Training A New Puppy
When someone asks the question how to train a puppy they are asking a very broad
question. There are many levels of puppy training such as housebreaking, chewing, digging, aggression,
walking on a leash, maintaining the alpha role etc. As you can see there is a lot involved when you
want to learn how to train your puppies.
When you are training a new puppy to do whatever, the number one rule is to be
consistent. Being consistent will help your puppy understand a lot quicker as to what you are trying to
teach them. Also the family has to be consistent in what they are doing. All family members need
to be on the same page when training a new puppy.
The earlier you start training a new puppy the better. Your puppy has many things
to learn and his learning is not going to happen overnight. Your puppy needs to learn to go potty
outside, he needs to learn how to act around people especially children, he needs to learn what he can chew
and what is off limits the list just go on and on. Training a new puppy is going to be taking up a lot
of your time.
Remember when training a new puppy that you are trying to train a very young immature doggie. Your training
sessions may not going according to plan so try and be flexible, realistic and patient but always try and end on a
good note.
Another great thing about training a new puppy is the puppy’s attitude. All that
cute little roly-poly puppy really wants to do at this stage in his/her life is to please you. Now is
the time to take advantage of that. As your puppy matures more and he has not had any obedience
training he may well challenge you for the alpha position.
So are you up to the challenge? Training a new puppy can be quite a lot of
fun. You will find that using methods of positive reinforcement is a great way to go about training a
new puppy. So remember training a new puppy is all about bringing up a puppy to be a well-mannered,
well adjusted, socialized member of your pack who will also be a great companion.
The first step in training that new puppy is going to be to
housebreak our new
companion.
