Puppy Obedience is Essential

Puppy obedience is something that starts suprisingly early in their development. 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.

Getting Puppies Started with Encouragement

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. Hitting or hurting is unnecessary for a young puppy and it should really be avoided.

Whenever a puppy does what you ask it to do be sure to shower him with a reward of affection and praise to reinforce this behavior. Puppies must be praised to avoid developing a sense of apathy with regard to obedience. After your pet does a command correctly and you praise and caress them, they will then learn that following these things are fun and rewarding. Good feedback and rewards are the surest path to puppy obedience. Using a positive reinforcement and a treat will strengthen the dog's understanding and increase's the dog's willingness to follow commands.

A Consistent and Proper Timed Approach

While puppy training, you should keep in mind that timing is everything. Your movements, actions, and corrections are related to the puppy?s ability to understand the lessons and trainings taught to him. It is imperative that pups learn to recognize that the corrections are given as a result of his untoward action and behavior and that it will not happen if only he did what was expected of 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. But 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, he will find out that ?come? means that he should head for the trainer and that it will also bring in the goodies.

Puppy obedience training is best taught in easy exercises, one by one. It will be simpler concept for your puppy, instead of trying to teach all the exercise is a single session. Bring your patience with you when you are training and use positive reinforcement. Slowly your puppy will learn to obey.
