Teaching your dog or puppy to act properly, or more appropriately, training him or her to act properly doesn't have to be a battle. Using these dog training tips and techniques can help make your training experience fun and enjoyable for both you and your new companion.
Remember your training method should not only be enjoyable, but productive too. Consider that expecting too much too soon can be disastrous! Puppies can start to be housebroken, or potty trained, with either training pads or crate training at between two and three months. For formal obedience training waiting until at least three months is recommended, slightly younger, two months or so, for socialization training. Training before the pet can effectively absorb the lessons will make teaching frustrating and tiring.
When you determine your puppy is ready, keep your training sessions to 10 to 15 minutes to start. Be sure to begin in a quiet area, free of distractions so your obedience commands are all your student has to concentrate on. Slowly start introducing training in different situations and surroundings as time goes on. Keep in mind that just as with children, positive reinforcement works wonders in both dog and puppy obedience training. Reward your canines behavior with treats and praise in a high excited voice. This will ensure your pet responds well to commands in future training sessions. Something else to consider, research and train for your breed. For example a retriever may take to playing fetch faster than another breed.
Whether for housebreaking, obedience, agility or general animal behavior it's important to be patient and loving. Remember this furry little face is the newest addition to your family.
