It is both rewarding for you and your pup when they learn because it can be quite difficult to train them if you are not up to the challenge.

There are many places you can go to for teaching your puppy. For one thing, obedience classes are available in many areas of the city so that you puppy knows what is right from wrong. It is highly recommended that you go enroll to these types of classes because it may teach you how to train them properly.

Many owners agree that crane training worked best for their dogs. Crates are considered a den for them. This is the reason why they do not choose to do their business in there. Many owners take advantage of this trait because it seems to be the one the works effectively.

Basically, crate training depends on the size of it. Before you purchase one, make sure that you know the proper size. It should be enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down, and move around for some space.

Every two hours take your pet out to do their business, and reward them with a lot of praises, treats, and some play time afterwards. Eventually they will learn that this is what they should do.

That way, your pet will listen to your command. When you feed them, it is best to have their food measured. Giving them more than they should have will make them bigger.

Many dogs are not trained properly so they are constantly barking at everything that they hear. In order for your dog to get used to the noise, expose them to it as early as you can. If they have been barking at it excessively, you can show them that it is okay. The moment they stop barking give them a treat.
