I'm very excited about this!
Krista Cantrell is my favorite dog trainer by far!
She's just released some great step-by-step videos that show you how to eliminate 95% of all dog behavior issues by working with your dog's natural instincts.
I have a few of her books and love the way she teaches. Not to mention that her stuff really works.

Opening the door to your home for your brand new puppy is a sensation that just can’t be explained. Watching their curiosity as they examine and investigate their new surroundings is precious. Despite the fact that this is a very thrilling occasion, some foundations should begin without delay. Puppy obedience training is the first step in an ongoing process that starts right when you bring your puppy home.
You can do this in a number of ways. The key here is to use positive feedback and reinforcement when your puppy exhibits desired behaviors. If your puppy acts in an undesirable way you need to make use of appropriate corrective methods. You need to make sure you don’t ignore any kind of behavior, whether desired or undesirable. Repetition will help us establish proper learning. You need to be consistent with the verbal commands and make puppy obedience training a daily habit.
When your puppy behaves well mannered or acts in a desired way we will let them know with treats or positive verbal praise. Don’t forget that repetition will be the key to learning. While dogs are exceptionally intelligent the process of learning something new takes a little practice for anyone.
Spanking your puppy or putting it’s snout in their accident is tempting to some but not effective when it comes to puppy obedience training. This ultimately just makes your puppy afraid of you. This does not form a healthy bond. Do you think she will come when you call out, if she thinks she is going to get a smack?
Chewing is a natural part of being a puppy however they do not yet know what is acceptable to chew. Make sure you let them know by using a firm “No” or “Bad”. Consistency is important so pick your word and stick to it. When you find him chewing on something that is undesirable make sure he knows. But then give him something else to chew on and praise him for chewing the acceptable toy
Biting is something all puppy’s do and their sharp teeth hurt. It’s not that they are trying to be hurtful, they are babies and teething is natural. You do need to set limits, you should not permit your puppy to gnaw hands or feet. Patience will be essential here. If she bites you make sure that she knows she hurt you by yelping. Use a firm voice and instantly stop playing. She will learn that biting ends playtime.
Remember to set a schedule to get both of you on the same page. Get your puppy used to waking up and going outside to use the bathroom at the same time each morning. You should feed your puppy at the same time each day as well. How much food you feed your puppy and how often you should leave food out with be different for every breed. Don’t forget to schedule in some play time. Consistency will help with training.
Even though your new puppy is a great deal of fun she/he does not come without work. But with some patience, consistency and repetition your puppy can be trained and respectful in no time at all. Puppy obedience training will help your pup grow into a well mannered dog and give you tons of joy and companionship for many years to come!
