Dog Obedience Puppy Training

Once a dog owner gets over the euphoria of bringing home a new puppy, they will need to then understand the importance of providing early and proper dog obedience puppy training to their new acquisition. It is necessary that you get your puppy to learn how to behave around people in the home as well as when they are around others and most importantly when they are in the presence of other animals. The fact of the matter is that puppies, though wonderful creatures, need to be trained which in turn can often be a difficult as well as arduous task. So, after you have brought home a puppy, you should expect that training him will take up a lot of your time and energy.

Dogs, just like humans, have temperaments and their temperament in turn will be affected by the birthplace of the puppy as well as his breed. So, before setting out with dog obedience puppy training you will need to take a little time to understand various dog breeds as well as their characteristics and personalities so that you are able to apply the correct training techniques and methods.

Certain breeds such as Rottweiler, boxers, bull dogs and German Shepherds are well suited as guard dogs and they also are born with in-born abilities to love as well protect humans. On the other hand pointers, gun dogs as well as Labradors are hunting dogs and so are very energetic. You need to consider these traits before beginning your dog obedience puppy training.

Dog obedience puppy training is also a very time consuming activity and so you need to set aside at least a couple of weeks before the training will start showing desired results. You will need to act patiently and put in a fair amount of effort though the good news is that you only need to spend a few minutes on a daily basis rather than spend hours on end.

You need to also begin dog obedience puppy training by starting with the process of teaching simple and basic commands such as ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘heel’ which are easy commands that every puppy can easily pick up very fast. Remember also that only after basic dog obedience training has been successfully completed can you then think about teaching your dog more advanced obedience commands. This initial dog obedience puppy training will help lay the foundation from which the dog can then be taught tricks and other acts such as guarding and protecting their owners.
