Puppy First

Your puppy has a life of its own, it has its own needs, it has its own wants and depending on its breed, of course, its own nature and lifestyle. Even though you are most likely not a teacher or a specialist in raising your puppy we are here to help you learn how to become the master of your dog.

When we first begin the venture of getting a Bullmastiff puppy and raising one, most of us are dummies. That is why we are here, to gain more knowledge and a better understanding what it takes to raise our puppy. The goal here at “Puppy Training for Dummies” is simple, it is to help you learn more about what you will need to know to keep, raise and teach your puppy how to become a better dog.

It will not turn you into a seasoned professional from an absolute novice. What it will do is bring you some of the basic, yet extremely important facts which will help you avoid possible discipline and health problems you might encounter while raising your Bullmastiff puppy.

Quite often dog owners fail to consider these facts and as a result they end up giving up, only causing their dog behavior problems to become worse! Giving up is never a solution. So, let’s rumble, instead…

Bullmastiff puppy training can be a chore; but for many it is a pleasurable art. And with just a little work and knowledge it can be the same for you. This is where dummy puppy owners differ from the rest. A dummy owner might think that their Bullmastiff puppy is the smartest dog in the world. They may expect as much from their puppy. They often treat it as if it were the most intelligent creature in the world and must learn everything right away.

They find it difficult to realize that a Bullmastiff puppy may, as does any other puppy, need time to learn things. Often this lack of patience may lead them to think that they have tried everything but their puppy just doesn’t seem to want to learn. The question here is. Has everything they tried also included all the things they need to know about raising and training a Bullmastiff puppy?

As you are training it your “Bullmastiff puppy” is continuously learning. It is a fact, they are very eager to learn. That is one of the major differences that set them apart from many other breeds. So the first and foremost thing we want you to understand in “Puppy Training for Dummies” is this, your dog will be learning by default. So the question you might address is, not how much your puppy can learn but what it is learning. Mainly is it learning good or bad habits?

Another important point in Puppy Training for Dummies is about having positive training attitude, this will help put you in a win-win frame of mind. What we mean by this is that when training your puppy you should keep this in mind. Your puppy obeys your commands because it is keen to do so, not because it is afraid of you.

People who take the latter view are more likely to treat their puppies harshly. In the end they feel happy that their training was successful, but actually, they end up raising an unhappy dog. Think of your poor dog. How can fear possibly bring happiness for him? The bottom-line is this: raise your dog with Puppy First attitude.

Finally, as you leave our Puppy Training for Dummies mini workshop one most important, all-in-one piece of advice we want you to take with you is this. Educate yourself about raising your Bullmastiff puppy. Do not stop learning. This way you will be able to teach your puppy (later on your dog) to continue to learn.

Furthermore, in order for you to always stay one step ahead of your dog, and more importantly, to keep your dog from manipulating your behavior instead of the other way round, set yourself on learning so you will learn too.

To sum up, here are five things we have covered in this Bullmastiff Puppy – Puppy Training for Dummies mini workshop:

1. Have patience and treat your puppy with a Puppy First attitude

2. Trust your puppy for its innate tendency and potential of learning

3. Allow your puppy sufficient time to assimilate what you teach it

5. Learn, learn, learn, and always continue to learn
