Puppy Training Part 7


Your puppy must accept YOU as the leader of the pack. Being the leader simply means you are the one who decides what is okay for your puppy to do and what isn't okay.
For example.... brushing, bathing, clipping nails, cleaning teeth, giving a pill, putting on a collar or harness are all examples of things that your puppy must accept.
These are all times when YOU – not your puppy – have to be the one to decide what is necessary. Your puppy should stand quietly for anything you need to do with him.
The best way to do this is to include it in your vocabulary lessons and your respect lessons. If you teach words and respect properly, acceptance of being handled will come naturally – they go "hand-in-hand", so to speak!

Namely.... daily routines, praise and correction words, crate training, housebreaking, acceptance of being handled, gentleness, and household rules. So if your older puppy is still mouthing on your hands, or barking back at you when you tell him to do something, or if he doesn't stop whatever he's doing when you say, "No", you can't rush on to "heel" or "sit-stay". Respect needs to come first, no matter how many months it takes.  Then you can move on to.... Walk on the leash without pulling. Come when called. EVERY TIME. Lie down – and stay lying down for up to 30 minutes. Wait inside the door or gate
