Papillon Training - Rule of Seven and Other Great Socialization Methods
- 23/11/2010
Socialization of your new furry family friend will have lasting effect and benefits on its overall health. Depending on the thoroughness of your dog's breeder, he or she ought to have provided the dog critical opportunities to enjoy sounds and sights new to them. As the dog's new owner, you now hold the job of exposing the dog to the world it lives in. Think of these papillon training events as precious chances to interact with the dog, and also avenues for the dog's personality to be better formed.
Here in this article, we will go over information on how to manage your Papillon's plan for socialization.
One interesting papillon training tip familiar to breeders is called the Rule of Seven. In this method, the puppy is supposed to have been already exposed to seven different areas in town, seven different people, seven different ground and floor surfaces, etc. by the time they reach seven weeks old.
To get the pups to be even more used to human hustle and bustle, many Pap breeders bring the litter (even if just a few weeks old) to a spot in the home where activity is slightly more concentrated, like the kitchen.
Since owners will also want their Papillon to be trained in a controlled environment, a solution here is obedience classes. The age of your pup will determine whether it will join Puppy Kindergarten or Beginning Obedience. Dogs can derive from these not only good stimulation, but also helpful inputs on starting out with obedience skills.
This list of tips will also not be complete if we do not mention what is possibly the best socialization exercise, which is walking your dog. Aside from bringing your dog to the local dog park or training center, try out play dates at some dog-friendly area. Just a word of caution; keep an eye on other dogs around you since other owners may not be as careful as you are in checking how well-behaved their dogs are. You also need to be aware that a few large dogs may actually regard your Pap as "prey"!
Last among these papillon training tips is the need to respect your pup's say as to whether it wants to join something new. Get the dog up and ready with your happy voice, treats, and a toy, but in any case get your dog to decide. If there is a way to help the dog to feel secure, or to get the dog to demand that it be allowed to join the fun, it would be thanks to your encouragement, patience, and very affectionate and loving way of communicating with the dog.
