Your Puppys Early Training - Staying Alone

Never give a puppy the run of the house. If you don't have a play pen or a wire cage, keep the puppy in the bathroom or kitchen with a gate across the door. Put papers on the floor. Take away things a puppy might chew (like rugs and chairs) and give him a toy to play with. (He will love one made of rawhide.) Look in often and if he is being good, tell him "Good boy!"

STAYING ALONE

Most kennel owners will tell you, "The first thing your puppy must learn is to stay alone so he won't bark when you leave him." Staying alone also teaches a puppy not to chew or wet in spite.

Give your puppy a clock that ticks loudly, a hot water bottle to cuddle against, or leave a radio playing, but don't go to him when he yells. Puppies like to have you come back to them even if it means a spanking.

Instead, toss a magazine or a small pan at the door and say "Quiet!" Do this every time your puppy makes a fuss and he will soon learn to stay alone quietly.
