Puppy training tips that work

Good puppy training tips are worth their weight in gold, and if they`re free it`s even better right? 

Well if you`ve just added a new puppy to your family then you`re about to find out just how important it is to train little Fido properly.

So, you`ll find tons of practical advice on this page that will make the training process a whole lot easier!

One thing to remember though is that it`s not just the actual dog training commands that you need to know if you`re going to be successful.

YOUR approach, attitude and expectations play a huge role in how effective you`re going to be as a teacher.

So, let`s take a look at some practical puppy training advice that will get your pup`s lessons started off on the right foot (and.. paw) and make life easier on everyone!

Six Of The Best!

Here are 6 of the best puppy training tips.

Your pup takes his cue from you, so if you get these right, he will enjoy his lessons and be eager to learn everything you have to teach him.

Puppy obedience training should start just as soon as you bring Fido or Fifi home, usually at around 8 weeks of age.

Beginwith simple dog obedience commands like name recognition, and `Sit`.

Ayoung puppy is like a little sponge, just soaking things up - make sureyou begin puppy obedience training right away so that he starts off on the right paw.

One of the most important puppy training tips is to keep yourtraining sessions short.

A three to five minute session is enough for aneight week old puppy, and you can gradually increase this time as yourpuppys` attention span increases.

Several short sessions (3 to 5 perday) is much better than one 20 minute marathon!

I strongly recommend enrolling your puppy in a Puppy Class at a dog obedience school just as soon as he`s had all his puppy shots.

Puppies (and dogs) respond much better to positive reinforcement thanthey do to punitive, correction-based dog training methods.

So, uselots of praise, treats, and even play, to show Fido what a good boy heis.

If he enjoys his training sessions rather than dreading them, both you and he will be more successful and happier.

Here`s one of those free puppy training tips that will help you setthe tone for your future relationship with your new puppy.....  it takes lotsof love, patience and good humor to successfully train a puppy.

Ifyou get angry or stressed out, Fido will sense it and play up (justlike your toddler at the grocery store check out line!), so stop thesession before that happens.

Always end lessons on a positive note, withsomething Fido can do well, that way he has good memories of histraining.

Also, never start a training session if you`re in a bad mood.

Another hugely important tip is to remember that your puppy is just a baby!

Your pup wasn`t born knowing that he needs to `do his business`outside, or what his name is going to be.

A human baby takes many months to learn to walk and talk, and toilet training takes years.

It`s the same principle when you`re training your puppy- your little one will learn to pee and poop outside, when and how to `sit`, andwhat not to chew on etc. etc. but it won`t be overnight, or even in a week or two.

It will take time and patience on yourpart, and a lot of practice. 

Understanding your pup`s body language and how he grows and develops will really help you to manage your expectations and tailor your approach to fit his age, needs and personality.
