Obedience Training For Dogs

Where To Begin With Your Puppy Obedience Training Part One

Puppy obedience training can be both fun and rewarding for you and your new dog and you don’t need to be a professional dog trainer to be able to teach your puppy how to behave. You also don’t need to go to any dog obedience schools where you don’t always get the full attention of the instructor and which can also get expensive. All you need is patience, commitment and a little knowledge of puppy behavior.

It’s best to start obedience training right from the minute you arrive home with your new companion as you want to begin housebreaking to make sure he learns respect for your home, this will involve getting him into a routine of following your house rules. You don’t want them turning into a little tearaway who thinks that they’re in charge of you however you do need to let them have a chance to get used to their new home. Training will help lead to a happier life for both you and your dog.

For the first three months of your puppies life he will be developing his own personality and their social behavior can be affected which is why it is vital to give your new addition to your home the right puppy obedience training as early as possible.

It’s also easier to train a puppy as they are looking for guidance and leadership and you’re the best person to establish boundaries, some people like to use crates for this. Puppy crate training and crate training dogs is a topic I’ll cover in another section.

This won’t all happen over night and it can take time as his attention span is very short and your puppy can only pay attention to you for a small amounts of time, also every dog is different, like us humans, so don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t go to plan or start to work right away. Try training your puppy for short stints of time like 20 – 30 minutes at a time.

And remember puppy obedience training should also be continued right through to your puppies adult life to help ensure they become and stay a properly behaved pet.
