Chicken Coup

One of the most exhilarating things that will ever happen to you is bring a puppy home. It’s like expanding your family.

Despite that, it will take some effort to make your little doggy listen to you.

Although many claim house training a puppy isn’t as difficult as house training a full-grown dog, consider the following before starting to teach your puppy.

Traditionally, one uses, among other things, a lease or collar along with some manipulation to teach the puppy fundamental orders.

These measures can, however, become somewhat mean sometimes and even hurt a delicate kind of puppy.

More rugged varieties of dog including German Shepherds or Bulldogs, this could be the way to go.

With a Poodle or a Chihuahua on the other hand, more lenient approaches like handing out rewards or treats to the little dog, if follows your orders, and revoking them, if he does not.

Locking him up in with the dog gates, should he persist in ignoring your orders, is also an option.

If the dog refuses to be taught the easy way, that is with awards, then being stricter and moving to the lease or collar approach might not be avoidable.

A very common approach to the collar method is having the dog sport an electronic collar around his or her neck, while brandishing a remote control in their own hand

Should he disobey your orders, press the button causing the collar to give the dog low-voltage shocks.

Since these shocks do not possess much power, no physical harm will be inflicted upon your puppy, however, he will not enjoy the shock therapy and start obeying you.

Nevertheless, the best way of making yourself understood is to invent a language both you and your dog understand.

Say words like yes, no, good boy bravo…etc to make your sentiments known to him.

Though it will create a lifelong bond between you and your puppy lasting your entire lifetimes, this might demand quite a bit of patience and a considerable amount of time at the beginning.

After you have been able to teach a hard-to-train puppy, you have the right to call yourself an expert in canine obedience training.
