Puppywishes.com - Expert Dog Training & Puppy Training Advice
It is important to remember that the basic techniques and fundamental principles of the most common puppy training methods used today can be used equally well to train rabbits or chickens. They are designed to bypass any thought processes that the puppy has and hypnotize our pets with food bribes.
The information you are about to receive could be the most important dog training information you will ever read. This information is important because it is designed to construct a solid foundation between you and your dog. Without this foundation anything you teach from here on will be fraught with problems.
Congratulations! You have a new puppy! Wow! You are brave. Yes, brave. You see, when it comes right down to it, the world is divided into two kinds of people; those with puppies and those without.
There have been thousands of puppy training articles published on the internet about puppy potty training. And if you took the time to read them all you would soon discover that almost all of them lead to one word; CRATE. Crate training is without a doubt the most effective way to housebreak a puppy. It is easy, safe and will keep your house clean.
Yes, I know, I know.
You have always believed that training should be done with short simple
words that dogs can understand. Well, if you train your dog like an
idiot, that is what you will end up with. Dogs can learn to guide the
blind, perform stunts for television and deliver messages across miles
of land. They are smart, and if you talk to them they will listen.
The next time my new dog decides to hit me in the groin with his head, intentional or not, I am going to send him to his room. “Time out,” I will bark - a bold and grandiose declaration, “To your room! If you cannot control your head around my ‘small and gentles’ then you must leave!”
The truth is that being a good puppy owner has little to do with giving your puppy treats or letting it run freely in a public park. You can be as firm as you want, as loving as you need and as consistent as the orbiting moon, but if you are unaware of the ten most common mistakes that puppy owners make, then your puppy training goals may never be realized.
Puppies will often bounce around their owners, all the while refusing to come when called, because it is fun, and if you give treats when they behave this way, you make the game rewarding for the puppies as well. In situations where puppies are using game play to out rank you, your best line of defense is to simply turn your back at walk away. Most puppies will give up and follow their owners.
Changing our personal belief systems is perhaps one of the most challenging endeavors we can experience, particularly when these beliefs involve politics, religion, children and dogs. -
