Small Puppy Training
The reason why dog lovers possess this preconceived idea that small dogs are more difficult to train than medium sized or larger breed canines, I will never be able to figure out. Small dog training should not be problematic.
Small dog training, is in no way different from training a dog of any other bigger sized breed. Whilst training any dog will have its peculiarities, related to its breed, most all other elements remain similar, and the strategy to training the dog should stay the same, irrespective its size.
Never the less, I will grant an allowance here, and say yes to the argument that small dog training may pose problems in two arenas, (1) Aggression and (2) Puppy Crate Training. Nonetheless, this is not because the size of the breed is small, but in all case studies, because of the owner.
If a smaller breed puppy dog is aggressive and poses a training problem, or if a smaller breed puppy cannot be toilet trained or poses challenges in being toilet trained, it is the owner who has unwittingly contributed to this state of affairs. Let us analyze how and why.
Aggression.
Smaller dogs are enjoyed because they are pretty, they are like toys. Owners enjoy having their doggy sit on their laps. This indulgence is where the difficulty commences. The natural aggressive nature of the canine, is to declare ownership over its sector, its food, even its master; all dogs desire to be the alpha dog.
It is the ruthless streak in the dog that makes it to climb on to the lap of its master, particularly when there are a good number of individuals seated in the room.
This is a outright act of hostility. Instead of chiding the dog, every owner with the exception of none, would hug the pooch, even though it jumped on to their lap unbeckoned, developing the aggressive streak in the puppy. Therefore the owner has okayed the puppy’s inherent need to be the alpha dog.
Growling and getting angry at a much bigger dog is another outright act of hostility. To the owner, and even the onlookers, this is regarded as cute, because one dog is tiny while the other is larger. Most owners pet and pat the dog instead of chastising it, when it demonstrates this aggression towards a larger dog.
The above mentioned are but good examples as to why smaller breed puppies are aggressive, and not because small dog training is very difficult.
Bathroom Training
Owners are inclined to haul their small pets around where ever they go, even at home and that makes it very difficult to toilet train them
It comes natural to the owners of smallish breed dogs to lug the animal to the place where the puppy should go to the toilet and then cart it back into the house.
It is this routine of carrying the pooch to the place where is should do its business that is the start of all problems. In addition, as the pup is by and large carried around so often it has no way of it suggesting to or alerting the owner that it has to make its business.
Small dog training starts with treating the dog as any other large sized dog. They have to be taken to their toilet area on a leash. If owners cease carrying their tiny breed dogs they would be very successful in training them.
Dog crate training, is the most important part of puppy training, and so it can be, even in Small Dog Training.
