Tips to Train Your Puppy

Everyone wants to have a dog companion, polite and pleasant. And one thing you can be sure: no one is born knowing, not the dogs! Train the puppy goes far beyond ansinar commands and tricks. We must dedicate ourselves and lay a solid foundation for good education while the dog is still a puppy.

Ideally bring the dog house from eight weeks old. Once the puppy is brought to your new home, training should begin. Do not expect your dog to acquire undesirable behaviors to seek professional help. The following tips will help in the early puppy training.

Five training tips to train puppies

1. Prevent leaps from the beginning.

Every puppy is very gracious jumping to ask for our attention, but it is important to make this clear rule from the beginning. We should not let the puppy do what we do not want an adult to do. Do not caring or talk to the puppy when he jumps, just ignore until he put all four legs on the ground. When he is on the ground, say words of praise and caress. If the dog out early on that never gets attention jumping, he will have less chance to jump on people when adult.

2. Start leash training.

Take your dog is still a puppy and start training the collar of use. This phase is much easier to control the dog and we need to show him that just can not keep going if with loose guide. Let loose lead and begin walking. If the dog look at you and walk beside you, praise. If he starts running in front just stop walking and wait until he look again for you. Praise and begin walking.

This workout can be done indoors as the puppy can not go out to the street.

3. Avoiding aggressive behavior.

One of the most important lessons you can teach the puppy is accepting their presence near the food, toys and walks. Teach your dog that your presence means something good. A common misconception is to think that your dog must of course allow you to put your hand in your food and take your toys without being rewarded. When owners intrude within a dog without giving a reward, they actually teach the dog to become defensive, and it will probably growl and bite, possibly in those situations over time.

4. Give time to your dog alone.

When a new puppy into the house, it is surrounded with love of family and friends. The majority of the dogs get used to all the attention and are not aware that everyday life is not always full of admirers. It's easy to spend hours on end with something new, especially a puppy, but when the dog grows, it will be difficult to devote as much time as you did in the beginning. Prepare your dog for the future, giving you regular intervals separation of people and other pets. Help your dog to not be anxious. Explain that being alone is not the end of the world.

5. Train basic obedience commands.

No matter what race is your dog, it is always very important and interesting teaching obedience commands the puppy. The training will create a bond between you that will be very useful in some situations day-to-day. Moreover, it is a mental activity that dogs love. Just be sure to choose a good coach using positive methods to train dogs. Always praise your dog when he obey a command.

How to Teach The Dog to Bring Objects

The media and the movies always stand this behavior: a dog that brings the most different objects for you. But it's not always as easy as it may seem teaching.

It can be a ball, the very guide before the tour, the newspaper, frisbee, one bottle .... but have you tried and did not really work?

We were asking for some tips to the director of the Ideal Dog, Gustavo Campelo, to find out what the most effective way to teach the command to bring objects.

If your dog already has this genetic tendency or part of the group of retriever dogs, the task can be much easier. Breeds and Golden Retriever as part of this group for example. If your dog has never shown much courage in this playful style the task may be more complicated because you need to build behavior, preferably as soon as possible.

Step 1: Start praising every time he brings the object you choose and do not try to take it. Just do care.

Step 2: Train fairly step one and then change the object for a snack he likes. Careful not to overdo the snacks! Divide each into several small pieces instead of giving various integers.

Step 3: When you realize that he already drops the object in most cases, start a verbal command. Can be "loose," "wide" or any word you choose for this command. Praise forever!

After practicing the step 3 is already expected him to release the object when you hear the voice command.

If you experience difficulty in this or other training, you can contact the Ideal Dog.
