Puppy Training - why you should start immediately or suffer the consequences


Usually when a new dog is introduced to a home it is very cautions and nervous. You will often see the puppy shivering during its first hours or even 
into the next day.

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. Give the dog time to learn its new surroundings and the people that live with you.

Begin training as soon as possible, if not immediately. You puppy could pick up bad habits very swiftly. Set the boundaries. Be firm and keep direct eye contact. Be consistent or you will confuse your dog. 

The tone of your voice and body language will be your strongest tool during the training period and throughout the years with your dog. Your dog is 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. 

You are also giving yourself a training lesson in persistence, patience and desire. This is a good thing! Have a great time learning with your puppy. 

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.
