THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Great dane puppy training is an interesting yet challenging part of owning a dog. It is in the course of this period where you are teaching your young pet not only tricks to amuse others but most importantly, you are molding him to grow as a respectful, loving, kind and devoted family member. While obedience classes or hiring a professional dog trainer is said to be the best and quickest approach for successful training, training at home can be equally effective. Furthermore, training at home will give more chance for you to know more about your dog, what sort of approach he best responds to and what are the things that scare him the most. It’s also through this that bond, trust and respect for each other are built.

When training your puppy at home, it’s always best to arm yourself with the knowledge of the most effective and useful training approach. Here are a few suggestions you may want to ponder:

Prepare your tools.
Increase the likelihood of getting positive training result by using the appropriate dog training tools. These include but not limited to treats, training collar, leash, crate, clicker and more. Uncover what is best suited for your pet and stick to that particular tool. You can utilize more than one tool though.

Choose the best location.
Obtaining your pup’s undivided focus is one of the things that can contribute to successful great dane puppy training. However, puppies are naturally curious creatures and are easily distracted with different sights and sounds. To maintain uninterrupted training, find an area where there is less distractions. You can switch location only if your dog has perfected that particular command you are teaching him.

Make training periods short.
Puppies are not only easily distracted, they do have short attention span too. Prolonged and less challenging training sessions could easily bore them so better make it brief and extra fun. Ten to 15 minutes of training for around three to four times a day would be enough.

End on a positive note.
Always make each training session a positive encounter for your dog in order to keep his attention and make him want to look forward for the next sessions ahead.
