What is the best book for advice on training a new puppy?

Answer by  lgk (2426)

The best thing is to remember to use a firm tone of voice and not make baby noises at them. The firm tone lets them know you mean what you are saying, treating them for listening also re-enforces that point. Do not allow them to sleep in bed with you, cute, but they think you are not the leader.

Punishments and Rewards should be given IMMEDIATELY. do not delay or do something else first. Do not call the puppy sweetly to punish it. do not hit your puppy. Use a spray bottle as a form of punishment. Always favor rewards for appropriate behavior. Remember it's a baby; not adult.
