Here are some helpful tips to teach your puppy how to walk on a leash without pulling or tugging:

• Find a comfortable collar or training harness. Do not choose a collar or harness that is too tight or too loose.
• Let your puppy wear the collar or harness around the house until he gets used to it. This may take a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days. But eventually, he will get used to it.
• Hook the leash up to your puppy and let him get used to it also. If he doesn’t seem to be bothered with the leash, he’s ready to go outside to be trained. If he’s afraid of it, try to comfort him, but keep the leash hooked up until he knows the leash is not a bad thing.
• When leash training your puppy, your goal is to keep slack in the leash. If your puppy keeps the leash tight by pulling and tugging, then he’s not properly trained yet.
• The easiest technique is to just start walking. If you puppy starts to tug or pull on the leash, give it a quick little tug, then turn and walk in a different direction.
• When you start to head in the opposite direction, don’t drag him along. Wait for him to catch up. As long as the leash is not tight (the leash is slack) then you can keep walking.
• As soon as the puppy starts to tug or pull at the leash again, give the leash a quick little jerk and turn around again.
• Repeat this process until your puppy understands that he is not taking you for a walk, but you are taking him for a walk.

Puppies and dogs love going for walks, and should be exercised frequently. Walking a dog who is constantly pulling you along is no fun. If you follow these simple tips when your puppy is still young, you and your dog will have countless enjoyable walks for years to come.

It’s important that dog owners do not encourage bad dog behavior. Dogs jumping up on people is one of those behaviors that people often inadvertently encourage. Sure, it’s cute when the dog is still a puppy, but when Fido grows up, the cuteness is gone and the behavior can be annoying or dangerous.

As a responsible dog owner, you must train your dog that jumping up on people is not acceptable behavior. Training your dog while he is still a puppy is obviously best, but even older dogs can learn to behave.

The techniques to teach your puppy or dog to not jump on people are quite simple.

First, when the puppy or dog jumps up on someone, gently place his feet back down to the floor. While he is standing there, praise him for staying down. Never praise him while he is still standing up on the person.

Second, if you’re puppy or adult dog tends to get so excited that he can’t seem to control himself, give him another way to show his excitement besides jumping up. Get down to his level and teach him to shake, or spin around, or something that will let him release some energy.

As with all dog training techniques, the most important thing you can do for your dog is be consistent with your dog training methods. If you have a family of four and you are the only one teaching your dog to not jump on people, he will be getting mixed messages. Everyone in the family must discourage this bad dog behavior, and encourage the expected behavior.

And if all else fails, and your dog absolutely, positively must have a hug… just lay on the floor and give him one. He’ll love you for it.

You might dream of having he best trained dog in the world, but it all begins with house training your dog or puppy. When your dog can let you know that it’s time to relieve himself, you know you’ve done your job. So how do you house train your puppy or dog? Here are 20 helpful tips:

• First of all, we highly recommend crate training  your puppy.
• Be patient with your puppy. Most puppies do not have bladder or bowel control until they are about 6 months old.
• Start house training your puppy as soon early in his life as possible
• Until your puppy know that outside is the expected place to go potty, provide an inside potty area covered with newspaper or some type of absorbent materials. When your puppy soils the paper, always replace it as soon as possible.
• If you can not supervise your puppy, keep him confined to the potty area, which should be a small room completely covered with the newspaper material.
• When your puppy starts to get older, make the newspaper area smaller. He will realize that the newspaper is the area to soil in.
• It’s important to always provide easy access for your puppy to get to the potty area.
• While at home, take your puppy to the potty area often – about every 45 minutes.
• While not at home, keep the puppy confined in his puppy-safe area. Remember, puppies like to chew things, so remove any tempting items from the room.
• When your puppy pees or poops in the designated area, always praise and reward him.
• Establish a regular feeding schedule for your puppy. Do not provide a non-stop supply of food. This will assist in developing regular bowel habits.
• When just beginning, your puppy will not be on a peeing or pooping schedule, so don’t expect him to have one immediately. It takes time. It may even seem like he never stops!
• Consider crate training your puppy.
• Never punish your puppy if he has an accident. This will only make him afraid and he will not understand. Never put your puppies nose in his pee or poop. Sniffing pee and poop is how dogs recognize their scent. Don’t make it a punishment.
• Don’t let your puppy have free reign in your house until he is properly house trained.
• Be consistent with taking your dog outside to pee or poop regularly.
• Eventually, you will be able to remove the paper potty area from your house, and your puppy will understand that outside is the only acceptable place to pee or poop.
• Don’t be discouraged if your puppy seems to be making progress, then seems to suddenly forget what you’ve taught him. Minor setbacks are expected.

Above all, remember that your puppy does not want to make you made by urinating or pooping in your house. If he does, it’s only because he doesn’t understand. As his master and friend, he is expecting you to train him on what is acceptable and what is not.

The saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” isn’t actually true, but it’s usually easier to train a puppy than it is to train an old stubborn dog. One reason is that a puppy doesn’t have any bad habits yet. Another reason is that you are starting from scratch, and your puppy training techniques will be the only techniques your dog will learn.

Before you begin attempting to train a puppy, keep in mind that puppies are easily distracted, and usually don’t have a long attention span. Most experiences are new experiences for a puppy, so opportunities for distractions are everywhere. Because of this, you should keep your puppy’s training sessions short and rewarding in order to make this new experience a positive “new memory” for your puppy.

It’s important to allow the puppy plenty of time to play and socialize with other puppies and dogs. Socialization training is vital to making your new puppy a good canine citizen, as dog aggression is a growing problem in many areas. A properly socialized dog learns how to play nicely with other dogs, and overly aggressive play is punished by the other dogs in the play group.

Play learning is something that happens among siblings in litters of puppies. When puppies play with each other, they learn what is appropriate and what is not. Inappropriate behavior, such as hard biting or scratching, is punished by the other puppies, by the mother dog, or both.

Unfortunately, many puppies are removed from their mothers and sold or adopted before the puppy has learned to socialize. Play sessions will play an important role in any good puppy training program.

Introducing your puppy to new experiences and new locations is also an important part of puppy training. Teaching your dog to be obedient and responsive, even in the face of many distractions, is very important when training dogs and puppies.

One great way to socialize your puppy both to new people and new dogs is to take it on a trip to your local pet store. Many major pet store chains, and some independent ones as well, allow pet parents to bring their furry children, and these stores can be great places for puppies to get used to new sights, sounds and smells. Of course you will want to make sure the store allows pets before heading over.

It is important for puppy owners to structure their pet’s environment so that the puppy is rewarded for good behaviors and not rewarded for others. One good example of this is jumping on people. Many people inadvertently reward this behavior because it can be cute. While it is true that jumping can be cute for a 10 pound puppy, it will not be so cute when that puppy has grown into a 100 pound dog.

Instead of rewarding the puppy for jumping, try rewarding it for sitting instead. This type of positive reinforcement will result in a well behaved adult dog that is a valued member of both the family and the community at large.

This type of reinforcement can also be used in potty training the new puppy. For instance, teaching a puppy to use a unique surface such as gravel or asphalt is a good technique. The theory is that the puppy will associate this surface with going potty, and therefore be reluctant to use other surfaces (like your kitchen carpet for instance) as a potty.

These are just a few tips for training your new puppy. Please browse our site for additional dog training techniques.
