#13 Learning basic commands and interacting with the outside world cannot be delayed.
From the first days of the appearance of a puppy in your home, a parenting program should start. A little Dalmatian must clearly understand the boundaries of what is permitted and know that disobedience will have consequences. Of course, it is unacceptable to show aggression and use physical force, but the owner's firm and stern voice, in which dissatisfaction is clearly expressed, is in itself a sufficient punishment.
#14 An ideal option for keeping a Dalmatian would be a spacious private house with a securely fenced area where he can freely walk during the day
However, it must be remembered that representatives of this breed cannot live permanently in an aviary in our climatic conditions - short wool does not protect against low temperatures.
If you are the owner of a city apartment, long walks are a prerequisite for a peaceful existence. Moreover, not only the duration is important (at least an hour a day), but also the saturation with loads. It is best if the dog on a leash accompanies you on a run or bike ride - moving at a fast pace, he will burn enough energy not to seek adventure when he returns. Exercising on an equipped obstacle course can be an alternative, just correctly measure the physical condition of the dog and the height of the barriers.
#15 Dalmatians do not require complicated and tedious care
Their "fur coat" does not fall off and does not need a haircut or frequent washing, however, molting occurs abundantly and almost continuously, and becomes especially strong at the border of warm and cold seasons. To keep the coat in the house minimal, it is recommended that you brush your pet with a brush or a special mitten as often as possible (at least 2-3 times a week).
