“How do I keep my puppy on my property? My yard isn’t fenced.” Teaching a puppy anything is easy using the lure/reward method. That is using the lure to indicate the required action and rewarding the pup when he complies. We start with using food and within 12 – 20 repetitions we switch to a toy or activity. The preliminary step to boundary training is a solid sit/stay. You will be asking for stay in the process of training pup to respect the boundary so begin training sit/stay anywhere you happen to be – kitchen, living room, yard.r

Leave it! Gimme that! No! “Oh You…!” Get down! Supposing I were to tell you that the simple task of training your puppy to do all of the above could be accomplished by training him to understand that the word ’off’ means all of those things? Would that save you frustration and stop your yelling at the small creature who doesn’t speak English? OK, then. Let’s train your puppy to leave it whenever he hears his name and the word, ‘off’. 1. Get down at pup’s level. 2. Put a treat in your hand and close it to a fist. 3. Hold your hand in front of pup’s nose. 4. Say nothing.r

Puppy crate training is easy especially if you begin training your puppy the day you bring him home. Buy a crate big enough to allow puppy to lie down, stand and turn around inside it, but not so big she will be inclined to use it as her toilet (Dogs do not like to toilet in a small living space.) If your puppy will grow to be a big dog, find a crate with a moveable divider. Otherwise, you’ll need several crates from puppy to adulthood. Put a washable pad or folded old towels in the bottom of the crate.r

Start training your puppy to walk on a leash as soon as you get him home. You don’t need a leash to begin… in fact, I recommend you simply teach him to follow you off leash.r

Training your puppy to like everything… people, big and little, old and young and all manner of things…bikes, skateboards, vacuum cleaners, big trucks, coffee grinders, mixers, hats, big bags, masks, big dogs, tiny dogs, umbrellas, hats is not really ‘training’. It is exposure. It’s super important that you begin immediately – as soon as you bring your puppy home.r

Training your puppy to ‘come’ when you ask is not simply an issue of obedience. It can also be a matter of safety and certainly it is a big part of good manners in a variety of circumstances. Certainly if you and your dog frequent off-leash dog parks, walk on off-leash trails or in the woods, you will want her tot come when you call either to go home or just to check that she’s okay and still within earshot.r

It used to be that puppy training was a haphazard affair until puppies reached five or six months of age. In fact, from time to time, I still hear that theory promoted. New puppy owners grumbled about in-house accidents but accepted them as part of bringing home a new puppy.r

Crate training puppies is as easy as 1—2—3… 1) Buy a crate 2) Put puppy in crate 3) Shut the crate doorr That’s it, right? I sincerely hope NOT! Puppy crate training is easy. Buying a crate is Step One. Let’s start there. The crate needs to be big enough for puppy to stand up and turn around in but not so big that he’ll be inclined to use it as a puppy toilet. If you have a puppy who will grow to be a big dog, plan to have several crates of increasing size during the first year. Put a washable pad or folded old towels in the bottom of the crate.r
