Ask The Experts About New Puppy Training Guide
Charles asks…
Just picked up a new puppy today. Know of any great+free training sites? Any other tips would be great?
Wasn’t a planned adoption, so i haven’t had the time i normally take to prepare for a new pet.
This is a stronger breed of dog(Pit Bull), but she is only 2 months old, i would like to get started early in her training so I wont look out the window one day to see my wife flying behind the dog like a kite(as hard as i laugh about the thought, I don’t wanna lose the dog. 
lol
Any tips will be accepted on other puppy topics, I’ve had dogs before, but never a puppy, already have my mop primed and ready though. She’s in my last dog’s crate and seems fine, goes in and wont come out actually.
Supplies i have so far:
Crate, collar, harness, leashes, bowls, food (Purina puppy chow for now, that’s what she is use to), a toy, dawn dish soap(noticed a couple fleas on her, some oatmeal dog shampoo (to wash off the dish soap). And a complete idiots guide to positive dog training (that this idiot cannot seem to find at the moment, think it’s in the basement somewhere).
I noticed i forgot to grab treats, we’ll walk to the local petsmart tomorrow and see if she finds something she likes.
The person i got her from never took her out, walked her, or anything. From the smell of it they went where ever they pleased in the house. I made the mistake of tossing mycoat on the floor next to my washer to clean the smell outta it, looked away from the puppy for a min and guess what happened… yup, mop time.
ok, I’ll stop typing now, guess i get chatty when I’m excited about something.
She actually is doing very well with the collar/leash/harness.
Took me about 5 minutes to get her to actually walk with me outside, but once she started she follows and chases me really well.
I take her harness off inside, but leave the collar on.

I would STRONGLY suggest puppy classes and obedience classes sinse you have not had a puppy before. Your idiots guide (lol) should be able to fill you in on the basics.
Once he’s finished his puppy shots, get him enrolled.
With potty training, remember not to punish for the mistakes, a simple correction of a firm ‘no’ and shuffle the puppy outside (please teach him to go outside) and if/when he does go, praise and treat like crazy. If you stumble upon an accident, its too late to correct, just mop up and move on.
Get him used to his collar and lead now. If he doesn’t already wear his collar all day, put it on him for a few hours a day, then once he’s used to that, do the same thing with his lead and just let him run around with it dragging behind him, once he is good with both, get him used to you holding it and him walking nicely on it, which obedience classes will help you with.
Thats all I can think of for now… OH and pick up EVERYTHING chewable.

Read MorePuppies Training Tips ? 3 Important Tips To Get You Started Right Away
There are many puppy owners who find themselves losing the novelty for their new pet after a while when they end up spending lots of time clearing up the mess it created. This is very unfortunate and it does not have to be that way if the owners had taken some time to learn some puppies training tips at the beginning. It will save you a lot of time and problem later on if you start training your new puppy right from the first day you brought it home. So how do you train your new puppy and what are the basic things you need to train your puppy in?
You do not have to worry too much about how to train your puppy because there are professional sites around where you can easily get free step-by-step puppies training tips which you can easily apply at home. These tips will apply to whatever breed of puppies you have purchased but you do have to note that some puppies might just take a little longer time than others to get trained. You just have to be more patient and consistent in your puppy training. Below are three tips which you can start applying right away.
The first thing you need to train your new puppy in is to potty train it. Yes, puppies are like little children, they need to be potty trained too! It is important to teach it from young so that you do not have to continue cleaning after it when it has grown into an adult. However, you cannot expect it to become potty trained overnight. You need to be persistent and consistent in your training and over time, your puppy will be able to remember its correct potty area. When you are training your puppy, it is vital that you do not allow it to get rid of its waste on your tiles, carpets and any wooden furniture you might have in your house.
Another of the puppies training tips that you need to teach is how to show respect for you. This is essential in order for your puppy to learn about self control. When you are training your puppy, you must never give in no matter how its whimpers, otherwise it will never follow your instructions. You need to show your puppy that you are the dominant one so that it will follow what you say. On the other hand, you must also not frighten your pet into listening to you. That will only turn your puppy into an unhappy, fearful and aggressive pet.
Start applying the above two puppies training tips given above, you are on a good start to having a lovable and happy pet. However, one other tip to puppy training is to create opportunities for your puppy to socialize. One way is to invite friends to your house. This will show your puppy that these strangers are not posing any threat to you so it will not grow up to be an aggressive adult dog. You do not want your pet to pounce on your guests whenever they visit you!
