Puppy Training For the Whole Family
Good advice on proper training of a puppy.
Makes you want to call a pro!Your puppy should drop into a ’sit’ position in order to reach the food- dog training collar. If you raise the treat too high over the puppy’s head, he is most likely to rise on his back legs to reach the treat without sitting.clicker training- As soon as the puppy sits, give him the treat, act very excited and lavish him with praise saying “good ” Continue short training sessions until your puppy sits automatically when given the “sit” command. You will be surprised how quickly most puppies will learn this...

Good solid information that is clearly defined and easy to follow. I would like to add the absolute importance of the reward being delivered instantly so click/treat, or praise/treat. If there is even just a few minutes pause between the desired behaviour and the treat then the effect is lost. Great site will return again. Thanks
