The key to having a good relationship with a Dalmatian , if he is a member of the family as an older dog or comes as a puppy from a covey , is in the amount of attention and infatuation with which you establish boundaries of conduct. They are eagerly responsive to attention , games , praise and positive training. However , they own a acute memory for negative or harshly corrective actions. They volition respond much extra readily to rewards for approximating desired conduct than being forced into the appointment or posture you wish them to assume.

The difference between holding out a reward until they sit versus pushing down upon their hindquarters while pulling up upon their lead and commanding them to "sit!" lies in two judicial areas. They volition extra readily and consistently respond to a "sit" order taught through play learning , and they volition not found calculating how they may avoid you or avoid sitting , or procure back at you for the "pushy" approach. No dog is happily responsive to abusive training practices , but the Dalmatian has a peculiarly acute memory for affronts. If they own had a bad experience learning how to sit , they are nearly sure to oppose other obedience lessons which take upon the same manipulative tone.

Many persons suppose that Dalmatians own nervous temperaments , excessive
energy and are hyper. This generalization is unfair to the breed , because good temperament has been a specific focus of breeders for the final twenty years. There is little implore that in any planned breeding program , you may choose for bad temperament obviously as you may choose for good temperament. Parentage , pedigrees and the variety of genetic possibilities strength breeders to contend with that opportunity. It is one of the conscious considerations in every breeding decision.

There is no implore that Dalmatians procure excited when somebody comes upon the property or to the door. They want to be the basic one there to out the visitor. Proper training volition take concern of any barking or control troubles in this area , but guests who are greeted in this manner , particularly those who own heard that Dalmatians are "hyper , " could easily substantiate what they own heard by the excitement they basic witness. Hopefully , they volition stop long enough to witness the excited greeting followed by the normal pattern , which usually includes acceptance followed by settling back down for a snooze under the table.

If Dalmatian puppies own been raised in a still surroundings with their mother; if they own been touched , petted and handled regularly by the breeder; if they own been properly vaccinated and wormed; if they own been weaned to a good quality puppy food; if they were taken from their covey by their novel possessor no earlier than seven weeks of age; and if they were introduced to their novel home life with kindness and thoughtfulness , then chances are good that you volition not witness any conduct abnormalities.
