Housetraining and Crate Training
While many people cringe at the thought of placing their new dog or puppy in a "cage", crate training is, in fact, a natural and relatively comfortable experience for the dog. As a rule, dogs, being den animals, feel safe and secure in small, confined areas. A crate is a piece of dog training equipment that is simply an artificial den. It makes housetraining much easier, and protects the dog and your home when you are not able to closely supervise your new companion.

Leash Training
Long walks with your dog are great exercise, and a great way to increase your bond with your dog. Teaching your dog to walk politely on a leash is the first step in creating a lifetime of good exercise and fun. You'll need dog training equipment such as dog training collars, leashes and treats. Remember that consistency is the key. Enrolling in a canine education class will give you a very good place to start, but if lessons learned in class are not reinforced or carried through at home, then very little will actually be learned.

Living with a Well-Mannered Dog
A well-mannered dog is fun to have around. Teaching your dog good manners becomes much easier once she has a solid understanding of the basic commands: "Sit," "Come," "Down," "Stay" and "Release." Dog training equipment such as dog training collars, leashes, and dog crates can be a huge help in your puppy's education. Well-mannered dogs are made, not born. No matter how well you train your dog, don't expect her to be perfect 100% of the time.

Keeping Your Dog Off Furniture
By nature, your dog is a territorial animal and will claim many areas and objects in the house, including the furniture, unless you give him some guidance. One of the basic requirements for dog discipline and training is for the trainer (you) to be consistent. One course of action is to train your dog to "sit," "stay," and "lie down." Give these commands as you sit on the furniture so your dog realizes his place is at your feet. Dog training collars can also help teach your dog that furniture is not part of his territory.
