Comments on: The 6 Essential Tools I Use When Training My Puppy https://puppyintraining.com/6-essential-tools-use-training-puppy/ Dog Lovers | Puppy Experts Mon, 23 Oct 2023 21:23:30 +0000 hourly 1 By: Zoe Campos https://puppyintraining.com/6-essential-tools-use-training-puppy/#comment-389590 Thu, 30 Jan 2020 19:33:49 +0000 https://puppyintraining.com/?p=21994#comment-389590 I encountered a puppy in a bad condition two weeks ago and brought him home, but my mother scolded me for it. She told me never to let it roam around the house and I’m constantly worried because I figured he’s quite the playful type. I’m really thankful for this article for proving information on what tools we could use to train our puppies, and I think my puppy would love having treats after doing a good job. If everything else fails, I’d just look for some puppy obedience training available near us to make sure my mother allows me to keep him.

He’s crate trained and does wonderful. My problem is this. We are going to have to move his crate to another room in the house. I don’t work and so he’s only in the crate at night and maybe a few hours a week during the day.
Any suggestions on how I can make this transition easier?

I have a gentle leader and another similar product called a snoot loop, but I’ve never had the Halti brand. I don’t use the gentler leaders that often, but I do know that many of the guide and service dog schools use them with their puppies in training.

I love my leather leash! And they get better with age. I have a treat pouch with a draw string and the PetSafe one in the picture. Let me know how you like the treat pouch with the magnetic closure. I’m always looking for better products to help with the puppy training.

Have you heard of/tried the Halti? It’s essentially the same concept as the Gentle Leader, except that the Halti is padded and a British brand, if I’m not mistaken. I started with Gentle Leaders for both pups, but then upgraded both to a Halti when I saw those in a pet store. No more rubbing (I had the same problem).

I’ve heard good things about the ones with the magnetic closure, so I might actually look into upgrading to one of those. The one I currently have needs to be drawn shut with a string.

Thank you for training service dog puppies! If you haven’t seen that behavior before I would guess that it could have been stress related. I would have done the same as you. Anytime I take my puppy out with me I’m always prepared to leave just in case the situation is to stressful for my puppy. Good luck with your puppy in training! Happy Holidays!

This is the 3rd pup i have trained, the first washed out at 18 months, 2nd is now retired. It has been nine years since I trained a pup. I would like to get your opinion/take on something that happened this weekend with my 8 month old pup. We
were training, socializing, walking around an outside mall type center. There was a Christmas wagon with horses giving rides through the parking lot, this was a new experience of my pup. We sat on a bench and that is when he started to growl and bark at two different people that came past us. He was under control, except he was vocal. I corrected and redirected him. We felt maybe it was overload for him and headed back to the car, he didn’t bark or growl at anyone after that. I was wondering if you have had this happen with any of your pups in training and how you handled it. Thanks

I’ll have to revisit this one and see about putting together a video. Let me know if there’s anything else you’re interested in seeing in a video.
