<h1>Puppy Training - How to Train a Puppy - Part 1 & 2</h1> by tcharles Part 1 - How to Train a Puppy.
I must have been asked this very simple question more times than I care to remember so lets cut to the chase.
In this example we will use reward based training for your puppy.
These techniques will also work with an adult dog.
<ul>
<li>Start the training as SOON as you have bought your puppy do NOT leave it a few days and then start training.</li>
<li>Remember that a puppy will have zero attention span - One minute he will be giving you those puppy dog eyes gazing at you lovingly and next he will be attacking your shoes.</li>
<li>Be patient - he's just a baby.</li>
<li>If you are working with an adult or older puppy/dog - remember you may be dealing with years of bad habits, and will take time to unlearn or undo these habits. Be patient while he learns your new rules.</li>
<li>You may find the initial training a bit tedious - but stick with it.</li>
</ul>
Ok lets get the environment ready for the training process - SUPERVISION
<ul>
<li>You are in charge - so get the environment right - this will tell your puppy/dog who's in charge and set the right tone. You don't want him to have the chance to practice behavior you don't want.</li>
<li>If your puppy/dog never has the chance to eliminate inside you are creating a positive, consistent education environment.</li>
<li>He will get into the habit of going outside to eliminate and you will reward him every-time.</li>
<li>You have created the environment so it;s up to you to make sure that he never has the chance to eliminate in the House/environment.</li>
<li>To prevent accidents - you need to watch him like a hawk - If you have a toy breed it won't take a second for him to pee - so I mean it watch him like a hawk.</li>
<li>For every accident that your puppy/dog has inside he is practicing behavior that YOU don't want - and you are both taking a step backwards.</li>
<li>Even a few seconds without supervision could set back the training process- I know it sounds daunting but it will work.</li>
<li>Once you have created your environment, it will become a habit for you to watch your dog and manage the environment.</li>
<li>You will be learning the routine together</li>
</ul>
Part 2 - How to train a puppy
In 'How to train a puppy Part 1' we discussed the importance of reward based training.
In this installment we will be introducing the Crate.
<ul>
<li>Why early lessons in your puppies life are so important in the crate training process.</li>
</ul>
Most puppies given the option don't want to eliminate near where they eat or sleep, however there maybe underlying reasons why they do...
<ul>
<li>If your puppy (before you got him) was left to eliminate in his crate at a particularly impressionable age he will undoubtedly continue this into adulthood.</li>
</ul>
This is a very important fact.
<ul>
<li>If your puppy was taken from his mother too early then he has missed out on a very early lesson - no-one taught him to be nice and clean - from an early age a puppy is licked by his mother so that they learn to keep clean.</li>
<li>Consequently, if no-one has taught him to be clean then he may think it is acceptable to be messy and to live in a messy environment.</li>
</ul>
Lets start from the beginning...
Introducing the crate.
<ul>
<li>The crate should be big enough for your puppy/dog to stand, stretch and turn around - don' buy anything bigger otherwise he may eliminate in his crate knowing that he can stay dry and comfortable.</li>
<li>As your puppy grows either get a new crate for every stage of his development or use dividers.</li>
<li>I have to emphasis this... It's very important that the crate is not too big - this may seem a harsh but as your puppy/dog earns more privileges (including space) the more he will know you are in charge and what YOU want.</li>
<li>You can use either plastic or wire crates - it comes down to your own preference. However...</li>
<li>If your puppy/dog is reactive to his environment and barks at everything he sees then a plastic crate (they normally obstruct the dog's view) would be more appropriate.</li>
</ul>
Where to put the crate.
<ul>
<li>Keep the crate where the family are - if you isolate your puppy/dog he may develop behavior problems due to a lack of socialization.</li>
<li>Don't keep chopping and changing where you put the crate. Remember that introducing the crate is all part of the training process-be consistent or you will confuse him.</li>
</ul>
The crate training process.
<ul>
<li>The crate is a wonderful housetraining tool for your puppy/dog - don't use it as a punishment - otherwise he will associate the crate with bad things and bad memories.</li>
<li>Put the crate where your puppy/dog is near the family - this is very important as your puppy/dog needs to feel part of the family not as someone sitting on the outside of the family.</li>
<li>Decide what you are going to use as the cue word for putting the dog in his crate and use this cue EVERY-TIME. Use something like "go to crate" or "go to kennel" or "go to bed". It doesn't matter what cue you and your family use but agree on a cue and everyone should use the same cue every single time.</li>
<li>Keep the cue word short and to the point.</li>
<li>When you can't watch your dog he should then be in his crate...</li>
<li>Going to work - crate your puppy/dog. Going out - Crate. Preparing dinner - Crate. Get the idea.</li>
<li>It may seem like allot of time your puppy/dog is spending in his crate but as he gains better control the more time he can spend out of his crate.</li>
<li>Make sure that the crate is safe. Don't leave any choking hazards or a collar on him in a wire crate or anything that it could get caught on..</li>
</ul>
I want to keep these 'How to train a Puppy' articles relatively short and digestible so will continue the crate training process in more detail in Part 3.
