Dog Training-the biggest mistake you can make with your Puppy

Is there anything more exciting than getting a new puppy? Everyone is so happy and would like to spend time with the pup. The puppy should then to go outside to pee and poop are taught. The puppy must learn that the carpet not grass. The puppy should be taught that chewing on the furniture is not acceptable, and most people like their dogs to know at least a few commands like sit, stay, come and walk on leash.

It is at this point that the owner of the new puppy will search for some information. They find out quickly that all trainers have their opinion about what is the best way to train. Some of the advice is really good and some of it is really bad.

What's really bad advice is when everyone tells the new owner of the puppy to hold the pup indoors and not expose the puppy too much. This is the biggest mistake that anyone ever do with their new puppy can. Let me explain why and what you need to do.

The best thing you can do for your puppy is socializing. A puppy has a socialization period that right up to about four and a half months old. The more is your puppy exposed to, the more stable and confident your puppy will be as an adult dog.

Most are fear based aggression problems. A lot of dogs with aggression problems were not well socialized as puppies. This happens because some "experts" advise keep the puppy secluded until after four months old.

The socialization period is an opportunity that you never get back. You must keep your puppy to take anywhere with you of that time. Let your puppy, play with other puppies, bring your puppy to your friends; Bring the puppy to the city, the beach, in the forests. Socialize your puppy as much as you possibly can.

With a lot of socialization will your puppy a much more stable, confidence, happy dog that will be easier to train and live with.
