Dogs are mans very best friend and even though they are loyal and obedient they sometimes can have the weirdest problems you have ever experienced. There are many things that can upset a dog enough to cause these sorts of weird problems. It can range anywhere from some previous owner abusing that animal to it being a newly born puppy and you the owner unknowingly caused the problem. There have been many cases where an owner would act very nice to the dog and let him get away with doing things that he shouldn't be doing or that should be punished in some way. The main point in this article is to discuss ways to be the leader that your new puppy needs. You need to be able to show him that you are his leader and that he can't walk over you and do whatever it is that he wants to do because there are consequences for his actions. He may be young but this is a great time to show him and train him in what you want from him in your home. This applies to many different situations and to better address these issues, this article will be split into that many other articles so that all of them get an equal amount of time.
The first and major issue that is very important is potty training. Personally it's never too early to potty train a pet. It is something that sets boundaries and goals for you as well as him. It is also a bit of training for you because it not only gives you a goal to strive for but it will also teach you consistency and discipline. There are countless times when someone has said that they don't understand why there dog doesn't seem to get into the act of urinating outside. When asked what they are doing to try and remedy this they usually say that they take him out and tell him no when he does it in the house. This is all well and fine but when they are asked how often they do it and how consistently they don't have an answer. That is the point here. To train a dog to go to the bathroom outside or more specifically to not pee in your house you need to train him consistently to go outside. That requires that you put in the effort to see results. When you walk him make sure you walk him at the same time everyday so that he gets into a schedule.
Next time in a future article I want to go a bit more in-depth about what it means to walk your dog on a schedule. It may sound so simple when you hear it now but it has complicated steps that need your attention and your consistency. It's not something to take lightly because these are the months where you can mold him into the dog you want him to be and how you want him to behave.
Golden Retriever Puppy Training
Previously we all talked about what it takes to raise a puppy. This is probably the most difficult task at hand because there are a lot of new dog owners that have never raised a dog before and don't know what it actually means to him. More specifically a lot of people get dogs not to raise them but to have something that's cute around the house for their kids. They don't think about the future after the dog isn't cute and cuddly anymore. When the dog is young their minds are easily molded and the same can be said about babies. He is more easily persuaded to accept these rules as law and to know that there will be consequences when he breaks them. Inevitably there will be a time when it can't be helped and he will break the rules. It isn't a time to get angry or even go so far as to hit him but you need to take a firm voice and scold him about what he did. Growing up I've seen people actually take the dog's nose and rub it into whatever mess he made. All that does is just scare him and mentally damage him. What a better approach would be is to take him near what he did and scold him about it. You don't need to yell but the tone and sharpness of your voice will be enough to get the point across that he did something bad. With that in mind we want to prevent these mishaps from occurring and the best method that comes to mind is to take him for daily scheduled walks.
The walk is the most important aspect to a dog's growth and learning as anything can be. It is a time when he develops social habits as well as personality. He is introduced to other dogs as well as other people which help his mind and body develop and grow. This is an aspect of his development that you can't bypass and you shouldn't ignore because if you were to ignore this, later on in his life it will come back to haunt you. What I mean by this is that the walk is a way to show and teach your puppy how to act and how you want him to act. It is a great way to develop roles for you and your puppy.
To go a little bit deeper into roles, what I mean by that word is simple. Your role with regard to this new puppy is to be his leader and mentor. You need to be his father or mother and you need to teach him about what's right and what's wrong the same way you would teach your children. His role with regards to you is to be your child and your follower. Whatever you say goes and his role is to know and learn that. For him it's pretty simple but for you it definitely isn't.
