Learn How to Train a Puppy the Right Way

Bringing a new pup home is always exciting. Your entire family will love the little puppy, and learning how to train him or her is very important. Training your puppy the right way is the best way to make him that valued member of the family. There are plenty of tricks that a new little doggie can master, including going up and down the stairs, sitting, and accepting a new collar.   

The best time to introduce the new puppy to your household is when everyone is present, and when everything is as calm as possible.  Despite what many people think, giving puppies and kittens as holiday presents isn’t the best idea, since it’s during a time in which there is a lot of excitement going on.  It’s best to wait until after the holidays. 

You can begin puppy obedience training shortly after introducing him/her to the family.  If you live in a multi-story home, the first thing you need to teach your doggie is how to walk up and down the stairs.  Many of them are afraid of stairs, and thus don’t know how to climb them properly.  It’s important for you to start at the bottom of the stairs and go up one step at a time. 

To build confidence, you need to go up the first step, then encourage your little puppy to join you.  Make sure the tone of your voice is calm, yet firm, and give the dog a treat after he takes the first step.  Build his confidence up slowly, and don’t rush the process.  Taking one step at a time is the best thing you can do when teaching with these puppy training techniques.  

Another thing your new doggie should learn is how to accept its collar.  Learning to get used to a collar is important for every dog to learn, although many puppies can be baffled and bewildered by the placement of this equipment.  Many pups constantly try to remove their collar by pulling and pawing at it. 

Fit is extremely important.  You need to make sure that the collar is properly fitted on your puppy by choosing one that is the right size. Puppies need to feel comfortable with their collars, so don’t put it on too tight.  Also, the collar should have an ID tag attached.

Training a puppy on wearing a collar isn’t too hard. You simply place the collar on her and then allow her to paw it at and squirm all she wants.  Don’t try to soothe the pup, or you’ll only encourage her behaviour.  The best thing you can do is to ignore the puppy.  Whatever you do, don’t punish or reprimand her. 

You can also try to distract your doggie from her collar with food, toys, and playing.  Doing all these positive things in her collar will help her to get used to it.  After a couple of days, most pups won’t even know they’re wearing a collar!  Just remember to keep things simple when training a new puppy.
