Puppies need patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to learn. These five recommendations will help you train your new pet:
1. Start Early
Training your puppy starts the moment you bring them home. Puppies learn like sponges, so starting early makes it easier to teach good habits and prevent bad ones.
2. Good Reward
Reward your puppy with goodies, praise, and attention for good behavior. Positive reinforcement makes your puppy identify excellent behavior with pleasurable results, making them more likely to repeat it.
3. Be Regular
Puppy training requires consistency. Use consistent orders, hints, and approaches to teach your puppy. Inconsistency confuses and slows your pet.
4. Keep workouts brief and fun
To avoid boredom and frustration, keep training sessions short (5-10 minutes) and entertaining for puppies. To keep your dog interested in learning, end each session positively.
5. Wait and Understand
Remember that dog training requires time and patience. Please be patient as your dog learns at their own rate. Even when things go wrong, stay cool and positive and avoid punishing, which might harm your puppy's relationship.
