Puppies can make very lovable and adorable pets but there are a lot of responsibilities involved. Not only do you have to ensure that you give it sufficient nutrients, you also need to provide a loving home in order for your puppy to grow happily and healthily. You also do not want it to become a nuisance in your neighbourhood. As such, it is essential that you carry out the necessary puppy house training, especially in the first few months when you first brought your puppy home. If you are wondering how to get hold of some useful puppies training tips to help you in your training, you have come to the right place. Below are 4 basic tips that you can use for a start.
1. Potty Training
The first puppy house training exercise that you need to carry is most probably potty training. This is essential because your puppy needs to learn where the correct place for it to eliminate its waste is. You do want it to soil your carpets and furniture so it is vital that you teach this rule right from the first day you bring your puppy home.
Before it leant the correct place to eliminate its waste, you must not let it go near your carpets or onto the sofa. When you are potty training your puppy, you have to be very patient and consistent. The best timings to potty train a puppy is after each meal. Decide on its potty place and bring it there after every meal. Do not get mad at your puppy if there are any 'accidents', give it some time to learn.
2. Training Your Puppy To Stay Alone Without Misbehaving
There will definitely be occasions when your puppy needs to stay alone at home so you have to train it to behave when there is nobody around in the house. You can start your training by confining it to an isolated area but do not lock it up in a small cage where there is not enough place for it to move around. Little puppies need to sleep a lot so do not feel bad that your puppy is sleeping on its own. Start by confining it for short periods each time and slowly extend the hours. You can prevent it from getting bored by giving it some toys to play with.
After some time you will be able to allow it to move around the house even when there is no one in but ensure that it has already been potty trained. Otherwise, you will come back to a messy home every day. Once your puppy gets used to being alone for a few hours each day, it will not suffer from separation anxiety. That is why it is important that you start puppy house training early.
3. Training Your Puppy To Socialize
In order that your puppy not become an aggressive pet, you have to bring out for walks everyday so that it has a chance to socialize with other animals and people in your neighbourhood. Very often you get to read about dogs behaving in aggressive manners to their neighbours. That is usually because the dog owners did not spend enough time carrying out puppy house training exercises for their pets. Remember that if you ever face difficulties house training your puppy or older dog, you should always seek professional trainer's help. Never give up on your pet.
4. Training Your Puppy To Obey Basic Commands
After you have trained the basic and more important rules such as potty training, food routine and proper behaviour when no one is home, you can go on to teach your puppy to obey some general commands like 'sit', 'heel' and 'no'. These are usually taught when your puppy is older. They are also very vital training rules if you do not want your puppy to misbehave when you bring him out for walks.
Once you bring your new puppy home, it is important that you start teaching it the basic puppy house training exercises as mentioned above. On the other hand, you must also not forget to show your puppy your love for it. Having a new puppy is a very interesting and fun experience for the whole family, so do not forget to enjoy the companionship of your new pet. Have fun!
