With this video, i am starting Training series
like you guys requested after watching my training video
that i should share how i trained Buddy
But i was able to train Buddy successfully
So i will share my experiences how i trained Buddy
So you can train your Puppy/dog after watching this video
In this video i will share 4 rules with you
that are most important rules for training
So if you follow these rules, you will be able to train your dog/puppy very fast.
At what age can you start training your dog/puppy?
For puppies there is a minimum age of 2 months
So if your puppy is over 2 months, then you can train your puppy
But if your puppy is under 2 months, he/she won't be able to get trained as your puppy is still very young
So wait till your puppy is 2 months
After your puppy is over 2 months, you can start training
And if you have an adult dog, at what age can we still train him?
Well, there is no such rule for dogs
You can train a dog at any age
You might face some problems
as your dog would have bad habits from earlier
It will take some time and efforts to train but
2nd rule is what time of the day can you train a puppy/dog?
So, this one has 2 rules as well.
If it's the 1st time you are training your puppy/dog
then pick a time when your puppy/dog is tired
and he is little hungry
Because if he is active, then he wont listen to you at all.
In fact he might start biting you during the training or get aggressive
So tired means suppose if he just woke up
at that time he will be little lazy, right?
and hungry means like about 2 hrs before his meal time
So he just woke up about 2 hrs before his meal time
That will be the best time to train, as he might be hungry and lazy
So at that time he will respond to your commands for the temptation of treats.
and he wont bite you at all
and the 2nd part for this is, if you have already trained your puppy/dog
and if you want to repeat the training
then there is no best time of day for this
For this you can train whenever its possible through out the day
Like Buddy already knows a lot of tricks
he know about 10+ tricks
So for Buddy we don't wait anymore for him to wake up
Whenever we get a chance, like before giving him a treat
like before taking him on a walk or whenever it's possible
We train him
So the best time is to train him throughout the day
Also i would like you give you an important tip
if you train your puppy/dog at the same time and the same location
then after some time change the location as well
Then your puppy will think this is my training time and this is my training location
and he won't train anywhere else.
for example, like if you train in the evening on your balcony
he will respond to your training there only and won't respond anywhere else
so some time change the position and time of training
since Buddy has learned lot of tricks, we give him training outside the house
train at the gate, in the garage
keep changing the position
because it is said that your training is not complete until your dog/puppy
follows your training in every situation
sometimes he breaks our training
sometimes he doesn't follow our training in new situation and in front of new people
so until this happens keep training your dog/puppy
next rule is how long should you train in a day?
well to start, if you are training for the first time
then you must train 15 minutes a day at least
because at this age puppy's mind is so young that they learn rapidly and forget rapidly
so if you don't continue your training every day then he will forget very soon
this is why 15 minutes a day is necessary
i have 2 more rules for you
next rule is what order of training should you follow?
well the order should be to teach your puppy (not to a dog) his name
like if i say Hey Buddy then he should look at me
but i don't think you should work for it
because puppies learn that automatically within few weeks
so instead you should save that time
and use it for next training
so our first training will be on Sit and Stay
my first training video will also be on Sit and Stay
after that we will learn Drop it command
because many times you will be in a situation when your puppy/dog
will be biting lot of your stuffs and you would want him to leave it
and he will not leave it so we will learn Drop it command
after that we will learn other training which are more of a fancy training
like handshake and high 5
or lying down on the floow, crawling or spinning
we will learn all those commands in this series
Last rule i have for you is
What should you use for training so that your puppy/dog listens to you?
Well, you can use 2-3 things for this
We use training treats that you use to give to your puppy/dog
ones they like
i will place a link for that in the description
training treats are of various kind
you can check which ones your puppy/dog likes
you can use those
or you can use low value food like kibble
sometime i give kibble to Buddy for training
kibble is his food that he eats every day and three times a day
that is a low value because he eats it every day
he won't have much interest in it. He will eat it and will do the training but won't like a lot
High value is something that your puppy likes a lot
for example training treats that we use for Buddy
Also take note that to avoid over feeding your puppy/dog
because calorie requirement is very important for a puppy initially
if your puppy eats this much meal in a day
then take some portion of the meal out and use it for training
rather than you feed him entire meal
plus add calories from training treats
that will increase his calories per day
and he can get obese
so make sure to feed about the same calories a day as required
training treats are low in calories but still have some calories
so if you are using training treats then reduce the portion of his meal a little
so that his overall calories a day remains the same
so i had all these tips for you in this video
and our next video on Sit and Stay training is coming very soon
