How To Train Your Puppy Safely And Effectively

Once you buy or adopt a puppy, you should immediately start on giving it the proper and safest possible training at home

. Maintaining a puppy and training it at home doesn't have to be a headache - in fact, it can be done mainly if you focus on rewarding it for a job well done, rather than punishing it for undesired behaviors before your puppy has a chance to do things the right way.

If you focus only on teaching your puppy what not to do, you may be on the wrong track. Every puppy needs a chance to learn on its own, to develop a sense of right and wrong through positive reinforcement.

The word "No" or a shouted "NOOOOO!" is a no-no when it comes to training your puppy to perform proper behaviors. Puppies respond better if you repeat the exercise or go back to a step he or she missed. Until your dog can properly perform the behavior, you'll want to stick to giving rewards for partial credits.

Here's one classic situation. You find that your expensive shoes have been chewed up by your puppy. Most dog owners would panic and yell "Nooooo!", but this is a pitfall that would lead to this consequence.

The first possibility is that your dog would cower in panic and realize that developing permanent teeth shouldn't be done in your presence. Your dog would then refuse to upset you openly, and will stick to chewing on things while you're gone. Take note that your dog didn't mean anything wrong - it was just following its best judgment.

Nobody wants doggy business all over the living room, so crate training is a nice way to take care of two things - training your dog to go outside if he or she needs to eliminate waste, as well as ensuring a safe training process in general. The more your puppy goes outside to relieve himself or herself, and the more you reward this good deed, the more your puppy would understand where he or she should do its business.

This is a form of puppy training that is built on repeated success rather than making your pet fear your very presence. You are not ruling by fear, but rather building your dog's confidence and understanding of what's right.

To summarize, using positive reinforcement and other positive forms of house training could help your dog develop good behavior and a good personality as well. Once your puppy reaches its first year, it would greatly benefit from this healthy form of communication, and should be a reliable companion for you once it finally matures.
