Training a puppy is a crucial step in raising a well-behaved and happy dog. Puppies are highly receptive to learning during their first few months, making early training essential. Start with basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” using positive reinforcement methods such as treats, praise, or playtime.
Consistency is key. Set a regular schedule for training sessions, keep them short (5–10 minutes), and gradually increase the difficulty as your puppy masters each command. Socialization is equally important—introduce your puppy to new people, pets, and environments to reduce fear and anxiety.
Housebreaking requires patience and routine. Take your puppy outside frequently, reward them for going in the right place, and avoid punishment for accidents. Patience and consistency will help build trust and strengthen the bond between you and your puppy. By investing time in proper training, you’re setting the foundation for a confident, obedient, and happy dog.
