Puppy Training Techniques

Here's a little advice about how to train a puppy.

 

Puppy training may take a little patience but it doesn't have to be difficult. Dogs are intelligent animals and they want to please you. There will be times when you get frustrated and perhaps want to react angrily. Remember they are ready to please, but it is up to you to communicate with them correctly and consistently in order to get them to behave appropriately.

 

There are hundreds of books, videos and websites about how to train a puppy. The first lesson for you is to reward good behavior and not to reward bad behavior. This simply means giving the right attention at the right time – consistently.

 

Puppy training starts with teaching them their name and a few easy dog obedience commands. Dogs don't automatically understand “sit, stay or down”. Just like they can't respond to their names, if they don't hear it consistently. Most owners find that a dog will respond best to a short name with one or two syllables. That's why the names Rover and Fido are popular. To teach your puppy his name, say it when you are providing leadership tasks such as feeding time or when you are grooming or petting him. It is particularly important when you are preparing to feed. Saying his name will ensure that your puppy will have a positive experience and association with you as the pack leader (provider) and hearing his name.

 

Teaching basic commands is one of the fundamentals of puppy training. This is how and when you show the dog what you want and then you say the command. For example, when teaching “sit”, take a treat and hold it right up to his nose, but not close enough that he can take it. Raise the treat up and above his head, this should put him in the right position to push his bottom towards the floor. Once his bottom gets close to the floor, say “sit”. He will learn to associate the word with the action of planting his butt on the ground.

 

All other commands are taught in a similar fashion. Training a puppy isn't as hard as you thought it was. All it takes is experience, consistency and lots of patience.
