need suggestions on training my puppy?
We just adopted an 8 week old rat terrier puppy I know it’s early but I want to start her training as soon as possible for obedience and house training does anyoen have any suggestions on where I can go to get tips and ideas for this ?
housetraining should start immediatly upon bringing him home. At first you should take the dog out every couple of hours and stay out with him until he goes. When he goes he needs to be rewarded right away, with praise and treats. Whe in the house look for signs he is about to go sniffing, circling, you’ll oick up on them quick. In the event he does go you must punish him in the act, a loud NO is recommended, sometimes a quick swat on the butt but not to hard is neccesary. Then immediatly take him out and wait til he does his business, rewarding him and praising him when he does. If you find an accodent after the fact do not punish the dog, even if uoi bring him to it and show him it it will not understand and it will only confuse him
