Basic Dog Training

The basic tips for training your dog and how to do them.

There are many ways to train dogs, and I will show you some of them.

  • First Tip is that you should always give your dogs treats after they have accomplished your task, to let them know that they had done it right
  • You should always do obedience training for your dog, to establish a foundation from which you and your dog can learn to effectively relate to one another
  • The obedience trained dog can respond properly to your commands, instead of neurotically trying to please and becoming ever more anxious with your displeasure
  • You should also show the dog who's boss. If you're doing something, and he barks or growls at you, let him know who's boss, by saying “NO!” to the dog.
  • It is always better to train a dog when he is a pup and not full grown
  • Whenever you go out on a walk, you should always put your dog on a leash, for the safety of your dog, and for the safety of people around you

When you get your pup, it is always exiting, and you should give it a name, but first, you should determine it's gender. When you start to train your pup, it isn't always fun and games. It is sometimes hard work. When training young puppies you should always use encouragement, praise, and rewards, to let the dog know he is doing the right thing. You should start training your pup as soon as you can (a day or two after he arrives).

When training your puppy, you should keep the sessions short, but constant. They should also be fair and realistic. Here are the steps for training your puppies:

  1. House Training Your Pup

    You must potty train your pup, or you will have many difficulties because your pup will have little accidents all over the house. And you sure don't want that to happen, if you know what I mean.
  2. Getting your Puppy Housebroken

    You should always get your puppy used to a litter box.
  3. Puppy Socialization

    Puppy socializing is when you make a close bond with your pup. You may want to consider puppy training classes.
  4. Stop Barking that is Excessive

    This is when a puppy barks when he is not supposed to, and this can be stopped by following these steps.
  5. Stop Puppy Mouthing/Biting

    This is a perfectly normal stage for your puppy. To stop this, you should encourage good behavior, and discourage unacceptable behavior.
  6. Puppy Leash Training

    You should always train your puppy to walk nicely on a leash, for obvious safety reasons.
  7. Food for Your Dog

    The food for a dog should be nutritiously balanced and wholesome. There should always be the proper portion in the food bowl.
  8. Choosing a Dog Training School

    Your puppy's first school should be puppy kindergarten or obedience training school.
