8 Easy Ways to Train Your Puppy to Be Obedient in Short Time

8 Easy Ways to Train Your Puppy to Be Obedient in Short Time My neighbor's kid has a dog that sits at the kitchen door and waits every single time. Doesn't beg, doesn't whine, doesn't lean on your leg. Just sits, with a tennis ball at his feet, until somebody opens the door. I asked her how long that took. She said it started with him being a bad dog. I got the story later over a beer, and the short version is that it took about eight months of the boring kind of work, not the showy kind.

How to Train a Dog: 8 Tips and Tricks That Work on Rambunctious Puppies Introduction Welcome to the world of puppy training. You're going to learn a lot, and have a lot of fun! What's going on in your puppy's mind? Dogs are not born knowing how to behave, so you need to teach them what is acceptable and what is not. Dogs learn through association: if something happens after something else, they’ll learn that the two events are related. For example, if your puppy comes running over to you every time you give him some food and then he gets a treat when he comes over, he will think that coming to you means treats!
