No one likes a dog with no manners. And your relationship with your playful pooch will suffer if you can't count on him to stay within some basic behavioral boundaries. Here are some things to consider when your dog behavior strategy includes teaching your Dog Manners.
What To Expect From A Puppy
Start your puppy out on the road to good Dog Manners right from the beginning and you will not be faced with correcting bad behaviors when he's older and the bad habits are established.
Teaching Your Growing Dog Manners
As your dog gets older, you can expect better manners. Remember to be firm but loving and, above all, consistent.
Housetraining: By 12-16 weeks of age, your dog should be ready for house training. Get your pet a baby gate or crate to confine him, a pile of old newspapers and a leash and collar. Spread the papers out in the confined area so the dog will get the idea that he has to eliminate on newspaper. Take the dog outside on the leash frequently and praise him mightily every time he eliminates outside. The more time you spend with your dog, he faster he will housetrain.
Teach good dog manners and he will be welcomed wherever he goes.
