Ted and I have been trying to raise our puppy to be obedient. Much to our surprise, this process has been harder than we imagined. Our dog's name is Manny. He is a Puggle (Pug/Beagle). Manny has the tendency to push your buttons! He's so darn cute, that it's almost hard to get mad at him (not going to lie, we do have our moments).
Anyways, this week we have researched more of Ceaser Milon's dog training techiniques. In just a week, Manny is progressing in so many ways! Who knew he'd actually learn that his name wasn't "Manny, No." :)
The tips that helped us were:
1. Exercise, discipline, THEN affection (Top 3 important keys to raising your puppy).
2. When Manny gets overly excited or bites, we place our hand beneath his neck and push him on his side till he calms down. This works SO well!!
3. Always set your puppy up for success! Have a schedule of when he drinks, eats AND goes outside! STICK TO IT!
--Always have something for your puppy to chew on, so that he won't bite you!
4. Potty Training- DO NOT yell at your dog when he/she pees inside. Just clean it, clean it, and clean it again. This way he doesn't have the urge to go to the bathroom there again. Stick with the schedule potty time! In time, he will learn the times when he can and can't go potty.
--We have a bell on our door that we have manny ring before we let him outside. He learned this really quick! Now each time he needs to go potty, he rings it! Works Great!! (Remember to praise, praise, praise him when he does go outside)!
I'm sure I will think of more! Just a few tips for those who have new pups!
Happy training,
Kati
