Your 5 Stages Of Puppy Training

In this video, I’m going to show you some basic puppy training theory, and how you can break down your training into an easy to remember checklist using the acronym “T.R.A.I.N.” When people come to us asking for help with a skill they’re struggling with, we can often find a step that has been left out in their training plan. As humans, it can be hard for us to understand how dogs think simply because it is different than how we think, and it can be hard to understand why you might have a perfect recall in your yard, only to watch your puppy ignore you at the park. Today, we’re going to talk about the steps necessary to train and perfect a skill from start to finish. Whether you’re training an 8-week-old puppy to sit, or you’re teaching your 8-year-old Golden Retriever to carry the newspaper, you’ll be able to follow these steps to ensure that your dog understands the skill.

Happy Training! ~Ken
