Congratulations on getting a brand new puppy! Be prepared for a fun but frustrating time. Some moments you'll be smiling at him thinking how cute he is, and the next moment, you'll want to scream at him for destroying things in the house. So, start training him as soon as possible! Puppies learn from a very early age, so the more time you put in now, the more you'll have later to smile!
Even though it is crucial to train your puppy quickly, you still must be patient. Let's face reality. This is something different for the puppy to deal with. You are going to have to give him some time. He is not going to learn everything the first day when he comes to his new house.
The beginning part of the puppy training should be focused on boundaries. What can the puppy do? Where can it go? All these things have to be answered. The best way is just to simply keep an eye on him. Watch and see where he goes when he is in the house. If he walks into closet, be prepared to say "NO". The dog will soon get a sense by your tone, and where he is in the house, as to where he can go, and where he cannot.
Be sure to put a leash on your dog and take him outside often. Not only is it good for the dog to get some fresh air and exercise, but it'll teach him to do his business outdoors. Just make sure to give him a little treat after he does so he'll learn that he should always wait till he goes outside.
One of the most annoying situations for people with new dogs is when their dogs won't quit barking. You desire for it to be peaceful and to have silence, but the dog feels otherwise, right? But, it is not as though the dog barks for the reason of making you mad. You have to begin to notice the dog's barking habits.
Make an attempt to be more aware. What is the reason for it? Is this a situation that is very noticeable that makes him bark or is this an indirect cause? Many times a dog will bark when he is in a strange situation. Dogs normally guard their territory and they will bark at people, like they are letting them know "stay away from my personal space".
The real key to get your dog to stop barking is to simply be prepared. Know what's the cause of it and act upon it before he starts barking. For instance, if the dog barks at the mailman, be prepared for it. You should have some idea of when your mailman delivers the mail everyday. Around that time, put a leash on your dog. When you start to see the mail car give a little tug on the leash, before he even gets a chance to bark. It's a nice jolt to the system.
A great tool for outdoor training is a water gun. When you see a situation that would set your dog barking, squirt him before he starts. This will build an association with the barking and being squirt. To fully drive the message home, be sure to give positive feedback in the form of treats or other rewards when your dog remains quiet in these situations without having to be squirt. - 20511
