It is Important to do Puppy Obedience

Puppy obedience should start early on in the whelping box. The basics of puppy obedience training may be initiated by the breeder from whom you purchased or secured your puppy.

Puppies, according to studies, are not ready for any training until at least three weeks of age. Their entire world revolves around their mother, eating and sleeping. At this point the puppy elimination is controlled by reflex.  This will change around the 21st to 28th day.  They will leave the blanket behind and search for a place to eliminate. At this period, puppies become more aware of their surroundings and are growing 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.

Staying Positive Helps Puppies

With positive reinforcement you can encourage your pet to achieve at a higher level. A great solution is to use positive treats and reinforcements. When you are needing to use negative stimuli for your puppy it should be limited to no and block any bad actions from your puppy with using your hands. You should not hit or otherwise hurt a puppy as it is counterproductive.

Whenever a puppy does what you ask it to do be sure to shower him with a reward of affection and praise to reinforce this behavior. If not praised, puppies will lose enthusiasm and interest in obeying you. After your pet does a command correctly and you praise and caress them, they will then learn that following these things are fun and rewarding. Puppy obedience will also be developed as he learns that repeating proper actions will reap rewards. Using a positive reinforcement and a treat will strengthen the dog’s understanding and increase’s the dog’s willingness to follow commands.

A Consistent and Proper Timed Approach

Timing is everything when it comes to puppy training. Your movements, actions, and corrections are related to the puppy’s ability to understand the lessons and trainings taught to him. Younger dogs may be confused by discipline, so it is critically important that puppies understand the link between their disobedience and the resulting disciplinary correction.

For instance, a puppy who’s chewing on a bone or toy in another room is unlikely to act in response to the command “come,” and if no one brings him to the trainer, he will learn that the command is the same as “ignore.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. Bring your patience with you when you are training and use positive reinforcement.  Slowly your puppy will learn to obey.
