We all dream of caring for a perfect dog, a puppy who is a good canine citizen or a good dog and is well behaved and can be relied upon at all times. Good dreams do come true if the training is done with full attention and dedication. Remember puppies learn from day one and need to be taught what is right, what is wrong, and proper socialization.

Puppies are like children, they need constant supervision and training. Training a puppy doesn’t need to be full of trials all that you need to remember are a few simple rules:

Watch Your Puppy

1.) Until your puppy learns, you need to watch them at all times. When you can’t, you should to crate them. Create a schedule for your puppy and this will help the puppy settle down quickly. The schedule should include things like hourly bathroom visits, meal times, rest periods, walks, play time, training, and so on. A puppy that has a busy day doesn’t have time to get bored and be naughty.

Get Respect

2.) Teach puppies to respect you. Dogs live in groups and instinctively follow a leader. If you build your leadership without any conditions, training will be easy because the puppy will obey you at all times and not challenge your authority.

Keep Things Positive

3.) Use only positive training methods. Never shout, hit or punish a dog. This is not only cruel but can cause behavioral problems. The use of electric shock, branch collars, sprays, etc. can injure the animal.

No Free Rides

4.) Teach puppies “nothing in life is free.” This is a system that is widely recognized as a useful training tool. If you practice this, the puppy will learn that to get something like love, take a walk, or treat, they must behave well.

No Means No

5.) Teach the meaning of “No,” from day one. Don’t encourage behaviors such as jumping, babbling, tugging, barking, or running out of open gates and doors. Praise good behavior and ignore them or walk away when there is bad behavior. The puppy will learn that if they act unfairly, they will lose their friend / playmate.

Catch Them In The Act

6.) To improve a behavior, you must catch the puppy in action and surprise them by shaking a can filled with rocks. After you do this, make them improve their behavior and immediately offer them treats and praise. The puppy does not remember what happened before so scolding him after an event is of no use.

Positive Name Use

7.) Always call / use their name positively. Never say “Bad Fido,” or “No Fido,” this will cause confusion and the puppy will think that if you call their name then that is something bad. The puppy must associate its name with happy events such as hugs, petting, walks, treats, and the like. If this happens, they will come voluntarily when you call his name.

Schedule

8.) Keep your training schedule short and sweet, say 10 minutes three times a day. Long repetitive lessons can be boring and puppies will lose interest in learning. Make learning fun and use training tricks to teach commands like sit, down, come and so on.

Bonding

9.) Bond with the puppy and both of you will enjoy your lessons. Puppies should expect to spend time with you and not avoid you by running away or hiding. Be sure to socialize the puppy early. Socialization is one of the most important lessons. Puppies must learn to be around other animals, humans, sounds, vehicles, and other activities. So, slowly introduce the puppy when they are little to daily activities and sounds. Take them to the mall / park, introduce them to children and other pets, and make them not afraid of the vacuum and the garden hose.

Learn About Training

10.) Learn all about crate training, rope walking, house breaking, as well as food training. These are “kindergarten” lessons that every puppy must master. Know about all the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of their breed. This will give you valuable insights on how to train your puppy successfully.
