Try to train your puppy the correct way so that your house
is calm and peaceful. Attempt some of the following tips. Some of the hints may
make all of the difference to your relationship with your puppy.
Make sure to give your puppy a good hour of exercise each
and every day. When your puppy gets adequate exercise, he can be trained more
effectively and it can bring out your puppy's good behavior. A puppy who has
proper training and enough play time will be a happy puppy.
Sometimes, you will notice that your puppy may try to bite
you during training. It is important that you establish to your puppy that you
are leader of the pack. Therefore, it's important that you showcase alpha
behavior so that your puppy will be aware that they aren't the leader. You are.
Keep in mind that even the nicest puppies can bite if they become startled or
feel threatened.
Put yourself in your puppy's proverbial shoes, or paws,
rather. When your puppy is slow to learn, you may become frustrated. Don't give
up- think like your puppy! Trying to see things the way that your puppy does
may be able to give you an idea of the right kind of training for your puppy.
You should be sure to respond positively when your puppy
does something good. Smile often and keep treats handy to ensure that the
positive reinforcement is quick and consistent. Do not reward your puppy after
bad behavior, it will get confused.
It will take time to train your puppy so patience is
necessary. Train them gradually so they do not feel rushed into anything. Many puppies
learn quickly, but others, not so much. If you are to instill the best
behaviors in your puppy, you should always be patient.
Try to keep your leash loose when you take your puppy
outside to train. When puppys go on walks, they frequently want to explore all
the new sights and sounds. Because of their eagerness; they tend to strain on
the limits of a leash. Some owners do not encourage this behavior and instead,
allow some slack on the leash.
Give your puppy a clear verbal cue that means
"yes" to aid in training. Using a positive word such as
"yes" will fill the time between the performance of the desired
behavior and the delivery of the reward.
Train your puppy to stop barking with a treat. Show the puppy
a treat as incentive, then repeat the command until they obey it. Then, you
reward them with a treat. This positive reinforcement will help to get your puppy
to learn.
Bad behavior must be called out in the moment. Use a firm
voice when you say "no" to your puppy. Do not yell and hit your puppy
despite any mistakes it does. Discourage bad behavior when it occurs or soon
after. Puppys can't remember very long. By waiting, your puppy will simply get
confused.
To make sure your puppy's behavior stays good, you should
continue training him throughout its life. Your puppy doesn't stop learning
just because it's no longer a puppy. Your puppy will continue to be obedient if
you use reinforcements. Continuing discipline with them will reduce the chances
of bad behavior appearing.
Chewing is something that can prove to be distressing and
destructive when it comes to your puppy's behavior. Training your puppy to not
chew on inappropriate items will save your property, and might save your pet's
life. Try keeping items where your puppy will not be able to reach for them.
There are also various bitter tasting sprays that you can use to keep puppies
away from immovable objects like heavy furniture.
Avoid accidents if you want to housebreak your puppy. Learn
to read your puppy and anticipate his needs. It's common for them to snuffle,
wise and pace when they have to go. When this happens, take action immediately.
Head outdoors to the assigned potty spot right away. Give him praise when he
eliminates correctly. Over time, he will be able to signal to you his need to
relieve himself.
Working on your puppy's recall is essential. Regardless of
the situation, your puppy must be taught to come back to you when it is called.
Your puppy will learn that he is to come to you even when there are
distractions after time. You might just save your canine's life some day
because of recall, so never skip or pass on training this, regardless of what
it takes to get it done.
Use the right size crate for effective crate training. Don't
forget that puppies get bigger. Choose a crate which will be suitable for the
puppy when he matures into an adult. There should be ample room for the puppy
to lie down and turn comfortably.
Hopefully now that you have read this article you have a
better understanding of how to effectively train your puppy. Be prepared to
practice patience. A successful obedience training program will yield a much
happier life with your pet.
