If your dog is well trained, this will make your relationship with your dog more enjoyable, and this training will not affect its basic characteristics. This happy relationship built on mutual love, trust, and respect will endure forever.

Training a puppy early in its life can lay a solid foundation for a happy later life. You should spend some time during this critical period of puppy socialization to help your puppy get acquainted with his surroundings and get along well with other people and dogs. You should teach your puppy some basic commands. First, it should be trained to respond to its own name (preferably consisting of two catchy words), and second, it should be able to understand commands such as:

-- Come and Sit

-- Stop (standby)

-- Walk with the dog

-- Get down

Start Make sure your dog can understand his name before training, this will build trust between you and your dog. All family members should join this training program. Note that your commands must be consistent when training. You should give them these commands clearly, and at the same time, gently repeat the meaning of the commands to them, for example, when they sit, give them the command while gently pressing their hips to make them sit. Do this and the puppy will quickly understand what you mean. If it doesn't obey orders, it can withdraw its reward, but cannot punish it. Otherwise, it assumes that an order means punishment. Also, if your dog is afraid of you, training will not go well.

Training should pay attention to the following:

Start training your puppy as early as possible, because if it has developed some bad habits it is not easy to correct coming.

Do the exercises one at a time, in the correct order.

You should train your dog not to jump out of the car as soon as the door is open. The stop command can be used in this case.

Keep your voice happy and firm throughout all phases of training. Different commands use different tones.

A command should be given consistently and in the same tone of voice.

You must reward your dog for his success, and if he fails, you must keep the dog happy when you withdraw the reward, so give your dog some play time between training sessions.

Thereafter, you may want to add your dog to a training class to improve their training. Experienced trainers are there to help you overcome some of your training difficulties. This training session is fun and gives your dog some opportunities to socialize with other dogs.

Training dogs for indoor living habits

Pups are clean by nature and want to please their owners. Therefore, it is not very difficult to train dogs that grow up in normal indoor living habits. Puppies should be trained in excretion habits as soon as they are brought into the home (usually when they are 6-8 weeks old), otherwise it will be difficult to train them in this area in the future. We need patience and perseverance when training.

Because of their small bladder and bowel capacity, puppies require frequent excretion. If you have an enclosed garden, lead the puppy out and place it in a suitable place when it is time to poop. In addition, get up every morning, every night before going to bed, and after every meal, the puppy should be led to the same place outdoors to excrete. You should go with your puppy, stay with him when he poops, and praise him when he's done.

Sometimes you may not have the time to take your puppy out into the garden, so spread some newspapers indoors where the puppy will be around, preferably near the door. When the puppy needs to excrete, put it on the newspaper, so that the puppy will associate the excretion with the newspaper. Gradually reduce the amount of newspaper spread until the puppy no longer needs newspaper. You should also lay out newspapers for your puppy at night, as it is unlikely that a puppy will not poop all night. If you don't have a garden, you should train your puppies to poop in newspapers until they are vaccinated and can play outside.

If a puppy urinates where it shouldn't, don't blame it unless it's caught on the spot. If your puppy makes a mess, never press its nose into the excrement, as this will make it panic and frighten. You should clean up the dirt and then spray some deodorant, which will keep the puppy from using the area to excrete.

Pups should be taken care of when they are outside. You should learn to identify when your puppy needs to poop. Some dogs will circle in place when they want to excrete, others will sniff the ground. You can say things like faster and keep clean to them as they poop to train them to poop on command. Your commands should use the same words and tones, otherwise the dog will get confused.

If your dog is older and not well trained, you can use the same method. But older dogs don't learn as fast as puppies.

Notes on excretion training:

The dog owner is obliged to prevent the puppy from excreting freely, and if the puppy excretes in a public place, it should be clean up. There are some small shovels available in the store for removing faeces (for example, Espoo shovels)

Dogs should be trained to defecate as soon as they arrive at your home and should continue until successful (approximately in its 12 weeks - 6 months of age).

Try to get your dog to excrete regularly and plan diet and exercise accordingly.

Train your dog (to some extent) to excrete on command.

Recall and Sit training

If you are using food as a training tool, you can divide your dog's meals into portions. Have an assistant hold the puppy not far away at each meal. Then, you reach out for your rice bowl and call the puppy's name accompanied by a come command. The person holding the puppy should release it immediately after giving the order.

When the dog approaches his job, take a step or two back and encourage him to follow. Hold the bowl over the dog's head, call it by name, and give the command to sit. If necessary, use the other hand to assist it in this action. Praise the dog when he sits at you, then put the bowl on the ground and let him eat. Repeat the exercise after 10-15 minutes and feed it another portion of food.

This training should be done gradually, allowing the assistant to gradually move the dog further away until it is out of sight.

After the above training is complete, you can use an assistant to distract the dog when you are calling.

When your dog hears the call and can run to you for food undisturbed, you can take your dog outside for training.

To be on the safe side, put a 15-meter leash around the dog's neck to catch the dog back when it runs away. Now you can do the recall exercise from scratch. When you are sure that your dog can perform the come and sit commands undisturbed, it is time to remove the leash.
