Hey everyone! Today, as the title states we are talking of puppy’s! Go ahead and get all you ooh’s and ahh’s now folks cause it’s time to train a puppy.
We’ve all wanted or had a spouse or child, maybe even a roommate who wanted that magical Disney experience of a having a puppy. I recently just got one myself and well, they can be a menace. It’s hard doing your everyday work and your well, everyday, everything with a puppy. Picture for me, if you will, a hungry, teething infant with legs that runs at the speed of light and poops everywhere and heck, my puppy even cried when I fell asleep at night for a while. It’s hard work to train and rear a puppy especially if you have children or other pets. So to help you out I’ve decide to post some of my favorite methods here to make it simpler and remember 9/10 times if you miss the training window. Your house will never be quite as clean as before. So, take training seriously but I know after a long hard day with your feet hurting and just exhausted when that puppy seems to get into everything it’s will seems easy to just kind of forget to constantly train them.
Crate training: Crate training is a form of potty training, the way it goes is puppy’s do not waste where they lie so while your out puppy your puppy in their crate. Fill it with toys and food and water and a few bed things. Take them out before you put them up and right when you get back. If you work then this is a phenomenal method of training.
Spray bottle: You ever noticed when a puppy is about to get into something and verbal commands don’t work but hitting their nose just seems to harsh with those big puppy eyes? Well try a spray bottle just squirt them with some water and it stops them pretty quick.
Verbal training: For verbal training pick a few select words, such as “Outside” say it as you take them outside every thing time. Over time your puppy will associate the word with well outside. Then they will be able to respond and let you know if they need to go. Other words like “inside”when you bring him in, or, stop when you squirt him when does something bad. But consistency is key.
