Introduction

If you’ve just brought home a puppy, then congratulations! You’re about to embark on an adventure that will bring you years of joy and heartbreak. While it might seem daunting, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. In this article, I’ll give you some tips for training your new dog that will make your life easier as well as help build her confidence and obedience skills so she can become a happy member of your family.

Introduce your dog to the crate.

Introduce your dog to the crate.

A crate is a great tool for training and keeping your dog safe while you’re not around. But it’s important that you introduce it to your puppy slowly and make sure she is comfortable in there before leaving her alone for long periods of time.

Introduce the crate to your puppy when she’s young and let her explore it on her own terms at first, then help her get used to being in there by putting food treats inside and closing the door just for a few seconds at one time before opening it again so she can leave if she wants (this will help prevent accidents from occurring). Once she seems comfortable with being inside the crate, try closing the door for longer periods of time without letting her out until she figures out how fun playing gets when someone leaves something fun behind like food!

Use praise to reinforce good behavior.

Reinforcing good behavior is the most important aspect of training your dog. This can be done by giving your dog treats, petting them and praising them for doing so well. It’s also a good idea to use toys as a reward for your dog when they do something you want them to do.

Once he’s calm in the crate, take him for a walk and then come back home.

Finally, you can let him out of the crate. However, this is not a time to let him run around inside your home like he owns it! You should still keep him on his leash as you walk around the house so that he doesn’t get any ideas about jumping up on furniture or chewing anything he shouldn’t.

When he does well, reward him with praise and treats.

When your puppy does well, reward him with praise and treats. This can be done by giving him a pat on the head, a hug or kiss and saying “good dog!” as you offer him his reward. It’s very important to reward good behavior immediately after it happens. If you wait too long to give him his treat, your puppy may start to associate the treat with something else in his environment that happened before he got it – like hearing you say “good boy” while making dinner – instead of associating it with when he did something right!

Get him used to wearing it for short periods of time, such as when you’re eating or brushing your teeth.

The first step in training your dog to wear his collar is to get him used to it for short periods of time. This is important because it will help you teach him not to pull on the leash and also not chew on things he shouldn’t be chewing, such as shoes or furniture.

Here’s what you can do:

  • First, put the collar on your dog while he’s sleeping or eating something tasty like peanut butter (if he doesn’t like peanut butter then try some bacon grease). After a few minutes, take off the collar before removing any food from his mouth with a spoon or fork. Make sure that every time your dog gets something out of his mouth and into yours without pulling on the leash, reward him with another treat!

Make sure that you stick closely to his feeding schedule, and feed him in the same place every day.

  • Make sure that you stick closely to his feeding schedule, and feed him in the same place every day.
  • Always make sure that your dog is hungry before you feed him. You should also not let them eat too much or else they will get sick!

Your new puppy is going to be calmer and more obedient after following these tips.

Your new puppy is going to be calmer and more obedient after following these tips. Dogs are happiest when they’re well trained, so once you’ve started training your pup, you can rest easy knowing that he won’t be getting into much trouble (or laundry). He’ll likely have the respect of other animals and people on the street as well.

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped you understand how to train a dog. We know that it can be overwhelming to take in a new puppy, but we want you to remember one thing: your puppy is not an adult just yet! If you are patient and consistent with your training, he will learn all the things he needs to know before being let out into the world on his own. And don’t forget about those treats—they’ll make sure he stays motivated!
