Little-Known Puppy Training Facts You Need To Know!
Posted on November 22, 2010
When most people think of puppy training the first things that pop to mind are probably potty training and crate training and then after that the basics of dog training such as stay and sit. But in reality puppy training starts well before that even before you have got you puppy.
Puppy Training Starts With Mommy Doggiest
There’s a very good reason why puppies should not be separated from their mothers and littermates before a certain age; and that age varies from 8 weeks to 10 weeks depending to whom you are talking but what appears to be universally accepted is that 7 weeks should be the cutoff point at the very earliest.
So why 7 weeks and not before?
Because a puppy needs to be at least 7 weeks of age before its brain is mature enough to properly process the stimuli that it is inputting.
What is more during those seven weeks the puppy needs to be around its mother and littermates if it is going to develop essential dog social interaction skills and behavior that will play a big part in its adult life. Such behavioral lessons a puppy learns whilst still with its mother and fellow puppies include:
Bite Control and Force Constraint
Often when suckling at its mother’s teat the inexperienced and seemingly ever ravenous puppy will pinch the nipple with its small yet sharp teeth. This can be very painful as the puppies get bigger, and since one of a puppy’s foremost activities is suckling and feeding, it is very much in the mother’s interest to nip such errant behavior in the bud as quickly as possible.
This the mother does by letting the puppies know in no uncertain terms that she won’t tolerate such behavior and that if the errant pup wants to continue suckling it better learn how to control its mouth. Such a lesson is invaluable in teaching the growing puppy what bite pressure is okay and what isn’t.
During play with one another the puppies learn more about acceptable bite pressure and force restraint. If a puppy bites another sibling too hard (thereby eliciting an obviously pained squeal) the mother will forcibly intervene showing the culprit that such behavior is not tolerated during play. It is in this way that puppies learn how to moderate their bites from the playful nip to the injurious maul!
Dominant, Submissive and Other Dog Behavior
During the period from the moment it’s born to the moment it leaves its mother and fellow littermates (ideally not before 8 weeks as mentioned previously) other than sleeping, eating and creating copious amounts of pee as well as poo, a puppy spends the remainder of its time playing. But in reality what we humans may view as mere play is actually schooling, because it is then that a puppy is learning proper canine social behaviorisms and interaction.
When playing with its fellow puppies, a puppy will learn its place in the social pecking order through games and interactions that involve both submissive and dominant role playing. Undoubtedly which role a puppy adopts the most will be dependent on the character and nature of the individual puppy.
It is also during such play interactions with both mother and siblings that a puppy learns to appreciate the subtleties and nuances inherent in doggy communication; in other words the puppy learns to differentiate one growl from another, one bark from the next etc.
Brain Development And Puppy Training
How an adult dog will behave is shaped by the sum of its puppyhood experiences which in turn define the shaping of its brain. At the moment of its birth a puppy more or less has all the brain cells that it will ever have, even as an adult dog; yet interestingly the brain size of a puppy is at least one-tenth its adult size. Which begs the question, if a puppy has all its brain cells at birth then how does the brain grow bigger to that found in the adult dog.
The answer is lies in the difference between the connectivity of a puppy’s brain and that of the adult dog. At birth most of a puppy’s brain cells are not connected a situation that changes soon enough as the puppy develops and undergoes new experiences.
The brain like many other aspects of the body requires stimuli to develop and thus much like the atrophied limbs of an individual who has never used them, a brain that lacks stimulation will not develop properly.
In fact an experiment conducted on kittens amply illustrated this fact by showing that individuals raised with horizontally-striped glasses during the development phase of the eyes were unable to see in the vertical plane as adults. An interesting side effect to the experiment was that those cats would walk straight into table legs and poles as if they simply couldn’t see them!
It is now understood that the wiring of a puppy’s brain (in other words the growth and development of its brain) is dependent on the nature of its experiences especially around the Critical Period.
Role of The Critical Period in Puppy Training
The Critical Period refers to that interval when a puppy has the greatest capacity to learn. The Critical Period in dogs extends from 2 weeks to 16 weeks, with a peak of activity around 7 weeks. After 16 weeks the window of the Critical Period has pretty much closed and even though the dog may still learn it will be so much harder. Furthermore once the window of the Critical Period has slammed shut, behaviors that the dog has already learned will be pretty much with it (at least traces) for the rest of its life.
The Critical Period plays an important role in puppy training because it is during such a time that you will find it easiest to mould your puppy into the dog you want it to be. To illustrate the importance of the Critical Period consider the following:
A dog that has not been socialized or developed around people by sixteen weeks of age will never be truly comfortable or at ease with people.
A livestock guarding dog that has never been exposed to its target livestock within sixteen weeks will never be good at its job let alone excel, even though it comes from a long line of champion guardians.
A gun dog that has never been exposed to the sound of gunfire within the Critical Period (note there are other factors at play here such as the onset of fear) will always be gun shy.
In fact it is now well understood and appreciated that early experience is essential not because it is the first instance of learning but because it actually affects the brain’s development! That is why a dog that is raised in a stimuli-deficient environment will have a smaller brain than another dog from the very same litter that developed in a stimuli-rich environment.
What many dog owners don’t realize is that when socializing and interacting with their puppy they are actually influencing the wiring of the puppy’s brain and ultimately moulding it into the dog they desire. This then is the process of subconscious puppy training that happens daily but few dog owners are aware of.
Finally there is another aspect of puppy training that many are unaware which is that even within the same litter some puppies are far easier to train than others. There is actually a very accurate method that shows as early as 7 weeks which puppies will be easy to train while others will be a constant struggle.

Puppy Training 101
Posted on November 22, 2010
When and How Do I Train My Puppy?
Anyone who has ever had a dog knows that training a new puppy is a challenge, but essential. With any new dog, remote collar training? No. Common sense will tell you when your dog is physically coordinated enough to go for walks on a leash, which is a good indicator that he is ready for further training. Another indicator may be when he is active enough that you feel he is ready for more advanced training. He’s your pup knowing when he is ready for further training is personal choice akin to whether your child is ready for kindergarten. Some children are ready at just under five while some need another year. Pups, like kids, mature at individual rates. He’s your puppy, enjoy him but remember he needs rules, supervision, attention, exercise, good positive mental outlets, good food and lots of rest to grow up strong, healthy and well behaved!

5 Puppy Training Tips for a Better Dog
Posted on November 22, 2010
Copyright (c) 2008 Cheap Puppy Pads
Who doesn’t love a puppy? They are cute, fluffy, and playful. However, don’t let those innocent puppy eyes fool you – all puppies grow up to be dogs, and puppies growing up without the benefit of puppy training often grow up to be bad dogs. Here are some easy tips for puppy training to make the transition from puppy to dog easier on both of you. 1. Puppies grow up – act accordingly. Many puppy parents hold off on puppy training because, after all, they are just puppies. They think that puppy antics are incredibly cute. However, every time your puppy does something, remember how big your puppy will be as an adult. While a 10 pound lab puppy might be cute playing tug of war with your pant leg, chances are it won’t be nearly as cute when your 100 pound adult lab does the same thing. Basic puppy training means setting guidelines about appropriate behavior from the first day home.
2. Make the crate a second home. Another part of puppy training is to give the puppy his or her own space. The easiest way to do this is with a crate. The crate provides the puppy a place to sleep, a place to keep the puppy safe when you are not around, and an easy way for you to travel. Puppies do not like to go to the bathroom where they sleep, so a crate can be a very useful tool when doing puppy house training. The crate should be large enough that your puppy can stand up, turn around, and lay down comfortably, but not so large that he or she can poop in one corner and lay down in another. Do not leave puppies in the crate for extended periods of time – a puppy can hold his or her bladder for about as many hours as it is months old.
3. Never hit a puppy. It is a common misconception that hitting a puppy is part of puppy training. However, hitting a puppy during puppy training more often than not will lead to only one of two things – a dog that is afraid of you or a dog that is aggressive. Neither is the desired result of puppy training, and this will lead to a dog that does not make a very good pet.
4. Make puppy happy for coming. Getting puppy to come to you when called is one of the first puppy training steps that you should take. Doing this step of puppy training will have many uses – it will allow you to distract puppy from wrongful behaviors, it will allow you to find puppy if it becomes lost, and it can keep puppy from dangers activities like running into traffic. During puppy training, reward puppy every time he or she responds and comes when called. Small treats and lavish praises and pats will teach puppy that coming when called is a good thing.
5. Socialize. An integral part of puppy training is training your puppy the proper behavior around other dogs and people. Take puppy out often, exposing him or her to new situations and new people and pets. Reward the puppy for desired behavior, and reinforce simple commands like sit and stay. Remember to stay calm, as puppy will read your emotions and act accordingly. Starting puppy training early will lead to a lifetime of good times with your dog.
