Puppy Training Part 10 (last part)

Is your puppy older than 2-3 months? You might think a training schedule would be different for an older puppy.... but it isn't. Whether your puppy is 3 months old, 6 months old, or 9 months old, the order of training must start with the same vocabulary words and respect training I discussed in earlier parts of this series. 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.

Puppy Training Part 2

You must teach your puppy  words  as well as routines. The most important words are "No" (which means "Stop whatever you're doing") and "Good" (which means "I like what you're doing"). These praise and correction words should be started at 2-3 months of age. You must teach these words properly, with the right tone of voice and the right body language, or they won't be of any help in teaching other words. If your puppy is older than 2-3 months and hasn't learned "No" and "Good" flawlessly, you must start with those words before you can expect success with other word training. This Deluxe Hands Free Dog Leash is great for walks or runs with your puppy:  https://angrygorilla.myshopify.com/collections/doggy-style/products/deluxe-hands-free-dog-leash

Puppy Training Part 9

Household rules (2-3 months) Teach your puppy which behaviors are allowed in your house and which behaviors aren't. Is he allowed to shred the toilet paper? (no) Is he allowed to jump up on the furniture, or into the lap of a seated person? (that's up to you, but  everyone  in your family must follow the same policy or your puppy will be hopelessly confused) Is he allowed in the kitchen when meals are being prepared? (that can be unsafe if things get dropped) Can he take a toy away from another dog in the family? (absolutely not! it might look cute but it can lead to bullying and dominance battles later) Can he take socks out of the laundry basket? Can he sleep on your bed at night? What about barking at strangers he sees through the window? Decide on the household rules. Then be completely consistent about enforcing what you have decided. "No!" and "Good!" will serve you well for these puppy lessons, but only if you have taught those word...
