The best techniques to train a new puppy include positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, setting boundaries, and breaking down tasks into small, manageable steps. Reward and praise the puppy for behaviors you want to encourage, be consistent and consistent in commands, and remain patient but firm. Establish set boundaries for the puppy’s behavior, and use treats and toys to reward desired behaviors. When teaching a new task or command, break the task down into small, achievable steps and reward the pup for even the smallest improvements. Consistency is key for successful puppy training.
