Begin your puppy training sessions as soon as your little puppy arrives at your home. It's truly is never too early. Set your pet up to succeed, concentrate on developing desirable habits. Put your new friend on the the case path from the start, rather than trying to correct established issue behaviors later on. Keep your training sessions short, consistent and be certain to have fun with your new puppy.
The key to shaping your puppy's behavior can be begin out with very simple commands, continue to develop on these successes and apply heaps of repetition. Base your training sessions around trust and mutual respect rather than old school methods based on punishment, avoidance and harsh corrections. In this environment you will find that your puppy loves his training sessions and his confidence will grow. He or she will improve with each and just about every session. Be certain to keep in mind that you are dealing with a rather immature young animal, so be realistic, flexible, patient and be certain to be fair during the training sessions.
