Puppies are born with a natural desire to please their owners, thus the most effective training techniques use positive rewards and praise.
Nothing is more rewarding for a puppy then to know he has pleased his owner.
Dogs learn from making mistakes.
If he does something like jumping up for attention and you ignore him, he will know it is not the right thing to do.
When he performs correct behaviour and is rewarded he will remember the behaviour and repeat it in order to gain favour with you.
Bad behaviour in dogs should never be rewarded.
This includes giving him attention.
Sometimes even yelling at a dog can be perceived as positive as the dog thinks that at least he is getting some attention.
So ignore bad behaviour but reward and give him lots of attention when he performs the right behaviour.
Puppies learn much quicker through positive training methods.
A dog under stress is not able to remember or recall learned commands, whereas a dog that is happy and comfortable with your training will pick commands up quicker and remember what he has already learnt.
This means you must build trust with your dog.
Spend time playing and having fun and keep the training lessons short.
Food is the obvious choice for a reward but it doesn't always have to be food.
Puppies will respond to rewards differently so it's a matter of finding out what works best with your dog.
Try to mix the rewards up a bit so he does not get bored.
You can give him verbal praise, pats on the back or chest or reward him with a new toy to play with.
