Miss Squeak Some Training Tips For Your New Puppy!

   Some Training Tips For Your New Puppy !

So you have your new little fur baby , do you have 
all the things your new little puppy needs for the next few weeks , training pads food a safe place for her or him to sleep a blanket and a few soft toys too play with, When I got Mildred I was so excited to get her it was like I was getting a new real baby I had everything you could imagine .
So here are Some tips and tricks I used to get me through the first few weeks I hope they help you out ! Now lets get to it .


Teach him the rules. Your dog won't know the rules when you bring him home. It's your job to show him what to do and what not to do. Is it OK to sit on the furniture? How about overturning the garbage can? Make it clear.
Teach him to sit, stay, and come when you call him, and walk on a leash without pulling. Say things like "good boy" when he does what you want him to do.

Praise good behavior. If he waits at the curb instead of running 

into the street, for example, reinforce the good behaviour with a 

quick "yes" or "good" at the exact moment he does what you want.
Set up a reward system. Reward behaviors you like. Don't reward 

behaviours you dislike. Always use immediate consequences.
Rewards can be simple, like a doggie treat or a good belly rub. Or 

they can be special, like playtime with doggie pals or a game of 

fetch. To teach him not to do something, ignore him or take away 

things he likes. For example, if he jumps up on you when he wants 

to play, show him it's not OK by turning away. When he sits down, 

shower him with attention.


Ward off biting. "Many puppies try and play with their new 

owners' hands and feet in the same way they played with their litter

 mates -- with mouthing and biting,"  You'll have to teach him it's 

not OK, so don't allow any type of biting or nibbling on people, 

even during play.But if your puppy does bite you, yelp loudly,"  If 
he continues to mouth or bite you, step away and ignore him for 30 to 60 seconds. That will teach him that biting makes playtime end, so it should stop the behaviour.

Give him appropriate things to chew on. "Remember, puppies need lots of things to chew on,"  Give him appropriate toys that he can mouth, like chew toys. Leave lots of toys around so he doesn't feel the need to play with your hands or ankles.
Playing along when he chews on a toy as it  will feel extra fun to him and reinforce proper chewing.

Teach good manners

When your pup is polite, everyone benefits. Train him to sit when guests come to the door instead of jumping up to greet them. Teaching him to sit will keep him calm when guests arrive, It may help to keep him on a leash. I have done this with my fur baby 
Miss Mildred !
Too much barking can be a nuisance. Ward it off by teaching him when it's OK to bark and when it's not. Try using a stern "no." It may also help to get rid of or minimise the cause.

Meeting Other Dogs

Introduce him to other dogs
The perfect time to have your puppy meet other dogs is when he's about 2 to 4 months old. That's the sweet spot when most dogs learn to accept animals, people, and new places and experiences more easily.
Puppy play dates and puppy classes are a good place to start. Stick to places where dogs are healthy and vaccinated. "Dog parks need to wait until all the shots are done,"
When your puppy meets another dog, it's best if they're both on a leash. That will give you and the other dog's owner better control of the situation. "Allow the two dogs time to smell each other,"This is their way of getting to know each other." Praise him when he behaves well.
Go slow.
 Don't worry if your puppy doesn't jump right in and play with other dogs. Many puppies are reserved and need time to transform from wallflower to social butterfly, Klein says.
Follow your puppy's cues. "If he doesn't want to go, don't push it," Klein says. Give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. "The most important thing is that every socialising experience be a pleasant one, with no scary moments."
Doing all of these things not only teaches the puppy and helps build a beautiful bond between you and you new fur baby I really hope some of my tips and tricks are of some help to you new fur baby !
Receiving your new fur baby can be the most rewarding gift in your life and its important to give your new fur baby a positive start so as it can learn to behave as you would want it too.

Common Mistakes Dog Owners Make !

    ..Common Mistakes Dog Owners Make..

Here are a few common mistakes dog owners make without even knowing that they are doing so. I hope some of my tips help you out with your fur baby. Lets start now !

Tip 1 Letting Your Dog Walk You
A poorly trained dog will pull you over while you’re out for a stroll. according to the authority, tens of thousands of individuals end up within the ER each year attributable to pet-related falls. several of those falls occur throughout walks -- either once someone trips over a dog or is force or pushed by one. specialists say obedience coaching is the best way to certify your pooch doesn’t take you down throughout the morning walk.




Tip 2 Not neutering or Spaying Your Pet
Millions of cats and dogs live on the road or find themselves  euthanised due to unwanted litters. Still, many folks are reluctant to unsex or neuter their pets. the actual fact is, neutering and spaying could be a healthy alternative for your pet. It reduces the danger of breast cancer in females and testicular cancer in males. castrated  males also are less probably to run away from home, mark their territory, or exhibit aggressive behaviours.



Tip 3 Keeping the Food Bowl Full
With the best intentions, some individuals keep their pets' food bowls full at all times. this can be one amongst the foremost common mistakes pet owners create. the matter is that cats and dogs typically eat more than they need. If food is consistently accessible, they're going to absorb too many calories and placed on an excessive amount of weight. To avoid this, follow the suggestions on the pet food label or ask your vet for guidance.



Tip 4 Not socializing Young Pets
It's important to supply puppies with positive human interaction throughout their initial seven weeks of life. This includes handling and play that fosters trust in folks. honorable breeders can begin this interaction, and you'll be able to continue the method after you bring your pet home. To develop a powerful bond, play along with your new puppy each day.


Tip 5  Setting No Rules
Some folks expect their pets to understand right from wrong while not being told. however human rule doesn't come naturally to dogs and cats. you wish to create it clear that jumping up on folks, scratching the piece of furniture, and peeing on the carpet are unacceptable. Be consistent regarding the house rules, and reward your pets for good behaviour. If you would like guidance, consult a trainer promptly




Tip 6 Scolding Pets for "Accidents"
If you come home to find a puddle of pee on the ground, you'll have the urge to yell at your pet. however animal behavior specialists say this can do no good in the least. The transgression took place within the past, and your dog or cat will not grasp why you're yelling. a far better strategy is to praise your pets straightaway once they do their business wherever they are supposed to.




Tip 7 Providing insufficient  Attention
Just like youngsters, your pets can get bored if you do not play with them. and boredom will result in hard behaviors like chewing, digging, barking, and whining. Bored dog could resort to scratching and excessive barking Fight boredom by concealing treats for your pets to search out round the house. give toys your dog will chase.
