affectionate and loyal - it’s no mystery that Puppys prove to be a perfect pet, but owners need to do their bit to make sure a bond with their Puppys is nurtured and that the can be proud to take them anywhere.

There are a number of various categories of Puppy training and each one depends on the form of results you want or what type of Puppy you are training.

The usefulness of Puppy training, however, cannot be over-stated and whether you are training your Puppy to behave in your home or become a guide or emergency Puppy, it’s essential that you follow the proper approaches.

If you are shopping for a new Puppy or picking out a puppy, you’ll often come across the term ‘house broken’. This relates to behavioral training and is designed to teach your Puppy how to act at home and around family members and strangers.
Behavioral training can also assist Puppys to act in an reasonable manner with other Puppys and animals and requires the Puppy to understand basic instructions in order for them to acquaint themselves with the rules of your home.

Young Puppys can look cute, ...
... but can bring problems such as noisy barking and chewing sofas and other possessions. Behavioral Puppy training classes should eradicate such problems and also help in teaching your Puppy when and where to go to the toilet.

If you think that you and your Puppy have mastered basic behavioral training and you wish to take training to another level, then you should start obedience training.

Obedience training will come with more orders than basic behavioral training, such as ‘stop’, ‘sit’ and ‘come’. To help back up such commands, you will have to purchase a training leash. This will allow you to pull the Puppy sideways when giving the orders, but not cause them unneeded hurt. You should not get into the habit of tugging the Puppy’s head backwards sharply.
As the training goes on, the Puppy should be able to obey the instructions, without the requirement for any physical reinforcement.

Behavioral and obedience training can contribute in a big way to a friendly relationship with your Puppy and also give you peace of mind that your Puppy will know how to act around people and other animals.

Remember, Puppys are animals and will regress to an impulsive, wild behavioral pattern if not properly trained.

A significant number of owners may want to enter their Puppys into shows or even have them trained for a particular vocation, be it as a guide Puppy or rescue Puppy for a fire and rescue service.

Competition Puppys require loads of agility training, as well as being very disciplined. They will have to learn how to jump over hurdles and other pursuits.
During competition, owners or handlers are not permitted to reward Puppys with incentives or even put hands on them if they obey out a command, so the Puppy must be extremely disciplined as well.
You will find that some breeds of Puppys are more adept at learning such attributes than others and if you will be training a Puppy for competition, it’s important to find a breed which won’t be too challenging to train.

Training Puppys for a vocation is a very unique area and should probably carried out by a qualified teacher. Again, specific breeds of Puppys will be more suited to the intellectual and physical demands such training requires.
