No matter why animals play when they are young, their playing behavior can affect their adult lives and bring joy to themselves and humans.

Dog’s Game

These games can help us build a good relationship with our pets. Toys are an important part of these games. These games can be divided into the following three categories:

"Shaking game" - the dog will pick up and shake an object; "Chasing game" - the dog will chase some moving objects; "Strength game" - this game includes a test of strength

These games imitate a series of hunting behaviors of the dog's ancestors. We train some breeds or types of dogs to strengthen this ability so that they can perform specific tasks for humans, such as retrieving prey, herding, or guarding.

For pet dogs, we can discover these abilities in their play. For example, long-eared hounds and shepherd dogs like chasing games and retrieval games; guarding dogs like "power" games; and hounds like shaking and pulling objects. Each dog's preference for play is different. As for what kind of games your dog likes, you need to judge by experience.

Dog owners should control their dogs’ play. This is important for puppies to develop a good relationship with their owners. When playing together, owners should place toys where their puppies can reach them. It should be you, not the dog, who decides when play begins and ends.

For example, when playing a tug-of-war game, the puppy should be made aware that taking out the toy indicates the start of the game. Putting the toy back means the game is over, even if it tugs at your clothes or fingers, you can't continue playing with it.

Playing can build a long-lasting relationship between people and dogs. Toys and games can also be used to reward behaviors that need encouragement. So if the dog comes immediately when it hears your call, you can reward it by playing a small game with it. Play also helps the dog know its place among humans. Human dominance can be consolidated by playing some power games with the dog, in which the owner should win most and can forcefully remove the toy. Training while playing is good for both you and your dog.

Baolu Aisibao provides ideal toys for dogs to play, and all toys are jointly developed by experts from Weihao (the world's authoritative organization on pet safety and nutrition).

All toys are made of safe and durable rubber, allowing your pet to fully utilize their natural abilities and have endless fun.

It is important to bathe and groom your dog regularly. Grooming keeps your dog's coat clean and healthy. At the same time, you can also check for skin diseases or parasites in the coat. Short-haired dogs should be groomed once a week, but long-haired dogs should be groomed more frequently. You should be gentle and patient when bathing and grooming your puppy so that your puppy can gradually adapt.

Before you start washing your dogIt is best to make all preparations before taking a bath. You will need to prepare a place for bathing and drying your dog, as well as the necessary tools.

Dogs only need to be bathed when they are dirty or when the veterinarian deems it necessary. Bathing your dog must be done when the weather is good or indoors to prevent it from catching a cold. You should only bathe your dog with products specifically designed for your dog and not with common household cleaners or disinfectants.

In addition to bathing the dog, its bedding should also be dried and cleaned regularly.

Bathing your dog can make a mess inside the house, so it's best to bathe your dog outside in warm weather.

Put half a basin of hot water (not too hot) in the tub and prepare enough extra hot water to rinse the dog. When bathing your dog, use a mild detergent --- such as baby shampoo, dog-specific shampoo, or other shampoo recommended by your veterinarian. No matter which cleaning agent you use, be sure to read the instructions carefully before use. Have an old, clean towel ready for drying your dog. For some breeds of dogs, you can also use a hair dryer to dry them.

First, put the dog into warm water - if the dog is too heavy, ask for help. Use a clean bottle or can to water down the dog's neck and finally, wet the head. First, apply the detergent all over the dog's body and legs, then gently rub it into foam. Finally, apply cleaning agent to the dog's head, and be careful not to splash it into its eyes. After this, pour warm water over the dog's body to wash away the cleaning agent. This will require a lot of water.
