TRAINING YOUR PUP.

Training starts at an early age for pups and spans short periods of time in the day.The training should be done when your pup is most active and dont try to rush too many lessons/tricks or you end up frustrated.There are 2 important words your pup must learn at an early age,these are his name and" NO".When you choose a name for your pet,he must learn it, this you do by calling that name and gently stroking the coat, then you move away from pup and call the name motioning him towards you. This is continued for a while until pup responds immediately,with that settled you move to" NO" COMMAND.When you see your pup doing what you dont like or what is naughty you shout "NO"firmly, and stop him from continuing the action and turn your back to him,then wait until he shows good behavior and praise him. Pup training on basic commands are essential to help you interact with your pup and ease everyday working activities,these training are for short periods a day about 10-20 mins at a time,but it must be consistent to get the pup used to the training.It will take at least 3- 4 days for the pup to learn new commands,but each will be reinforced as training progresses with other commands.The pup should wear his collar with a leash attached for easy control,but the leash is removed at the end of training. Teaching your pup "FETCH"; 1)sit on the floor 2)get a toy such as a ball,bone or newspaper,toss it around,up and down to get his attention. 3)then throw the toy a short distance and say "FETCH",encourage pup to go get it by motioning the leash. 4)when he responds praise him and bring him back to you using the leash. 5)do this once or twice a day for 5mins. The fetch command is so important and basic for pup training,as this will allow pup to be accustomed to your voice.The fetch command can be modified at anytime to suit owner's needs.
