At Home Dog Training is a great way to get started training your puppy to do basic tasks. The simple commands need to be taught when you bring the animal home and they should have them down pat within the first few weeks. Basic commands such as sit and stay need to be the first commands you focus on teaching your new puppy. There are many ways to train a puppy. It’s important to find out what drives your puppy to comply. Is your puppy excited by praise? Do they need treat rewards? Or, are they prey oriented dogs? Large dogs tend to be prey oriented and new rewards like playing with a prey type toy. Smaller dogs tend to be either praise oriented or food oriented and are more responsive by receiving treats or praise. Always reaffirm good behavior with verbal praise.
