Personalized Puppy Training Tips
When it comes to training your puppy, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each puppy is unique and may have different distractions that they struggle with. Here are some personalized tips to help you address your puppy’s distractions:
-
Identify the Distractions: Pay attention to what specifically distracts your puppy. Is it a certain noise, object, or movement? By identifying the triggers, you can work on desensitizing your puppy to them.
-
Positive Reinforcement: Use treats, praise, and affection to reward your puppy when they focus and obey your commands. This will help them associate good behavior with positive outcomes.
-
Short Training Sessions: Puppies have short attention spans, so keep training sessions brief to prevent them from getting bored or overwhelmed. Five to ten minutes a few times a day can be more effective than one long session.
-
Gradual Exposure: Gradually introduce your puppy to new environments, people, and animals. Start in a controlled and quiet setting and gradually increase the level of distraction. This will help them build confidence and learn to focus despite distractions.
Life Skills Program for Dogs Over 5 Months Old
If your puppy is already past the early training stage, the Life Skills program could be beneficial for both you and your dog.
