HOUSE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY

There are three three things to consider during puppy house training - observant, consistent and patient.
1. Puppies smell the last place they did their business. Sniffing the ground to find their mark is part of dog behavior. Once you notice it, distract him and take him out as soon as possible. Your attitude and being observant is part of puppy house training.
2. Be consistent in your training, especially in the potty schedule. Especially, right after each meal. Give him a treat to walk or play with for 15 minutes then go out. Don’t get discouraged, remember that you are training your puppy and this is part of being consistent.
3. Be patient, do not expect much immediate progress, the stage can last from two to six months depending on the training, but the right puppy house training and you can do it within a week. Yelling does not help because he can not understand and physical abuse such as slapping, hitting can lead to other dog behavior problems.

DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING

There are 3 methods to train your dog into obedience successfully:

1. Give dog your orders by language

2. Transmit signal by his body using a leash

3. Train dog with your hands or body actions.

it will be better if you use the three methods at the same time. Especially at the beginning of training, dog can't understand the commands well, so, your hands and leash are important as supplementary means, which can express your meaning better. Whenever you walk, move your left foot first, say the command "go" at the same time. In this way, you can lead his action with your left leg. When you want to stop, stop with your right foot first, then close the feet, at the same time, say the command "stop".

House breaking of pup

Basics of Potty Training -
It is important for your dog to have an established routine. The easy way to look at the routine you need to establish is that any time there is a break during the day or a change of direction in your dog’s day, take the dog to his potty place.
The five keys to your success are:
1. When your dog gets up, take him to the potty place.
2. Feed your dog on a regular schedule which will eventually be thrice a day. After he eats or drinks anything, take him to the potty place.
3. After your dog plays or exercises, take him to the potty place.
4. Withhold water for two to four hours before your dog goes to bed.
5. Just prior to going to bed, take him to the potty place.
Depending on the age and activity of your dog, you may need one of the variations suggested in the training course. You may also want to understand the various methods of potty training and when to use which method. One method may fit your dog and your lifestyle better than the others.

Crate Training is Not House Training
There are three basic methods of housebreaking puppies or dogs - the basic direct method, the paper method, and the litter box method. Each method refers to where the dog potties.
Crate training is simply putting your puppy or dog into a crate at times when you cannot watch him every second during housetraining, you leave home, you want him to sleep, you need him to be or feel safe, you are traveling with him, or you need more control over his behavior.

How to prevent biting habit of your dog

Puppies must learn to inhibit their biting habit before they are 4 months old. With large breed dogs, 4 months may be too late because at this age the puppy may already be too large for most mothers of young children to feel comfortable around. For owners, the larger the dog is, the more difficult it is to control, especially around children. Normally, they learn this from their mother, their litter mates. But as we take them away before learning is completed, we must take over the responsibility of training them.

Ways to prevent biting habit -

1. Socialization - Allow your puppy to socialize with other puppies and dogs so that they can pick up where they left off. Puppies roll, tumble and play with each other and when they play, they bite each other. This is where they learn to inhibit their biting and learn to control themselves. This happens naturally and we cannot accomplish it. It can only be learned from trial and error and they must learn from their own experience.

Another advantage of dog to dog socialization besides the fact that it will help your dog to vent their energy in an acceptable manner. So the amount of play biting on you and your family should decrease gradually. Puppies that do not play with other puppies are generally much more hyperactive and destructive in the home as well.

Lack of Socialization Causes Biting

A major cause of biting is lack of socialization of your pup, which often results in fearful or aggressive behavior. The two major reactions a dog has to something it is afraid of are to avoid it or to act aggressive in an attempt to make it go away. This is the most common cause of children being bitten. Dogs that are not socialized with children often end up biting them.

2. Trust and Respect Inhibits Biting -

There are many other reasons your dog biting behavior and before you teach your dog anything, there are two essential prerequisites - trust and respect. If your dog doesn't trust you, there is no reason why he should respect you and when you attempt to teach your dog something, he may not listen to you. Even abused dogs love their owners and a unique characteristic of dogs is their unconditional love. You don't have to do anything to acquire your dog's love. But you must do a lot to gain your dog's trust and respect.

Another area where you may destroy our dog's trust is when you scold or punish them for house soiling and accidents. When house training your puppy, there is never an appropriate time to punish. If you catch your dog in the act, just head for the towels and cleaner. You have no right to scold him, because if he is going in the wrong place, it is your fault, not his. If you find an accident after the fact, just clean it up.

litter training your puppy

Puppies below three months of age have very limited bladder control and reflexes. They usually don't know until the last moment. you can not expect them to tell you ahead of time. If you're good observant, you'll see that a puppy who's looking for a place to relieve itself will suddenly circle about while sniffing the floor. The sniffing is instinct — he is actually looking for a place that's already been used. By preventing accidents in the house, you'll teach him that the only appropriate place is outside the house.
Set up a dog crate or small, confined area, using a dog crate will be more effective. The size of the crate is important — if it's too large, the puppy will have room to use one end as a bathroom. If you've bought a crate for him to “grow into,” you can also get dividers to reduce the inner space while he's small. If he must be left alone while you're at work, then a larger crate is okay.
Put a stack of newspapers at one end for him to use when you can't be home to let him out.
Also in the crate should be a water dish, sleeping pad and toys. Put the crate where he isn't away from the family. If you're using a confined area instead, a small gate across the doorway is preferable to closing the door and isolating your puppy.
Your puppy might not like the crate at first. If he gets really obnoxious, reach inside the crate, give him a little shake by the scruff of his neck and say NO in a deep, stern voice. Eventually he'll settle down and sleep. If you give a tempting treat every time you put the dog in his crate, he'll soon look forward to going in.
The crate is intended to be his sleeping and feeding place and is where he should be when you can't keep a close eye on him. Dogs instinctively keep their sleeping areas clean. If you've allowed him to go when he needs to, he won't dirty his crate if he can help it. Once he's developed better control, he won't need the newspapers unless you're going to be gone all day. Change the papers several times a day if they've been soiled.
Puppy's first night at home
Get off on the right foot at the beginning. After bringing the pup home, you can play with him for an hour. Plan on taking the puppy outside every two hours while he's awake. Don't wait for him to tell you that he has to go.
Feed the puppy his supper in his crate. Wait for him to have a bowel movement before bringing him back in. Some pups get their jobs done quickly, others may take half an hour.
If he's being slow, walk around the yard encouraging him to follow you. Walking tends to get things moving, so to speak!
Always take the puppy outside first thing when you let him out of the crate and always CARRY the puppy to the door - This is important. Puppies seem to have a reflex peeing action that takes affect the moment they step out of the crate onto your carpeting. If you let him walk to the door, he'll probably have an accident before he gets there. Part of this training method is psychological — you want the puppy to feel grass under his feet when he goes to the bathroom, not your carpeting!
After another short play period, take the pup outside before bedtime, then tuck him into his crate for the night. If he cries during the night, he probably has to go out. Carry him outside to, then put him back in the crate with a minimum of cuddling. If you play with him, he might decide he doesn't want to go back to sleep.
