this video will be an introduction to
getting started with training with a
young dog puppies are a lot of work and
they begin learning from us the moment
we bring them into our homes
this means that time is of the essence
and it's extremely important that we
start to teach them how we want them to
behave during the course of the day the
fastest and most effective method is
using positive reinforcement I recommend
using the puppy's food or kibble as the
reward because they will probably be
familiar with it and will consider it a
strong motivator using a clicker helps
you to mark the precise moment that your
dog does something that you like it
helps them learn faster and more
effectively although you will be
training your dog with every interaction
that you have with them I recommend
limiting the use of your clicker to
formal training sessions around
mealtimes this not only provides
structure but it also helps to develop
an association between mealtimes and
learning the dog has to first understand
what the clicker means click once and
give your dog a piece of kibble

do this a few times and your dog will
start to understand that this means I'm
about to get a piece of food make sure
that you're only clicking when the dog
is doing something that you want to
reinforce for puppies these are going to
be calm behaviors at first such as
sitting or lying down or making eye
contact because we want the dog to start
paying attention to us and looking at us
in the eyes

this is also how we teach a dog what
their name is you say the dog's name and
then click as soon as they make eye
contact if your dog appears distracted
Christ's showing them the piece of
kibble by moving it in front of their
nose and then quickly moving it towards
your face encouraging them to look at
you in the eyes do this several times
until the dog looks at you in the eyes
and after you say their name without
needing the hand movement what's very
good most important behavior that every
dog needs to know as quickly as possible
is a scent
let your dog figure out the consequences
of his behavior and get the behavior to
occur more consistently before you start
using the cute

try to avoid the verbal cue for a few
sessions and use your voice only to give
lots of verbal praise remember to keep
these training sessions short and no
longer the 10 to 15 minutes at a time
leave your dog wanting more so they're
excited for the next session short
bursts of play are also important for
healthy puppy development and will
encourage your dog early on to start
working for other types of reinforcers
besides food puppies are playful and if
they're not taught what the right things
are to play with they will surely find
the wrong things to play with praise
your dog for showing interest in the toy
this type of play nurtures a positive
bond and will teach your dog that you
are fun to play and interact with short
play sessions like this for 10 to 15
minutes at a time will also help your
dog and spend their energy appropriately
creating a puppy human House Rules is a
rewarding process but it's important to
remember that training does not end with
meals and just playtime these are small
pieces of a large puzzle if you're
