Getting a new puppy is just the beginning of all the fun to come. There will be a few frustrating days intermingled with the over abundance of excellent ones, so don't let these get you down. Training a new puppy takes time, patience, and consistency. Having a daily routine is the best way to get started with training, as well as remaining focused on the type of training at hand. It will be easiest for both of you if you start with one task at a time, instead of throwing a bunch of new commands his way. The following are some very basic puppy training tips.
Housebreaking: Some people are able to keep an eye on their puppy all day long, to make sure that he doesn't make a mess in the house. This takes some careful watching for certain signs.
The most common sign of a puppy looking for a bathroom area is when his nose goes to the ground. He will usually do a bit of searching before he relieves himself, but it doesn't take long. Being able to spot him when he first starts looking will give you a few seconds to scoop him up and take him outside. After he's done his relieving outdoors, praise him and bring him back inside.
People who use this method watch for signs of bathroom searching and immediately take the pup outside. As soon as his nose goes to the ground, you might only have a few seconds before he starts to leave a puddle.
Once you figure out his bathroom pattern, then you can adjust the amount of time in the kennel. It's a good idea to let him out every two hours or so to play, even if he doesn't need to use the bathroom. Dogs usually won't make a mess where they sleep, so be prepared for some whining in the night when he needs to relieve himself.
Chewing: Problem chewing can be solved by having plenty of chew toys available for your new puppy. Sometimes sore gums is an issue and is why chewing starts. Having a clean sock in the freezer that is filled with some crushed ice is a great treat for soothing sore gums.
If the puppy finds something to chew on that isn't one of his toys, this is remedied by quickly taking the item while firmly saying the word 'no' to him. You will need to have a toy of his to give him in place of the other item. This may take a bit of time for him to realize which toys are his and which are yours.
The key to having these puppy training tips be successful is by being consistent with each process. Getting frustrated and giving up will only confuse your puppy. There is a lot of work involved in the beginning with letting him know what all the rules are, but once he has them down, he will be a very well-behaved little pup. - 31866
