1. Ask yourself questions about how you want to educate your pet
Obviously, pets are very different from us. Therefore, our rationality does not have to be applicable in those acts that pets perform.
Before training a dog you, should ask yourself the following questions: Where is he going to sleep? Am I going to let him get on the sofas and beds? Will your dog be able to access all the sites in the house? Will your dog eat in the same place as us?
While your pet is a puppy you will not mind that he climbs anywhere. But do you want me to behave like this when your dog becomes older? Well, at that time you will have a problem, since your pet will not understand that you are not allowed to do something that has been doing for months. Therefore, it is convenient that you establish rules of coexistence for your dog from day one and not change those rules of coexistence anymore.
2. The whole family must train the dog the same
Surely your child will like to play a lot with your dog and instead, you will have other concerns or tasks. A pet makes no difference between people in your home. All the members are its relatives, for him. Well, we must apply that same behavior. All family members must be clear about the rules that the dog must obey. Ideally, together you decide what will be the behavior to follow.
3. Educate your dog to learn to recognize his name
We have a name, dogs too. That name is given by us and therefore we must communicate it. You must teach your dog to recognize his name. You should keep in mind that the time it takes for a dog to learn its name is, on average, between 5 and 10 days. But the question is this: How to show him his name? A good way to carry out this training is to call him when you have eye contact and always, with the reinforcement of the prize.
There is the so-called Training Trick, which is that if it does not obey you, it is not worth calling it many times. It is better to distract your attention with something for a few seconds and start over.
4. Educate your dog to learn to be with others
Humans make friends and have contacts. As we enrich ourselves culturally by interacting with other people, in addition to contacting other people motivates us. The same thing happens to animals. Knowing how to socialize a dog will make our pet correctly relate to other dogs and people. If in the first months of your puppy's life you only have it at home, when you go out for the first time, it is normal for your pet, to be afraid. That is bad, because if a dog is afraid it will start barking and may scare the people or animals around it. Also, that can be harmful to your dog. How to avoid it? It is very good that in those first months you walk with your pet through different places. Not only must you show him how to get around the city, but he must see that there are many kinds of people, cars, bikes, baby carriages.
5. You must teach your pet how to bite
Our dog will interact with us through his mouth. Not only they play pretending to bite, they catch objects with their mouth. It is important that they learn to control their way of biting before 4 or 5 months, since later, it becomes more complicated. The system is very simple, you must allow him to bite since he is developing his teeth but it is essential that he use toys and teethers. To show him the difference you must also use your hand in the games and, as soon as he presses a little harder, stop him and get away from him. However, the possible dangers have to be taken into account, since the teeth of the puppies are pure needles, be careful.
6. How to train your puppy in positive
It is shown that it is more effective to train by strengthening positive behaviors, than by avoiding negative ones. If your dog does something wrong, you never quarrel, but you must learn what is right and what is wrong. There are several ways to reward a dog, you can do it by giving him a treat. You can also pet your dog. It is also good to make some compliments. Well, when your dog has just obeyed an order, it is good to dedicate some beautiful words in a sweet voice.
7. Do not have a contradictory training
The contradiction in some cases is positive, but in this case it can be negative. If you quarrel with a dog, but then reward it, it may seem like a contradiction, right? The dog should not be scolded, since if you do, the dog will have less respect for you and will disobey you even more. It's good to wait for him to behave properly, though, insisting that he do the right thing. But you should reward him when he does something good. We must reward him when we have called him and he has come, not because he wants to approach.
8. Teach your dog to stay alone
Pets love their relatives. One of the causes that cause more anxiety and sadness to our pets is to spend a lot of time without us. However, it is very important that our dog learn to manage his loneliness. Nor is it good that our pet is with us all the time. We must make exits from the house, even if they are short and for a very short period of time.
9. Short training sessions and in different places
Teaching the dog should be something fun for him and for you. Therefore, it is advisable to organize short work sessions, about 15 minutes each. It is important that the dog does not get bored.
10. Learn to fight him properly
At some times, our puppy will act improperly. If we want our pet to understand that something should not be done, just say the word "no."
