How to Feed and Raise a Puppy
Feed a puppy small meals about four times a day on a fixed schedule to protect its delicate stomach, and never use human milk — use a proper puppy formula mixed into soaked kibble. Keep vaccines on schedule (the first distemper/parvo shot around three months), balance food with short 15–30 minute outings, and let a new arrival settle in before feeding.
Why Do People Dock a Puppy’s Tail?
Tail docking was once done to prevent work or fight injuries, but today most pet dogs are docked purely for looks. It carries real risks — infection and bleeding if a rubber-ligature method is done at home — and if the only reason is appearance, it isn't worth it.
Things to Keep in Mind When Potty Training Your Dog

How to Raise a Healthy, Fast-Growing Puppy
Raising a dog well means a cozy den, regular feeding and walks, early training, and prevention ahead of illness.

How to Train a Border Collie
Border Collies are brilliant, so success starts with scheduled feeding, daily exercise, and coat care before formal training begins. Teach housebreaking young, add complex tasks as they grow, and correct bad behavior early before it becomes a habit.
How to Train a Chuandong Hound
The Chuandong Hound is a fierce native Chinese hunting dog whose skills come from both instinct and strict training. Start young with one consistent trainer, and focus the work on the three hunting reflexes — tracking, pursuit, and retrieving.
What to Keep in Mind When Raising a Puppy
A new puppy needs structure from day one: crate it at first for security, hold off on baths, and never feed bones. Wean it gradually onto softened puppy kibble with goat's milk, give it sunlight and gentle exercise, and stay on schedule with vaccines and deworming while shaping good behavior early.
How to Crate-Train Your Dog to Stay Calm
