Your cocker spaniel teethes teeth and is buzzing in excitement. It does not matter what it is: furniture, shoes, books, fingers, cords for lamps, socks, remote controls; anything within reach works for the puppy. How can you stop this behavior?
Honestly, Cocker knows nothing better and just tries to solve the problem in his own way. The problem is discomfort during teeth. In this article, we will look at various solutions to stop the pain and buzz, directing the puppy's behavior in a positive direction with the help of pain relief solutions. That which is not done is as important as knowing what to do.
First we need to understand that chewing a Cocker Spaniel’s teeth is not bad behavior, but rather a means for your puppy to cope with discomfort. Teething is a natural process for all puppies. For starters, when your dog gets the desire to chew everything possible to provide items that will help them. Rubber toys, frozen towels, chewing rings - a good quick fix. However, we will look at more solutions in more detail in just a minute. Let's find out about the Cocker Spaniel's teeth cycle so we know what we are dealing with.
Teething cycle
1) Between 2 and 6 weeks, milk, also known as deciduous teeth, will begin to float. These are small sharp teeth of a needle that your puppy first gives out through the gums; usually about 28 deciduous teeth.
2) Deciduous teeth can last from 4 months to a year. At this time, adult teeth will appear gradually, replacing deciduous teeth, becoming the dog's permanent teeth. There are usually 42 permanent teeth by the time they are finished. Some minor discomfort may be the experience of a puppy up to a year after permanent teeth were opened.
3) Most Cocker Spaniels experience the greatest discomfort between 2 and 7 months during the teeth process.
4) You can expect permanent incisors from 2 to 5 months (used for nibbling), canines from 2 to 5 months (used to grip), premolars from 4 to 6 months (used to tear), canines and molars between 5 and 7 months (used for crushing).
5) Under nursing puppies, the teeth will be slower, large breeds are better than small breeds. Of course, the breed, gender and date of birth all affect the process of teeth. But overall, the cycle is pretty close for everyone.
What makes a puppy chew?
During the training period, the gums of the dog become itchy and very tender. Cocker will try to relieve discomfort by chewing on anything that can hold his mouth. This has a calming effect and relieves the pressure applied to the gums.
Teething - helping your Cocker Spaniel in the process
Here are some effective solutions. It is best to use a few in the process of teeth, so that you do not have boredom.
1) Ice cubes - Cut the ice cubes on the bristles. The cold will help to gain space. Your dog may like to lick and try to chew them.
2) Popsicle - Give the dog a fruit flavored popsicle as an occasional treatment. Remove the stick.
3) Cold towels. Take old towels, soak them in water and place them in the freezer long enough to make them cold. The dog will enjoy chewing them and help reduce the inflammation up to the gums.
4) Cold rope - Soak the rope and partially freeze it. You want the rope to be large enough so that the dog does not swallow it.
5) Hard Cold Chew Toys - also useful for soothing gums. Place the chewing gum toys in the freezer to cool before feeding the puppy.
6) Bone marrow bones - boil in chicken beef or beef for fifteen minutes. The dog will love them.
7) Aloe Vera - freeze until a slush uniform, and then rub the gums. When the friction of the gums positions itself in the back of the dog and stretches forward to hold the dogs chin and then rub aloe vera into the gums. A good massage of the upper and lower gums also helps.
8) PetAlive Pup Teeth Granules is a very effective way to relieve acute symptoms, soreness and swollen gums. It will also reduce the desire to chew.
What not to do during the cocker spaniel teeth
1) Do not play aggressive games with your dog like tug-of-war. It is better not to engage in any activity that your puppy may associate with aggression and domination.
2) Do not let your Cocker crap old shoes or household items that you no longer need. The dog does not know the difference and will assume that it should be good to chew on items of the same type that he may encounter.
3) Do not shout and do not shout at your dog if it must destroy or chew objects that are prohibited. It is best to catch them in action and redefine your attention to one of the tools listed above. Thus, you can work on the violation of undesirable behavior.
4) Do not let the dog play bite you. At first this may seem likeable, but this behavior will only lead to a bigger problem in the future.
5) Do not let the puppy cup play with small children without supervision.
Simple solutions will help control chewing. You can expect the general dental process to take from 7 to 10 months. Making sure your puppy gets the right nutrients and excise taxes will help advance this process. With proper care and observation, you can easily and quickly control your Cocker Spaniel.
