Bringing home a new puppy is always an exciting time for the entire family and new puppy training is a big part of that.

Lets dive right in.

The Importance of New Puppy Training

Getting that new puppy off to the right start with proper training is very important to making that puppy a valued member of their human family.

New Habits

There are a number of habits that every new puppy must master. They include going up and down the stairs, and how to accept a new collar. As if they have worn it their entire life.

Introduction to The Family

It is best to introduce a new puppy to the household when everyone in the family is present. Especially when the household is as calm as possible.

That is why animal care experts discourage parents from giving puppies and kittens as holiday presents.

The holiday season is typically much too busy. There are far too many distractions, for a young puppy or kitten to get the attention it needs.

It is best to wait until the holidays have passed before introducing the new family member.

Time to Learn New Puppy Training

Once the puppy is part of the household, there are some things he or she will need to learn.

Climbing Stairs

One of the first challenges of new puppy training in a multi-story home will be learning to climb up and down the stairs.

Many puppies are afraid of stairs, and that usually means that they do not know how to climb them properly.

It is important for the puppy’s owner to slowly build the confidence of the dog, starting off at the bottom of the stairs.

In general, a wide stairway will probably be less frightening to the puppy.

Building Confidence in New Puppy Training

To build confidence, the owner should go up the first step, then encourage the puppy to join them, using their voice, treats or a toy.

After the puppy has joined you on the first stair, go back down and repeat the process until the puppy will go up that step on their own.

In new puppy training it is important to build confidence slowly and not rush the process.

Taking a one step at a time approach is the best way to teach the puppy to not be afraid of stairs.

Excepting a Collar

Another thing every new puppy must learn is how to accept wearing a collar.

Learning to wear a collar is important for every dog, but many puppies are baffled, frightened and bewildered by this new piece of equipment.

Many puppies constantly try to remove their new collar by pawing and pulling at it.

Fit is Important

Fit is important when choosing a collar for your new puppy. A properly fitted collar, chosen for your puppy’s size, is more likely to be comfortable and accepted.

No Substitute

While choke collars, slip collars and training collars can be good training aids, they should never be used as a substitute for a sturdy buckle type collar in new puppy training.

Identification

And of course that collar should have an identification tag and license attached. This identification will be vital in having your puppy returned if they become separated from you.

The Introduction

The best way to introduce the puppy to the collar is to simply put the collar on and allow them to squirm, jump, roll and paw at the collar to their heart’s content.

When new puppy training it is important to not encourage this behavior by trying to soothe the puppy.

However, it is just as important not to punish or reprimand the puppy.

The Best Strategy in New Puppy Training

The best strategy is to simply ignore the puppy and let them work through their issues with the collar on their own.

Introducing distractions, such as food, toys or playing, is a good way to get the puppy used to the collar.

Getting the puppy to play, eat and drink while wearing the collar is a great way to get them used to it.

Not Even Know

After a few days of new puppy training, most puppies will not even know they are wearing a collar.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
