PUPPY TRAINING
Just arrived home with your new bundle of joy. If you are a seasoned dog owner or you are a newbie to having your new Canine companion we all need to start in the best possible way. the first consideration is making your new fur baby feel safe in the new surroundings. Remember the little one has just been removed from his/her litter mates and feeling scared and bewildered for the first few days the little one just needs love cuddles and reassurance.
PUPPY TOILET TRAINING
The default choice for most puppy owners is to break out the training pads and place them around the room, yes we need some pads for emergency leakages but the most effective way to train house clean is to simply take the dog into the garden every 30 mins to begin, gradually extending to 1 hour intervals. When puppy eliminates, we mark and reward. Never punish puppy for accidents-remember the rule ignore the negative reward the positive. Training to eliminate on pads can be confusing because we must train them twice, first on the pad and then in the garden so cut out the middle part and go straight for final solution. On average puppy will be house clean in 10 days.
PUPPY TRAINING GROUP CLASSES/SOCIALISATION
Puppy training group classes are a great idea to initially socialise your puppy with both people and other dog’s It can build confidence and social skills, a dog who is not properly socialised can suffer with unwanted behaviours later in life, for example reactivity or fear aggression. Also, it’s helpful to meet other owners and compare notes with each other. However, when your puppy is amongst a large number of other puppies it is very difficult to achieve success in desired behaviours as most participants will be focused on playing rather than learning. In most situations puppies will respond better in a one-to-one basis in the quiet of your home with no distractions.
