The day you bring your brand new puppy into your home for the first time is a joyous one; but it can also cause a lot of stress, especially if this is the first time that you've had a dog. You'll need to learn many things in order to be a good caretaker of your new dog.
The first step is to make your puppy feel safe and loved in its new home. Speak gently to your dog ad whatever you do, don't yell at them if they do something which is out of line. Yelling at your puppy can cause them to become afraid of you; this is something which can be difficult, if not impossible to remedy. It's better to take your new puppy for training as soon as you can after bringing your new family member home.
There are plenty of good reasons to have your dog trained? And remember it's not just your new dog that needs to learn some things; you will have some lessons to learn as well. You need to learn how to handle your new pet and just as importantly, how not to handle it.
You'll understand the need for training your puppy almost the minute you bring them home. Your new dog will be extremely energetic and will run all over the house, chewing on everything, possibly breaking things and peeing on the floor.
You'll learn a lot of useful things in dog training classes, such as which commands are the most effective and just as importantly, what tone of voice to use when giving your dog a command. You'll need to learn these things and practice them regularly? This will make your new dog a better behaved member of the family and while some puppy damage is almost inevitable, can prevent much of the damage your new dog may cause.
You'll need to walk your dog at least once (preferably two or three) times each day. Your dog has to learn to follow your commands so that they will walk without you having to yank on their leash.
Not knowing how to control your dog when you are out for a walk can lead to disaster. It's only natural for your dog to want to chase squirrels and other small animals? But they will run into the street after them, which can be catastrophic.
Being struck by cars is one of the leading causes of death among household pets, especially dogs. These accidents usually happen because the owner is unable to control the dog using commands? This is one of the reasons why training is so important for your new dog; it could literally be a life saver.
