Dog House Training

The training should start for a dog in its earlier stage itself. Training a puppy is easier than training an adult dog. The first basic training is the dog leash training.

Initially you should train your dog to wear a collar. The collar should be of right size. It shouldn’t be too large to come out of its neck or it shouldn’t be too small tightening its neck.

There should be a gap of a thumb between the collar and the skin of the dog. On the very first day your puppy may feel it very disturbed and it will try its level best to remove it.

After a constant number of failures it will give up the try. In a few days it will get adapted to it and will feel comfortable. You have to wait patiently till this.

Then choose a leash to tie to the collar so that you can take your puppy for a safe walk. A leash is a lengthy rope that is tied to the collar in order to have the control of the animal.

You should now train your dog to walk over the leash. Initially it will try run away when you take it outside for the first time. You should make your dog understand that it can go only up to a particular distance.

It should be of enough length that your puppy should feel free to walk. Ignore bad behavior of your dog and never allow yourself to be pulled by your dog. You should stop whenever your dog pulls you.

After you stop walking make your puppy to come near you and then start walking again. If your puppy pulls on the leash again stop do the same again. This will frustrate your dog and it will not pull you.

Finally your puppy should come to the decision that it cannot go far when it is tied to the leash. Constant repeating will make your puppy to understand this.

You should practice your puppy walking on leash at least 5 minutes initially.

Training an adult dog also involves the same procedure. But training an adult dog is more difficult than training a puppy.

So start your training when you bring home your puppy.
