Puppy behavior education essentially amounts to standard instructional orders like 'sit', 'stay', 'fetch', plus a couple of others.
Puppy obedience training is usually extremely helpful in satisfying a number of the dog's most significant requirements.
It really offers your dog some thing to point its interest and its discovering to.
This would consequently render the puppy pretty content.
Most dog owners do not understand that among the major causes why a great deal of young dogs misbehave, is the fact that people don't have any focus while attempting to mould the dog's behavior.
They do not understand how to react appropriately in the numerous situations that they will confront.
Almost all pups can in fact be properly trained as soon as they are seven or eight weeks old.
Why don't we check out a few standard commands and the way to implement them.
To effectively teach all of the following commands employ the use of the dogs favorite treats.
1.
'Sit'.
To implement the teaching of this command it is advisable to hold the piece of food, in your left hand, above the dog's head and voice the word 'sit' clearly and emphatically.
The automatic reaction of the dog at this point would be to sit on its rear end on the floor.
The dog is going to do this and raise its head back at the same time.
If the pup's rear end does not hit the floor, use your other hand, the free one, to put the dog's bottom firmly down on the ground.
As soon as the dog sits on your command reward it with heaps of praise and the treat.
2.
'Stay'.
Before you start teaching this puppy obedience training command, bear in mind that rewarding the dog with the treat should ONLY be when it is in the 'sitting' position, at which position, the dog should be, when you issue the 'Stay' command.
Get the puppy to sit, then firmly say 'STAY' and move away a few spaces at the same time.
If he does not move but remains in the sitting position reward it with praise and the treat.
It is very important that the pup recognizes that the treat and reward is because it stayed put and did not move.
3.
'Heel'.
With this puppy obedience training command it might be wise to clearly show the pup the treat at exactly its forehead height.
Ensure that the treat is in your left hand.
At this point you will choose to utter 'heel' after which you can step forward a little bit.
While you are moving allow the dog to eat some of the offered food.
To start with, make sure you just traverse two or three steps.
After that, you may proceed a bit more every time you issue the command 'heel'.
Every time the pup does it perfect, don't forget to reward him with praise.
As soon as the doggy starts to understand what exactly is required of it, you can begin raising the piece of food slightly higher.
If your puppy jumps to bite the treat be certain not to reward him.
Reward him only if he obeys the command.
4.
'Stand'.
This obedience command could only be taught after you get the dog in the down position.
Ensure that this is done to make the dog understand the significance of both the commands.
Use the treat to get the dog to stand on issuing the 'stand' command.
Move the treat higher till the dog is in an erect standing position.
Reward him with the treat and praise each time he stands erect on your command.
When his action becomes reflex withdraw the treat or lengthen the standing time before giving it.
5.
'Down'.
Openly and blatantly display the treat to the dog to train it for this puppy obedience training command.
At this point, you have to voice the word 'down' moving the treat slowly to the floor at the same time.
You must use your hands to push him down to the floor only if it is needed.
Reward him with the treat and heaps of praise if he does lie down on your command, even if it is for just a second or two.
Repeat the exercise, and once the reaction to the command is reflex, you must withdraw the treat or give it after some time, to ensure that the dog is not obeying the command for the treat.
6.
'Come'.
The best way to teach this puppy obedience training command is to call out the name of the dog with the word 'come' immediately after it, at various times of the day.
Do no worry if you have nothing specific in mind for the dog to do.
Reward it with lots of praise each time it comes.
Next, get someone to hold the dog then call his name and say 'come' after it.
Remember to reward him each time he struggles free and comes on your call.
The success of implementing these puppy obedience training commands lies in your consistency in rewarding, praising and being friendly towards the animal.
