How to Train A Puppy: Philosophy

10/21/15 | Animal and Land, Companion Animal, Dog Training Tips

A couple days ago, we brought a new puppy home! He is a golden retriever named Maverick and just the best little ball of fluff ever. I have been asked in the past how I train my dogs so I thought I’d video little parts of his training to show everyone what I do.

This is the intro video and basically just my philosophy that I go by when training a dog. I am in no way a professional trainer so take what I say and make it work for yourself. If you are having serious issues with your dog, consult a professional.

Another important note is how I picked Maverick. This can apply when getting a puppy or adult dog from a breeder like we did or from the shelter. Our good friends bred Maverick and his siblings so we got to visit them a few times. And I wasn’t even planning on getting one..but basically I was in love from the first moment I saw them.

Anyways. I knew I wanted a male dog and when we decided to seriously think about getting one it was actually just him and three brother left. I chose him because he came the easiest when I called the puppies and he was calm and submissive. If you pick a puppy or a dog that is naturally calm and submissive and attentive to you, it will make training way easier.

So here is the video! Let me know what specific things you want to see and I’ll try to catch them on camera. {Also, I promise I’ll film the correct direction one of these days…} Check out the rest of the posts in this series here.

    Yes! I am so excited you are starting this series of video/instructions on dog training! I would love to see how you potty train (especially with an old stubborn dog), leash training (or not needing to walk with a leash) and training them to only stay in a certain area, whether that’s in your yard or like how Zoe would only stay in your parents kitchen! You’re so awesome Alli!

      You are awesome Chelsey! I’m excited you are looking forward to the videos. I wasn’t sure if anyone would care, ha! I will definitely cover all those topics. I’ll do some demo with Poppy and Maverick so we can be clear on differences between working with puppies and older dogs. I think it will be really great! I just gotta get better at filming…. 🙂
