Puppies love to chew, bite, and bark all the time, and while this can be entertaining when they’re little, it can be quite aggravating when they’re larger. It’s important to introduce puppies to canine obedience exercises at an early age. Puppies need to learn essential commands like sit, down, and heel at a young age. It’s best to start a dog learning when they’re young, and obedience training can begin as early as 12 weeks.
When training a puppy, be sure to reward good behavior with a treat or praise and know how to handle bad behavior. Remember that dogs have short memories, so there’s no point to scold a dog for something that happened even a minute prior. When training a puppy, patience is a virtue. Depending on the puppy, it can take more or less time to teach them a command.
