Puppies and dogs are inborn pack animals and most of their conduct reflects that fact. The most notable thing to do when you get a new puppy is to set up your control. You are the "pack leader" and you must always make sure that your puppy knows that.

Puppies will expend a significant amount of time trying to figure out where they fit into the pecking order. They usually do this by trying to create their own authority. Some breeds are more assertive than others, for case, the terrier breeds. Some of the other breeds tend to be more dutiful naturally.

Immediately when your puppy comes home he needs to have his status in the chain of command established. He needs to be discerning that you and all of the individual family members in your home are domineering over him. This is not a matter of punishment but it is something that must occur if he is to become a contented and obedient member of your household.

In order to institute the dominance you must stick to a few easy rules. If not your puppy will be getting mixed signals and it will be more demanding for you to train him and he will be bewildered as to what you really want.

The leader must always eat first. Do not let your puppy eat before you eat. If you are planning on eating about the same time as you plan to feed your puppy, you need to make your puppy wait until you are done. Or you can have your puppy eat at a complete separate time than you eat. In the beginning you may want to call your puppy to you to get his food and make him wait before you give it to him. You can teach him to sit and then give him his food.

Grooming your puppy can send potent signals about who is in charge. At the beginning your puppy may whimper and wail when you touch him for basic grooming however you must take no notice of him and be firm on finishing. Every time follow through on what you start because puppies understand very rapidly if you really mean something or not.

When puppies are little they use their mouths to nip and bite at things. You must stop this behavior at once by giving him a sharp "No" and a tap if required. The leader of the pack never allows nipping and you are the leader of the pack.

It is critical with a new puppy to show him that you are dominant so try to avoid games like "tug'o'war" where he can get forceful and show too much control. Make sure that you reward his good behavior with praise and treats but just pay no heed to his bad behavior as you start obedience training. Keep these easy rules in mind and you can immediately train your puppy to be a good and obedient dog.
