Are you ready to train your new pup at home? Getting your puppy the right training is the only way to make sure that they develop good behaviors. This is one of the most important and stressful parts of being a new dog owner. 

However, if you are strategic about training your dog, you both will get through it quite easily. Bear these things in mind to make things easier.

Choose Rewards Wisely

One of the things you must do effectively is find the right reward for your pet. Not all dogs are motivated by the same things. However, many dogs will be motivated by treats as a reward. If this is your dog then count yourself lucky as this is one of the easiest rewards to use.

Some dogs may need to get a new toy or play with an older one as a reward. Whatever it is, be sure to use it regularly so that your pet will cooperate with you through the whole training process.

Be Consistent

When you're training a puppy you have to be consistent. You can have a specific time of the day when you train your pet so that they get used to it. However, this is not the only type of consistency that you should be thinking about.

The type of training that you are giving must be consistent. Use the same words and phrases when you are teaching your pet something. This will make it very easy for them to follow along and learn.

Make It Short and Sweet

The training sessions that you have with your pup should be on the shorter side. It is better to do very short sessions throughout the day than to do longer sessions. Remember that puppies in general, do not have the attention spans for very long sessions.

Do short sessions in different locations so that your puppy understands that your commands are to be followed wherever they are given. For example, take them on a walk and teach them to sit on command. Also, teach them how to sit at home or in the park.

Start Training

Training your puppy at home is quite possible. You just have to be as prepared. Watch your puppy closely to see how they are progressing with the methods that you are using. If the methods you are using are not working then try other methods to see if they will work.
