Puppy Training Part 1


Routines are reassuring to puppies. For example, his food and water bowls should stay in one place.

  • First and foremost, teach your new puppy daily routines.
  • Where his food and water dishes are located.
  • What times of day he will eat.
  • Where his bed is.
  • What time he goes to bed.
  • What time he gets up.
  • Where he goes to the bathroom.
  • Where his toys are kept.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that it doesn't matter HOW you teach each of these routines. It definitely does matter how you teach these routines.
If you use the right teaching method, your puppy will be better behaved and will be happy to let you decide what he can and can't do in your family.

If you use the wrong teaching method, your puppy will begin making decisions about how he wants YOU to fit into HIS life. That's a recipe for conflict and behavior problems. Always remember dogs are pack animals and expect you to be the leader of his or her pack.

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...
