The moment your pup come to your home, train him properly to avoid behavior problemssuch as jumping up on people or too much barking, and can teach proper behaviors, such as properly walking on leash.
Barking
It is consider an ordinary puppy behavior that controlling it is not easy, but if you begin when the puppy is young, you can teach it that being quiet or to stop barking on command is much more productive than endless yapping.
Never reward your puppy by giving the puppy attention or anything else it wants. Wait until the puppy is quiet, praise it, then give it attention, toys or treats. Usually, it is amazing to see how quickly a dog can find out that sitting politely produces more rewards than being noisy does.
Biting
Biting is another troublesome issue for a lot of puppy owners. Puppies don’t realize that your skin is a lot more tender than that of their littermates, especially if you encourage them to nibble on your fingers, arms or toes.
Biting can be a matter of life or death for a dog, so your puppy should understand by the time it’s 4 months old that putting teeth on human skin is never, ever safe to do. Make some kind of noise - OUCH! - NO BITE! - STOP IT! and stop playing with your nibbling puppy immediately.
It will positively works on a puppy that are quite sensitive. But sometimes pups that are hard to handle requires a much definite method. A puppy kindergarten class can be just the place to obtain that kind of guidance. Any time you have a puppy that can’t be discouraged from biting, seek the help of a trainer or behaviorist as soon as possible.
Chewing
Chewing is consider to one of the most destructive puppy behavior, however it also has a solution. The simplest way to do this is to train him with the give command. When your puppy learns early on to give up items graciously, it’s easy to take away items it shouldn’t chew on and replace them with canine chew toys.
Practice the give cue when the puppy is playing with something it likes but isn’t overly excited about. When the puppy let go of the object, praise it, you can give him a treat if you want, and let it have the object back. You can also teach the puppy to let you open its mouth. After a puppy grabs something valuable to you or dangerous for it to have, you won’t have time to get something to exchange for the forbidden item.
