It can take a lot of work training a brand new puppy. That said, it is also crucial. Positive training is the only method worth using. It is important to be consistent and extremely patient when training your dog. Plan on spending at least 20 or 30 minutes a day training your puppy, because it will not be receptive for a longer period of time. Dogs who are forced to train for long periods of time become bored and distracted.
Make sure to give your puppy plenty of toys that are okay to chew, so that he isn’t tempted to chew other things that aren’t okay to chew. Put the chew toy in front of it immediately so it learns that this toy is what it should be chewing. If teething is causing your dog a great of pain, give him a frozen washcloth to chew on and relieve the pain.
Consistency is critical for crate training to succeed. When you let the puppy out of his crate you must immediately and unfailingly allow him the opportunity to relieve himself. Your puppy will eventually become able to relieve itself less frequently.
Never reinforce your dog’s bad behaviors. This means you must not reward your dog with attention or treats for doing something you don’t want it to do. For instance, don’t pat your dog on the head if it’s jumping up on you.
To strengthen your training efforts, you can use a designated verbal command to help your animal know what your expectations are and when they have been fulfilled. “Yes” is the perfect word to show dogs approval before giving a treat.
Applying these tips will make dog training easier for you. The end result is a happier and more respectful relationship with your dog. When you use the training techniques we have listed, are patient and consistent, your canine training will be easier.
