New Puppy Training Schedule: What to Teach Puppies
At 2-3 months old, your puppy should begin learning...
- The puppy daily routine. Where the puppy food and
water dishes are located. What times of day he will eat (typically morning,
early afternoon, and evening). Where the puppy bed is. What time he goes to
bed. What time he gets up. Where he goes to the bathroom. Where the puppy
toys are kept. What routes he will be taken on for walks. And so on.
- Correction words. What "No" means -- to stop what he's
doing when you say "No!" or "Ah-ah!" or "Stop that."
- Praise words. What "Good" means -- to wag the puppy’s
tail and look happy when you say "Good!" or "YAY!" (Puppies especially love
the sound of "Yay!")
- Crate training. To stay quietly in the puppy crate at
night when he goes to sleep - and during the day whenever we're not
interacting with puppy .
- Housebreaking. You should immediately introduce puppy
to the puppy bathroom spot, but a puppy of 2-3 months old is still an
infant, so it will be several months before the puppy internal organs are
developed enough for reliability. Toy breeds and hound breeds are especially
slow to housebreak, with many not being reliable until eight to ten months
of age.
- Acceptance of being handled. Teach puppy what a
grooming table is, and introduce the grooming positions of "Sit" and "Stand"
and "Open your mouth" while you handle puppy all over, brush the puppy
coat, brush the puppy teeth, and clip the puppy nails.
- Food words. "Hungry," "Supper", "Breakfast",
"Biscuit".
- To take things gently from your hand. "Easy!" No
grabbing.
At 3-6 months old, your puppy should begin learning..
- To lie down on command - and to STAY lying down for up
to 30 minutes.
- To stop barking when you tell puppy to be quiet.
- To interact well with strangers, other dogs, and other
animals.
- To walk politely on the leash.
- To look directly at you when you say the puppy name.
- To "give" or drop whatever is in the puppy’s mouth
when you tell puppy to.
- To play games (such as "Find it!" and "Bring it!")
with the puppy’s toys.
- To wait inside the door or gate, even when it's wide
open.
At 6-10 months old, your puppy should begin learning...
- To stay sitting while you walk away from puppy .
- To look directly at your face when you need the puppy
full attention.
- To walk very attentively by "heeling" close behind
your left leg.
- To retrieve the puppy ball or toy when you throw it.
- To do simple tricks: "Shake hands!" "Dance!" "Roll
over!" "Catch!"
- To recognize the individual names of family members -
and to search for someone who is hiding. (Also known as Hide 'n Seek!)
- To run an obstacle course for dogs - "Jump!" "Tunnel!"
"Walk it!" "Climb it!"
- Whatever else he's ready for!
