There are many factors involved in training a puppy effectively, you can’t just care for their physical needs. A puppy will also have emotional needs, showing them lots of love and affection is part of it but it does not end there. You need to learn about normal behavioral patterns and what type of training will result in a positive response from your new little companion. If you do your research and use proper training methods you will certainly see good results for all your hard work and have a friend for life.
Dogs would like you to believe that they are not really furry people. In fact they are not, but majority of them like, perhaps even pleased, to be treated as human beings. If you are one of the people, you will have a comfortable place to relax, delicious food to eat, and can demand attention and get it. And that is what most these dogs get and perhaps even in bigger measure than humans! And the pudding is, they have all the luxuries but absolutely no responsibilities ” what a life!
Many people feel they should treat dog like humans and for the most part this is o.k, however it is not reasonable to think that they will behave like people. Having a pet can be a joyful experience and many people find comfort in these lovable companions, but it must be kept in mind when training your puppy that they are just that ,animals. They are very different from people, they act on instinct and they do not have the ability to think nor reason as humans do.
Dogs don’t know the meaning of words and only if you teach them the meaning of a word, they will understand it and not before, even if you attempt repeating the word loud and clear. It would be better for you to remember that they do not know meaning of words unless you are able to associate the word with its meaning a number of times. For dogs all languages are Greek! So expecting them to understand the language they have not been taught to understand and respond positively is not only foolish, but extremely unfair. When trying to teach your dog your language, you also will have to learn the dog’s language.
Puppies need guidance and discipline. Without it, they follow their natural puppy instincts. They will eat anything that smells good. They will chew on anything that feels good. They will roll in anything that smells bad. If you know what to expect from an untrained puppy, you will be better able to help your dog through obedience training. You will be able to give your puppy appropriate outlets for his natural energy and instincts.
During your training, you’re sure to encounter a situation where you give your dog a command he has mastered and he looks up at you as though you are speaking gibberish. The specifics of when and why training regression occurs are not as important as handling this situation correctly. If you expect regression to occur sometimes, you will be prepared to deal with it and help your dog become less confused. Sometimes during training you will make mistakes, and so will your dog. That’s normal and perfectly OK; find the lesson in each one.
There are different hypotheses explaining the reason for learning regression in the puppy training process, or in any facet of life. Among the most popular of these is that regression takes place while the brain is transmitting data from short into long-term memory storage. Regardless of the cause, you can take advantage of it and see it as the training opportunity it really is.
