Training your pet will take time, effort, and a lot of determination. Depending on the type of dog you get, you’ll either spend less or more time trying to teach it new tricks than actually raising it.

Although it is possible to simply have a professional trainer teach them the basic skills and tricks, you would still want to be the one to teach your dog something.

Don’t always rely on a trainer to teach your dog everything. Being a teacher to your dog is also a form of bonding.

When you first bring your pet home, you want to spend a few days with it before having to resume to your normal schedule. You have to first make sure that your dog has enough time to feel accustomed to its new surroundings.

On the days that you spend time with your dog, it’s good to have them walk around your house a few times a day so it can memorize the basic structure of your house.

Most of the time, puppies tend to explore on their own but that’s when you have to watch them. They tend to play hide and seek sometimes so if you live in a big house, it’s going to be a pain for you to try and find them when they’re not making any noise.

After a few days of adjustment, it should be fine for you to occasionally leave your dog alone for a while if you must.

For both dogs and puppies, make sure that they eat at the same time every day if you can make it happen.

Eating at a consistent time is good for any type of diets and it’s good to keep up to make sure that your pet isn’t over eating or eating too less.

During the early stages for puppies, it’s best to have other people take care of them when you’re not around. If you want to place them in a pet day care too then that’s fine but you have to make sure that you check the place out before leaving your puppy there.

It’s good to leave your puppy with the people that you trust so your puppy can familiarize itself with them. It can prove to be useful later on both for you and your puppy.

Training with a professional trainer would be good if you still can’t find the time to do it yourself. However, if you’re planning on going solo without the aid of a professional trainer then there are plenty of methods for you to choose from.

There are also methods that you should try to avoid at all costs. Know that not all methods used to train your dog is always friendly.

There are some fairly cruel methods out there that are closely tied with animal abuse if you’re not doing it properly.

You want to train and become friendly with your dog. Your goal isn’t to harm your dog so it’ll listen to you.
