• Never hit a young puppy.
• Praise every correct action.
• Socialize your pup with other people and other animals.
• Expose your pup to many and various situations, noises,
surfaces, sights etc. treating each in a very matter of fact way.
• Praise exuberantly.
• Do not over protect your puppy or commiserate with your
puppy if he is timid. Rather tell him how wonderful he is. Praise
happily when the pup begins to show more confidence.
• Don’t allow biting at any
time. Keep your hands or leg very still and yelp. Praise when the pup
stops.
• Praise every correct action.
• Never correct a pup after the fact. Correction must be
given as the pup is misbehaving. Train your pup every day to establish
routines, stretch his mental capacities, and make him a joy to be with.
Be consistent in your
handling so the pup does not become confused.
• Keep your pup’s training short
with few
corrections. Pups need success so that they can
develop confidence. Do not call the pup to you to give a correction.
Praise every correct action.
• Pups need a leader so that they feel secure. If you are not in
charge, your pup usually is. Leadership is achieved through
determination and consistence. Never harshness.
Don’t worry if...
• Your puppy doesn’t seem to get the idea of going to the back door
when he needs out. Many pups don’t
develop this behaviour until 5 months.
• Your puppy is still urinating at night. Again some pups do
not develop full bladder control until 5 months. (However, it is a good
idea to have a urine check earlier if the pup has many accidents to make
sure the pup does not have a bladder infection).
 |
• Your puppy has hiccups. This is quite normal and they will
usually outgrow it.
• Your puppy does not understand when you are giving verbal
praise. You must begin by using verbal praise together with stroking,
petting etc. It may be some time before the puppy understands and
appreciates verbal praise on its own.
• Your puppy makes movements and noises whilst sleeping.
• Your puppy appears to know something one day but has
forgotten it the next. Be patient and go back one stage in training.
Remember that puppies must have success to become confident.
