New York City-based pet expert and puppy trainer Andrea Arden shares helpful, unique tips for training a young pup from the get-go.
It’s important to waste no time in getting your puppy enrolled in classes or in a training regimen at home. This prevents pups from developing undesirable habits.
"Sometimes what happens is people get very frustrated when puppies direct their puppy energy and their need to chew on things like their fingers, their clothes, their hair, their furniture," Arden explained. 3. Teach hand targeting foundation behaviorThe top five foundation manners are sit, stand, lie down — plus impulse control and hand targeting for pups.Hand targeting takes the basics of"sit" a bit further. Arden called it one of the more important behaviors to teach.
"A really good puppy parent goes into raising a puppy knowing that these are behaviors that will happen. They’re all normal."These sorts of"pushy pants" behaviors, as Arden called them, are a puppy’s way of investigating its space and testing boundaries. So teaching thoughtfulness and patience before acting is a good way to curb bad behavior.
