How To Master Puppy Training
Raising a puppy or dog is very much like raising a child. In fact, one way per family in general! However when it comes to raising a child there are many things you wouldn’t associate with raising a dog. I’ve listed below a few items you may want to take into account before you decide to buy a dog or puppy. How many times have we heard, “My dog just won’t listen to me”, or “He just won’t behave!”
You can get your dog to understand what you’re saying.
The great thing about owning a dog is how loyal they are to us. You might not know but dogs are excellent at reading your body laguage and they do this intently when you fist get them home. They start by using the skills they already possess before we teach them more, like how to understand what we say to them.Until we teach them the English language, it’s all they have. If we say; “Wanna go out?” one day, “Have to go potty?” the next day, and, “Hafta pee?” the third day. They will only learn what we are saying because although you’re using different commands each and everytime you move to the door with their leash in hand. If you want your dog to learn quicker then kepp things simple and consistent. Select a single instruction per activity you want your dog to obey, not three.Pick a command for EACH behavior and stick with it. Tell all in your family to use the same words and commands, and your puppy will amaze you at how much faster he learns.
Your puppy grows quicker than you think.
In the first few weeks of your puppy’s life he will need to be watched all the time as he will need to be let outside a lot during the day. If your puppy has an accident in your house don’t punish him. You will need to let him out on a regular basis and if hegoes toilet indoors, you’ve only got yourself to blame. Once an hour is not too often for a large 6-week old puppy, especially if it is summertime. By giving your puppy the opportunity to go on a regular basis means they will be used to going outside to toilet and will want to go outside when they need to go. Keep your eye out for the best times to let your puppy out; after play time and definately after they’ve eaten or had a drink. A good tell tale sign that your puppy needs to go is when he is distracted away suddenly from something he was happy doing like playing with a toy. Whenever he goes outside and goes to the toilet make sure you give him lots of prasie and even give him a treat. He will associate alkl this with going outside to toilet. They love it when we show these positive reactions.
Your dog just lives to get positive body language from you.
Because of this, the worst punishment you ever need to give your dog is a scowl and to turn away from him. Signs to watch for are his ears and eyes drop and he may even whine or cry slightly. If your puppy does something you don’t like just simply ignore this behavior only and only do this for a minute per year of age of your dog. In the case of a puppy I’d go by age in months. Love him up and give him your happy face again. Don’t ever use any form of physical abuse to punish your puppy, EVER! Give lots of loving attention to your puppy all time and especially when they behave appropriately and do as you command. By doing this your puppy will be an expert at understanding you in no time at all.
You’ll find that you will need to tarin your puppy to do a number of different commands. To own a well behaved dog you’ll need to apply these positive reinforcement techniques. These are tips on how I approach dog training and I’ve been successful with them and I’m sure you will be too.
