TRAINING YOUR PUPPY
Puppy training marks the beginning of his journey to become the loving and faithful dog that will be by your side for life.
The relationship you have with your dog is like a two-way street - a connection. And as in any close relationship, the more you give, the more you receive. That is why you also play an essential role.
WHEN CAN THE PUPPY START TRAINING?
Ahead! If you are getting your puppy from a breeder, you will likely have him at home when he is around eight weeks old. By this age your new puppy has already developed around 80% of his adult brain and in the coming weeks his brain will continue to develop.
Your puppy is ready to learn and it is important to you that you feel safe and be consistent from day one.
Puppies have a short attention span and it will take several tries to learn; But once they realize what is expected of them, you have a great opportunity to educate them quickly. And remember that it is easier to educate them now than when they are a few months older, and they are bigger, stronger and acquire their own customs.
BUILD YOUR PUPPY'S CONFIDENCE
Confidence and perseverance give your puppy the necessary peace of mind so that he can trust you, his father. Using their name often may seem simple, but for them it is a very important sign.
Another way to build your confidence is through positive reward and recognition of good behavior - rather than punishment through physical force. Through the above, you will be able to foster a strong bond of trust based on mutual respect and adequate reward.
Puppies are a lot of fun, but it can also be frustrating when they don't always do what you want them to do. Apart from the fact that they do not speak the same language, please note that they are very young and therefore very easily distracted.
Be patient and consistent with your puppy. He is still learning and will finally understand what you want him to do. Learn the secrets on how to correct bad dog behavior here: https://bit.ly/3eqf5sD
