Most people love dogs, because of the love and enjoyment they can bring. You may have your hands full when first getting a dog. Training your puppy takes a lot of time. Use the tricks written here and you will surely be able to train your dog easily.
When training a puppy to use a crate it is important to take your time and start with only a few steps at a time. When they seem comfortable in it with the door open, try shutting the gate and feed them treats through the wires. Leave them in for short periods of time, as little as 10 seconds. Work up from there. If they start to fuss, you are going too fast.
Your training sessions must be long enough for your dog to learn the desired behavior but no so long that he becomes bored. Begin with brief sessions and extend them from there. Note how far into the training session your dog loses his attention span. That’s the time to quit.
Chew Toys
Make sure your teething puppy has a bunch of chew toys readily available to him, and keep other things he likes to chew on away from him. Give the dog one of its own chew toys right away. Chew toys are essential for puppies who are experiencing pain from teething. A great alternative is a frozen wash cloth.
Keep your dogs tied at a safe distance from each other. Their chains could get tangled up and as they struggle to get free; there is a good chance the dogs can get injured. If one dog happens to be much larger than the other, the small dog could get tangled to the point that it could choke to death.
Now that you understand how to deal with your puppy, the time has come to apply the above tips. Stay patient and reward your dog when they act properly. It won’t be an overnight success story, but with time you both will be much happier.
