Getting a new puppy is both exciting and fun but, neglect to train you new bundle of joy and your relationship can quickly turn sour.
So, here is some advice on dog behaviour training.
You can shout all you like at your new puppy when it does something you do not like.

Training is a really important initial step in the puppy care process and it need not be too difficult or intensive for both you and your puppy to learn some basic ground rules.
Do it right and you will enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling life together for many years to come.
There are two ways to get started in dog behavior training, attendance at an organized class and following a quality instruction program like Sit, Stay, Fetch where the advice on dog behavior training is both enjoyable to learn and endorsed by many.
Probably a combination of the two is what most people do and they usually cover the following:
- Making sure that your commands to your dog are both consistent and easily heard, for instance if you do not want to have your puppy sleeping on your new armchair, do not ever let it get on it for any reason;
- Learning how to house train properly and in a structured way that your puppy can easily grasp;
- Teaching your dog to curb its aggressive tendencies and how to avoid it wanting to fight other animals;
- Understanding dog behavior in general and establishing with your pet the basic rule that you are the ‘leader of the pack’.

Probably the best piece of advice on dog behaviour training you can hear is that you need to have patience.
