TRAINING A PUPPY

 

How do I teach my puppy its name?

· Use your puppy's name when calling it, praise it when it responds

How do I get my puppy used to wearing a collar and lead?

· Firstly get your puppy used to wearing a collar by putting it on for short periods of time
· Start with a light collar, not too tightly buckled
· Once they are used to wearing the collar add the lead and let your puppy wander around with it, keep him under supervision in case of accidents
· Pick up the lead and coax him to follow you

How do I teach my puppy basic commands?

· Keep the lessons short, around 10 minutes a time at regular times
· Use short words like:
- Come
- Down
- Heel
- Sit
- Stay
· Show him what you want, clearly saying his name, followed by the command
· Use a little food treat or a toy to encourage him and a happy tone of voice
· Praise him when he gets it right but never punish him for not obeying a command, as he will associate the command with punishment
· Make the lessons fun and he will delight in pleasing you
· Most areas hold obedience classes
