Even Lassie Had Her Moments
Lassie! Now THERE'S a dog! If you said SIT, Lassie would sit. If
you said FETCH, Lassie would fetch. If you said PLAY DEAD,
Lassie would just about quit breathing. Why, you could just
imagine Lassie bringing you dinner each night, couldn't you? Now
THAT was a well-trained dog!!! Guess what? Lassie wasn't born
that way; she had to go through puppy training!
Puppy training is very important if you want a well-behaved dog!
You have to start training them when they are young and you have
to be consistent. Baby dogs are just like baby people; they
don't know how to do anything when they are just starting out.
You have to teach them and you have to be patient.
There are lots of new things your puppy needs to learn but three
of the most important things are it's name, the word "no" and
the word "good dog." Those words are the words you are going to
be using constantly during your puppy training period.
The puppy name is how the new puppy learns to identify itself.
She has to know when you are talking to her. She has to know
when you are calling her. She has to know her name!
You will be using the word "no" during your puppy training to
let the dog know that she is doing something wrong. If you
continually use different words to let the dog know she is doing
something she is not supposed to do, you will have one very
confused puppy. You have to be consistent in what you say so the
new puppy will understand what it is you are trying to say.
The same thing goes for the words "good dog." You will want to
say that to your new puppy every time she does something right.
Your new puppy wants to please you and you need to let her know
when she does.
Don't just scold your dog all the time and forget to tell her
when she has done something right. The two things go
hand-in-hand with your puppy training and you MUST be
consistent. Tell her "no" when she has done something wrong and
tell her "good dog" when she has done something right.
