My Dog Training Secrets 

Starting a puppy out learning to follow commands helps to build a strong working bond between owner and puppy. A calm dog is thinking dog, the more you can teach it the better it will be for them and you! You can start by enrolling your puppy in a class to get him socialized with other dogs early while learning basic obedience. From there you can go to graduate classes for more advanced dog training if necessary.

Puppies learn by watching, but their instincts guide how readily they will learn certain basic requirements. A dog bred to guard the home will be less likely to run off following a scent than a bird dog bred to hunt game.

Puppies often exhibit behavior like babies. Puppies chew/play bite for many reasons. The most common one is that they cutting new teeth. By giving them something safe to chew on may reduce the bite marks found on other things throughout the house or your fingers. Pet stores also have many remedies for biting like organic spray that doesn’t hurt surfaces but tastes bitter to the puppies, so they will stop biting that object.

Puppies that are suffering from separation anxiety have a tendency to chew destructively, soil the house, bark excessively, or act out in other ways that are destructive. The conduct that your dog demonstrates as they’re left behind is merely the method the puppy uses to handle their anxiousness. Giving them a comfortable, familiar place to be while you are gone from them will reduce their anxiety. Crates are a great place for them to stay. You can put an old washable T-shirt or blanket in the crate for them so they will have your scent with them while you are gone.

There are many puppy behaviors to know and correct and learning how to curb and stop these puppy behaviors is a vital part of making your dog a welcomed family pet.
