5 IMPORTANT Tips For Small Breed Puppy Training!

In this video, Instructor Lauren will talk about some really important leadership steps for puppy training with her Jack Russel Terrier puppy named "Shark Bait";). Often people overlook important leadership choices with their small breed puppy simply because their puppy is smaller than other dogs. Making mistakes like this can actually have an impact on your puppy's listening skills. You'll often hear us refer to "relationship" on our YouTube channel. Being a good leader for your puppy is arguably THE MOST IMPORTANT part of establishing and maintaining a good relationship. This video will talk about some of these decisions that Lauren is making, and we'll show you exactly how to include these things in your own small-breed puppy training!

I am sorry but this video is about any size dog training not specifically small breed dogs. It would be greate to learn from you what is better for small dogs: collar, harness, gentle leader, leash lenght? Leash walking technique for little leash pullers, leash reactive dogs. Should i stay or seat on the floor while training small dog? Couch jumping? My chiweenie had troubles learning "down" command because she is already low to the ground and had no need to follow my hand with a treat luring her to lay on the floor. Crowling under leg technique helped in her case after trying all others. Small dogs and their owners behaviour around big/bigger dogs even friendly ones and children who like to pet? Bring your small dog to the dog park or safer do not? That's just what came to my mind but i'm sure there is a lot more. Anyway thank you for the video!

More small dog training videos. We have a pup papillon and it is hard to find good training videos. Thanks!

Every crating video I’ve seen makes it look so easy. Just once I’d like to see someone show the actual agony of trying to ignore your dog while it’s yipping up a storm.

You make me remember when the first time I got a puppy. And have no experience in training dogs. It's used to a very hard time for me. He didn't listen to me, he's chewing, he's digging all the time, he's bad behavior...

But now everything changed. :D After train with good/right ways, Now He's an obedient and well-behaved dog.

Thank you! Getting a small dog this week. I’ve always had bigger dogs. Lots to learn.

[SoggyHotDoggy]

I feel like one of the first things people need to learn when it comes to dogs is that as cute as they are, as much as you love them, you should be careful that you aren’t outright coddling them. I’m watching my gf’s puppy turn into a little monster, and he’s like five months old. I’m about to start working with him myself just cause I don’t want him to be a terror

Jack Russel Terriers are the supreme overlords of the dog world. Could not imagine being without at least one Jack Russel in my life. Best breed ever. Jacks don't know how to be miserable. "Shark Bait" is a hilarious name. Love the content as always guys ! It's so important to get these things right as soon as puppy comes home and save a load of hassle later on. Great points at the end about small dogs. SO MANY people forgot small dogs are still dogs and need the same rules, especially smart little Jacks (who are big dogs in a little package).

"sharkbait"!? You guys have some of the most unique names for your dogs. 😁

Can confirm on the supervise thing lol 🤣
My dog from when I got her (5mths) to about 10-12mths would be on a leash with me and still occasionally will do it (she's now almost 1.5yrs) and it helped alot and when I'm out she's kenneled and it helped so much with training (along with other aspects) because there are 4 other kids, 2 adults, 2 other dogs, and 2 cats and she's a mal x lab it helped her with those distractions:]

Getting our first puppy in 4 weeks. Binge watching your videos. Thank you

[cgovier]

Wow! Thanks for the video. I am getting a Parson Russel Terrier in a couple of weeks. I had no idea I had to downsize the treats. The ones I have been using for my adult Westie has been just fine.

Thanks for the video! I have 6 months old Papillon pup and it has been a hard time since we used to own bigger dogs when I was little. Thanks to having a good kennel I learned quite many things that you could also make a video about. For example, how to discipline (especially pups with an attitude) or even cut their nails is to put them on their back on your lap between legs (have to be careful with their head and neck), they usually calm down then and it's easier to handle it and it doesn't hurt them at all. One thing I discovered is that my pup didn't pull the leash to go forward but stayed back and always checks behind, thanks to this channel I got it better with just regular training. I think it's also an art to get your small breed's dog's attention outside and keeping your back healthy since they are so small. Another thing that is harder for smaller breeds is teething, I did have to have a doctor's appointment to remove some baby teeth because sometimes they are just not coming out and I know there are some tricks to help with it. It would be also cool if you taught some tricks to teach for small pups and how appropriate they are for the age, I know that until some time their bones are developing and they shouldn't get too much exercise or jump down from too high.
Looking forward to your next videos! Thanks again for everything you share!

I usually tell this to my those who purchased my book: "When you are walking and working in a rhythmic leadership mode, you have clearer thinking and a sharpened mindset that ignites your purpose, passion, and priorities."

[ashleyhilbert]

Excellent video! I am past the puppy stage now and i can see how all these things could have helped me ❤

[daynalefebvre]
