When is it best to start puppy training

In Home Dog Training Melbourne


When is the right time to start training a puppy? Puppies seem to mature at different rates making it hard for many people to know when the most useful time is to start a training regimen. House training, or potty training, should begin as new puppy into your home. Keeping this positive and anticipating when your puppy needs to relieve itself. Praising highly when he goes where you want him to. I always tell people to avoid the word “No” with their new puppies for the first week to ten days that it comes home. Just spoil and pamper a new puppy focusing on bonding before anything else. Most people think they should just let a puppy cry, they believe if they go to a cry puppy it will make it a cry baby dog. This is not true that first week. Again bonding with you is the most important first step.

Crate training, keeping the puppy in a small area or crate, can be a very helpful tool in the house/toilet training procedure. Dog were den dwellers in the wild. Their denning instinct tells them not to relieve themselves where they sleep. If you keep your puppy in a crate at sleeping time he will learn to hold it until you let him out. First thing in the morning, or when he demands to go out, take him to where you want him to go and praise highly when he does. It is also a go time to key him by saying “hurry up, toilet, or do potty” anything you want him to associate with going so later you can ask him to go.  

After your puppy has settled into his new home, you can start teaching basic commands and work on socialization. The more friendly experiences we can set up with him the better for socializing. And it is best not to repeat commands from the very beginning. All commands should be given once and in your normal speaking voice. Never repeat and never yell. Never ever hit, not with anything ever, for any reason. 

Get him used to a lead. Just let him drag it around at first or lead him to his food. Many dogs don’t like the lead at first, they want to fight it. If you take it off because he fights it, he will fight it to get you to take it off. Put it on and off a lot, at play times, meal times, or just for fun. Do not make him feel restricted by it. Never leave it on if you are not going to be right with him.
