It is better to begin the puppy training when it is completely adapted to the new place. Let him get used to you. Moreover, you have to watch your pet during this period to determine its weaknesses, notice some features of his "character". In order the education of your dog is right, it is recommended to keep a diary of your observations. From the first days of training, write everything connected with the training process, for example, which commands the dog reacts badly to and which commands good. In the end of the week, make some analysis from these notes. From them you will determine where and how to enhance the process of training.
If the puppy is small, the time for training should be small. This time increases with your dog. Start training early in the morning. Do not feed him before training. Be sure to instil animal: what is "good" and what is "bad". Dogs get used well in any healthy family. It perfectly treats you and all family members. Nevertheless, you have to be the "main" owner, only you. You have to be everything for your dog.
Never hit your dog. You'd better encourage it. You will never train a dog by intimidation. A dog as much as a man has its weaknesses: it is its favorite toy, a tasty bone and something else. Feeling these places, you can always, if the dog correctly follows your orders, encourage it, give it its favorite toy, a bone. In the future, the dog follows your orders with great zeal..
Any command during training should be pronounced in confident and commanding voice. If the dog feels your disconfidence, then it would not follow your order properly, with laziness.
The main commands "Come!" and "Sit!" are necessary to teach from the first days of training. When the dog has followed your order - encourage it with a slab of meat. The dog will learn it after multiple classes.
A very important command is "Down!" You can pick a place for the dog by yourself and teach the dog to it, giving the command "Down!" and it will learn it with encouragement. To be sure the dog follows the order "Down!", take it by the withers and lay on the floor, saying the command "Down!" Repeat this command several times in a row, at the same time encouraging it. In a few days, you will see the result. Train your dog all its life.
