Four Tips to Train Puppy


You can only avoid the issues relating to a dogs' behavior, if you can resolve to go for an already trained dog. But how will you cope with a dog that you are not familiar with? I guess you might have to face some challenges on how to bring the dog home and how make him stay. Because who trains a dog and the environment the dog is trained, plays a big roll when it comes to where the dog will naturally like to stay.

We all know that puppies are not born trained. They are most likely taken from their siblings and the environment they are used to, into a new place that will probably be strange to them. Being completely away from their comfort zone, where they were born, they will first be confused to find themselves in a different environment, they will also be lonely and reluctant to respond to any interaction with you.

Most dog owners become bewildered at this point, forgetting that sooner they could win over the dog and make them their best friend. In training a puppy, the following are the things you should expect at the beginning:
  1. They will be frightened at every little thing, and this may lead to low receptive to learning.
  2. Dog peeing in the house could be inevitable.
  3. Unnecessary barking that may cause disturbance in the compound.
  4. Illness due to a change of environment and a change in diet.

You will be so amazed with the level of success you can achieve, when you properly apply this four tips that I am about to share with you now, which in essence will enable you become a coach to other dog owners.

Firstly: You must exercise patience with him. This is a puppy that is new to an environment, and still confused with the whole new process and changes, any action you take to be harsh on him can only result to getting the little puppy scared the more, and will make it almost impossible for you to relate with him, because you make him feel insecure. Being very patience with him will help to make him feel at home and thereby begin to learn fast.

Secondly: You must take out time to build his confidence in you. You may be a kind of person that does not tolerate nonsense. I put it to you, that as long as you keep a hostile attitude toward a puppy, you will delay the level of progress you can make on the things you expect the puppy to learn from you. Avoid being upset with the puppy' bad habits at the moment; instead give him sometimes to improve.

Thirdly: Ensure that you take him to a veterinarian for check up. Your puppy' good health should be a primary issue to you, especially at the early stage, to make sure that your puppy is not carrying any kind of disease in his body, due to the change of environment and a change in diet. And also to eliminate any form of existing health problems that may be present in the dogs' body. Some dogs do experience some form of diarrhea when they undergo process of sudden change in their usual diet habit.

Finally: Learn what diet to give to your puppy at various stages of his life. You must understand that top quality commercial canned dog food that is highly enriched with proteins and mineral to supply nutrient, and build a strong bone to keep your puppy healthy and fast in learning, is a fundamental to keep you on your way to success in your dog training endeavor.
