I am getting a new puppy what would be the best way to train him?

Answer 1

If you have a Petsmart in your town they have puppy training

Answer 2

Rewards for obedient behaviour.... low-level aggression and a stern attitude for disobedient behaviour.

Thats the long and the short of it.
You don't necessarily need special treats... but often they help.
Aside from that.... just make sure you show them clearly that you're pleased with them when they do things right..... and that you're blatantly displeased when they do things wrong.

And they WILL get it wrong a lot.... not least because at least early on, getting positive attention will make them start bounding around like idiots and forget everything they learnt.


There is another important note though....
One thing dogs realise that most humans never do is that there is no absolute right or wrong.... When you think you are teaching a dog not to do something... what you are actually teaching the dog is not to get caught doing it. As such... it is also important to let the dog know that you are effectively all-seeing and all-knowing.... and that it will ALWAYS be caught. This can be a tough one... but it typically involves surprising the dog by catching it doing bad things when it doesn't know its being observed. Its best not to be too harsh about it though or the dog may become paranoid.

Answer 3

Go to a puppy kindergarten training class. You will learn all the basics and advice on house training.

Answer 4

If your talking about house breaking I found that using a cage large enough for them to move around works great. Dogs normally will not potty in their territory.With a puppy you need to take them outside alot. Try to feed and give water at the same time every day. Good luck. My dog still loves her cage. She goes there to get away from everyone when she needs a break.

Answer 5

With rewards and kindness. Also a stern voice when he does a bad thing. Not though, smacking his nose or other physical punishment.

The puppy will soon learn that by doing right he gets a choc drop and/or a fuss, and a bad thing just gets a low voice and no treat.

Answer 6

Positive encouragement, through play. Give him the ball or pet him or whatever he likes when he does something good, ignore him when he does something bad.Never punish him and NEVER beat him or hurt him physically (like choking him with a collar etc). Not just for humane reasons, but you must not ruin your relationship of trust and make him react and get fierce.
For toilet training, you need to take him out a lot for the first months, so that he gets used to do it outside.
For other commands, like come, sit, etc, you wait until he does that by himself (he is bound to sit down at some point), and then you praise and reward him. When you see he has realized that the specific action brings him some reward, and he does it to please you, teach him the command that goes with the action.

Answer 7
