Basic puppy/dog training. Stars with basic puppy/dog training.

In basic puppy training, the trainer must have and follow some rules and principle that are listed below.

Must have a clear step in training, from easy to hard.
Spend a short period in training in the beginning. Spend no longer than 10 minutes in training with a 5-10 minutes break.
Don’t make the training be a boring thing at the beginning. Do not provoke or punished them so hard till they are scared. If can, the trainer can make the training be a “FUN” thing for them, your dogs then they are more willing to learn.
When giving commands, you must use a clear command to avoid confusion.
Give a praise “GOOD BOY/GIRL” with a gentle pat on their shoulder every time when they follow your command correctly.
Make corrections “RIGHT AWAY” when your dog did something wrong or when they did not follow your command, use the command “NO” short and loud with an angry expression on your face. Dogs can read the owners/trainers expression on their face or their tone of voice. Owners can also jerk the leash gently “AVOID HITTING”. If you jerk the leash too hard, the dog will be afraid and loose their interest to learn.

Train your pup’s to poop and urinate

First of all, owners must find a good spot or location for example, in the toilet or one corner of the house. After that, try and notice when your pup’s needs to urinate or poop. Usually a puppy cry and sniff in circles, this sign shows that they need to GO!! A puppy 3-6 months old will poop 5 times a day. As for a 6 months old dog 4 times a day and for a grown up dog 3 times a day. Dog’s and puppies needs to urinate right after they wake up and after each meal. When owners notice that your pup’s needs to poop or urinate. Owners must hurry and take your pup’s to the location that you prepared. Do this 2-3 times, your pup’s will remember where to go next time. Don’t hit your pup’s if they poop or urinate at the wrong place. Just use the command “NO” with a loud tone of voice then take him to the location that you prepared. After a while your pup’s will remember automatically.

Train eating and sleeping habits

For eating and sleeping habits, puppies must also be trained. Food should be fed at a fixed location and time. After your pup’s finished eating, owners must wash and put away their bow right away. Don’t leave the bow with food lying around. This is to prevent a bad habit of eating all the time and also eating from strangers. A pup’s also needs to be trained to sleep at a specific location. They are not to be put in same room, same bed as the owner for any reasons. This is to prevent one day if owners have to put them outside of the house, they will think that they have been left out and giving you and your next door neighbor a howling and barking sound all night.


Train your pup’s not to chew on your furniture

It’s natural for puppies to chew and bite on your things. The reason for this is because your pups are starting to have teeth! Surely their main target is your table and chairs legs, socks etc. Puppies like to chew on things is to clean their teeth and gums and other reasons are of stress form nothing to do or no one to play with. Owners should find them a ball or a rubber bone to avoid your pup chewing on your furniture. But if you see your pup is chewing on your furniture, owners must use the command “NO” and gently open up your pup’s jaw and pull them out. Don’t try and jerk things out of their mouth or else they will think that you are playing with them.

Starts basic puppy/dog training...

Start basic dog training

After your dogs starts to follow your basic commands “NO” and praise like “GOOD”. Now they are ready for the next level of basic exercise. The following exercise should start when your pup’s are around 4 months old.
Command words should be short and simple like “COME HERE”, “SIT”, “DOWN” and “WALK” or “HEEL”. Use a powerful tone of voice but don’t shout. In the beginning owners might have to arrange your dog position when using the command. Do them commands over and over again and be PATIENT!. Owners must keep in mind that you are teaching something to them that are not their natural birth instinct..
The two things that you will need to train your dog is a collar and a leash. The collar that you put on your dog is not to be too tight or too loose. When the collar is on your dogs neck, you should be able to slide your thumb between the collar. As for the leash, should be at least 5 foot long either leather or nylon.
In the beginning when you first use a collar or leash, your dog might not be use to it, so take your time. Firstly put the collar on your dog and the leash hooked up to it. Pull the leash gently and if your dog jerks back, give the leash some slack. Give your dog a praise when he follows you, do this a few days till your dogs are use to the collar and leash but always keep in mind that your dog should be on your left side of your body.

Walk / Heel on command

Position your dog on the left side of the trainer. Use the command “WALK” or “HEEL” then starts walking. Trainer might have to pull the leash a little to make your dog follow you. Walk slowly but if your dog won’t follow you or too far behind, trainer must gently jerk the leash. When your dog comes beside you, give them a praise every time. If your dog is too far ahead, pull the leash back gently till your dogs are at the same level as the trainer. DON’T RUN AND FOLLOW THEM. Try to keep your dog beside you all the time through the training.

STOP on command

After walking the dog for a while, trainer can stop walking and use the command “STOP”. Pull jerk the leash a little to make your dog stop walking. When your dogs stop, give them a praise and a pat on their left shoulder. Follow this training 5-6 times and your dogs will learn automatically on stopping on your command without trainer pulling the leash. Train this training at least 2-3 days.

Sit on command

When your dog can stop properly, now you can train them to sit. After walking your dog the trainer must command your dog to stop. Then use the command “SIT” and lifting the leash upwards. At the same time use your left hand and push your dog back side down on the ground. Do this a few times till your dogs know how to sit. Give them a praise every time they follow your instruction correctly.

Down on command

 When your dog can sit properly, now you can train them to lie down. Firstly make your dog sit then use the command “DOWN”. At this time trainer must pull down the leash downwards and use your left hand pushing your dog shoulders down. Do this a few time till your dog can lie “DOWN” by themselves without trainers pushing the dogs shoulder.

Stay on command

After your dog can follow “SIT” and “DOWN” command, to teach your dog to stay is easy. Use the command “STAY” with a right hand signal facing your forehand to your dog, do this with one step forward and face your dog. If your dog starts to follow, the trainer must use the command “NO” and use the “STAY” command right away. Do this training over and over again and every time increase the distance between you and your dog and don’t forget to praise them when they do correctly.

Come on command

Call your dogs name and follow by the command “COME”. Do this training a few times.
