Training your puppy should be both a fun and very rewarding experience for both you and your puppy. Puppies possess an astonishing ability to learn difficult demands speedily. This article contains some valuable information that will assist you in training your puppy. You should begin training your puppy as soon as you get your puppy. Puppies learn very fast, but their attention span may be very short.

You should therefore spend 10-15 minutes twice on a daily basis. Always try and do the training when the puppy is not excited, and relaxed and when the home environment is calm. As soon as the puppy has learned a reaction in one environment, you should move the training location to an increasingly more complicated and more interesting setting. You should have your puppy trained in each environment that you want them to respond in. Learning will occur much quicker if one person trains the puppy first and then the other family members get involved at a later stage. When training your puppy, use one-word commands like “sit down” and “come”. Also try to not use the puppy’s name in connection with the command. Too much verbal commands will confuse your puppy and slow down the learning process.

You should repay correct behavior the moment after you have given the command. Provide your puppy with prized rewards such as touch, praise and food every time they react to a command. You will quickly come to know which reward is more appreciated by your puppy. As soon as the response is learned, you should give your puppy the rewards occasionally. This will help them to learn more quickly, and make the response more lasting. If your puppy is unsuccessful at any of the training levels, you should not give them a reward – but start the training again at a simpler level. If your puppy only responds to training when they feel like it or when the environment is quiet, you should again start with the training, but in a more intense manner.

Be tolerant of your puppy, and never chastise them. The opposite of rewarding your puppy is to not give them a reward – not punishing them. A punishment resulting in pain or enthusiasm will not work, and in general usually causes troubles. Punishing your puppy may also get in the way of the bond between the owner and the puppy. If your puppy is doing something wrong, divert their attention or make use of a reward for responding to a command which is contrary to the unwanted behavior.

Trained puppies are usually happier than untrained puppies, and they also make wonderful companions.

If there’s a drawback to being a dog-agility enthusiast, it’s that there really isn’t much online information available on the subject. Surf the internet and you’ll find a few sales pitches, a couple magazines, some organizations, but few answers to specific questions.

One of the most important questions you should ask as a dog agility trainer is, “what type of flooring should I use to train my dogs?”

Before we answer that, let’s look at those flooring options that are NOT great for the sport.

1.) Rubber. Perhaps the biggest misconception out there is that rubber (rolled or interlocking tiles) provides some sort of spongy, super surface that provides great traction while also providing comfort for animals and trainers alike. This notion is false. Rubber, while a great surface for protecting floors from heavy equipment like treadmills or weight benches, does not provide much fatigue relief at all. In fact, a rolled rubber floor isn’t much softer than the concrete floor it covers. And while rubber may be easy to clean (usually a damp mop will do the trick) it is NOT waterproof. Also, because most rubber floor products come in black (they are made from recycled tires) they show dirt immediately. In short, rubber has it’s place but that place is generally not in a dog training facility.

2.) Vinyl/Plastic. Another seemingly great choice for flooring your training facility would be vinyl or plastic. It’s waterproof, easy to clean, it looks nice…However, like rubber it is generally an unforgiving surface. Products made of these materials are also often slippery making for a treacherous area for both trainer and dogs. Slippery = no good for training dogs.

3.) Carpet/hardwood. These products get destroyed quickly by animals and are a nightmare to keep clean. Enough said.

Believe it or not, the best flooring for dog agility training is foam. Not just any foam, of course. Kids mats from the local box store will be shredded in no time. However, dense EVA foam that is designed specifically for dog training provides everything you’re looking for for your facility. It is waterproof and easy to keep clean. A high-traction, commercial grade carpet top provides excellent traction and is resistant to dog claws. Superficial scratching and tears will happen, to be sure. But the quality and performance of the floor will remain unaffected for years. Dog Agility mats are simple to install. Puzzle tiles that simply piece together, they require no adhesives. For a wall-to-wall installation, you simply cut them to fit with a sharp utility knife. Also, if one tile gets damaged, you can simply replace it and carry on. Not so easy with a roll of rubber or hardwood floor.

The German Shepherd is a beautiful and very popular dog and basic dog house training is a must. They are very easy to train and are very versatile. They are great for obedience, they’re great for agility and they’re great for protection. They are an awesome dog if you like doing tracking work or generally if you like hiking or swimming then they will spend all day by your side.

A German Shepherd Dog is very social so it’s important that when you begin your German Shepherd training that you properly socialize them when they are young. The reason for socializing a German Shepherd when it is young is so that it is very stable when it is an adult dog. Breeds these days have a high tendency to be high strung and get nervous fairly easy so its important that you look for a very stable German Shepherd and then you socialize them so they are very stable as an adult dog.

German Shepherds need socialization, they need leadership and they need exercise and if they get all of those things then they can become great and loyal family pets. However if you don’t do those 3 things then they can become an absolute nightmare for you and your family, not to mention the neighbors.

So here a a couple of basic straight forward tips to follow when doing basic dog house training.

Firstly keep all your commands short and simple. Remember to always repeat the same command day after day after day. Don’t mix up the commands with different words mix amongst it because this will confuse the dog and make the training longer.

Secondly the tone of your voice and how you deliver your commands also plays a huge part in the training. When starting out with a young puppy then you want to use a soothing voice to help encourage the dog to try new things. Once your puppy is older then start giving more firm commands. This will help build your German Shepherds confidence and ability to do more.

If your German Shepherd does something that is undesirable then a stern “No” is all that is needed or banish your dog to the dog bed. Never ever hit your dog as this will cause tenancies to cringe whenever they see a raised hand. Always consider a dog as a child.

People that fail in dog house training usually fail because:

they don’t enjoy the process of house training a dog,
they give up to early,
and they get to much advice from to many people

Just stick to the basics and remember that consistency is the key. Even if it is a minute a day that you spend dog house training, then your dog will always look forward to that time of the day if you keep it consistent.
