Training the human pup requires repetition of specific actions, consistency, and rewards when the pup completes a task.
One technique may works well with one pup, and another may works better for a different pup. This article presents you with a few ideas on pup training and how you can best take advantage of it.
Training can take different forms. For example, your pup can be trained to respond to canine commands and hand signals. This training is not any different from that done to a canine puppy.
The main goal is to change your pup’s behavior or reaction to fit the expectations of the trainers via positive reinforcement and authority. Your pup must understand that you are the “alpha” in their thought.
The Pup training must first give the pup a command, followed by a demonstration or physical aid to show the pup what the desired reaction should be and how to do that action according to the handler/parameters.
Short commands, ideally one word, should be used. If gestures accompany the commands, the movements should be simple so that the pup understands what is being asked.
It’s critical to keep your training sessions consistent and straightforward. You should also avoid talking with your pup while he is being trained. Maintain your pup in the headspace for the duration of the training sessions, and human dialogues can quickly disrupt this and render the rest of the session worthless.
When getting your puppy ready for training, it’s a good idea to develop a schedule. This ensures that they understand that this is training time and not playtime.
Limit training sessions to about 30 minutes. The pup can easily focus on training for the full period without becoming bored or exhausted. It’s also vital to avoid inundating your pup with too many new commands in one sitting. The commands you want your pup to learn should be spread over several training sessions.
If you want to successfully train your pup, ensure you reward them when they complete a task. Scratches, belly rubs, or goodies are some of the ways you may reward your pup.
When you give your pup the appropriate training, you’re invariably increasing the connection between you and them.
Pup training is vital for any handler-pup relationship; you wouldn’t want your pup behaving irrationally out there, so get it done. Your pup will be obedient if you train them right and the relationship will be better for it.
