One Last Tip On Playing With Your Puppy

Puppy Training

Hi all,
Good day to you.
Just to let you know that I will be away for the next three days, so I would not be posting any writing.
Before I leave, I would like to share with you my last tip on...........

Playing With Your Puppy

The puppy who learns the rules of fetch-and-carry has taken a big step forward into being a well-trained adult dog. In this way, he also finds that learning can be fun. Roughhousing, though not too roughly, teaches him to play and not bite and to work to get something he wants, still without hurting the person holding it.

In the course of a good rough and tumble, you will use words that he will remember next time. He will learn "Stop that," if he gets rough himself. If he needs reprimanding, a firm "No!" and a quick tap on the rump should make him behave.

Protect your puppy against what is really teasing, as when children call it "play" to steal his toys and hold them out of reach or to wrestle too roughly and hurt him. In addition, never play with him, or let children do so, until the point of exhaustion.

Reward him when you are teaching him something new, and let the play increase his understanding of you and your understanding of him. The time you spend with him can develop into a closer bond. He is learning, among other things, that you are his owner.

Have fun and we shall 'woof' again 3 days later.
Take care and have a fantastic weekend.

Cheers.
