Little puppy training
Some people are afraid to start training a small puppy for fear of “depriving him of his childhood.” Are these concerns justified? Is it possible to train a small puppy? And if yes, how to do it?
Is it possible to train a small puppy
Of course! Moreover, it is necessary. After all, it is much easier and more effective to initially teach a pet the correct behavior than to correct mistakes later.
As it is, many will be outraged. After all, this is the deprivation of a puppy’s childhood! No no and one more time no. Education and training do not overshadow the puppy’s childhood in any way. Of course, if they go right.
And the correct training of a small puppy is carried out exclusively in the game. And very short sessions several times a day. With the use of the reinforcement that the puppy needs at that particular moment.
How to train a small puppy
Actually, in the previous paragraph, we have already partially answered this question. However, this is a technique. And what is the best way to start training a small puppy, you ask. We answer.
The puppy can be introduced to the nickname. And also to teach to switch attention from food to a toy (and vice versa), from one toy to another. You can start practicing the call. It would be nice to introduce the puppy to the targets, which the baby will touch with his nose and paws. Train to go to your place and make this place attractive in the eyes of the pet. Accustom to the collar and harness, slowly drive on a leash. Teach hygiene practices.
In general, there are a huge number of opportunities for raising and training a small puppy. It is important to do everything correctly and consistently, without the use of violence.
If you can’t master the training of a small puppy on your own, you can seek help from a specialist who works by the method of positive reinforcement. Or use a video course on raising and training a puppy with humane methods.
