​Degree of freedom

If the puppy is allowed to move freely in all rooms when it first arrives home, it will cause the dog to urinate everywhere, chew furniture, clothing, etc., and steal food when it grows up.

​Toys

If there are no dog toys prepared in the early stage, or the variety and quantity of toys are very small. When dogs grow up, they will chew furniture, clothing, etc.

​Social

Rarely take the dog out, rarely interact with other dogs, and rarely interact with strangers except family members. Gradually, dogs don’t like playing with other dogs. They will run away, bark, or even attack when they see other dogs. They run away, bark and even attack when they see strangers.

​Summon

There is no reward after calling the dog to the owner, and even beating and scolding after calling, or immediately putting on the leash and going home. When a dog grows up, he will not listen to his owner's call.

​Feeding

When the puppy first arrives home, the owner should put enough food in front of the puppy and let it eat. The leftover food should also be placed where it is and wait for it to eat when it wants to eat. When dogs grow up, they will protect their food and even their own toys, seats, owners, etc. They will become aggressive and picky when others, including their owners, try to take possession of these resources.

​Greeting Ceremony

When the owner comes home, the dog jumps on him to express welcome, and the owner responds enthusiastically. This will cause the dog to pounce on anyone it sees at any time, regardless of whether the other person likes it or not.

Go for a walk

Do not wear traction equipment when your dog is young. Chase the dog with the leash, catch it and force it on. In the future, the dog will be extremely uncooperative when wearing traction equipment and will run away if he can.
