How to accustom a puppy to its name already on the first day of
training? Or how to teach a dog taken from a shelter or from someone its
name? The most elementary in training is to teach the dog to respond to
a new name. Whatever is your puppy's age, you can start teaching him
the name in the very first day when he appears in the house.
So, what is the purpose of teaching the name? Some believe that while
hearing its name the dog should simply pay attention to the owner.
However, this is not necessary in everyday life, so after the name is
pronounced, the dog or puppy should approach the owner.
What is needed for a pet to approach its owner? By the way, it should
approach all the members of the family, that is, all members of the
family should be engaged in bringing up a puppy and teaching it most
necessary commands. Otherwise, how will they manage to control the dog?
So let everyone take a piece of treat, and from time to time throughout
the day (5-7 times or more) call the dog by its name and allure it with
that very treat. As soon as it is suitable, give a treat, stroke the dog
and say the name several times with a kind voice.
Also, call the animal by its name when it's time to eat. Put a bowl of
food in the right place and call the dog's name. When it is eating,
repeat its name several times and leave it alone, let him eat.
As you can see, everything is very simple. By the way, a puppy's
favourite toy will help you as a supporting tool in training. Just hollo
the puppy in with the toy, and, as soon as he runs up to you - name him
by the name several times and play a little.
