Top Five Labrador Puppy Training Tips
Congratulations!!! You’ve made a smart decision for picking a Labrador as a new member in your family. Labrador puppy training is not hard as some people may think. Mainly because labs are very intelligent which makes it much easier to train than your average breed of dogs?
It’s very important to train your Labrador when he’s just a puppy. Remember your puppy does not know anything; everything your puppy learns will come from you. My Labrador was only 8 weeks when I got him and honestly I did not know what to do.
A majority of what I learned came from experience. To help put your training on a fast track I provided some very helpful tips based on my own personal experience.
Tip #1
Labradors need exercising on a daily basis, but not so much when they’re just puppies. This is a very important tip you should know during the beginning stages of your Labrador puppy training, mainly because their bones and joints are not fully developed and over exercising them can cause several problems down the road such as arthritis.
Tip #2
Training your puppy with a leash is very important in the beginning stages. Labs grow rather quickly and become harder to control so waiting until your pup is fully matured is not the brightest thing to do, in fact it would be even harder.
Tip #3
Labradors can be very stubborn at times when it comes to learning in the beginning stages. The best way to avoid having to deal with this situation is by training him in a way that he may like. It is very important that you consider your puppy’s choice especially during the early stages of training Labrador.
Tip #4
Always reward your puppy’s good behavior. Doing this will let him know that he did something right. Labradors love to eat and they will do just about anything to please you to get more food.
Tip #5
Never resort to hitting your puppy. Understand that Labrador puppy training takes some time and patience before your puppy is fully trained. Hitting your puppy will only scare and confuse him. Labradors are very outgoing and requires lots of attention.

14 week Pom puppy training tips? I’m trying to teach her to “come” and I need some ideas…?
We have a 16 week standard poodle and my husband got me a 14 wk pomeranian as a gift and I am trying to train her but am having a hard time. I know it’s probably not the best idea to have 2 puppies (of different breed) at once but we want to make this work. We both try to individually train the puppies in different rooms but our Pom puppy doesn’t seem to catch on. I’ve read that they are supposed to be smart puppies but she is so slow to learning. Do you have any ideas, experience or tips? Any help would be great, serious answers only thank you!

How To Train The Boxer Puppy – Boxer Puppy Training – Tips And Advice For Beginners
I am sure this thought has crossed your mind – Hey, I wish I knew exactly how to train our boxer (dog or puppy). Maybe that is what led you to this article. Just to give you a little background on Boxer dogs – This dog was first bred as a German guard and working dog. Boxer dogs could even still maintain those abilities nowadays in small percentages. In addition, as strong a s the look, Boxer dogs are not fighting dogs at all.
Here are some dog training tips that can go a long way, on how to train the Boxer breed whether dog or puppy.
A) Make sure to pick your boxer puppy from a responsible breeder that knows the “Boxer” breed and loves dogs and not just the money. This goes for any dog breed. Once acquired, start training the Boxer puppy as early as possible. Boxers, being known for their sharp intelligence, are a breed that can start training as soon as two months old.
B) Socialize your puppy as early as possible. Boxers are known for their terrific attitude and playfulness. Boxer dogs are typically great with people in general. Boxers and their high energy levels require a lot of exercise and attention.
C) When training a Boxer Dog or training any dog always remember you are the pack leader, not them. If you do not practice a calm assertive position as the pack leader (instead of yelling and force), your setting the stage for emotional behavior problems in the future. I suggest a downloading Dog Training Guide to hone your Boxer dog training skills, which always prove to be useful.
So just to recap:
>> Find a good breeder
>>Commit Early to Socialization with Other Dogs (and people)
>>Calm Assertive Training Methods
Keep in mind – dog behavior problems are common in Boxers due to their high energy levels mixed with little exercise. High energy can lead to destruction, hyperactivity, and other aggression issues that need the expertise of a trainer or licensed professional.
This dog breed can sometimes have hip problems – due to poor ownership (diet, lack of exercise, etc). There are genetic problems in White boxer dogs such as being prone to hearing problems (small percentage).

Five and a half month old Puppy Training Tips?
My puppy is name Jasmine (Jazzy) born on May 18, 2009. She is a Black Standard poodle, with white on 3 of her paws and her chest.
Here are a few things I need a little help on…
1). Jazzy knows the basis of sit, but sometimes she does not listen. Is this normal? Is there anything to help it?
2). She bites and nips all the time! How can my family and I stop this?
3). Jazzy goes “number one” on her bed and my other dog’s (Riley, Schnoodle mix, 2years old) bed. My mom and I believe it is not her needing to go out, but her feeling the need to mark her territory. How can we stop this?
4). When poor Riley wants to rest, Jazzy will come up and start to bite and bark at her. Is there anyway we can make Jazzy stop bothering Riley?
5). When I take Riley and Jazzy out in our backyard, Jazzy always runs to one of our neighbors yards to visit. We do not have a fence, and we really don’t want an electric one. Is there anyway to stop this, or should I be disciplining her when she does that?
6). Jazzy still has a house training problem. About 5-8 times a week, take or give a few, she goes “number 1 or 2″ in our house. I have been told if we catch her in the act to say “NO!” and put her outside. But what if we don’t catch her? What can my family and I do then?
7). Any tips on the commands Stay, Come, Speak, and Lay Down?
Thanks so much!!!!! I really appreciate you guys even bothering to read this!! If you can answer one of these questions, great! If you can answer all of them, AWESOME!! ☺
