Teaching Good Manners During Golden Retriever Puppy Training
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010One of the things you need to begin the moment your pup arrives home is golden retriever puppy training. But during your pup’s first couple of days in the house, training doesn’t need to focus on teaching specific tricks or other advanced lessons for that matter. The most important thing to puppies about eight weeks of age is socialization, a period in which your pet is introduced or exposed to other animals, people and other things he may ought to deal with later in life. Early experiences greatly influence a dog’s adult life so he ought to be correctly trained at the earliest possible time.
A well-mannered dog is a pride of his owner and a delight to everyone around. For your puppy to develop good manners, below are a few tips you may want to consider:
- Get your puppy accustomed to being touched or handled. Belly rub or stroking other parts of the body frequently can do the trick. A puppy that is used to being petted by human is not very likely to snap or growl when other people comes near. This act could also make grooming your pet easy.
- When introducing your pup to things, people or places, make each encounter a worthwhile one. In so doing, it will help him associate that certain thing into something good, not something he needs to be afraid of.
- Teach your pup to master the fundamental dog training commands like sit, stay, come and others. If your young pup knows all these, it won’t be difficult to make him behave appropriately.
- Fix behavior problems as soon as it occurs. Whether it be jumping or excessive barking, getting rid of it is one step towards a well-mannered dog. You cannot consider a dog well-mannered if he jumps or barks each time someone comes near him, right?
A dog with good manners isn’t only a joy to be around with. You can also be rest assured that everyone is safe.
