DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING helps fulfill his basic needs: Excercise THREE LEVELS OF TRAINING:
During his time of socialization be sure he meets lots of people, dogs, different environments and being handled. This will help him become a confident and friendly dog. Remember, a puppies' personality is formed the first year of his life.
All kinds of topics will be covered which include:
You need to start training him right away. You need to earn your dog's respect and establish yourself as his leader. Give him regular commands and be firm with him. When he respects you he will want to please you. Just remember it takes patience to train your puppy. Consistency at home is important not only with you but the whole family. Remember, puppies have a short attention span and so start out with a maximum of three sessions a day for five minutes each. Use the same words over and over so he doesn't become confused. Keep exercises simple and easy. Do them as many times as he needs to get it right and then he will also learn he can go on to another one. They learn through repetition of actions, commands and praise.
Being rewarded for good behavior during training is very important. He needs to be praised when he does something right. Of course, offering treats to puppies when they are first learning always works!
You can go on to more formal training when he is 6-71/2 months old. Good luck!
