I would like to address ANYONE except Puppy Wiz
Phyloe wrote: I need some suggestions on training my puppy. Anticipate what could likely go wrong, i.e., chewing furniture, pooping inside, spilling the water bowl, digging in the garden, getting underfoot, escaping, getting clawed by the cat or mauled by a dog. Then make whatever modifications are necessary to insure that the problems don't occur. The proper use of a crate will probably be helpful. When the pup does something wrong, keep reminding yourself that you are the one who made the mistake, not the puppy. Choose a positive method of reinforcement and begin training right away, but do take into account the puppy's age and whether or not your expectations are reasonable. Take special care to insure the health of your puppy--proper food, water, and low impact exercise. Don't go jogging with him or encourage him to jump. Keep in mind that you are the pack leader and as such, are expected to protect your pup from harm. Do lots of reading on the subject of training a puppy Actually, your inquiry should read: I need some suggestions on training my puppy's new owner/handler/pack leader. Enjoy! By the way, how old is your puppy and what breed is he? |
