Social your dog

Puppy training and puppy play – the importance of socializationby Brigitte SmithPuppy training is of vital importance, whether you are training your first puppy or whether you are a seasoned pro.  Appropriate training and social for your puppy is an essential element in making your puppy valued member of your family.Training a puppy is often significantly easier than training an adult or adolescent dog.  One reason is that the puppy is mainly a "blank slate", privacy by earlier training techniques and other issues.  Another more indirect reason is that you probably more inclined to spend more time and have more patience with your new puppy than you would for "news" is worn away from something.  And the tendency to be human nature have more patience with young (dogs and humans), since we know that they are inexperienced in life, and they are usually eager to learn.In other ways, however, a little puppy can more difficult to train than an older dog.  A challenge for training a new puppy is easier distractible than older puppies dogs.  Everything is new in a puppy, and each new experience provides a new opportunity for distraction.  Therefore, it is best to hold education sessions map when you are working with a puppy and exit each training session positively.It is also important to allow puppy plenty of time to play and interact with other puppies and dogs.  Socialisation training is vital in order to make your new puppy canine good citizen dog aggression is a growing problem in many areas.  A properly socialized dog learns how to play correctly with other dogs, and overly aggressive games be punished by the other dogs in Group Play. this type of play learning is something that happens among siblings in litter puppies.  As puppies play with each other, they learn what is appropriate and what is not.  Inappropriate behaviour, such as the hard biting or scratching, are punished by the other puppies by mother dog, or both.Failure to properly socialize can be a major problem with your dog, and it is an important reason to always buy from a responsible breeder and never take your puppy home before he is 8 weeks old.  A large part of this important socialisation experience occurs in recent weeks with hvalps mother and siblings.A responsible and experienced breeder at this and will never allow that potential puppy owners take puppies at home until 8 weeks of age, but it is still very important and useful to pay attention to yourself.Unfortunately, many puppies removed from their mothers and sold or adopted before this socialization was fully.  In these cases, even more than ever, puppy play sessions that you initiated a very important part of any puppy training session.  Most good puppy preschool education programs give time at each session for this type of dog interaction.Introduce your puppy to new experiences and new locations are also an important part of puppy training.  Teaching your dog to be obedient and responsive, even over many disturbances are very important when training dogs and puppies.  A great way to socialize your puppy both new people and new dogs is to take it on a trip to your local pet store.   Many large pet store chains and some independent and allows pets parents to bring their furry children, and these stores can be great places for puppies to get accustomed to new sights, sounds and odours.  Of course, do you want to make sure the store allows pets before the heading above, and you will also keep the fairly short, both for your puppy's sake, and in view of the pet store staff visits.It is important for puppy owners to structure their pet environment so that puppy rewarded for good behavior and not rewarded for others.  A good example of this jump on people.  Many people reward inadvertently problem, because it can be sweet.  It is true that the skip can be sweet for a 10 pound puppy, it would not be so sweet when the puppy has grown to a 100 pound dog.Laugh at your puppy, or attention any him over the head when he jumps up, will be interpreted as a reward for your puppy — he will learn that he gets attention from you, when he is doing this.  So be very careful not to confuse your puppy.  There are two strategies for undesirable behaviors – fixed to say "no" to your puppy, and/or ignore the problem completely.  For "Repeat offenders" works because the method is best, as it is possible that your puppy will be interpreting attention (even you say "no" to him) as a reward for behavior.  Vice versa, of course, good behavior is rewarded immediately (either with treats or simply with lots of attention and nonsense-says "Good boy" in a very positive tone of voice and stroking your dog at the same time is often just as well received as processes).  This type of positive reinforcement will result in a very well-behaved adult dog that is a member of both the family and appreciated by the community as a whole.Positive reinforcement method can also be used in new puppy potty training.  Teach a puppy to use a unique surface such as gravel and asphalt is a good technique.  The theory is that the puppy will associate this surface with ongoing potty and therefore be reluctant to use other surfaces (like your kitchen carpet for example) as a potty.  Many puppies can, with a little patience, easily trained to use the same spot for toileting. This is a great technique, as it will train your puppy to go "on command", and it will save you having to search through the back yard when cleanup after your puppy.(c) 2005, Brigitte Smith, healthy happy dogs
