Dog Obedience Basics:
Dog obedience training should
start even before you bring your
new puppy home. The person
that you purchased You new pet
may have already started this
process. Make sure you ask the
breeder or Humane
Society/Animal Shelter what type
of training, if anything at all, was
provided before your dog
came into your care. Is it Potty
trained? Can It Sit and Stay?
Does it know how to heel? What
training Words where used?
Until the age of 21 days, puppies
are like infants; they are only
able to find Mom, eat, sleep and
go to the bathroom. Anything else
is pretty much beyond their
abilities at this time. Sometime
during their fourth week, is the
crucial time to any dog obedience
training because this is when your
new puppy is more aware of his
surroundings. Any positive or
negative experiences that occurs
during this time will affect your
puppy for life, so make sure they
have a positive experience.
During this time, puppies can be
introduced to crate training while
still at the breeder’s or kennel.
Usually, a wire cage that is well
padded and large enough for the
entire litter, is placed in the
whelping box at this stage.
Newspaper is placed all around
the floor space, so that the dogs
can get used to sleeping in the
crate and eliminating on the
paper.
Dog obedience training at this
stage of the game is gentle and
supportive, and there is no
punishment. Breeders and owners
should take this time to play with
their puppies, and get them in
a group to slowly learn the
“Come” command, by quietly
saying the word, and praising
heavily when they do respond
appropriately.
Remember that timing and
consistency are the most
important things to remember in
the beginning of dog obedience
training. The lead (usually Mom
or Dad) trainer should be
planning, on a daily basis, when
and how to work on these
essential skills, and then perform
them at basically the same
time every day. Also, positive
reinforcement is necessary
immediately during or after the
pups have followed the given
commands, or else there is a
danger of the animals associating
the praise with something else
other than the intended action.
Give your dogs time to think
about their actions before you
react to them; especially at this
young age, where there are a lot of
distractions (like other puppies
for instance, or a grumbly
tummy), they may need a bit of
time to respond to a command
they
are learning. Be patient. However,
keep in mind that young dogs
such as these are not able to take
more than about 10 minutes of
training at a time, before they
lose attention. This is not only
appropriate for their young age, it’
s essential to their continued
learning. Dog obedience training
shouldn’t be boring - it should be
FUN !
Once you have accomplished the
more basic commands, make sure
when introducing more complex
concepts (such as Stay or Sit) that
you break down the skill into
small, bite-sized chunks. Start
with teaching Your dog how to sit
properly, before you ask him to
respond to the command, for
instance. It is very important to
use one word commands such as:
Sit, Stay, Down, Off. When you
use words like Sit-Down or Lay-
Down, this will only confuse Your
dog. If other families members
are involved with the training
and/or discipline, remember
everyone Must use the same
words or commands.
There is a magnitude of training
resources available on the
internet, pet stores, obedience
training facilities and professional
dog handlers. Shop around ! Find
out what is best for Your dog and
enjoy Your time together.
If your have any training
questions, contact us and we will
help you with your concern.

qualified Guide Dog user/handler

art of Dog Obedience. Over the
past 15 years he has helped a
number of people successfully
train their Canine companion.
The most important thing about
any training is to "Train the
Trainer", first and then you can
proceed from there. Remember...

Happy Dog ! "
