4 Simple Steps to a Well Behaved Puppy

        By Guy Ray:

Puppy training is a lot like training your child. When dealing with behaviour issues you should always be consistent.

When you bring the puppy home decide on one person who will be training the dog. Try to always have that person training the dog, this creates less confusion. Dogs are pack animals and will try to assert there dominance but a few training tips can help him see someone else as the leader of the pack.

 Puppies like babies teeth. Biting and chewing are caused by the puppy teething. It can also be caused by excess energy and stress. Puppies understand low guttural sounds and will react to them. If he begins to bite or chew on something inappropriate then say "no" in a low guttural voice. Then proceed to give him a safe chew toy that he can chew and bite. Giving them chew toys that resemble things he cannot chew or bite will only confuse him , so be careful of what chew toys he receives.

 Barking is another common and annoying puppy behaviour. Excessive barking can be fixed with a little puppy training. It is often caused by loneliness or boredom. If the cause is loneliness then spending a little more time with the dog may be the answer. If this puppy training doesn't work it may be that it has become a habit. Try filling an empty can with some pebbles, when the dog barks roll the can in his direction and use the low guttural voice to tell him "no". The can is not to hit dog , only to startle him and grab his attention. Puppies like to dig. Sometimes it is because of the breed.

 Some breeds are just known to be diggers. Unfortunately there is no definite puppy training to cure this one. Instead try to understand why they are digging and fix that problem. It may not cure the problem but it may help. If the dog is digging during the summer months to find a cooler spot, try providing a cooler spot for your dog to lay down.

A puppy that jumps on you might be cute but imagine him as an adult dog jumping on you. Part of puppy training is fixing the behaviour problems before they become adult dogs. There is a way to discourage the puppies jumping. Avoid petting your puppy when he jumps, it will only encourage him. When your puppy jumps lean towards him and say in a low guttural voice "off". When he backs away tell him to sit and then praise him. This shows him that he will only get what he wants by doing the desired behaviour.

 Puppy training takes patience and consistency. However puppy training is a lot easier than training an adult dog. Taking care of the problems while he is still a puppy will save you a lot of frustration in the end.

Why Effective Dog Training is Necessary

Effective dog training is necessary for both a pet's safety and
the quality of life for both dog and master.

Dog Training Tips
When you are training a new dog, it is best to face reality:
most of us are not the Dog Whisperer. Dog training books can help new owners train their young pet's good behaviour skills
from the first step instead of dealing with bad behaviour later.
They also help frustrated owners whose relationship with their
pets is strained because of behaviour issues.  

Train Your Dog To Exercise Indoors
Exercise is as important for your pet as it is for you and every
dog should get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Just
like with humans, exercise has health benefits for your dog such
as conditioning his muscles, helping his heart stay healthy and
even helping him have a positive attitude.


Your Dog Training Attitude is Everything
There is nothing more critical to the victory of dog training
than the owner's attitude. The mindset of the trainer is more
significant than the equipment purchased, the correct scheme
used, or the breed of dog involved. Nothing can obliterate the
chances of effective training more rapidly than an owner with
the wrong attitude on the training process.
