Here are 5 Puppy Training Mistakes to Avoid

Getting a new puppy is exciting. They are so cute and cuddly, you just can’t tell them no. However, you do want to start right away with training.
Don’t worry, we’re not talking about yelling at your dog, we’re talking gentle and humane dog training.Training a puppy can be a challenging undertaking. It takes time, effort and patience to have a dog that is attentive, obedient and wants to please you. A dog that is well-trained will not bark incessantly or get out of control when strangers or other dogs approach it.
It all starts when they’re puppies. If you train them right when they’re young, they’ll grow up into good dogs that you can be proud of. Many people do their best to train their dogs but often, it takes them longer than they predict and their dogs’ behavior is inconsistent at best.

1. Failure to Encourage
Encouraging your dog is very important and makes it want to please you even more. When your puppy does something right, lavish it with love, attention and verbal encouragement. Do maintain calmness while encouraging your puppy. Some owners get overexcited and hug and roll around with their puppy as they squeal with joy. This will just overexcite the puppy and cause it to lose concentration. Encourage your puppy sincerely and calmly. It needs to know that you’re pleased with its actions.
