Don't worry about this. It is very normal.

One of the fastest ways to make your new puppy feel at home,  
especially if the pet is six to eight weeks 
old, is to hold your pet in your arms, 
allowing the pet to grow calm and to begin 
to build a trust with you as its master. 
During this period of time it is important 
to have direct eye contact with the animal, 
stroking and speaking softly to it. 

This tactic will be your first step in 
establishing, that all important bond of 
trust, which in turn will make training 
your dog much easier as time progresses.

You should allow the new addition to your 
home to get used to the surroundings and 
the people in the household. 

However, don’t make the mistake of waiting 
too long to begin the training. Puppies are 
somewhat like children, in the sense they 
can quickly pick up bad habits if you don’t 
set boundaries for them. 

When setting these boundaries, you should 
always use a firm but friendly voice with 
direct eye contact. Always be consistent 
about the rule you are establishing and 
don’t vary from it. 

An example of this would be if you started 
off keeping the dog off the furniture, but 
then from time to time, you allowed the 
puppy to climb in your lap and then jump on 
the furniture. 

When you do this you are sending a mixed 
set of signals to the dog and it will 
confuse the animal, which in turn will 
delay the ultimate result you are looking 
for.

One of the other things you will quickly 
realize, when training your pup, is the 
tone of your voice and body language will 
be your strongest tool during the training 
period and throughout the years with your 
dog. Regardless, of the type of breed, your 
K-9 is they are extremely sensitive to how 
you convey your message to them. Therefore, 
all of your training commands should be 
conveyed with a firm but friendly tone and 
non-threatening body language. 

This does not mean you cannot express 
anger, frustration or disappointment with 
your pet. You can accomplish this by simply 
allowing your voice tone to reflect the 
emotion you are experiencing. It is not 
necessary to resort to physical abuse or 
even yelling at the top of your voice. 
Speak the dogs name and use short phrases 
such as; “Stop! Now” and make eye contact 
with your pet. The animal will sense your 
mood and will respond accordingly the 
majority of the time. 

The next best tool in your arsenal for 
training your puppy is going to be patience 
and a willingness to be repetitious 
throughout the training. Repetition, 
Repetition, Repetition should become your 
mantra.

Your dog needs to know who is boss. Don't
hesitate to train your dog thinking that training will
kill his spirit.

It won't.
