Puppy Training

Reprimanding Your Puppy:Talk to puppies like you would to children when they do somethingwrong. Tell them "no" and show them immediately what the correctbehavior should be and reward them for doing it right. After afew times they'll know how to do it right. For example, tell him "NO" when you catch him chewing the shoes.Then immediately give him his own toys to chew and cheer him onto chew on the toys. Praise him for doing so.Use sparingly those reprimanding words like "No," "Stop that,""get off" and "bad dog!" Instead use more praises to reward goodbehavior in your dogs, this way the reprimands will take onstronger meaning.A correct reprimand is short, sharp and immediate. Only reprimand when you catch your dog doing something wrong, andpunish only with your voice.Hitting, kicking, slapping or spanking your dog can create moreproblems and usually makes existing problems worse. You may justend up with a barking and chewing dog, one that is leery,hand-shy, fearful or aggressive. If you really have to spank one with your hand, just slap himacross the behind.Repetition and Rewards:Repetitions are a crucial aspect of any dog's training. Youshould always reward them for doing something right whiletraining. The more often he is rewarded, the better and quickerhe will learn. Create situations where your dog can get plenty ofpractice at doing the right things. Be sure to praise and love on him when he does a good job. Thisis simple but not always easy to do. Bad behaviors like biting,constant yelping and barking and tearing the house apart get ourimmediate notice. What we easily forget to acknowledge are thegood parts - when the dog is lying down quietly, chewing on hisown toys, leaving the carpet unsoiled. Praise and reward are the most important part of maintaining yourdog's good behavior and preventing him from getting into trouble.Dog Toys, Games and Treats:Foods, treats or praise will bring out the best responses fromyour dogs during training. Treats can come in the form of their favorite food, toy orsomething they really love to do. Some favorite treats are ice cream, cheese, and chicken. OneBoxer dog even fancies a handful of ice cubes to crunch on thoughhe's not thirsty. Test human food treats a little at a timethough, because some dogs can be sensitive to certain things.Milk products for instance, can give a puppy diarrhea. Human Chocolate can make him very ill indeed.The all time dog favorites of fetching, tug-of-war, and hide andseek games can be made more treasured using your dog's favoriteball or toy, and giving him plenty of stroking in between throws
