Many dog owners have the wrong impression that since dogs are man’s best friends, they should by nature obey their owners. The truth is that dogs do not have such innate quality, so it is no wonder so many owners trying to teach their pet dogs how to obey their commands. Puppy obedience training is important if you want your puppy to behave in the right manner.
Obedience training is important because you do not want your puppy to attack people or other animals. Hence, training your puppy is to actually have a better control over how your puppy behaves.
There are various ways to train your puppy to obey you. The methods, tools used and styles can be different in one way all another but the main objective is only one and that is to teach the puppy to obey their master.
We know that dogs can be trained, but they are not human, how do they understand the reason behind the importance to obey? Well, the answer lies in the method on how we train them.
We need to be consistence in our training. As mentioned, your puppy do not understand the logic behind, so you have to train over and over again to make it know what you actually want. When you show your approval by awarding treats, it will do it again because that is what you want. By behaving the manner you want and by getting treats from you, your puppy knows that you are pleased and that what it love to see.
However, it is very important not to punish you puppy when it is not behaving the way you command. Unlike human, you cannot expect your puppy to immediately understand how to obey your commands. If you introduce punishment while teaching your puppy to obey, fear may arise whenever you give commands. It is of utmost important to build a good relationship between you and your puppy, so that it can trust you. Be patient when giving obedience training, and sooner or later, you will find your effort fruitful.
If you could put a little more thoughts into training your puppies or ask helps from the experts, puppy obedience can be a lot of fun. The important points to take note is that you should always be consistence and patience as your pets are not human, they will definitely take a longer time to learn how to obey you.

Leash Walking
Most of us need to walk with our dogs on leash, at least occasionally. And if walks are your dog’s primary outlet for exercise, you’ll be taking your dog out on a leash every day.
For this reason, when training a puppy it’s important to train your dog to walk safely and calmly while leashed. The goal is a loose leash, meaning that during leash walks, your dog doesn’t pull or strain. Here are some tips to help.
Getting used to a collar
Before you can begin the basic puppy training tips, your pup first has to get used to wearing a collar and being on a leash. Dogs generally become accustomed to this quite quickly. In the first instance, buy a soft collar – one made of woven nylon or soft leather, for example. Do not buy a collar for the dog to grow into, but buy one that fits now.
Put it on for an hour at first and gradually increase the time. It is a great help to put the collar on just before you take the puppy out or, if your dog is sensitive to this, just before you give it its food. Your puppy is then so busy with eating or playing that it will forget the collar.
How to train a puppy to walk on a leash
Once your dog has got used to its collar, you can fasten this to a leash. Do not pick up the leash yet, but allow your puppy to walk around with it, so that it can get used to this. When it is acclimatized, take the puppy outside and encourage it to walk with you. Do not pull on the leash, but coax your dog with kind words or a tasty tidbit. Some puppies react very strongly when they notice that their freedom is being restricted and they keep trying to struggle free. Praise the dog lavishly when it does not resist.
Reward the right position
The main thing you need to do to train a loose leash is reward your dog for staying in a position that is close enough to you that the leash isn’t taut. Food treats are a great tool for this: anytime your dog is walking nicely – the leash is loose – say, “Yes” and give your dog a treat.
If your dog puts pressure on the leash, stop and wait for her to look at you and come closer to you again. When she does that, say, “Yes” and give her a treat.
You can also use the yes/treat combination when your puppy glances at you during the walk. Doing that is a nice way to reinforce her “checking in” to see where you are.

Teach Dog to Down the Easy Way
Teach dog to down is the next step after you have mastered How to Teach Dog Sit .
If you haven’t mastered sit then go to the link above and practise this first, once you feel confident that your puppy has a full understanding of sit then it will be time to move onto Teach dog to down.
Teach Dog To Down
So lets get started.
- Ask your Lab puppy to sit, and show him you have a treat in your hand.
- Then close your hand over the treat, and lower your hand to the floor.
If you do this your lab puppy will follow your hand (and the smell of the treat) and his head will come down to the floor level.
- Keep your hand closed,and in this position. After a few moments, your puppy will drop down on his forequarters in a effort to get a treat.
If you are lucky, his hindquarters will follow, and your lab puppy will now be in the down position.When he is in this position say the command down and give him the treat.
Sometimes your puppy might be reluctant to go into the down position, so you will need to gently apply pressure to his shoulder, this will help him to get into the correct pose. When he is give him the treat and lots of praise.
Repeat the exercise again using the “Down command” this will help your puppy to associate the word with the action.
When you feel your puppy has got the hang of this down command, wait a little longer before you give him his treat, this will teach him to maintain his position.
When you first start to Teach Dog to Down you will need to crouch down next to him, to encourage him into position. But as he gets use to the down command you will be able to stand after giving your Lab puppy the Down command.
Before you know it your new Labrador puppy will be obeying your down command and you won’t even have to give him a treat.
Good luck with your Teach Dog to Down.
