Puppy Training – DIY

OK so your new puppy has just arrived home right now he’s so cute and adorable and everything he makes, small slipups are vey tolerable. But he won’t remain a puppy for long and all those behaviors will be carried throughout his lifetime if not properly guided. This is why early training is very necessary. This will make life easier for the rest of your family and will make your puppy a very lovable part of your home, especially if he doesn’t chew, poop anywhere and destroy you furniture and leave dirt marks everywhere.

The best way to train a puppy is through a non-violent approach. Using lots of encouragement, praise, and rewards to guide him through proper behavior.
One thing to keep in mind when training your new puppy is to understand that you are dealing with a very immature your animal. Always be patient, realistic, flexible, and fair during puppy training. Your fluffball may not get it right away but just be patient as he is still learning.

So I have put up a simple checklist of essential steps you and your puppy should take in order for him to become a well adjusted and trusted member of the society.

  1. Puppy House Training
  2. Puppy Potty Training
  3. Puppy Crate Training
  4. Socialization
  5. Controlling Excessive Barking
  6. Coping with Separation Anxiety in Dogs
  7. Stop Puppy Biting or Mouthing
  8. Leash Training
  9. Simple Obedience Training
  10. Correcting Behavioral Problems
  11. Clicker Training
  12. Puppy Feeding

These are the essential phases that encompass proper training for your puppy. But if you feel you don’t have that much time you can always enroll him to a great dog training school. We will discuss more of the specifics in later posts as we have very much to talk about these phases of early puppy training.
