Many people choose to adopt a puppy without really thinking
it through first. You need to be very dedicated to training a new pet. They
need to be properly trained so that they are well-behaved and do not get into
any trouble. This article provides the basics for puppy training.
When training your puppy, do not use food solely the source
of control when it comes to its behavior. Food is something that your puppy
must have to survive. Therefore, you should find other ways to reward your puppy.
Give your puppy a bit of praise in addition to food treats.
Feeding your puppy well and giving him lots of toys will
stop him from rummaging through trash. You can also curb such behavior by
emptying the trash often and putting savory leftovers in a separate, sealed
bag. Make sure your puppy is crated whenever you leave the house, or else empty
out our trash.
Love your puppy at all times during the day. When your puppy
is showing good behaviors, lots of positive reinforcement is important. When he
behaves and obeys you, shower him with praise. This reinforces the positive
behaviors in such a way that your puppy wants to obey you.
Don't vocalize your puppy's name negatively. Your puppy will
behave and not get confused if their name is always used in a positive way for
this reason, avoid using names when upset or as punishment.
Consistency is imperative when training a puppy. Consistency
means using the same words for commands, the same tone, and the same rewards
whenever your puppy successfully completes a task.
Make sure that you use control to reward your puppy's good
training behavior. Reward them only when your puppy is calm after it performs a
trick. Even though your accomplishment might thrill you, they reflect your
energy. Do not lose control of any situation with contagious excitement and
enthusiasm. Remain calm, expect them to be calm, and then award them when
appropriate.
One tip to keep in mind when training your puppy is to
never, ever reward bad behavior in an effort to quickly end a behavior. That
will result in the puppy thinking it can do whatever it wants, whenever it
wants. For instance, avoid giving treats to calm a barking puppy.
Does your puppy have a problem with biting furniture or even
other people? If so, then spray them with a mist of water. This helps the puppy
learn which behaviors are not acceptable. Afterwards your puppy won't do these
things anymore.
If your puppy has been behaving badly for years, it will be
hard to get rid of this behavior for good. If the previous owner or you have
let your puppy sleep on all kinds of furniture or jump up on other people for a
long time, it can take some time to change those behaviors. If the behavior was
addressed when the puppy was a puppy, then it can be easier to change the
behavior more quickly.
Pay attention to the puppy's signs so that accidents indoors
do not occur. Puppies will behave in a certain way when they start to 'feel the
need'. Learning this pattern can help you take your puppy out immediately and
it shows them what proper behavior is. Being in sync with the natural
tendencies of your puppy will make house training much easier for both of you.
As the puppy gets better at training, you can let it have
more freedom. You will find your puppy to be more obedient and your puppy will
be happier. Be cautious on not giving your puppy too much freedom right away,
because this could have a bad effect when it comes to your puppy's training.
Training success means scheduling training every single day
consistently. Puppies will learn orders after you repeat them for a while.
Additionally, the act of spending time with your pet each day will make it know
that you're a reliable and consistent person. This will help him start to see
you as a leader.
Always make use of positive reinforcement when it comes to
training your puppy. Praise your puppy when he deserves it, and give him treats
to show that you are pleased. Don't yell and/or hit your puppy. Not only does
it not work, it encourages the belief by the puppy that you have no idea what
is going on. Instead, make sure you are firm, patient, consistent and positive
so that you can achieve the best possible results.
You must remain flexible when it comes to training. This
will allow you to still teach your puppy when it is struggling. This allows you
to adjust your training methods to whatever works best for your puppy.
Even a well-trained family puppy that is already a
satisfying pet will benefit from the tips presented here. Make sure you react
before the puppy injures himself or someone else.
