Time spent training your dog is time well spent. Many people have good intentions when they get a new puppy, and want to have a well-mannered companion that they can enjoy having in their home. Many dogs end up in the pound, due to lack of consistency on their owner’s part. When an owner is not consistent in training their dogs, they get frustrated and may give up on their pet.
Patience and consistency are necessary if you want a well-trained dog. If your dog is to be an indoor pet, you will need to begin house training immediately. This is best accomplished by setting up a routine of taking the dog or puppy outside as soon as it wakes up, within 15 minutes of eating, immediately after play time, and just before going to bed. When the puppy cannot be watched, it should be in a contained area–the best place being in a crate or carrier. If you do not have a carrier, then the dog should be contained in a small room such as a bathroom. Smaller dogs can be taught to eliminate on newspapers or in litter boxes by using the same methods.
Training your dog to wear a collar and walk on a leash is also important. Some dogs adjust quite easily to wearing a collar while others take a little more time. Putting the collar and leash on your dog and letting them drag it around can help them learn not to be afraid. The sooner this is done, the easier it is on your dog. After your dog has accepted the collar and leash, you can begin picking up the leash and encouraging your dog to follow you. Once your dog is walking on the leash comfortably, you can precede to teach it other commands, such as: sit, down, and stay. There are a lot of good dog training books out there to help you train your dog.
Remember, with a little time and patience now you can have a well-mannered, well-trained dog for life.
