Puppy training tip - start with consistency

Puppy Training Tip - Start with Consistency

When you start training your puppy, the first key is consistency.

Your puppy needs to understand the rules. He wants to be a good puppy and he'll behave well if he knows what that means.

You need to make sure that his puppy training helps him do this.

A puppy will learn a new behavior when that behavior is consistently rewarded and will stop behaviors that are consistently punished.

However, if you only reward your puppy occasionally in the early stages of training a behavior, the puppy is unlikely to associate the reward with the behavior and the behavior is unlikely to stick.

On the flipside, if you only punish a behavior from time to time, you will probably just confuse and upset your puppy. He won't really understand why he's being punished.

So, my first puppy training tip is to help your puppy learn good behavior by making sure that the puppy training is consistent.
