" style=3D"max-= width: 600px; border-spacing: 0px; border-width: medium; border-style: none= ;"> <tbody><tr style=3D"border-spacing: 0px;"> <td class=3D"headline" style=3D"padding: 0px; font-size: 30px; color:= rgb(58, 165, 224); border-spacing: 0px;"><div aw-variable=3D"value"><span = class=3D"" style=3D"font-size: 18px;"><b><span class=3D"" style=3D"color: r= gb(8, 8, 8);">Teaching your dog to retrieve</span></b></span></div></td> </tr> </tbody></table></div><div class=3D"definition-parent"><div class=3D"paragr= aph" style=3D"padding:10px;"><div aw-variable=3D"value"><ul> <li style=3D"= text-align: justify;"><span class=3D"" style=3D"font-size: 16px; color: rgb= (8, 8, 8);">If your dog will chase after her toys, then that is great = and half the work is already done, but if not you will need to chase t= he toy for the reward of a treat. </span></li> <li style=3D"text-alig= n: justify;"><span class=3D"" style=3D"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(8, 8, 8);">Show your dog her favourite toy and wiggle it around so she wa= nts to come and grab it and say "fetch".
