How to Train my puppy

By Zhanghui Zhenlihoa


Puppies are cute creatures that almost no one can resist. But appearances can be deceiving. That tiny and seemingly harmless creature can be a potential storm that's waiting to happen if you don't train it or pay attention to it when it matters. Puppies are notorious for damaging all sorts of household appliances or expensive furniture if you spoil them too much; remember, for all their worth, be prepared to invest time to be patient with them and train them.

If you want to train your adorable puppy properly, have the extra time to bond with it. If you're a paper-pushing workaholic that is notorious for sleeping in the office, don't even try purchasing a puppy - you'll just be giving it a life of disappointment.

If you try and train your puppy and you're going nowhere - don't smack them with rolled up newspapers or anything else. Striking them is not necessary and often will end up making your puppy fearful of you or they may turn into a mean grown dog eventually and you don't want that.

A tip to potty train your pup is to make sure you put a regularized timetable for it to go to the bathroom. Be sure to take it to the bathroom once during the early morning, once after lunchtime and another just before you tuck yourself back to sleep. This helps in preventing your dog from 'accidentally' emptying its bladder on your floor or near your furniture.

Puppies need constant exercise if you want them to be mentally and physically prepared for training. Take it to the park if you don't have enough room in your lot to play ball or jog with it. Who knows, maybe your puppy will enjoy the company of nature and people, which is a healthy break from staying at home.
