INTRODUCTION

Some may believe that potty training is as simple as only having the dog on a daily routine of feeding, drinking, and potty-outs where she is carried out every few hours. Or they believe after only a week or two, the dog should be fully housetrained. That may be so for certain precocious pups; however, other puppies who are put to such a loose, abbreviated potty regimen are only slightly housetrained, or have potty accidents for months.

These little Rovers know that potting out is fine, but they don't get it's out of limits inside.In fact, after a lengthy play or workout session, they may also come inside and relieve themselves on your luxurious carpet.

That's because potty training is not just about where to go to the school. It's all about making clear that other places are unacceptable, so potting is a routine even in the right places.

Since the moment you get it home you will need to start teaching your dog to start house cleaning. Puppies start learning from birth and successful breeders quickly start treating and socializing. Any training can start as soon as the puppy is able to open its eyes and walk. Young puppies have limited periods of concentration but you can expect them to start practicing basic obedience commands like "down," "down," and "stop," as soon as 7 to 8 weeks old.

Traditionally, intensive dog discipline was postponed until about 6 months. This juvenile period is really a really poor time to get going. The dog learns from any practice and avoiding teaching ensures missed opportunities for the dog to know how you want to act like him.

The dog starts to solidify adult behavioral patterns during the developmental stage, and develops through cycles of anxiety. Behaviors acquired during puppyhood may need to adjust. Moreover, something that has already been mastered or poorly qualified will need to be removed and re-taken. Puppies can learn much from an early age.

Use approaches that focus on positive reinforcement and supportive coaching while training is begun at 7 to 8 weeks of age, puppies have short attention spans, and training sessions should be brief, but should take place every day.

Using a method called food-lure teaching, puppies can be trained to "down," "down," and "stand" They use nutritional treats to entice the canine to follow his paws in the proper "down," "down," "stand," and "wait" poses. Small pieces of food or a favorite pet can be used to inspire the puppy to do most of the activities. If the reward is enticing enough, the puppy may be encouraged to offer the desired response by presenting the reward to the puppy, issuing an order, and shifting the reward to get the desired response.

For starters, food placed over the puppy's nose and moved slowly backwards should receive a 'down' response; food pulled down to the ground should receive a 'down' response; food brought back up should receive a 'stand' response; food kept at a distance should receive a 'come' response; and food held at the knee as you walk should get the puppy to 'heel or' jump.

The puppy would quickly learn the meaning of each order by combining a command phrase or word with each move, and providing the reward for each appropriate response.

Ideally you will give the term of order once and then use your food to push your puppy into positions.

Once the puppy has completed the job, put in overt reinforcement and affectionate hug, regarded as secondary reinforce, If the puppy does not follow on the first order automatically, then you will possibly move a little too quickly. If you continue to repeat the order, the puppy will understand that it requires multiple repetitions before it has to comply. Having a leash tied will help if the dog doesn't comply to get an immediate response.

Mind your puppy doesn't know the meaning of the word, early in training. Therefore you could teach your dog just as quickly to sit with the word bananas (or sit in any other language) as you could with the word stop. The trick is to connect the term to the practice of putting the hind end on the surface, in this case "sit."

At first you'll let the puppy see the food in your pocket, so you'll get her attention and use it to direct her into position. You can start hiding the food in your hand as your puppy begins to respond more readily, but send the order and repeat the gesture or signal she's learned to obey. The puppy will quickly come to expect the reward every time she carries out the mission. Signal and give the order instead, but when she carries out the task, simply reward it with encouragement and give the puppy an affectionate hug. First, you should start changing pace, celebrating "good dog" and maybe patting each time, then occasionally offering the food, maybe every 3 or 4 days. The puppy will respond in time to either the hand signal or the order.

The words "good dog" and the affectionate touch become secondary reinforcers over time. Because in the past they were combined with food, they take on more meaning and become self-reinforced. It is necessary to use secondary motivation, because when you need your pet to comply, you won't always have food with you. Additionally, if you depend on food to get your dog to do it, you'll have a puppy that will only do the job when you're getting a treat.

Start at first training throughout the day, with a number of family members, in specified sessions. The bonuses for those training sessions should be saved. You should however start asking the dog to perform the tasks at other times over time.

You don't actually have to practice each day in a fixed session. Instead, combine those activities all day long. At least 15 minutes of exercise each day is one goal to aim for.

These can vary throughout the day to be short 5 minute sessions. Seek to have your puppy remind all family members to do those things. Keep in mind trying to train in every room in your home. You want your dog to "sit down," "lie down" and "wait" everywhere, not just at the training site. Train wherever you want your puppy to behave in the future, and feel comfortable and relaxed.

Use these fitness exercises as you incorporate your puppy into your life. For examples, remind your puppy to "sit" before you get their milk, "sit" before you let her in or out of the room, and "sit" before you pet her. These are moments when you want something from your dog and are more likely to obey. In this way, you train your dog all the time, all day long and also set consistent rules and procedures for encounters to make the dog understand who manages the tools.

Training the puppy before having every need demanded helps to avoid problems. Sitting your puppy before getting a meal or reward avoids begging, whereas telling your dog to sit before opening the door can prevent the door from jumping or running out. Be imaginative. Be innovative.

When you have an adult dog, the time that you spent raising your puppy now pays off. To have a well-trained dog, you need to dedicate yourself for the first year of your puppy's life and practice the training exercises on almost a daily basis. The more you train and supervise your dog, the less opportunity it has to indulge in unethical behavior. The dogs do not teach themselves, they will behave like puppies when left to choose their actions.

Training will start with a few disruptions in a quiet environment. The reward selected should be highly motivating, so that the puppy is fully focused on the trainer and the reward. Although a small meal reward generally works well, it may be more tempting to have a favorite toy or a special dog treat. Training the puppy just before a planned mealtime when it's at its hungryest might also be beneficial.

With troublesome or headstrong puppies, having a leash attached and using a head collar for extra supervision is the best way to ensure the puppy demonstrates the desired behavior and respond appropriately to the order. In this way, if it doesn't comply automatically, you will push the puppy into the correct response, and the strain can be released as soon as the desired response is met.

Socialization will start as soon as you get your puppy and this often means at age 7 weeks.

Puppies generally accept new people, other species and introduce new circumstances during the time of socialization which takes place between the ages of 7 and 14 to 16 weeks. This era provides an opportunity for a multitude of introductions that will provide a lifetime of positive memories. During this time, puppies are enthusiastic, exploratory and uninhibited and it is important to take advantage of that enthusiasm.

Make sure your puppy is safe during this time and make sure all the encounters are constructive, enjoyable and not evoking terror.

There is a regular, natural cycle of fear that begins at about 14 to 16 weeks. A puppy may become wary and cautious of new individuals, species or experiences during this time. That is a normal process of adaptation. Look closely at the dog for signs of anxiety (cowering, urinating, and rejecting food treats). During this developmental phase stop pressuring or upsetting the puppy

With these few simple steps, pet owners who are novices at training will launch a training programme. It takes consistency, patience and perseverance for the puppy to respond to commands in a variety of situations with predictability and durability. Consider only those classes which use constructive techniques in teaching.

A training class, however, performs a great many purposes. Trainers will highlight techniques and help guide you through the training phase. They can help educate you about issues with puppy training, and can help you progress your preparation to more challenging workouts. In a group situation the puppy should know, with some real life distractions. So, given human nature, if they don't want to be behind by the next class, the pet owner who takes his or her dog to a puppy class will be required to train (do their homework) during the week. Finally, a training course is a good place to meet and chat with other new puppy owners and see how all the puppies are doing.

Preparing for the puppy

There are a few things you need to get ready before your new puppy or dog arrives in to make sure they're relaxed and content in their new home.

Food and water bowls Prefer food and water bowls with heavy-bottomed ceramic or stainless steel. Plastic containers are likely to end up as chew toys, and tooth marks can become a refuge for bacteria, destroying teeth and gums. Your dog (and you) will therefore find it difficult to tip over a large bowl through an mistake.

By rule, all dogs must wear a tag on their collar which indicates the name and address of their owner. And adding your phone number is a smart idea too. Order a tag online or at the nearest pet store.

The use of micro-chipping because collars can fall off or break: it's fast, painless, permanent and reliable. Ask the vet to implant the tag, and if the puppy or child or horse is gone, you'll have a much better chance of being reunited. Check with the breeder or rescue home to see if the puppy or dog has already been micro-chipped, and ask them how to attach the chip to your address.

Anything to chew on: Dogs like to chew and a teething puppy or dog can eat something that they can get inside their jaws. And if you want to cover your boots, shoes and couch, give your puppy or dog a set of chews to test their teeth on instead. Only make sure they're non-toxic, long-lasting and not too harsh on puppy or dog teeth. And never leave your puppy or dog alone with something that could scare them, crack or electrocute them in their head.
