Start Training Early:
The earlier you start training your puppy, the better. Begin with simple commands like sit and stay.
Use Positive Reinforcement:
Encourage good behavior with praise or treats. Punishing bad behavior is not effective.
Be Consistent:
Use the same commands and be consistent with enforcing rules. This helps your puppy understand what is expected.
Puppy-Proof Your Home:
Keep dangerous objects out of reach and supervise your puppy at all times.
Crate Training:
Introduce your puppy to a crate early on for safety and comfort, but don’t use it for punishment.
Socialization:
Expose your puppy to different people, animals, and situations to help them become well-adjusted adults.
House Training:
Use positive reinforcement and a consistent schedule to teach your puppy where and when it’s appropriate to go potty.
Exercise:
Puppies need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and burn off energy. Aim for 30-60 minutes of playtime daily.
Teach Basic Manners:
Teach your puppy basic manners like not jumping up, not biting, and not pulling on the leash.
Be Patient:
Training takes time and patience. Don’t expect your puppy to be perfect overnight, but with consistency and positive reinforcement, they’ll get there!
