Training your puppy is very important whether you are training your first puppy or your 20th. Properly socializing a puppy is also vital to making it a valued member of your family and your community.

Let’s dive right in.

How to begin Training Your Puppy

In some ways a puppy is easier to train than an adult or adolescent dog.

One reason is that the puppy is essentially a “blank slate” untroubled by past training techniques and other issues.

In other ways, however, the puppy can be more difficult to train than an older dog.

Distractions when Training Your Puppy

One challenge to training your puppy is that puppies are more easily distracted than adolescent and adult dogs.

Everything is new to a puppy and every new experience provides a new chance for distraction.

For this reason it is best to keep training sessions short when working with a puppy and to end each training session on a positive note.

Play Time in between Training Your Puppy

It is also important to allow the puppy plenty of time to play and to interact with other puppies and dogs in between training your puppy.

Socialization training is vital to making your new puppy a good canine citizen as dog aggression is a growing problem in many areas.

Socialization

A properly socialized dog learns how to play properly with other dogs and overly aggressive play is punished by the other dogs in the play group.

This type of play learning is something that happens among siblings in litters of puppies. As the puppies play with each other they learn what is appropriate and what is not.

Inappropriate behavior, such as hard biting or scratching, is punished by the other puppies, by the mother dog or both.

Unfortunately many puppies are removed from their mothers and sold or adopted before this socialization has fully occurred.

Important

Therefore, puppy play sessions are a very important part of any puppy learning session.

Most good puppy preschool programs provide time in each session for this type of dog interaction.

Experiences and Locations

Introducing your puppy to new experiences and new locations is also an important part of training your puppy.

Teaching your dog to be obedient and responsive, even in the face of many distractions, is very important when training dogs and puppies.

One great way to socialize your puppy, both to new people and new dogs, is to take it on a trip to your local pet store.

Many major pet store chains and some independent ones as well allow pet parents to bring their furry children.

New Things

These stores can be great places for puppies to get used to new sights, sounds and smells.

Of course you will want to make sure the store allows pets before heading over.

Rewarding

When training your puppy, it is important for puppy owners to structure their pet’s environment so that the puppy is rewarded for good behaviors and not rewarded for others.

One good example of this is jumping on people. Many people inadvertently reward this behavior because it can be cute.

While it is true that jumping can be cute for a 10 pound puppy it will not be so cute when that puppy has grown into a 100 pound dog.

Instead of rewarding the puppy for jumping try rewarding it for sitting instead.

Well Behaved

This type of positive reinforcement will result in a well behaved adult dog that is a valued member of both the family and the community at large.

This type of reinforcement can also be used in potty training your puppy. For instance, teaching a puppy to use a unique surface such as gravel or asphalt is a good technique.

Theory

The theory is that the puppy will associate this surface with going potty and therefore be reluctant to use other surfaces (like your kitchen floor for instance) as a potty.

Stay tuned for more tips on training your puppy.

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.
