When you get a new dog in your home, we know just how irresistible it can be to let him or her sleep on the bed for the first night. Take note that if you do not want your dog to sleep on the bed at all, then you should not let them do it, not even just once. When you do this, it is all over and that dog will think it is fine for him or her to sleep in the bed.
Personally, we allow our pit bull, Copper to sleep in our bed, but that is our choice, we do not know what you prefer. If you prefer to have your dog crate trained, then you should start that from day one.
When you first bring your pet home, you need to start training him or her to wear a collar.
The collar should be placed on your pet while you are there. Whenever you leave, while the dog is getting used to the collar, you may want to take it off of him or her in order to prevent strangulation.
In due time, your pet will be ready to wear the collar at all times.When the pet has gotten used to the collar, it is time to introduce the leash to him or her. In no time, your pet will be walking side by side with you on the leash. As you are walking him or her, you can also teach them the basic commands of sit and stay.
Your dog is smart and we know you will see that as you are doing your dog training. Each day, your dog will be learning, but you need to make sure you have patience and confidence in your four legged friend. When you have confidence in them, they will trust you.
