Discover The Four Secret Puppy Training Tips Experts Rely On

By Geraldine Dimarco


Yes! You finally got the puppy of your dreams! You've already been planning his life before he even stepped into your home. But hold on?aren't you forgetting the other aspect of owning a puppy? Yes, I mean house training a puppy what else? Playing with them is great fun but do not forget that you need to teach them the right behavior early on so they will grow up to happy and confident dogs. If you are new at this, it's alright - everyone was at one point. Here are four really helpful and essential tips to help you get started.

1. You have to establish a right relationship with your puppy. What do I mean? The foundation of every healthy man-canine relationship is the establishment of your authority over him. You can shower him with love and affection but do not neglect to set your leadership in his eyes. Teach the dog some basic commands that will give him the chance to obey you. Say "Sit!" and gently lower him to the desired position. Praise him well for properly accomplished tasks. Do not give in when he whines and complains of anything you have set. If you do so, he will use this to his advantage and you will risk a domineering dog in the future.

2. You will need to potty train your puppy. This is one of the first chores in house training a puppy. Fifteen minutes after meal times, take the young dog outside to eliminate. Circle the area you've chosen for toilet duties and wait for him to do his business there. Right after he unloads, give him a lot of praise him for a job well done. Do this for several weeks every time you go out for this specific purpose. If you find dog matter inside your house, don't get too upset, accidents happen. Clean the spot with a deodorizer thoroughly. Dogs usually sniff out their territory and reclaim soon after.

3. Your puppy will need to develop and grow his social skills. The best time for socializing a puppy is anytime before 3 months of age. Some puppy training tips you can use for socializing the dog is to invite your friends over to meet him. Bring him to busy places and let him play with other healthy animals. Also let him get used to being groomed so that he will not get aggressive and whiny when people pet and touch him in the future. Properly socialized puppies grow up to be healthy, happy and self-assured dogs.

4. You must speak the language puppies understand. The best and probably the only language most animals understand is rewarding him for being good and scolding him for being bad. That part is easy; the trick lies in doing it consistently every day. You cannot reprimand him for being overly aggressive at play one day and the next day overlook the same behavior. This confuses the puppy. Be consistent in your training.

That just about wraps it up. It sounds too simple right? If you read up on other puppy training tips you will find they all branch out from these four foundational issues. Now you have the knowledge. Use it well and be on your way to a responsible, loving puppy training expert in no time at all.
