Avoid Common Puppy Training Traps.
Puppy
training problems run in packs. Where you find one problem, you find
two, and where you find two, you find four. The best possible way to
deal with a single puppy training problem is to also deal with the
hidden problems that created it.
You may have a housebreaking problem because you can't
crate train your puppy. Why can't you crate your puppy? Because he
screams when you lock him up. A-ha!
You see, PUPPY TRAINING problems do run in packs.
What may seem like a housebreaking problem is also a barking problem.
Or how about dogs that bite. Did you know that most cases
of unwanted aggression result from untreated shyness? So if you are
having a problem with a puppy that growls and bites, you may need two
solutions, treatment for the aggression, and treatment for the shyness
that started the problem in the first place.
Unlike most puppy training programs that
sell you basic information first, and try to up-sell more helpful
information later, Puppywishes.com
(one of the most respected names in
internet dog training), is
proud to present one of the most powerful and effective puppy training
packages available anywhere.
Everybody Loves A
Puppy,
But Not Everybody
Can Train One!
Well
meaning puppy owners often fail to properly educate their puppies
because they fall into the top three puppy training traps. These puppy
training traps often produce temporary training results that lull puppy
owners into a false sense of accomplishment. They may think their puppy
is learning, but in the end, as the puppy matures, people often realize
that they still have dog problems.
●
The Punishment Trap
Notwithstanding the vast number of humane
advancements made in the world of puppy training, many training
authorities still convince people to punish their puppies. Choke-Chains,
Shock Collars, and other punishment devices are sold and placed on
millions of puppies each year. If you have
been told that you must punish your puppy, you have not been told the
truth. There is almost never a legitimate reason to
spank, yank or shock a puppy. The end results of these training methods
are questionable, and you could corrupt your puppy's sensitive nature.
●
The Food Treat Trap
In an attempt to break away from
physically abusive puppy training styles, many well meaning trainers
have adopted methods that advocate the use of food lures. The great
problem with using food as a training tool is that many puppies become
addicted to the treat. The improper use of
food lures can cause your puppy to question your authority. This can
lead to a terrible weakness in your relationship with your puppy.
The risks involved with food lure training methods have been well
documented by thousands of credible dog trainers. With proper,
professional guidance treat based
training methods work well and can
produce great results. However, food based training methods are often
used by the most inexperienced trainers, who often pass their
professional mistakes onto their clients;
that's you!
●
The Spoiling Trap
This is perhaps the most common trap by
which
puppies and their owners are hurt. This is an emotional trap that
hooks people with feelings of love. Spoiling
occurs when people give their puppies too much too soon.
Before any real training occurs puppies are placed in situations where
training is needed. Puppies are often given too much freedom because
people feel guilty about confining a puppy to a crate, or keeping it on
a leash until it has been successfully trained. When puppies are given
too much freedom they frequently make mistakes. Over time these mistakes
become leaned habits that are extremely difficult to break. Remember
this: according to the Webster's Dictionary, the word 'spoil'
means "to make rotten".
