Bringing a new puppy into a home will mark a change in your life. A puppy has a variety of different behaviors and it is essential that an owner understands how to control these behaviors. Below is a guide to puppy behavior with some essential tips that may help both owner and dog.
1) Introduce Puppy To Other Dogs – Introducing your puppy to other dogs is essential in the early days. Without early introductions, dogs can grow to be wary of other dogs and even show signs of aggression to other dogs out of fear. An anxious or scared dog may bite other dogs which certainly emphasizes the benefits of early puppy socialization. Always introduce your dog to other dogs in a controlled environment.
2) Introduce Puppy To Other People - Like introduction to other dogs, puppies should be introduced to a range of people as early on in their life as possible. This will ensure your puppy grows up enthusiastic around people and full of confidence and helps ensure your puppy does not grow up to show fear or aggression around people.
3) Start Good Habits Early - Your puppies good habits should be encouraged and rewarded from the first day. It is far better for a puppies learning to reward a puppy for good behavior than it is to punish a puppy for bad behavior.
4) Train Early - Puppies can learn behaviors, habits and tricks off you very easy. It is essential to teach your puppy appropriate behaviors from early on as it is often a lot harder to remove undesirable habits and tendencies when dogs get older.
Remember, start right from day one. These are just some of the basics of puppy behavior. If you stick with these suggestions, you will be well on your way to raising a confident and friendly dog.
