There are truly as many methods to rear a Tosa puppy as there are to raising a child. In truth, one method per household at least! However most of us agree that when it pertains to kids, a few things are universal and undisputed. Here are three things that a lot of individuals just do not think of when it comes to raising their Tosas, nevertheless. I can’t count how many times have I heard, “My Tosa just will not listen to me”, or “He simply won’t behave!”
Tosas don’t understand English till we train them.
The main thing all of us love about Tosa puppies most is the way in which they live for us, the fact that they focus all they have on us, the method our lives end up being theirs. In the start, they study us to discover our body movement, our facial expressions and our language. Till we teach them the English language, it’s all they have. If we say, “Wanna go out?” one day, “Have to go potty?” the next day, and, “Hafta pee?” the 3rd day, if they DO determine what we desire, it is because we have actually gotten the leash and approached the door with a delighted face! If you wish to accelerate his training by three-fold, teach him YOUR language. Select a command for EACH behavior and persevere. Tell all in your household to utilize the exact same words and commands, and your Tosa puppy will amaze you at how much faster he catches on.
A young Tosa puppy’s metabolism is racing along faster than we believe.
The younger your Tosa is, the more quickly he is growing, the more food and water he needs to sustain his metabolic process, and the more regularly he has to go potty. Do not punish your puppy when he makes a house-breaking error. These are YOUR fault. The age of your Tosa in weeks and his size identify how often he needs to go out. One time an hour is not too often for a big 6-week old puppy, particularly if it is summer season. Tosas like the interesting smells outdoors, so there is no excuse to not have him housebroken by 7-8 weeks of age. Right after a nap, after he eats and after grooming are the key times, and he will signal you. If he is happily chewing a toy and gets up unexpectedly with his nose to the floor, move quickly! And each time he goes potty outside, praise him to high heaven! “What an excellent PUPPY!”, “GREAT go potty!” and the like. Tosas enjoy our pleased faces, and they will do anything to get it.
Tosas live for our expressions and body movement.
As a result of this, the worst punishment you ever need to offer your Tosa is a frown and to turn away from him. You can see his tail fall down and his face get so serious. He will learn the lesson, I ensure it. However his attention period is only 3-5 minutes, so do not chastise him any more. Love him up and offer him your happy face once again. Physical punishment is never needed. Work with consistent commands and caring praise and he will know what you desire of him before you understand. He will become a master of your body movement and expressions in no time at all.
Naturally there are numerous elements of training your Tosa puppy well. Loving compassion works just as well for Tosa pups as it does with kids, producing a pleased, well-adjusted and loyal dog for life. These three crucial pointers, utilized regularly with self-confidence, will start him well on his way.
