First Week Puppy Training - The 6 Skills To Teach First - Professional Dog Training Tips

Getting a puppy is such an exciting time! Being prepared for that new four-legged family member is really important. The first week puppy training skills should be something that you plan for, just like you plan to have a collar, a leash, and lots of toys for your puppy. At our dog obedience training facility, we help over 500 dogs every week to become well behaved four-legged family members. We can quickly tell which pet parents have spent time with their puppies working on the skills mentioned in this video. The puppies who have done this training have a much easier time when learning more complicated skills, especially when working around common distractions. The puppy training we'll talk about in this video will teach your puppy to love learning, and these skills will help you to understand the value of rewards for your puppy. As your puppy gets older, you'll want to know what their FAVORITE reward is, so you can use it when they do an especially good job!

After getting our new 8-Week Springer-Spaniel puppy last week, he is already trained on recall, sit, stay, walk on leash, shake hand, fetch, AND SLEEPS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE NIGHT in a Kennel! we just need to get the biting and play nipping down. Thank you for your videos.

Lol this puppy is too good to even show as an example, my 2 month old husky is crazy and there’s no way he will sit like that for even 2 seconds

Got my new puppy last monday. Past that 1st week, barely. He's a nightmare, climbing stealing and nipping us and our other dog. He's very smart, just super hyper. I look forward to getting past these rough first few months. Gotta get these tricks down to get there!

Thank you. I lost my Basset Hound (of 12 years) last April. Then, I lost my GSD (of 11 years) last October. Just got a GSD puppy on Sunday. I can't remember anything. I'm so glad I found you!! <3 And now, I will have "Hippy Hippy Shake, " in my head all day!

I have been watching/rewatching since I decided to get a puppy.
Breeder was really nice to keep him for 2 weeks so I could finish leagues and big project at work. Told them the above and I wanted as many opportunities for positive feedback as possible the first 2 weeks.

Thanks for all your vids.
2.5 weeks, vet, groomer and family are all amazed how he listens and behaves.
Not perfect behavior but I dont expect it

Hi, I grew up with dogs but as I got older I developed allergies towards dogs that turned deadly (asthma attacks) so I have a 29yr old son & I felt so guilty that I couldn’t get a dog for him growing up. I receive allergy shots for 9yrs but unfortunately I’m still allergic but it’s much better now & they are better controlled. I’ve been thinking of getting a hypoallergenic dog and would love to get a male Bolognese dog, but having trouble in finding such dog🥺 I was diagnosed with MS in 2002 but to look at me you would never know. The main reason I want a dog its because I know how much a dog would help me & for the dog. A win win all the way around😊 I watched this video & it made me want a dog even more! You are very good & would love to learn more of your techniques but first I have to get my dream dog first. So I can apply your awesome techniques! Thank you! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos😊

I'm getting another Vizsla puppy, a female this time around, so excited to try all these fantastic tips!

It's lovely how the little puppy just sits there and listens. I just got a puppy just 2 weeks ago and she is smart as a whip, knew her name right away with no treats and looked me right in the eye. But because she is so smart, it's been the biggest battle of my life. Almost found her a new home as I thought there was something wrong with her because of her aggression. So, off to McCanns I go

[tracy]

Just got my alsation puppy shes adorable and these tips are fantastic I'm going to start straight away
