A Guide To Puppy Training
If you have recently bought a new puppy you are probably recognising early on the importance of behavioural training.
You could book yourself and your pup onto a dog training course, or alternatively you can try training the dog at home with some store bought toys and reading material.If you choose to teach your dog at home you may be unsure of what to do first, so your starting reference point should be a training manual.
Specialist guides are also widely available and perhaps the most popular is on the subject of toilet training.It can be very distressing if your puppy continuously uses your floor as a toilet, so this is one of the first behaviour traits you will need to correct.If you have a young family at home it is a good idea to get your children involved with the training, so the puppy gets used to all members of the household.
Obedience training is another major part of your puppy’s training programme, so he understands how to behave both inside the home and outside on a lead.You may be astounded to see the variety of dog leads and leashes on sale and may be confused by all the choice.A retractable dog lead is a great idea for training your puppy good behaviour whilst out and about. You can keep the lead tight so the dog is by yourside, perfect for busy footpaths or close to roads. Alternatively you can let your dog run a little freeer by lengthening the leash.
Poor quality food can have a negative impact on your puppy’s behaviour, so consider the question of pet food closely.Try and feed your puppy a good quality puppy food as this will provide all the right vitamins and minerals required in this early stage of life.Remember that food can be used as a great incentive in the training process, so keep treats to a minimum and ideally give them as a reward for good behaviour.Make sure that you only ever feed your puppy quality, healthy foods. His little life is in your hands, and what you feed to him has a direct impact on his growth and health in later life.
