A fun and enjoyable experience is on the way. You and your puppy will have to learn the basic commands to become a team. For the puppy to turn into the dog you want him to become, he will have to be molded. An important step to bring peace into your house is to begin training your puppy.
Training with the Reward System
The reward system is the most positive method of training. Finding the right treat for you puppy should be fairly simple. Little cut up pieces of hot dogs treats are used most. Love and lots of praise is the other reward. Keeping it fun for yourself and your puppy is so very important.
The Training
Your puppy will learn to sit, down and heel as these are three basic commands. To keep control of your puppy, these commands will be very important. When your well trained puppy begins to listen to you, different social situations will be much easier to handle. The attention span of a puppy is not very long so keep the training sessions to around 10 to 15 minutes. As the puppy learns and grows, the training sessions can get a little longer.
Leash Training
Leash training your puppy will begin by holding your treats in your left hand and the leash in your right, just hold the treat in front of your puppy’s nose. Using your happy voice, say the puppy’s name, then say heel. As your puppy is walking beside you, begin giving him the food and lots of encouragement. If the puppy should stop, just continue to hold the treat in front of him and gently tug the leash. Eventually the leash and collar will not bother the puppy.
Teaching The Sit
The best way to get a puppy to sit is to hold the treat in front of his nose and then gently lift it over his head. Every time you practice this, use the word sit. The sit can be taught anytime, just take one or two minutes and practice it during a commercial.
The Down
To teach the down, start with the puppy in the sit position, show the treat to the puppy, then slowly lower the treat to the ground and then forward. Say down every time you start to lower the food.
If you stay consistent and patient, training your puppy should move along rather smoothly. Whether they pick it up pretty fast or if things seem to be going a little slow, just keep on going. What we’re after is for the puppy to do these things with all verbal commands. Just stick with it and the results will show up. A happy home equals a well trained puppy.

If you would like to know how to house train a puppy, then this guide will show you how. Specifically, we are going to talk about how long it takes to see results from the training, how to use the paper training method, and how to use the crate training method to make sure your dog becomes house trained quickly. When you have finished reading this post, you should know what you need to do to house train your puppy, and which method will be easiest for you to use.
The first thing to keep in mind when house training a puppy, is that you won’t see results over night. So make sure you don’t let yourself feel discouraged if it isn’t working instantly – be positive. It usually takes anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to see consistent results from your dog training efforts. However, most professional dog trainers recommend you stick with your preferred house training method for at least two months, to ensure your dog fully understands the routine. Creating this routine is the key to making sure the training sticks for life.
The first dog house training method we’re going to discuss is the paper training method. This method simply means covering your floor with paper, in the room where your puppy stays over night. During the night your puppy will relieve himself, and hopefully have nowhere to go but the paper. Over time, you reduce the amount of paper used to cover the floor, but your puppy should still relieve himself over the paper.
A more effective and easier method to employ for most dog owners, is the crate training method. This involves making sure your dog is comfortable being left in a crate over night. Remember that crates aren’t cruel to your dog. In fact, your dog sees the crate as a fun, safe place to be – full of his own toys and blankets.
The main reason why this works so well, is because your dog will simply refuse to relieve himself within what he considers to be his own space. While your puppy is in the crate overnight, he will not relieve himself – and when he is let out in the morning and taking outside, hopefully he will be ready to relieve himself. Over time, and with persistence, your dog will soon learn to go outside and not in your home.
In conclusion, I have shown you exactly how to go about house training a dog. In particular, we have covered how long it takes to successfully house train your puppy, how to use the paper training method, and how to use the crate training method. Now that you have finished reading this post, you have the tools you need to choose the best house training method for you, and you should be able to see some good results in as little as one week from now.
