Puppy Obedience - Training Commands

A biggest challenge indeed for any person bringing home a young dog would be puppy obedience training. You need to act responsibly and teach some basic things to your puppy right from the childhood.

Only then, you may expect your puppy to obey your orders and commands every time, both indoors as well as outdoors. You need to appear committed and patient in this endeavor and spend more time with your puppy.

Few commands for puppy obedience training are as below:

1.Always call your puppy by its name: Firstly, name your puppy as soon as you bring it home. Call the dog with that name in a clear and sweet tone a number of times until it starts responding to your call. Stay consistent while teaching him this thing. In addition, whenever you call the puppy, make sure to maintain an eye contact with him to reciprocate his actions. This obedience training method will help you to develop a good relationship with your puppy right from the start.

2.Teach your puppy to sit: Teach your dog to sit on your command. Here, it does not mean ordering it "sit" again and again. It is not a good way to teach him this way, since the dog is not familiar with your language yet and hence, will be in a mess as to what you actually mean by the command "sit". Puppy obedience training here calls for physically guiding your puppy into a sitting posture when commanding to sit. The trick is associating your command with an action. When you see the dog obeying your order and sitting, reward him with treats. It encourages the puppy to follow your command henceforth.

3.Order your puppy to come: Puppies are not always tied onto the leash. At times, when they are off the leash, you may find it hard to control them. Hence, when you tie your puppy on a leash, teach and order to sit first. Then, walk a little bit away from the dog and order it to "come". Pulling the dog to walk along with you is not a good practice. Avoid this by using the command come, which is great for Puppy Obedience training.
