Dalmatian puppies are very sensitive. They are a little afraid of what experience or situation they may be in. It is important that, while training your Dal, there are a variety of experiences and dogs available to them. It will help teach your Dal that they can trust both you and the situation they are in. Train with a firm gentleness, rewarding often and with positivity. Ensuring your Dal sees and experiences many of life’s pleasant (and sometimes unpleasant!) parts of life early on will help them grow into a more well-rounded, well-adjusted dog.
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
