Making a plan is your first task before you start training a puppy, as it will help a great deal in the transition for your new puppy to his new strange new world from his comfy and secure home with his mother. Puppies can become very stressed and anxious when parted from his family, and he finds himself in new and unfamiliar surroundings with a whole range of new and unknown faces and scents.

Adult dogs can also experience separation anxiety by seemingly needless alterations to their living environment. Don’t forget your dog will need lots of reassurance when you take him away from his old home; he’ll just notice that his friends are gone and he doesn’t recognize anything.

Although it is not always possible, an ideal plan would be to visit your puppy or dog at his current home. He will already know you this way when he moves in with you. When you start out discovering, how to train a puppy you’ll find he’s much more eager to learn being that you’re good friends already. If you can’t make friends in this way, you can always take a piece of his current house to his new home, like maybe a piece of clothing that he’s slept on, or any other item he recognizes that will help him settle down and adjust to his new home.

Pretty much everybody agrees that the best time to introduce your puppy to his new home is when you will be at home for a few days on the trot. This way you’ll always be there while he’s finding his feet. A holiday period is perfect. But you do need to be at home with your dog during the holidays. Don’t bring a new dog home and then pack him off to a boarding kennel while you take a three-week cruise. You need to have at least a couple of days at home, and help him overcome any separation anxiety he may experience.

As humans, we prepare, decorate and equip the home for a new baby where we buy all the things we’ll need for the babies needs, training puppies should be no different. Doesn’t your new four legged member of the family deserve the same.
