When you think about home pet training puppies, your first thoughts, and rightly so, are about training your puppy to go to the bathroom in the appropriate places and to leave your home free from urine and feces. However, there is more to training a dog than just teaching them to go outside when walked. You also have to train them to treat your home with respect and to behave for you and around anyone that may come into your home. A dog that feels his people are in charge is a happy dog, and a well trained dog is a delight for any family.
Home pet training puppies means teaching your pup that they are safe in the crate while you are away from home. Anyone who has gotten a puppy and then gone off to work with the pup free to roam the house soon learns that this is a huge problem. Puppies that are left alone in a new home (or even in a home they know well) can get lonely and may howl and whine – and rip the house to shreds. Dogs love to chew and bite, but they have to be taught when these things are appropriate and that your clothing, shoes, furniture, and drapes are off limits. A dog in a crate can not do these things.
A dog in a crate may also feel more secure because they are not left in a wide open space. Home training puppies to be in crates can be hard at first, but it is a must for a well behaved dog and a sense of peace while away from home. You will not worry about your dog while gone, and you know you can take them places too, because they can go some places in a crate they can not go on a leash. If you love to travel by air, they will have to be crate trained. Find a good training book to help you with this task, as it can be hard and trying for both the dog and the person doing the training.
Respecting you and our family, as well as any guests you have in your home, is another part of home training puppies. Young dogs love to bite, as it is just part of their nature. It is just like a human baby in that they do not know what they are doing is wrong or that it can hurt. They are just doing what feels natural. You do not want your dog biting you or your children, nor do you want them to bite anyone while you are walking them away from home. Nip the biting in the bud early and teach them the appropriate time to play.
Though it may seem like a security issue to have your dog bark when someone knocks on the door or comes near the house, but this is not something you should have your dog do unless you are not home. Every single noise they hear will trigger loud barking, which is going to be annoying to you and your neighbors very quickly. Part of home training puppies is to teach them early on that you do not need warned, but instead should be protective of the home when the family is sleeping or when you are away. Most pups can learn this easily and quickly, as long as you get a good training guide when your pup is very, very young and/or when new to your home.
