How To Train A Puppy

"And Watch Him Grow Into A Happy, Well-Behaved Adult Cocker Spaniel"


If you want to learn how to train a puppy, read on to discover just how easy it can be, so long as you know what to do!

Your puppy will need a considerable amount of training if he's to grow into a well-behaved adult Cocker Spaniel.

Hopefully, the following articles will provide all the information you need to help you to do this.

The very first thing you'll want to do is ensure that your puppy is potty trained, and if you intend crating your puppy, you'll probably want to learn about the benefits of crate training a puppy and teach him how to use it properly.


Socializing Your Puppy

When learning how to train a puppy it's vital that, as a caring owner, you understand about puppy socialization.

Puppies that have been properly socialised will grow up to be well-adjusted, happy dogs.

Those puppies who've not been properly socialised may become very timid or aggressive, and may develop behavioural problems later in life.

We all want our pets to be gentle and well-behaved.

Good training, and socializing your puppy well, will go a long way to ensure that happens.


Puppy Biting And Chewing

If you're new to puppy ownership, you'll soon discover that puppies bite!

Whilst play biting is a natural part of a puppy's development, it's important that they learn to be gentle and that biting humans is not allowed.

Learn how to stop your puppy biting before he has the strength to do some real damage!

The same applies to puppy chewing which should be addressed immediately it begins otherwise it may become a habit and continue through to adulthood, causing destruction and despair for the owner.

And puppy training doesn't stop there; in fact that's just the beginning!


Puppy Obedience Training

There is another area of dog training that is very important if your dog is to fit into our human world, and that's obedience training.

However, before we explain how to train a puppy to respond to basic obedience commands, we've set out some general puppy training tips to help your training sessions run smoothly.

It's important to read these rules before attempting to teach your Cocker Spaniel any specific puppy obedience training commands.

Puppy obedience training involves training a puppy to follow basic obedience commands such as:

The 'Watch' Command

The 'Sit' Command

The 'Down' Command

The 'Stand' Command

The 'Be Quiet' Command

The 'Wait' and 'Stay' Commands

The 'Come' Command

The 'Leave' Command

The 'Drop It' Command


Training your puppy well is one of the best things you can do for him (and you); a well-trained puppy will grow into a well-mannered adult.
