5 Puppy Training Tips For A Better Dog
from:Who doesn't love a puppy? They are cute, fluffy, and playful.
However, don't let those innocent puppy eyes fool you - all
puppies grow up to be dogs, and puppies growing up without the
benefit of puppy training often grow up to be bad dogs. Here are
some easy tips for puppy training to make the transition from
puppy to dog easier on both of you. 1. Puppies grow up - act
accordingly. Many puppy parents hold off on puppy training
because, after all, they are just puppies. They think that puppy
antics are incredibly cute. However, every time your puppy does
something, remember how big your puppy will be as an adult.
While a 10 pound lab puppy might be cute playing tug of war with
your pant leg, chances are it won't be nearly as cute when your
100 pound adult lab does the same thing. Basic puppy training
means setting guidelines about appropriate behavior from the
first day home.
2. Make the crate a second home. Another part of puppy training
is to give the puppy his or her own space. The easiest way to do
this is with a crate. The crate provides the puppy a place to
sleep, a place to keep the puppy safe when you are not around,
and an easy way for you to travel. Puppies do not like to go to
the bathroom where they sleep, so a crate can be a very useful
tool when doing puppy house training. The crate should be large
enough that your puppy can stand up, turn around, and lay down
comfortably, but not so large that he or she can poop in one
corner and lay down in another. Do not leave puppies in the
crate for extended periods of time - a puppy can hold his or her
bladder for about as many hours as it is months old.
3. Never hit a puppy. It is a common misconception that hitting
a puppy is part of puppy training. However, hitting a puppy
during puppy training more often than not will lead to only one
of two things - a dog that is afraid of you or a dog that is
aggressive. Neither is the desired result of puppy training, and
this will lead to a dog that does not make a very good pet.
4. Make puppy happy for coming. Getting puppy to come to you
when called is one of the first puppy training steps that you
should take. Doing this step of puppy training will have many
uses - it will allow you to distract puppy from wrongful
behaviors, it will allow you to find puppy if it becomes lost,
and it can keep puppy from dangers activities like running into
traffic. During puppy training, reward puppy every time he or
she responds and comes when called. Small treats and lavish
praises and pats will teach puppy that coming when called is a
good thing.
5. Socialize. An integral part of puppy training is training
your puppy the proper behavior around other dogs and people.
Take puppy out often, exposing him or her to new situations and
new people and pets. Reward the puppy for desired behavior, and
reinforce simple commands like sit and stay. Remember to stay
calm, as puppy will read your emotions and act accordingly.
Starting puppy training early will lead to a lifetime of good
times with your dog.
