Crate Train Puppy
There are a number of reasons for having a pet puppy.
Perhaps it was that irresistible puppy or the puppy with lovable eyes!
Regardless of what you liked about your puppy, you will want it to behave well.
This can only be accomplished through training. Keep reading to get the
training done well.
If you want to be successful at puppy obedience training,
you must be willing to commit to a specific amount of time on a consistent
basis. Puppies learn from consistency and repetition. Simply being with your
puppy on a regular basis will help him to recognize you as someone who is
reliable and consistent. These are two qualities that will work to make you the
leader of the pack!
If you want your puppy to be agile, find a breed that is
naturally this way. Any type of puppy could learn how to participate in any
type of sport. Great breeds that come to mind are Shetland sheep puppies and
Australian shepherds.
It is possible to designate a specific indoor area for elimination, as well. Put potty pads in the area, and then slowly move them so that eventually, there is just one pad situated in the spot where you want the puppy to relieve itself.
Since puppies are pack animals, they generally crave leadership. That said, sometimes a puppy will feel like he should be the leader, but he can be put back into his place, too. It is vital that you teach your puppy that you're the alpha so it will feel more secure in obeying you. If you are consistent, your puppy can learn to "hold it." When you're at home, spend enough time with your pet and take him out of the house every hour. Praise him when he uses the bathroom outside.
Do not punish or yell at your puppy for having an accident indoors. It does not know better, and yelling will just scare him. Once your puppy drinks or eats, take him out 15 minutes after finishing. Also, be sure to take him outside after he has exited his crate.
Is your pet dog eating healthy? Just like kids, puppies can get hyperactive, distracted and irritable if they aren't getting the proper nutrition. Your puppy will be more energetic if you give it food suited for puppies.
Do you homework to find out whether your own particular training tactics are appropriate for your puppy's breed. Some breeds just take a little more time to train, due to temperament and ability. There are several puppy breeds that need your patience when training, and basset hounds and bull puppies are just two such breeds. Consistency is key when training a puppy. Use the same words or phrases for commands and speak them in the same tone each time. This consistency is also appropriate for the types of treats and punishments administered during training.
Training your puppy requires you to be firm and authoritative. You should not be yelling at your dog all the time.
When attempting to house train your pup, keep in mind that whatever goes in must go out. In order to regulate your puppy's toileting habits, you should feed him a good quality food at the same times each day. Doing so allows you to gain a clearer picture of when your puppy might need to relieve himself outdoors. Pay attention to the puppy's signs so that accidents indoors do not occur. A lot of puppies show that they have to pee or poo in a certain way. Discovering the pattern can allow you to get the puppy outside in a timely fashion, thus reinforcing desired behaviors. House training is simpler when you make yourself aware of the natural tendencies of your puppy.
One tip to keep in mind when training your puppy is that everything you do with your puppy is molding its personality and behavior. Realize that you could very well sabotage your own training efforts with innocent activities such as rough-housing.
Do not allow your pooch to be in charge of the leash. You have to lead them, nothing else will do. Use a short leash and keep your puppy close to your side, pulling it back when it begins to lead and telling it to heel. Understand that you are the one in charge, not your puppy. You need to stay patient if you are going to be training your puppy. Each puppy is different and learns at a different pace. Many puppies learn quickly, but others, not so much. Be patient and you'll be rewarded in the end.
Anytime your puppy does something good, make sure you reward him. It is important that your dog is able to establish a connection between the command and the action that gains a reward.
If you take your puppy with you when you travel, pack everything he needs for eating, sleeping and eliminating. Items such as food and water dishes are essential when traveling. Don't fret about slugging along the big bag of puppy food as you can simply pick up more puppy food at your destination. Know about what kind of grooming your puppy may need. Weekly or monthly grooming may be necessary for breeds with longer hair; other breeds may be satisfied with a bath only occasionally. Having your puppy groomed keeps them content, clean and limits their susceptibility to disease.
Use the 'shake-can' trick when training your puppy. Put a few coins in an empty soda can and seal it.
Make sure your puppy stays calm as you enter a space that he is in. It is nice to calmly play with your puppies, but remember to stay relaxed. Avoid acknowledging the puppy upon your entry, and you can foster the sort of controlled environment necessary to good behavior. Are you now ready to work with your puppy? The tips here really are priceless. It is a joy to earn a well-trained pet. Of course, training takes time. The minute that your puppy starts obeying every word you will be happy that you decided to train him! Use the advice which applies to your situation and get the job done.
