How to train a four-month-old Teddy

Four months old is a good time to start basic training. Here are some training suggestions:


1. Socialization: Make sure your Teddy has positive social experiences with a variety of people, other animals, and the environment. Take him to parks, neighborhoods, and pet-friendly places where he can interact with other dogs and people. This helps shape its positive and friendly social behavior.


2. Schedule regular training time: Schedule some time each day for training, but be careful to keep it short and interesting. Puppies have shorter attention spans, so scattered, short-term training will be more effective.


3. Basic command training: Start teaching Teddy some basic commands, such as sit, standby, give me, etc. Use simple gestures and vocal commands, and give rewards and praise to reinforce correct responses.


4. Balance incentives and corrections: Use positive incentives, such as treats, praise, and play, to reward Teddy for correct behavior. At the same time, when necessary, corrections are made in a gentle and consistent manner to ensure that normative behavior is established.


5. Home training: Train Teddy’s basic hygiene habits at home, such as excreting in designated diapers or pet toilets. Monitor its behavior, take it to the right place in time, and give rewards and praise to encourage its correct behavior.


6. Politeness training: Teach Teddy basic polite behaviors, such as leaving or putting down the food bowl, not biting, and not jumping. Use clear instructions and consistent corrections to establish good courteous behavior.


7. Promote training: Gradually expand training to different environments and occasions to ensure that Teddy can correctly execute instructions in various situations.


It's important to remember that training takes time, patience, and consistency. Use positive rewards and incentives to build positive interactions and trust. If you get stuck, consider seeking help from a professional dog trainer who can provide more specific guidance and training options.
