It is Important to do Puppy Obedience
Not long after a puppy is born, the puppy obedience training can begin. The amount of respect and puppy obedience in training is determined by the actual owner you purchased from.
Research has shown that until they are at least three weeks old, puppies are not ready to learn at all. When puppies are born they know only of their mom, that they are hungry and that they need frequent naps. At this point the puppy elimination is controlled by reflex. This will change around the 21st to 28th day. They will leave the blanket behind and search for a place to eliminate. Now, dogs begin to gain an awareness of the environment surrounding them, and to respond more directly to external stimuli. Now is the time to make great strides in a puppy’s mannerisms and behavior.
Staying Positive Helps Puppies
While training puppies to obey, you need not use punishment to induce their readiness to please and do the right thing. Positive reinforcement and treats work best of all. Negative stimuli should well be limited to saying ‘no’ and blocking any negative actions from your puppy with your hands. You should not hit or otherwise hurt a puppy as it is counterproductive.
Puppies should receive positive affection and praises each and every time they correctly respond to a command. Puppies rely on love, praise and reward to keep them engaged in a training regimen. Alternatively, when given praise and caressed soon after a command is correctly executed, your pet will learn that following these things are fun and rewarding. Puppy obedience will also be developed as he learns that repeating proper actions will reap rewards. Praises and treats, when used as positive reinforcement, can enhance the training and encourage the puppy to respond to your commands.
Timing and Consistency
Timing is everything when it comes to puppy training. Your puppy’s capability to comprehend the trainings and lessons taught to him is related to your actions, corrections, and movements. It is important for puppies to learn that corrections are given for the action or behavior that is expected from him.
For instance, a puppy who’s chewing on a bone or toy in another room is unlikely to act in response to the command “come,” and if no one brings him to the trainer, he will learn that the command is the same as “ignore.He will find out that “come” means that he should head for the trainer and that it will also bring in the goodies if the puppy is told to “come” under controlled situations, like when he’s on a leash and is gently pulled toward the trainer then praised.
Teaching puppy obedience training can be done at home if you focus on one exercise at a time and keep your instructions simple. This will be a much simpler concept for the puppy rather than trying to teach them the whole exercise in a single session. If you are patient and use positive reinforcement, puppies will steadily learn over time to obey your commands.
