There's
so much to teach a new puppy that is hard to know exactly where to start.
You know
the truth is, you can start with a whole bunch of different things, but today I
think three things that you should start working on with almost any new dog or
puppy immediately ties pretty extreme puppy, Vita, we need to give them
something to do with all this energy can't wait to see how he experiences his
very first part we have a space themed bar Fox this month.
He loves
his face grow it back send you so many awesome, often unusual toys and treats
for your dog and they deliver them to your door every month.
Within
this bark boxes way more interesting than my flesh, which one you want next is
discovered that she wrap though he's a been a real hit with the dogs.
Lately,
he's got such drive the play, unable to hold them in his being good.
Now that UFO has magical properties. See what
countries we have this month flying saucers next high quality ingredients of
these.
These are
cool to examine a real fluffy texture. A lot of toys have different textures as
well and texture really matters to a dog. All of our foxes. Edibles are made in
the US and Canada and for some reason your dog didn't like something in their
box or Fox will replace it for free every one of you is can you get a free bark
box when you sign up for six or 12 month subscription to bar Fox.
com/dog
training have a link in the description below the other day when Tiberius was
over here. It was clear that he did not like being touched by me doing any
civilized sometimes.
Tiberius
really doesn't like being handled as evidenced by my finger already today, but
since Tiberius is going to grow up to be a very large Rottweiler.
We have to get them a lot more comfortable
with getting touched by people you could see this so normal puppy behavior by a
lot of dogs but we gotta get him tolerant and desensitizing your puppy or any
dog being touched is a great place to start when their nickel to make them much
more tolerant of being picked up like this and imagine from a puppy with slight
safe.
What you
what you are doing.
They don't understand fingers and how things
grab them like that and understand the purpose of that nor do they want to
necessarily be restrained or held since I know that Ty is likely to react less
than ideal when I go to pick him up.
I want to be one step ahead of let them know I
got some good treats here to let them nibble on it see that this is good.
Now start
to make progress so I'm just kind of touching right here releasing a little bit
of that tree as we go was very nice, works good.
Working on the touches pause right here and
get it touches here see that and so what were trying to do here is get that
positive associations with being touched.
In other
words, if he knows every time I hear gets touch like this for my sensitive feet
get touched like that.
I'm
getting something really good things a lot more likely to be tolerant and
accepting of these things operate there.
See his
like what was that I was weird right I mean were really touching kind of
vigorously now I'm able touches year right here and try the other ear, which is
much better when you're not biting me.
I really appreciate that Paul is being sweet
now spoke too soon.
I guess
by nature puppies again invite you that if you think market things get into you
and you know what resolving all these issues requires you to be really good at
getting your dog's attention on you promptly and reliably not you might choose
when our dogs do stuff like this are instinct as people very often is to
physically get them to stop.
And
sometimes that's necessary. Maybe it's for their safety or because we don't
have time at that particular moment to focus on training, but understand that
when you physically are pulling your dog away or making them do something that
you're actually teaching them teaching our dogs to think should be a top
priority.
For
example, we know Tiberius likes this squirrel here right, maybe I don't want
playing with that toy at a particular moment.
Maybe I
would prefer that he pay attention to me.
I got a couple of choices here. I mean I could
pull a toy away from getting say hey pay attention to me, but again that's not
to teach them anything.
The real trick to teaching a dog is to get
them to do whatever it is you want voluntarily and get them to go through the
actions of leaving the toy alone and pay attention to you.
Treats
are our friend come to let them know I have this. It's normal for redirecting
your dog like this to be a pretty clumsy process with a brand-new puppy as they
likely don't understand this whole concept of communicating with you just yet.
It'll be like that for the first few days
there. He still wants a yes good job and sit yes good job. What happened there.
We got
him some voluntarily go through the motions of leaving the toy alone and come
over here and pay attention to me, that's where it starts is called redirecting
your dog and it's something you have to get really good at, especially with a
puppy.
So we'll
get back to the toy there and again he Tiberius to get his attention off the
toy over here into a six. Nice work. That's how you redirect your dog.
Let's say
you're holding them biting on you like that you don't want to buy me look at
that piece is ready to get me. You see that so he's biting on my arm right now
we get his attention on this toy seat.
Toys can also be a great way to redirect the
point is you want to get your dog's attention off of something that they are
interested in that you don't want them paying attention to at that moment with
something that they like and toys and treats are often a very good way to
accomplish that.
So when
your dog is doing something you don't like us are barking at something outside
were there chewing up your furniture or you just want their attention on you.
Rather than scolding them work physically correcting them very firmly get
really good at redirecting them and you'll find that this is many many times
more effective.
Everybody wants her puppy potty trained as
soon as possible, but the real secret to house training success is letting your
puppy out all the time.
Fewer
opportunities your dog has to have an accident in the house and the more
opportunities they had to go where you want them to go.
Ideally, outside the faster house training is
going to be sure you're letting them out hourly when there is young as Tiberius
is, and 2 to 3 times overnight.
And when
you're potty training puppies like this you just have to be patient.
They just
lie down starting leaves.
I can't grasp were allegorical on the keep
your expectations realistic with potty training. I mean, remember, it's not
intuitive for dogs to know where it's okay to go where it's not okay to go.
