need suggestions on training my puppy?
September 28th, 2009
We just adopted an 8 week old rat terrier puppy I know it’s early but I want to start her training as soon as possible for obedience and house training does anyoen have any suggestions on where I can go to get tips and ideas for this ?
housetraining should start immediatly upon bringing him home. At first you should take the dog out every couple of hours and stay out with him until he goes. When he goes he needs to be rewarded right away, with praise and treats. Whe in the house look for signs he is about to go sniffing, circling, you’ll oick up on them quick. In the event he does go you must punish him in the act, a loud NO is recommended, sometimes a quick swat on the butt but not to hard is neccesary. Then immediatly take him out and wait til he does his business, rewarding him and praising him when he does. If you find an accodent after the fact do not punish the dog, even if uoi bring him to it and show him it it will not understand and it will only confuse him

Check with your local pet supply stores and ask if they know of any obedience classes, call your SPCA they might have some answers too.

I would make sure that she is housetrained and ok with having you touch her.. especially her ears and paws because it will make clipping her hair much easier later on in life. If you can get her potty trainjed just work on no, sit, stay, down(off),lay, and those commands and take the suggestion of pupy classes they are well worth the cost later on and make sure the puppy is ok riding in cars. It would also help to get her acclimated to as many situations as possible(i;e traffic,bikes,otherdogs,strangers, ect) Also make sure that he/she is socialized well so that there aren’t any problems later on in life. Hope this helped and good luck with your new puppy!
