Hounds Town USA provides tips for training a new dog, emphasizing the importance of a consistent routine. The tips include introducing the dog to visitors and enrolling in training.
The most important thing in training a new dog is giving them a consistent routine.
“Sometimes we try to fit a dog into our life and feed them when we can and walk them when we can and do what we can and think that dogs can respond consistently,” Bottesch told the outlet. “But the dog can only respond consistently when they feel safe and secure. And the way to do that is the same as a human being. They thrive on routine.”
Other tips included introducing the dog to visitors, registering the dog’s microchip, purchasing a white noise machine for loud, unexpected noises such as fireworks and enrolling your new dog in training.
