Dog training for puppies

Puppy training in Switzerland & Vaud

Puppy dog training is a time when a puppy learns basic commands and acceptable behaviours while socializing with fellow dogs. It’s usually done with positive reinforcement, such as giving a treat or praise when the puppy does what it’s told.

This includes essential things like being housebroken, sitting, coming when called, and not nipping. It can also include more advanced skills like staying still when his leash is put on, not jumping up on people, and learning to be friendly and calm with other animals and people.

Puppy training is not only important for the owner’s peace of mind, it’s also essential for the dog’s well-being and safety. A well-trained puppy is generally happier, more relaxed and less likely to have behavioural problems in the future.

Why puppy dog training?

As a certified dog training professional, I would say that training sessions are essential for several reasons.

First and foremost, they help establish a good relationship between owner and dog. The dog will better understand what is expected of him, and the owner will learn to communicate better with his pet. This contributes to mutual respect and strengthens their bond.

Secondly, dog training helps prevent behavioral problems. A well-educated dog is generally calmer, less stressed and therefore healthier. Training sessions teach the dog appropriate behaviors, reducing the risk of bites or other undesirable behaviors.

What’s more, dog training sessions help dogs develop their intelligence and socialization skills. He learns to interact with other dogs and people, which is crucial to his development.

Finally, dog training is also a means of ensuring the safety of the animal and the people around it. An educated dog is one that will respond to its master’s commands in the event of danger.

In short, dog training sessions are essential to your dog’s well-being, safety and harmonious relationship with its owner.

A well-trained dog is generally calmer, less stressed and therefore healthier.
