Training your puppy may be time consuming, but the rewards will be felt for a lifetime. Any doubters should catch the "Marley and Me" movie for reinforcement of this statement. Your cute little squirming bundle of joy will not be so lovable as an out of control grown and rambunctious dog. Puppy training is a great way to nip behavior problems in the bud as well as developing bonds of respect and love.
We are just going to cover a few simple but effective aspects for training puppies here.
Who am I?
Once you have decided on a great and unique moniker for your new best friend, you need to teach it to your puppy. There is no point giving your pup a great name if your dog never realizes it is his name. After selecting the world's best name you will need to start calling your new puppy by this. If your dog looks totally clueless start by calling "Puppy" as well as the new label. Most pups will happily respond to the word puppy. When you get your puppy's attention with the new name it is important to praise, reward, treat or cuddle. This way your dog understands that when you call his name it is worthwhile for him to pay attention.
If you are going to rouse on your dog just say "No", do not add their name as well. Most puppies should pick up on their new name within a few days to a week. Be sure to use the name frequently when talking to your puppy.
Coming on command.
It is vital that your dog will eventually come every time you call him. Once your dog recognizes his name it is time to start teaching him to come . Call your dog's name in a friendly voice. For example "Rover come here". When your dog comes over reward with praise, food or a cuddle. Your dog needs to associate "Come" with pleasant things. If you call your dog over for a beating or a rousing he may never come again when you call him.
Sit.
Another extremely important concept for your dog to understand is "Sit". This can be a lifesaver later on when your overgrown pup is jumping on everyone in sight. It will also be easier for you to leash train when your dog understands the meaning of the word "sit". Luckily, teaching "sit" is relatively simple.
Start off by saying "Sit" and pushing gently on your dog's butt. Your pup will naturally be forced to sit. At this moment reward your pup. Try this technique a few times at a go. It will not be long before your puppy totally understands the meaning of the word "sit". Once your puppy has learned this trick be sure to keep practicing a few times a day.
Training a puppy need not be frustrating. Use puppy training time as an opportunity to build love and respect between you and your puppy. Dogs need boundaries to keep them as man's best friend. Puppy obedience is as important to your dog's well-being as food and shelter.
