Training dogs is a task that is not only necessary but very important to achieve a good coexistence of the animal with the family.

Training dogs with specialized people, professional trainers, is usually very expensive; many cannot afford it, so it is good to know how to train them at home.

 Instructions for training dogs

1. To train dogs it is essential that the dog knows who the leader is and this is achieved through basic training, so that the dog respects its owner and follows his instructions.
2. First of all, you recognize have to get the puppy to its name.
3. You must also understand some basic instructions, such as: sit down, come next to me, etc., in addition to the word NO for when you are doing something wrong.
4. One of the first things he should learn is to relieve himself in an appropriate place, in the yard, in a corner with dirt, in a dog litter tray, a newspaper, etc.
5. Remember that the puppy’s digestive tract is very fast and efficient, between 5 and 30 minutes after eating it will want to defecate. Organize your walks so that you get used to it.
6. The best way to train a puppy is by using the behavior modification technique called reward and punishment. Much more is achieved by rewarding than by scolding and punishing. 
7. At first you can wait until the puppy eats, and starts going around in a circle a little anxious to relieve him; at that time it is a good idea to show him where he can do it, and reward him when he has done it.
8. Some people resort to scolding and punishment to train their animals: when the dog relieves itself in the wrong place, they use a rolled up newspaper to hit the floor, and the loud noise scares the animal. Although it is not the best way to carry out the training, it can sometimes be quite effective.
9. So that the puppy does not break things when he is alone, he does not relieve himself anywhere, you should leave him in a “room” for him with his toys, his drinker and his litter tray.
10. In order for him to learn to approach people, it is important that you invite people to your home so that they can meet the new member of the family.
11. It is also good that the guests give the puppy a piece of food every time he approaches, he will learn that it is very positive to approach people.
12. When you take him out for a walk, bring some dog biscuits so you can reward him every time he does what you ask.
13. Also bring a toy or a bone to keep him entertained while you sit down to rest for a while.
14. Do not let him loose running around and playing with other dogs without being interrupted if you want him to learn to come to your side when you call him.
15. Use the leash to walk him and only let him go for short periods.
16. A balanced dog is a dog that knows how to play and then be calm. Help him find that balance by rewarding him for calm, whenever he is calm.
