Puppy Dog Training Tips

By Josh Cornwall

After getting a new puppy, puppy dog training is a very important thing to do early before the puppy matures into a dog. If you have a dog kennel, feed the puppy in the kennel and after the pup is finished eating, carry it straight outside. If you do not have a kennel, set up a closed off area and cover the area with newspaper. Setting the puppy on the grass straight from the kennel or closed off area will help the puppy know the feeling of grass under its feet, and relate this to where it goes potty.

Puppy dog training at first can be difficult if you have not done it before. It is important that only one family member trains the dog in the beginning. Use the same commands so that the puppy knows exactly what you are telling them. Largest mistake new dog owners make is having multiple people try to train the dog, and constantly using different commands for the same action. This only causes confusion for the puppy and will make training a very difficult venture.

Once a week goes by from puppy dog training, the puppy will start to show considerable obedience change. The key to making the puppy a sharp listener is staying consistent with the training. Be sure to take the new pup outside every couple hours and allow it to run in the grass and go to the washroom. If the pup is not going, walk around with it and get it moving. Doing this will make the puppy have to go to the washroom faster.

Using newspaper for puppy dog training has always worked for me. If you continually bring the newspaper patch closer to the door, the puppy will eventually figure out that outside is the place to go. When the pup does go potty outside, be sure to praise and show that you are happy with them going outside. This will connect a positive feeling with them and they will continue to want that.

Puppy dog training will be soon over if you are consistent and the puppy will be obedient. Treats are always a great thing to use in training as well. Giving the doggy a treat after a good action will make it set into their brain. There is much more to puppy dog training and at least you will be off to a good start to making the new puppy an obedient one.
