subject: Bringing Your Puppy Home [print this page] Training a new dog can be a very frustrating task. You have to make sure that you take the time to do your research and to find a method of teaching and training your puppy that is going to work for everyone in your home.
First, you have to make sure that you are smart about the type of puppy you are going to buy. There are a lot of different types of dogs that have been domesticated and live within the homes of people all across the world.
You can search for a specific breed or type of dog and almost be completely sure that you will find the dog. There are breeders all over the world that are selling pure bred puppies to the public.
As you are taking the time to find the type of dog that you want you should take your lifestyle into consideration. The better fit that you can make between you and your dog the easier it will be to train them in the long run.
If you have children in the home or if you know you are going to have children in the home you want to make sure your dog can handle being around children. The dog should not be prone to attacking small children.
There are a lot of dogs that are aggressive than other dogs. When you are taking your time to find a dog you want to make sure that you have your priorities set so that the dog you find will fit well in your home.
After you have taken the time to find the dog that you know you are going to want to purchase you should make sure that you are purchasing the puppy from a credible place. There are a lot of people that do not understand how important the breeder is in your choice.
When you are buying a dog you should make sure that you have prepared your house for your dog properly before you leave. There are a lot of people that do not understand just how much work a new puppy can be.
First, you have to make sure that you give yourself enough time each day to make sure your puppy is exercising. Going out each day is a great way to train and get to know your puppy while also keeping him or her healthy.
When you go out on walks you should make sure that you establish your dominance from the beginning. This does not meant that you need to be mean to your puppy but it means that you need to take the time to understand how your puppy thinks.
When your puppy knows that you are the dominant figure he or she will not act up half as much as they would otherwise. You should make sure that you are taking the time to help your puppy understand that you are the boss.
A great way to do this is to turn your puppy onto its back when you are walking and he or she starts to pull on the leash. When you force a puppy to roll over onto its back you are teaching that puppy that he or she needs to be submissive to you.
Eventually, your puppy will grow to be much stronger. When your puppy is young and you are still much stronger than the puppy you want to make sure that you take advantage of this time to train your dog.
If you are just feeling too overwhelmed with your training you can start doing some research. There are a ton of different books and different people that have studied the interaction between humans and dogs for a long time.
Making sure that you understand what has been said on the subject and how you are going to personally teach your puppy is absolutely necessary. If this is still too overwhelming you can always enroll yourself and your puppy up for a class.
When you are in a class you will learn how to walk your puppy and train your puppy to be well behaved in all settings. Some classes can last for a long duration of time making sure that you do not forget the material.
You can have a healthy and happy in your home if you take the time to cultivate that kind of relationship. The more that you know about your dog the better off you will be in the long run.
