How to train a puppy to stand and walk? First, exercise the strength of the dog's hind limbs, put the puppy's forelimbs on a slightly higher place to maintain the posture, then place the dog in a softer place, and use the wall as a support to keep standing. Then let the dog stand independently, remove all supports, and use alternating "handshakes" to prevent the dog's forelimbs from falling to the ground. Then train it to walk, help the puppy get into a good posture, and the owner should walk farther away, call the dog's name and give the command "come here". At the beginning, he should provide timely help and encouragement.

(1) The task in the first week is to exercise the strength of the dog’s hind limbs. First put the dog's forelimbs on a slightly higher place, keep this position unchanged, and just keep it for 10 minutes to let the dog adapt to this feeling.

(2) The task in the second week is to further strengthen the strength of the hind limbs. Train your dog to stand with his back to the wall. Place the dog on a relatively soft place such as a sofa or bedding, and use the wall as a support to help the dog stay standing for 5-10 minutes each time.

(3) The task in the third week is to let the dog stand independently. Remove all supports and allow the dog to stand independently. At the beginning, the dog's persistence time will be relatively short. In order to enhance the dog's confidence, the owner should constantly encourage the dog and use alternating "handshakes" to cleverly prevent the dog's forelimbs from falling to the ground. Slowly, the dog will Standing for longer periods of time without realizing it.

(4) The task of the fourth week is to train the dog to walk. After taking the dog to a quiet place and helping it get into a good posture, the owner walks to a position two meters away from the dog, calls the dog's name and gives the "come here" command. At the beginning, the dog's forelimbs fall easily to the ground, and the owner should provide timely help and encouragement.

 (5) After practice, the dog will be able to extend the walking distance by assembly, and you will have an upright "superhuman" dog. Take it out for show!

Notes:

 (1) At the beginning, don’t pay too much attention to the dog’s walking speed. You should pay more attention to the accuracy of the dog’s movements and the sense of balance of the body.

 (2) Learning to walk is relatively difficult and boring. In order to improve the dog's enthusiasm, the owner can walk in front and guide the dog to continue moving forward.

(3) Walking upright is not suitable for the dog’s body structure. Do not let the dog perform this skill frequently or for too long.
