Puppy Training Tips

Important puppy training tips and useful advise that I hope you can use, when you start puppy training at home.

Puppies are a joy and more than a handful, but, if you put all of your love and care into raising and training your puppy, it's really not hard at all. All you have to remember is, she's just a baby dog, and she's looking at you for guidance.

You just caught her chewing on your shoe, and you know that she needs to be corrected.

It doesn't help when she looks so innocent like "Kahu" does here, and you feel like, well, maybe I'll wait till she gets a little older. Right? Wrong.

Puppy Training Tip # 1

Start training your puppy from the moment you get her. When those puppy eyes give you that look, stay on track, be gentle, but be firm. The sooner she learns the better, for both your puppy and everyone else in your home, and even away from home.

Get a lot of chew sticks or chew toys, puppies love and need to chew on stuff. This should keep her from chewing up your whole house, your fingers and your toes.

The best puppy training tip that I can give you here, is to introduce these chew sticks or chew toys at an early age. How early? As early as when they begin to get their first teeth.

You come home from shopping, not even gone for an hour, well, maybe just a little longer than that, so you go into your house and ask everyone who fed the puppy. All three say, "I did."

Puppy Training Tip # 2

Make a schedule, set a routine, and stick to it. Your puppy will soon get used to it, making puppy training easier for everyone, including puppy. This includes feeding times.

Get the whole family involved, everyone must be on the same page, on the same path, so puppy doesn't get confused and overfed or underfed for that matter.

It's time for everyone to go to sleep, and you're thinking about having your puppy sleep with you in your bed, after all she is just a puppy.

That's entirely up to you, but, I hope that when you go into a deep sleep and start dreaming, that your puppy doesn't get up and decides to pee at the other end of the your bed, or worst yet, fall off.

Puppy Training Tip # 3

Teach your puppy the house rules, show her where to sleep, where to eat, get a drink of water, and most important, where to poop and pee.

Get her a puppy crate or pet bed to sleep in, this will be her place where she can get some peaceful, stress-free solitude.

When she gets a little older, you may want to get something that is larger that she can call her very own.

Why not give her what she deserves, her own bed or sofa. She will just love it and you will too. Here is a site that goes beyond pampering.........
