Puppy Instruction: Housebreaking is a matter of you keeping track of your dog around the house and looking for hints they may need to go out and potty.
-Unless you are crate training your puppy, they will most likely be allowed to ramble around the house. Now I'm not suggesting you should follow your puppy around all day, just be sure you know where they are, and keep track of how long it's been since they've eaten, or had drink of water, and how long ago it was you took them outside.
- Establish a schedule for taking the puppy out until it learns to let you know, in someway that they need to go outdoors. This will eventually happen, even in the most hell bent of breeds.
Puppy Training: HELP!! My Puppy is BITING EVERYTHING!!
-This is actually extremely simple to fix. Go to your local pet supply store or walmart, kmart, or wherever and buy your puppy a chew toy. A chew toy that makes some type of noise when bitten is best for puppy training.
-The best way to let your puppy know that they are not supposed to chew on anything except their new toy would be to either, catch them in the act, firmly tell them "no", and give them their toy to chew on. The other way to train your puppy would be to sit with them in the floor and put something in front of them that they have been caught previously chewing on, along with their new toy. When they begin to chew on the item they were previously chewing on, firmly tell them "no", take that item away, and give them the toy. Repeat this process several times and you will almost immediately begin to see results. Eventually, they won't even think about chewing on anything but their toy.
Puppy Training: Leash Training
-One of the first things to remember about walking your puppy should be common sense to most people, be sure to choose the specific size collar for your puppy's weight.
-These days, retractable leashes are a great tool for puppy training. Using a retractable leash will allow you to control where you want your puppy to walk when you eventually are able to walk them without the leash. Just be sure when you are doing your puppy training you remember not to pull to hard on the leash. Take your time when training your puppy and realize it's a process over time that makes your puppy training a success.
Puppy Training: An Aggressive Puppy is a Happy Puppy, WHAT ABOUT ME?!
- If your puppy is too energetic, don't worry, this is a very fixable problem with a simple training method I picked up years ago when I was just starting my career. First, stop playing aggressively with your puppy quickly. The, next time your puppy begins to become aggressive, turn your back on them, and reward them when they become calm again.
- Jumping up on visitors or even other members of the family is an awkward aspect of life when raising your puppy. This is one of those abrasive manners I mentioned above. So simply keep repeating those steps, and your puppy will begin to understand how you want them to behave in every situation.
These 4 puppy training approaches are simple enough, yes, but if you do not routinely engage these methods with your puppy, you will never have a puppy that grows up to be the model dog you will enjoy. A dog that listens when you talk, that will stay beside you when you take them for a walk, and respect you as their pack leader. Dogs are pack animals and they will only obey you if they see you as their pack leader, and by following the steps above your puppy will soon grow to accept you as their pack leader.
