Socialization and exposure to new experiences
Puppies should be exposed to various people, animals, and environments to help them become well-adjusted adults. This can include visits to different places, meeting new people, and interacting with other animals.
Positive reinforcement training
Using treats, praise, and toys to reward good behavior can help puppies learn quickly and build a strong bond with their owners. This method focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones.
Consistent and clear communication
Establishing consistent commands and using them in a clear and firm manner can help puppies understand what is expected of them. This can include using the same words for specific actions and gestures to accompany commands.
Establishing a routine
Creating a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and training can help puppies feel secure and understand what is expected of them. This routine can also aid in potty training.
Potty training
Establishing a routine for potty breaks, using positive reinforcement, and supervising the puppy to prevent accidents can help in potty training. Consistency and patience are key in this process.
