Getting a family dog is a huge responsibility for everyone in the family. A dog is an extension of your family. They should be cared for, loved, and played with just like anyone else in the family! Training your new pup can bring a lot of new challenges. When thinking about training your family pup, the earlier you start the better. Although the saying “you can’t teach a dog new tricks” is not necessarily true, it is much easier to train a dog when they are very young. However you decide to train your new pup, it is important to remember a few key rules for proper dog training.
Consistency It is incredibly important to establish house rules for your new pup. The entire family has to agree on what the dog can and cannot do in the house. If someone lets the dog on the couch but the rest of the family instructs the dog to stay off, the dog will be confused and teaching them will never work. Once the rules are established, stick with them and enforce them consistently. Over time, the pup will learn what it can and cannot do in the house. https://chrisjanese.net/training-your-new-family-dog/
