Pro tips for training your new puppy


By News Canada If you’ve recently welcomed a


puppy into your home, you know the trials and tribulations that inevitably come with training. These handy tips and tricks will help your new pet build the foundation to become a loyal and


well-mannered best friend for life. Positive reinforcement. The Pavlovian


method is a tried-and-true way to make sure your pet is learning from their good behaviours, as well as their bad ones. If your pet engages in good behaviour, make sure to


reward them immediately to solidify the positive habit. This includes times other than training, as pets will learn any time they’re rewarded or punished. Train with high-quality treats. Grain-free

exercise will make sure they are focused when training. Channel their innate energy into activities that make them stronger and tire them out for a clear mind during instruction. Body language. While our pets cannot


verbally let us know how they’re feeling, their body language can say a lot about their emotions and understanding. Learn to read the signs associated with canine body language for the most effective sessions. Consistency. Determine in advance which


behaviours will be rewarded. It might help to write them down. Once the guide is created, share with friends and family members. Staying true to this guide is essential to keeping your puppy’s progress on track.
