Tips

In summary, it is recommended to train your puppy for short periods of time, multiple times throughout the day, aiming for 5-10 minutes of training, 3-4 times a day. Soft, small treats that your puppy enjoys are best for training and it is important to use positive reinforcement rather than punishment. Potty training requires consistency and patience, and it is best to start training your puppy during their critical socialization period between 3-14 weeks of age. However, training can continue throughout their entire life.

Where can I see the online lecture?

I thought they just shot a neutrino beam through the Earth and detected it someplace else. Can someone explain the significance of this?

1. How often should I train my puppy?

It is recommended to train your puppy for short periods of time, multiple times throughout the day. This will help keep their attention and prevent burnout. Aim for 5-10 minutes of training, 3-4 times a day.

2. What treats should I use for training?

Soft, small treats that your puppy enjoys are best for training. Avoid using large or hard treats that may take longer for your puppy to consume. You can also use their regular kibble as a training treat.

3. How do I potty train my puppy?

Potty training requires consistency and patience. Take your puppy outside frequently, especially after meals or naps. Use a command, such as "go potty", and reward them when they do their business. Accidents may happen, but do not punish your puppy and instead redirect them to the designated potty area.

4. Can I use punishment as a training method?

No, punishment is not an effective training method for puppies. It can create fear and anxiety, and may cause your puppy to become aggressive. Positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, is a more effective and humane way to train your puppy.

5. When should I start training my puppy?

The earlier, the better! Puppies have a critical socialization period between 3-14 weeks of age, so it is important to start training during this time. However, training can continue throughout their entire life and it is never too late to start teaching your puppy new skills.
