A Well Trained Puppy Equals A Happy Puppy And A Delighted Owner

Many of us mistakenly take a new pet home and expect it to understand how to behave. In the case of a new puppy little could be further from the truth.

You can either train the dog yourself with training aids purchased from your local pet store, or you could enroll on a dog behaviour course.A dog training manual if ideal if you choose to teach the dog yourself so check out your local library or bookstore.
You can buy books that deal with specific elements of a dogs behaviour, for example toilet training.It can be very distressing if your puppy continuously uses your floor as a toilet, so this is one of the first behaviour traits you will need to correct.If there are children in your household then incorporate them into the training routine. This means the dog responds to them in the same was as it does to you.

Obedience training is vitally important, not only for behaviour in the home but also for walks out on a lead.You may be astounded to see the variety of dog leads and leashes on sale and may be confused by all the choice.There are leashes that with the push of a button give a dog a lot of roaming space or you can use the button to bring the animal closer to you. You can buy cloth, leather or chain leashes with the price of these leashes ranging from extremely reasonable to very expensive.

Food is another crucial factor when trying to raise a happy pup, because a poor quality food can impact their behaviour negatively.A puppy has specific dietary requirements, meaning that mature dog food is not ideally suited to them. To address this problem you should always feed a quality puppy food from a specialist producer.Treats such as chewy sticks and bones are the ideal reward for good behaviour. Don’t spoil your puppy by treating them to snacks all the time or they will have no incentive to behave.Feeding really is such a crucial part of pet ownership and in young puppys what you feed them at the start of their life will have an impact on how they grow and develop. Make sure you only ever provide good quality pet food and snacks.
