Puppy Training Commands
You love the puppy and your stuff, but your puppy doesn't
love your stuff. That said, your puppy doesn't feel the same way. This article
will provide proven tips and tricks that have been known to help eliminate
unwanted puppy chewing.
Puppy training needs to not use regular puppy food. Food is
something that your puppy must have to survive. Therefore, you should find
other ways to reward your puppy. Additionally, you need to pet and praise your
puppy.
When training your puppy, one of the first commands they
should be aware of is the "drop" command, which lets them know they
should drop any items they have in their mouth. This is a good way to keep your
puppy from chewing things and make sure they do not chew dangerous objects.
The secret to good puppy training is that it must be
continued throughout the puppy's life. Lots of owners simply think that once
their puppy is initially trained, it won't ever have to be trained again.
That's a lie. Your puppy will keep learning from you its whole life. Use
positive reinforcement consistently, and your puppy will return the favor.
Puppy's names should only be used positively. The puppy will
begin to associate his own name with positive behaviors. So, don't say your
puppy's name negatively.
When you are training your puppy friend, use what is known
as primary reinforcement. This means you should reward it for good behavior.
This can be a belly rub, a favorite toy or a tasty treat. This way, the puppy
can learn how he can get things he wants.
Training sessions should be kept short. A puppy has a short
attention span, and a 15 minute training session is just about right. You
should praise your pet for a job well done after training.
If you're taking your puppy on a trip, take all of his gear
with you. Water, bowls, bathroom bags and paper towels are good things to have
to help everything run smoothly. Don't fret about slugging along the big bag of
puppy food as you can simply pick up more puppy food at your destination.
Reprimands should be delivered quickly and in a sharp tone.
Do not drag on in a rant to your puppy about how bad they are. Just tell them
no, and redirect them to the task you are asking them to do. Make sure your
voice sounds firm and businesslike.
Using a loose leash is key when you are training your puppy
to accept a leash. Puppies like to explore new places when they are out on a
walk. Their enthusiasm will lead to a large amount of strain being applied to
their leash. Instead of setting up this dynamic, put some slack into the leash
in order to help your pet walk with you.
Alter your tone when speaking to your puppy during your
training. Use different tones for orders, praises, warnings and reprimands so
your puppy can easily distinguish your different reactions. Stand firm and be
sharp when using commands. Use louder tones for corrections, and use your
natural tone when giving praise.
Begin the puppy training process with a simple task. This
will cause you to get your puppy to learn its first trick quickly, which is
rewarding. It will also show your puppy what training is all about. Doing this
will give you better results in your training.
As the puppy gets better at training, you can let it have
more freedom. Rewarding them by showing them you trust them more will only
encourage better behavior. Just make sure your puppy is properly trained before
giving him so much slack.
If you have a pet you might think that you cannot do this.
However, training a puppy is not that complicated and is possible for even the
busiest owners, as long as they understand what each puppy needs.
Establish a verbal cue to let your puppy know when a command
has been carried out to your satisfaction. "Yes" works very well when
said the same way time and time again.
Improving the puppy's recall is key. You should always have
a pet that will come back to your area immediately when they are called.
Training your puppy in small increments will help him to obey no matter what
else is going on. Recall could save your pet's life, so be sure not to skip
this type of training although it may be challenging and time-consuming.
Be sure to be affectionate with your puppy. When your puppy
exhibits the right behavior, reward it with positive attention. Praise
liberally for good listening and good behavior. This will make your puppy
happy, not to mention easier to train because he is in a good mood.
In conclusion, put a stop to your puppy chewing on your
items. This will keep your puppy from injuring themselves while saving you
quite a bit of money as well. This article has a ton of helpful hints to get
you started.
