Effective Techniques for Training Puppy 7 weeks to 6 months and Toy Breeds
Introduction
Many people find having a dog like having a child who ignores them, causing stress and frustration and ultimately diminishes the joy in a special relationship.
This book will teach you different ways to train your puppy with food and with positive and negative reinforcement.
Once your dog learns various habits, they are hard to break. So teaching your dog good habits at an early age will go a long way in establishing a fun, healthy and productive relationship between you.
Training dogs from a young age is the key to many years of fulfilment with your canine friend.
In this book, I will share my experience and expertise by revealing good techniques to get off to the right start with training your puppy.
So we will take a look at how pups think and learn.
One of my favourite sayings is:
“if we can figure this out, we can get a
dog to do almost anything”.

Chapter One – The breed and intelligence of you dog matters
First let’s look at what breed of dog you have as that plays a big role in how your puppy will behave. Breeds of dogs are separated into a few categories such as working dogs, hounds, terriers, gun dogs and toys.
Many people don’t realise that how a dog thinks and learns is closely connected to what it was bred for and the general intelligence of its breed. Understanding this will help owners to appreciate what to expect from their dogs and the level of their inbred abilities.
So if you have a working dog, you can definitely expect it to behave differently compared with a toy dog.
A working dog will be more eager to please as well as being a fast learner, which comes down to how many repetitions you must go through before your dog picks up the command.
You can look your dog up on the following website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dog_breeds.
The level of intelligence of a breed is determined by how many repetitions they need to go through before they pick up the command and how many more repetitions before they become a habit.
This may seem obvious, but is so often overlooked.
Managing the expectations of dog owners starts with them learning about the characteristics and limitations of their particular dogs.
