Training Puppy

Everyone loves to have their cute, furry little friend around them; however, you might be a little bit frustrated at the moment based on the fact that your puppy training venture is not going as planned and your puppy keeps making a mess around the house.  I mean, your dog just can’t seem to get it right, or maybe it is just that you haven’t been doing it the right way.  While every puppy is different and will require different attention and techniques to be properly trained, there are certain puppy training tips that you can follow to train any and every dog.  By reading this article you will learn about some puppy training techniques that will train your dog in as little time as possible and in the end lead to a very comfortable relationship between you and your puppy.

It is common nature that all puppies eat and get rid of waste and there is nothing that you can do about it, except properly train them on how to get rid of this waste.  Remember that the more your puppy grows the more they eat, the more energy they burn, and of course, the more they will need to go.  However, based on the fact that puppies have yet to develop proper bladder control, they cannot hold it like older dogs and are therefore, inclined to make a mess in your house and anywhere they are.  If you are to successfully train your pup, you will need to be diligent and dedicated and be there to supervise them as much as possible so that when you see that they want to go, you are able to direct them to where they need to do it.

When training your puppy, keep in mind that they never become properly trained until they are about 6 months old and may take a longer time for some breed of dogs.  With this notion in mind, you know that there are expected to be mistakes; however, don’t stress about these mistakes because they will get it eventually.  Just stay focused and be confident in what you are doing.

House training rules:

• Always reward your puppy when they go in the right place and ensure that the treat is special
• Ensure that your puppy gets frequent access to their toilet area to prevent them from soiling the house
• Never punish your puppy when they make a mistake in the house because they are like children and scolding them will only make things worse.
• Ensure that there feeding schedule is timely and never go against it.
• Keep track of the last time that your puppy went to the bathroom

When training your puppy remember that they need to go to the bathroom every 30-45 minutes; however, this can be changed based on how often they eat and drink.

While it takes some time to train your puppy, it can be done and all it takes is some time and dedication.

If your dog has a litter of puppies, or if you’re planning to buy a new dog, one of the first things to think about is the matter of dog names. Naturally, you don’t want to rush into naming your dog, because it would be a bit awkward and confusing for you and your dog if you change your mind about the name later on. A name given to a dog sticks. You would want to find one that is catchy, practical, and pleasant to the ears.

-First of all, check your dog’s sex. Some sellers actually tell you the wrong gender accidentally and you end up naming without checking. If you don’t know how to tell, flip the dog on its back, and a male dog will have a tiny scrotum. If the dog is eight or more weeks old, it will be easier to tell because the scrotum will have descended by then. A girl dog, on the other hand, will have a tiny slit under the anus.

-Don’t create a false personality for your dog. If, for example, you don’t want to scare your guests off, don’t call him Killer or Shredder. Likewise, do not name him Lazy, Dopey or Grumpy if, for example, you have hopes of entering him in a dog show someday. Names create visual pictures. No matter what the dogs actually looks like, the dog names will inevitably influence how people view them. If you want something that is congruent to the dog’s actual personality, don’t name him immediately. Spend a few days with him to find an appropriate name.

-Choose a name that the dog can easily hear. Hard consonants like T and D are more ideal for dogs. One or two syllables are the easiest to remember.

-Do not give him a name that is the same as a command or the name of a family member. This will only confuse the dog. You might find it amusing to call the dog “Sit” or “Stay”, but you will later regret it when you are trying to train him. Calling him by the name of a family member is also problematic. Imagine the dog bounding up the steps each time you call out your sister’s name.

-Finally, choose a name that YOU are comfortable calling. There may be days when you have to take your dog for a walk, or to the park or beach. If you, for example, call your dog by a profanity or something embarrassing, remember that you will have to shout it out in public. Also, it will be uncomfortable for the dog walker or pet sitter if you get one, so do not try to make their job difficult, as amusing as it may sound.

-If you still have a hard time thinking of a name, do the same as you would when naming a baby. Consult a baby book of names. They usually also have their corresponding meanings listed, so you will probably be able to find one that suits your dog perfectly.

-Books and movies might help. Perhaps you can think back on characters in books or movies that have great name possibilities for your dog. You could also consult mythology- Greek or otherwise. They can give you ideas if you’re looking for a unique name.

-It might help to think of people you know, but as much as possible, do not name them after friends who visit often, or your boss.

Whatever you decide, don’t change your mind about the name. Dog names are an important part of training. If you keep on changing it, he will fail to make the association

Dog training in general is the process of teaching a dog to carry out particular actions in response to specific commands that the dog is trained to comprehend. This guide will show you what dog training is all about as well as some helpful tips.

There are several techniques and aims of training. Dogs may be taught to obey obedience commands, carry out tricks, and perform many other tasks such as tricks, hunting, tracking, rescuing, retrieving, and guarding.

Understand Your Dog

Dog training in general typically requires owners to understand their dog’s behavior. Without this crucial step, dog training usually become problematic—it is important to note  that dogs do not communicate like humans do. They will likely respond to certain cues differently. As pack animals, wild dogs have inherent instincts that prefer cooperation with their companions. Several domestic dogs, whether through breeding or instinct, can appropriately understand and respond to cues given by a human.

Basic Dog Training Pointers

There are several reasons why you’d want your dog to be trained. You may potty train / crate train, correct aggressive dog behavior, train to perform certain tricks, or appropriately handle dog separation anxiety. When you immediately establish that you, the owner, is in charge, you are in the right path to training your dog successfully. You need to start training as early as possible, and teach your puppy to do basic obedience commands, what’s allowed and what’s not allowed, how to heel, and where to do his business.

Getting Started

Dog training requires patience and commitment. Thus, establish a certain amount of time (even as little as half an hour) each day for at least a couple of months for training. In the beginning, training can be quite frustrating for the owner and even for the dog. If you start feeling frustrated by your dog’s inability to comprehend a command, it would be a good idea to take a fun break for awhile. Keep things fun and simple—a sign of frustration from you could make your dog worried and confused.

Establish Who’s Boss

You need to make your dog understand that you are the ‘pack leader’ and not him. Dogs naturally have a hierarchy, so you need to establish who is boss, and that should definitely be you. It’s tempting to spoil your dog, but this will likely lead to problems that will actually strain the relationship between you, your dog and other people and animals. Ultimately, this could lead to behavior problems in your dog that will be more difficult to handle or correct.

Use Training Aids When Necessary

You may use training aids such as training collars and leashes. However, keep in mind that attitude is the most crucial. Never lose your temper and hit your dog. Instead, use a firm tone of voice and of course, rewards. Use short and clear commands that have a distinct sound, such as come, stay, sit and down.

Tips

Dog training in general will require you to be patient. Even if your dog already understands your commands, training should not stop. Use the same tone of voice, commands and gestures when needed.

Dogs are usually considered friendly around human beings. However, they call for adequate training to fit in the human home. It often requires time and patience to train them and make them well-behaved in your household as well as within the social environment. This article will give you some free dog training tips to get you started on training your dog.

Get To Know Your Dog’s Behavior

Correcting or modifying your dog’s behavior may be a quite challenging task at first. However, there’s no need to worry as all dogs, no matter what breed or current behavior they display, can definitely be trained if handled with a bit of care and patience. Dogs are in a way like very young children—they won’t be able to comprehend your language even if you expect or want them to. You need to go to your dog’s level and communicate with it the way it’s used to if it were in a pack. There are several sources such as e-books that will teach you free dog training tips on how to ‘read’ your dog’s behavior and use it to your advantage.

Train At Your Dog’s Level

Your first task is to understand why your dog is acting the way it does. A long time ago wild dogs lived in packs. That instinct to stay in a pack has become an inherent trait among domesticated dogs today. Knowing this, you should try to establish who’s ‘leader of the pack,’ and that should be you. Otherwise, your dog will naturally think he’s the leader, and this can lead to certain problems such as aggressive behavior.

Be Consistent

Have patience and be persistent. Before training your dog, remember that results will not show overnight. You’ll find that commands will need to be repeated over and over again before your dog can catch up. He can suddenly become stressed, frustrated or confused—this is natural. In short, understand that training will take some time. So just be consistent with your commands (without changing your tone from firm to harsh, for example), and take breaks when you feel you or your dog is getting frustrated.

Take It One Step At A Time

Train your dog one step at a time. Don’t attempt to train him three or more tricks in a day, unless your dog can actually handle that. Utilize positive strengthening techniques to train your dog simple commands such as stay, sit, come, down and stop.

Reward, Not Hit

This is pretty simple. Reward your dog when it does something acceptable. If it’s doing something inappropriate, such as doing its business by the furniture or chewing off your shoe, simply say NO in a firm but not harsh manner. NEVER hit your dog, since that will only encourage aggressive behavior.

Socialize Early

Socialize your dog as early as possible. The later your do it the more difficult it will be for your dog to behave appropriately in social settings such as in the park or when it is with other dogs or humans.

Everything your dog does is an opportunity to teach him. Hopefully, you’ve benefited from these free dog training tips.
