When a dog first arrives home, they're like a clean, white sheet of paper. How they develop from there depends entirely on their owner's care.

However, if you make the following mistakes while raising a dog, it's easy to lead your dog astray! Veterinarians specifically advise: If you exhibit these six behaviors, stop them immediately!

1. Excitement when leaving and returning home

Have you ever experienced this: when you're out, worried your dog is lonely, you hug it and say goodbye to it with a reluctant heart. Then, when you get home, you cuddle it tightly and rub it vigorously. But dogs' emotions are easily affected by us. Your excitement can also make them agitated. Over time, they might become agitated and bite, and even fight with other dogs.

In reality, just give your dog a small toy before you go out and let it play on its own. When you get home, give it a small snack and treat it normally.

2. Holding a dog incorrectly

Never grab a dog's front paws and try to make it stand up like it's dancing, and don't hold an adult dog sideways like a baby!

The former can easily cause fractures or joint dislocations, while the latter can stress the dog's spine and even pull out its hair. The correct way to hold a dog is to support its front paws with one hand and its bottom with the other, keeping it securely in your arms.

3. Suddenly yelling at a dog

If your dog misbehaves, do you suddenly feel the urge to yell at it? Don't do that! It can scare the dog and make it fear you, causing it to tremble with fear whenever you get close.

The correct approach is to gently restrain the dog or use a favorite toy to guide it away from the area where it misbehaved.

4. "Playing" with your dog with your hands or feet

Many people think it's fun to tease their dogs with their hands or feet, but this actually has serious risks! Dogs have a natural hunting instinct. If you constantly tease them like this, they'll mistake your hands and feet for toys or prey, and gradually develop a habit of pouncing and biting.

The first time they pounce, you need to quickly move away and stop them immediately. Don't let this bad habit become established.

5. Constantly feeding them treats with additives

Dogs have no resistance to delicious food, but constantly feeding them treats with additives and attractants is not only bad for their health, but can also make them picky eaters.

6. Sudden "full-time care"

Dogs don't appreciate excessive attention. If you suddenly force them to bathe, comb, and trim their nails, they'll definitely be disgusted and might even resent you.

Actually, we can separate these care tasks, for example, combing its coat today and trimming its nails tomorrow. Each action should be completed quickly and accurately.

Have you fallen prey to any of these behaviors? The key to raising a dog is patience and prompt correction when you notice a mistake. This is the only way to raise a dog that is both obedient and healthy!
