Answer :

Owning a dog is a big responsibility and giving your dog the best care and attention can help to improve the quality and length of your dog’s life. Feeding your dog a well balanced diet is clearly necessary to keep him fit and healthy, but other activities such as exercise, training, grooming and regular visits to the veterinarian are equally as important.
Feeding : Feeding maunfatured complete food like Pedigree puppy or pedigree weaning is a good start for his optimum growth and health. He need only water when fed on pedigree.
Dogs don't learn the difference between right and wrong like humans – instead, if they associate an action with a pleasant response, they will repeat it: if they see an unpleasant response, they will avoid the behaviour. So, for your canine pal to distinguish the behaviour you want from a wrong action, you need to reward him with praise or food when he does something correctly and provide something unpleasant, a stern "No!" or a quick pull on his collar when he behaves inappropriately.
