Agreed, dogs are mans best buddies and his most faithful companion. However, this is not their inherent nature. They need to be trained to have these qualities. Hence whether you are talking about that lovely newborn puppy or a friendly old neighborhood dog, they are not familiar with the rules of the house immediately.
Do you have questions that you need to ask about your puppy? Whether a new puppy or a problem that you are having with your puppy, this article can answer any questions you have concerning teaching your dog new things.
It can make you so aggravated at your dog when he does the thing he should not do, and that is only the things that you know about. You could imagine what else might be happening.
Remember always keep your cool. Dont think that the dog is acting like this purposely in order to annoy you. It is doing this because that is the only thing it knows or needs more teaching or a reminder on things are acceptable and those that are not.
When dealing with puppies, it is important to know that people should train them as soon as they arrive in their new homes. Nothing over the top or real demanding on the new puppy. Something real simple like small 5 minute lessons, you should repeat them continuously until the puppy comprehends what is is you want from him.
You have to remember that every single thing is brand new to the dog, so there is a bit of a learning curve involved. Hopefully you got your puppy from a reputable and reliable breeder so the dog has a strong foundation from which you can teach him all the lessons he has to learn.
In lot of ways, it is similar to bringing up a child, though in a far shorter period of time and hence the name doggy years. But the method you use to bring up a puppy teaches it much more than the simple sit down and stoop, it will help him respond better to external situations.
Of course, the fundamentals such as potty training should be taught at home. However when your dog goes outside, he could be more friendly and more brave. This way he doesn't act crazy later on, similar to the way that a lot of dogs behave when they see a different person. The sooner you can begin, the better it will be.
