When you have a cute little dog running around you may be so excited at first. You will just want to love and pet it constantly. Everything it does is just the cutest thing you have ever seen and you will not want to tell it no. Eventually that adorable little puppy may turn into a little monster if you don’t reprimand him from the beginning. You can not let a puppy do whatever they want just because they are cute.
When they are chewing up something that is important to you or expensive you will not think that they are as cute. To start training your puppy you need to first set boundaries. Do not allow the puppy to play with just anything as a toy. They need to have their own specific toys. Do not get them toys that look like shoes, hats, phones, or anything that you want to keep them from chewing on. If you get them any toys that resemble those things they may confuse the real ones with their toys and chew them up. Being very stern and repetitive with the puppy will help. You need to be consistent.
Make sure that if you tell them no from doing something one time that you are steadfast and tell them no every time. Puppies learn through repetition. You will get far more enjoyment from a dog who is well behaved and knows it’s limitations. You do not want to spend years yelling and fighting with a dog about what they are doing. You want to enjoy the puppy and enjoy the companionship you’ll share. By teaching them young what you expect you can have a great pet that you enjoy coming home to not, one that you dread coming home and seeing what they ruined or paper hand towels strewn around the place.
