Every home has a different flow and, therefore, different rules for people and pets. Every house member must sit down together to discuss house rules for incoming pets. Doing this before the pet arrives will ease the transition for all. There are many things to consider when talking about house rules
The last thing everyone should work out together is a puppy schedule. This includes potty times, feeding times, walks, and play. Everyone should agree on a good plan and take turns completing each daily task. Talk to your trainier for help with any schedule questions.
Taking your puppy to training classes is a top priority not only for them but for you too. Dog's do not speak English nor understand what the house rules are. It is up to you to get into training classes so you can learn how to communicate and teach your dog what good behavior means to you.
Having as many family members involved as possible is also essential. This creates an excellent bond for the puppy and each family member. Plus, having everyone involved with the same training will increase your consistency with your new pup. There were numerous miscommunications between pet parents and their pets, creating a lot of frustration in my experience. Learning from a professional how to work out all the kinks will encourage a peaceful, happy home.
There are many types of training available, so research which will work best for you. As a dog trainer, I practiced and now encourage positive reinforcement training. It allows your dog to think through the challenge at hand, and it is long-lasting. Here are a few resources I found.
