Puppy Training Starts With A Wagging Tail

Tail wagging is a way to tell if your dog is happy according to most vets. A wagging tail can be a way a puppy gets your attention.

When training a puppy successfully you have to secure your pet’s full attention.

A teaching exercise starts by you practising with your puppy that you are asking for his attention.

Sometimes another member of the family who plays with your puppy or feeds him his meals is the one who receives your pet’s attention.

One person only should give your pet his first training commands or you will confuse your pet and he will lose interest. Use toys to make training part of his playtime.

A high pitched voice will get his attention. Always praise him and give him a small treat, even when it is you that has become bored or impatient.

Show your puppy something he wants and then say his name and when he reacts give him a treat with plenty of praise, he will want to please you.

Playing and exercising your puppy after work or during the day will let him build up a bond with you. Keep him interested and let him know that he has done well. Remember to count his treats as part of his pet diet.
