Your Puppy and Collar Training
Harshly disciplining a puppy is not training a puppy. When trained properly the puppy will find fun in training as if it is a game. Keep in mind that some dogs are naturally obedient, while others do not recognize a serious voice. Simply remain calm while being firm when repeating the necessary words; eventually the puppy will become obedient.
Only work for short times and always alone with the puppy. Since they have a limited attention span, you will need to stop when you realize it has taken all the training it can accept.
However, always try to end on a successful note, such as petting and praise and maybe even a treat. When a training session ends on a positive note, the puppy welcomes its next lesson.
Keep the puppy on a long leash during new lessons. It is be unable to get away with ignoring your commands or run off. Primary lessons for the puppy should be alone, so that there is no interference by people or other animals.
As he learns, he will gradually learn from this training to obey commands in any setting. In every circumstance, he must obey you, whether you are alone or on a busy street. Behaving in every situation is most essential in a well-trained dog.
For the majority of pets home training is adequate, however when the animal is older it will enjoy attending obedience classes. For the most part, this concerns fundamental obedience commands, such as Sit, Stay, Down and Come.
Some puppies take to a collar and leash naturally, yet there will still be others who will require patience to become comfortable while wearing. Give the time to get use to the guidance and restraint of a collar.
It is best to begin with a narrow collar, one which provides as little contact around the neck without being to loose as to come off while scratching or one that the puppy can back out of while on restraint.
You should repeat the word collar in a tone of fun and anticipation. Some puppies do not wear a collar while indoors. However, it does have benefits. For instance, putting a collar on first thing in the morning and removing it at bedtime suggests to the puppy that it is dressing for the day. Sometimes a puppy will bring a collar to its owner in the morning to let them know it is time to start the day.
On the other hand, a collar worn continually will aid a pet owner in being able to catch a collar of a puppy before it dashes away, much easier than trying to catch a hold of a soft silky coat. Remember the safety of your puppy first. Anytime you place a puppy in a fenced in area, make sure nothing can catch onto the collar such as protruding wire or posts.
