More Puppy Training Tips.

Dogs don't learn the way we, humans, do. They're different from us and we need to apply different methods when training them. The principle of right or wrong is not something we can base our training on. Instead, they learn from your reactions to their actions. If their actions lead to a bad response from you, then they know that what they are doing is wrong and will avoid that type of behavior.
If your puppy does something right, he should be praised for it. If he is listening to what you say and doing well, you should reward him with a treat or praise. It's a powerful puppy training device. On the other hand, if he isn`t listening to you or doing the total opposite of what you say, you shouldn`t reward him at all - but instead scold him with a stern NO.
When training your puppy, timing is the most important factor. You shouldn`t wait to correct him. Doing so may send the wrong impression. When he's doing something wrong, you should (for the training to be effective) correct him right then and there, so he will know without a doubt what he is expected of him. For instance, if your dog is chasing cars you obviously want to stop this habit before it gets out of hand. The moment you see him doing this, you should always stop him and let him know he`s doing wrong. This way, he will know that chasing cars is something he shouldn`t be doing. It may take some time for him to realize this, and you`ll need to hold your ground and continue to correct him until he learns.
The same applies to praising and rewarding. When you see your dog doing something right, you should praise him instantly. If you don`t praise him instantly and instead wait until he has stopped, he will assume that you are praising him for stopping. To be on the safe side and get the most from your dog, you should always praise him when he is behaving in the right way, and correct him when he is behaving in a negative way. That's the main principle of successful puppy training.
Training your puppy doesn't happen overnight. It's a process that requires taking your time and exercising your patience. If you're prepared to do it, you shouldn`t have any problems training him. The training may take quite some time, but it's really worth it. Once your puppy is trained, he will react to your commands, and will not do the things you have corrected him for. Training is vital for any puppy if you want to have a good and obedient dog you can be proud of.
