Training Your New Puppy
Early
Training a young
puppy is not as hard as you may think ..
A new puppy
in the home excites everyone especially children but
make sure you got the puppy for a good reason and
not just on a spur of the moment feeling. Like they
say dogs are for life not just for Christmas. A puppy
can bring lots of happy memories and times but they
have a lot of training and work involved to, they
are not all fun and no work!

A puppy’s temperament depends on where the puppy
has been brought up and what type of breed he is. German
shepherds, Rottweilers, bull dogs and boxers are all guard
type dogs so tend to be very loving and protective. Border
and bearded collies tend to be herding dogs and reared on
farms and tend to be quite enthusiastic and never sit still
(be aware because they are reared on a farm they may be
a little bit nervous around modern day technologies, such
as bridges, loud noises etc). Labradors, gun dogs and pointer
are all hunting dogs so expect them to be full of energy
and laughable moments. Of course these are just general
expectations every dog has its day…and its personality!
Puppy dog training is something that can be achieved in
a matter of weeks depending how much time and attention
you spend on it. You don’t need to train for hours
and hours a day, a few minutes several times a day is all
it takes. The first thing you need to train your new puppy
in is obedience, commands like sit, come, heel, stay and
fetch are basic enough for them to learn. As they get older
you can incorporate commands like paw, roll over and play
dead! Training a young puppy is not as hard as you may think
as they are like a blank sheet of paper waiting to be written
on. The way and things that that they are taught will stick
to them and will influence them later on in life, although
training isn’t forever so you need spend a few minutes
every day just to keep reminding them what to do.
There are not so nice consequences involved when puppies
aren’t trained, for a start your house will constantly
be a toiler ground for them and your furniture will have
massive holes in it. Puppies are like babies and need to
be taught the difference between right and wrong, to do
this you need some puppy
dog training!
Many handlers experienced or in-experienced are turning
towards training products and aids but training can be done
without these methods. Just a bit of good old hard work!
A puppy
may take several months to training but when it is complete
the rewards will be well worth it, but don’t forget
to top up on your training for several minutes each day
or your dog will slowly forget and you’ll have to start
all over again, with an even bigger task, training an older
dog!
