It is Important to do Puppy Obedience
Puppy obedience is something that starts suprisingly early in their development. The breeder who you bought the puppy from could have begun basic puppy obedience training already.
Studies show that up to the age of three weeks, puppies are not yet ready to take in even a little in the way of education. Their entire world revolves around their mother, eating and sleeping. During this period, puppy elimination is done by reflex, but they change around the 21st to 28th day of puppy life as they begin to leave the blanket and search for a place to eliminate. During this stage, puppies start becoming more conscious of their environment, and also become more sensitive to stimuli. Any experiences they have will have a more profound effect on the puppy, so this is the most probable time for shaping up the puppy’s manners and behavior – in short, the perfect time for them to learn puppy obedience.
Getting Puppies Started with Encouragement
While training puppies to obey, you need not use punishment to induce their readiness to please and do the right thing. A great solution is to use positive treats and reinforcements. Saying “no” and holding your hand in front of the puppy are the only acceptable methods of negative reinforcement. Striking a puppy or injuring it in any way is cruel and should not be used as a form of punishment.
Puppies should receive positive affection and praises each and every time they correctly respond to a command. Puppies rely on love, praise and reward to keep them engaged in a training regimen. Alternatively, when given praise and caressed soon after a command is correctly executed, your pet will learn that following these things are fun and rewarding. Good feedback and rewards are the surest path to puppy obedience. Using a positive reinforcement and a treat will strengthen the dog’s understanding and increase’s the dog’s willingness to follow commands.
Persistence Mixed with Great Timing
While puppy training, you should keep in mind that timing is everything. Your movements, actions, and corrections are related to the puppy’s ability to understand the lessons and trainings taught to him. It is imperative that pups learn to recognize that the corrections are given as a result of his untoward action and behavior and that it will not happen if only he did what was expected of him.
For example, when your puppy is chewing on a bone or playing with a toy he is likely to not come to your command.However, if the young dog is told to “come” under circumstances such as when on a leash, followed by a gentle pull towards the trainer, and subsequently followed by praising the dog, then he will find out that when hearing “come”, he should head towards the trainer, and that rewards will be waiting.
Puppy obedience training is best taught in easy exercises, one by one. It will be simpler concept for your puppy, instead of trying to teach all the exercise is a single session. If you are patient and use positive reinforcement, puppies will steadily learn over time to obey your commands.
