How To Train Your Puppy

The first and most important thing you should do if you own a puppy is to learn how to train your puppy. For some people, it might be their second or third or maybe even fourth puppy and they have previous experience with training their puppies, but for others this may be their first puppy and without any prior experience they are clueless on how to train their puppy.

Commonly when people first get a puppy they like to find a guide, or a book of some sort that teaches ‘how to train your puppy’ so that they can follow the step by step guides in order to give their puppy the best start to life.

When learning how to train your puppy you need to be very patient and persistent, and sometimes it can get a little frustrating at first. Puppies do not know the difference between right and wrong, if they feel they need to relieve themselves, they will, even if it’s on your beloved carpet or on your pile of magazine collection.

I strongly recommend that when training your puppy you set out a timetable of the times the puppy should sleep and wake up, have its meals, etc. You should keep in mind that, usually after waking up from sleep, eating, or having a play session, puppies tend to need to pee or poop, so after any of these sessions you should take the puppy outside, always to the same spot for your puppy to relieve itself. You should show your puppy that you are very happy each time they have eliminated in the same spot outside that you have selected by praising them or giving them a treat, this will teach the puppy that each time it does something that pleases you, he or she will be rewarded and will continue to do the same thing next time. This doesn’t happen overnight though and may take several weeks if not longer to get a puppy to understand the right place it should go to eliminate.

When you learn how to train your puppy you should also know that there are times when the puppy will not be able to hold in the need to relieve itself and will just let it out inside your house and you definitely should not frighten the puppy by yelling at it or rubbing its face in the waste, this will only make things worse as the puppy will be frightened of you and next time will try to hide from you and relieve itself which could mean it would be hard for you to find where the puppy eliminated. The correct procedure if you caught your puppy in the act would be to take the puppy outside to the designated area and let it finish off there, once it has finished off you should praise your puppy and show that you are pleased. If the puppy does not need to go anymore and pees or poops on the way outside then it is too late and all you can do is clean up the mess and get rid of the smell with some sort of deodorizer.

If you have just got a new puppy and are unsure of where to start and what to do, then things can get a little confusing, what I recommend is, instead of spending hours and hours researching on how to train your puppy and reading through tons of different books from the library is to find yourself a dog training guide that is proven to be successful and is easy to follow and implement with step by step guides as this will give you the precise and exact to the point information you need without you having to do any further research or guess work.
