How To Train a Puppy In Simple Easy Steps

by Gill Mortenssen

Having a new puppy in the house is very exciting and fun. Everyone will want to touch the puppy, everyone will want to play with the puppy and everyone will want to feed the puppy. When you first bring your puppy home, you should take note that you are taking the puppy away from the mother. We know, your puppy is an animal and that is what animals do, but believe it or not, your puppy was used to the mother. This means your puppy is going to be vulnerable, so for the first couple of weeks, in order to go through successful puppy training, you should keep the puppy on a routine.

You may not realize this right now, but those first couple of weeks you have you puppy in the home is very critical. Before you got you puppy, you should have gotten certain items such as a dog crate or dog bed, water bowls, puppy chow, leash, toys, collar, etc. All of the family members should have decided and agreed upon the responsibility, rules and the routine.

You wake up, your puppy gets some water, you take your puppy for a walk, your puppy comes back in, he or she eats and drinks, then she plays for a little while, goes back outside, takes a nap, etc. That's only half the day for your puppy.

Everyone has previously agreed that the puppy should not be jumping on them, but during the excitement, no one even notices the puppy is jumping on them. So there you are, the puppy has won and got to sleep in the bed and the next morning, there is puppy odor all over the bed from urinating. Therefore, the following night, the new puppy is in the crate and there he or she sits, yelping all night. No one in the house gets sleep.

We know you are very excited right now about your new puppy, but if you hold the puppy training off for a week, even a couple of days, it will be even harder to get your puppy into the routine you need him or her to be in.

That puppy is vulnerable. What the puppy needs is routine and security. That's right, the key to learning how to train a puppy is all about a routine and security. Set up a room just for your puppy. Put paper down on the whole floor, take the food and water bowls along with the bed and put it all in one corner. Put the puppies toys everywhere.

When you play with your puppy, make sure you play gently and quietly. We know this may be irresistible to do, but don't go flooding the puppy with activity and attention. If your puppy looks like he or she wants to lay down and take a nap, then step back.

You should take note that puppies will need their sleep, just like you. Once you've learnt the real technique of puppy training and you have mastered it, you will be able to tell by the obedient dog that is sitting in front of you.
