You will just waste your efforts and end up feeling rotten by choosing to punish your puppy to get him to behave instead of using some tried and tested puppy dog training secrets. It's just as if you were to spank a baby. All you will achieve is that the baby cries and you feel awful.

It's exactly the same thing, a small baby won't learn when you punish them, and puppies are exactly the same. Whatever you do with a very young baby is meant to make it feel protected and loved. A puppy is the same and if you spank it, it will fear you and feel your love.

By punishing a puppy as a form of puppy dog training, what you will do is make it afraid of you and run or recoil every time you approach. A puppy will only understand the pain of a smack, not the lesson it was meant to teach. At this stage in its life, it's far too young to really get the discipline. Finding a suitable puppy dog training programme is the best thing you can do. This will teach a puppy discipline in a way that it can learn.

Even something as small as a slight tap, when your puppy is chewing away at something, will surprise him. He will feel the pain and what you have done is caused him to be afraid of you. It will definitely stop chewing, but the damage is done.

Screaming at a puppy is not good puppy dog training and can also produce the same results. Your relationship will be damaged. At best, it will scare and startle your puppy; which is a bad way to learn. If you've ever had someone shout at you then you know how it made you feel. You might have stopped doing what you were doing but you were left feeling unloved. That's exactly how your puppy will feel; scared and unloved. Especially because a puppy does not understand what the shout really means. An angry voice tone will have the same effect, cause fear.

Using punishments as a basis for your puppy dog training, what will happen is that your puppy will be forced to fear you, and it will make up its mind that you are a mean person. No dog owner wants that. Just imagine your puppy not trusting you because it does not understand that you were not trying to scare it but was correcting it. As awful as that sounds, that's what will happen.

A good puppy dog training programme will make your puppy love you and warm up to you in a way that any dog owner would love. It gets to see you as a caring and kind gentle person.

A puppy dog training programme will turn a passive, unresponsive dog who easily gets scared into one that you can enjoy on a daily basis. It will increase his confidence and you will begin to see him do more things and express himself because you are allowing it to grow in a warm, caring environment.

Good puppy dog training will also turn a difficult dog (the more stubborn kind) into a kind and obedient pet, who will be threatened and afraid of you or your actions. Just remember this, Dogs are to assert his leadership, big prepared for him to want to outwit you and make his point - which can lead to a myriad of behavioral and discipline problems.

Think, how would you want your child to view you? So, just like you want to do with your child to produce that nurturing and caring relationship, you want to be very gentle with your puppy. Use soft puppy dog training techniques to correct your puppy when he's done wrong.

A kind soft word and loving touch goes a longer way than screaming and smacking. This is one of the best of puppy dog training techniques you can use.
