#7 Age 4 months is the optimal period for learning more complex commands from the same OKD with the East European Shepherd
If everything is planned correctly, by 6 months the puppy will be ready to pass the standards for the course and will be able to start engaging in security activities. True, up to a year, the skills and abilities learned by the pet will have to be additionally honed and brought to perfection. As noted earlier, the repetition of material for the breed is an absolute must.
#8 For a typical city apartment, the East European Shepherd Dog is not the most suitable size, so if you have already decided to replenish the family, think in advance about how to provide the dog with a sufficient amount of free space.
In particular, the pet's bed should be in a secluded but well-lit place - the breed does not need rickets. If the shepherd's mattress lies in the aisle, where the legs of the household constantly cling to it, this irritates and irritates the puppy. It is better to choose a semi-rigid mattress for the East European Shepherd, in order to avoid the appearance of calluses on the elbows, and fix the food bowl on an adjustable tripod (choose the highest design), which will reduce the stress on the joints.
#9 The optimal option from the standpoint of convenience for the owner is the keeping of the East European Shepherd in an open-air cage with an insulated kennel, which should be of such a size that the dog can not only lie down in it, but also stretch its paws.
Dry hay is suitable for bedding. The main thing - do not forget to change the litter in a timely manner and treat the dog's housing from parasites twice a year. Usually, the signal that it is time to disinfect is the unwillingness of the shepherd to lie in the booth. In summer, the hay "bed" of the East European Shepherd is not needed, but so that the pet does not build up calluses, it is better to lay a rug in the aviary. And most importantly: no chains, even if they are long, and allow the dog to run around the yard. Such an approach spoils the animal, developing in it a distrust of the owner and anger against the whole world.
