3 Proven Puppy Obedience Training Methods!

Everyday more and more people are bringing home their brand new puppies for the first time. Unfortunately, many people get sucked into those adorable puppy dog eyes and don't really have a plan in place to train their new dog. By having a training plan in place, you will have a more behaved dog not only in the interim, but for the entirety of its life.

Here are three proven methods to help you get on your way.

1. No Chasing! - From very early on, you need to let your puppy know that chasing after people or other animals is not on. It's extremely common for puppies to chase anything that runs away from them. This includes small animals and birds in your backyard, and friends or other people who will come and go from your house. Once your dog gets into this habit, it becomes increasingly harder to get them to stop. Because of this, the best option is to put a stop to it before it even begins. You will be thankful that you did, and so will your mailman!

2. No Barking - Arguably one of the tougher things to stop your dog doing is barking. The key to breaking this habit is a combination of again approaching it from the beginning and persistence. Always correct your dog if it begins to bark when it should not be. It's also important to note that their are times when you should allow your dog to bark, as this is it means of communication.

3. Over Protective - If you allow your dog to become protective of its belongings including it's bed, toys and food, this can be a very tough cycle to break. After your puppy is finished playing with a toy, go over to it and pick it up. The important thing here is to assert your authority and show your dog who's boss. By doing this you will avoid potential problems that could arise at a later date.

A combination of patience, persistence and application of these tips should help you get well on your way to having a trained dog.
