Not only are they big, they can be awkward in movement and can shove their owners aside. Saint Bernard puppies are like little giants and training them needs to be taken at a slow but sure pace. Before potty training the dog, it is assumed that other basic training aspects have been covered.

This includes having it know where it should sleep, understanding commands such as SIT, STAY and COME through daily practice and most of all, the firm “NO” as to curb any unwanted actions that can develop in to bad habits. Potty training can start by having a regular feeding routine. Irregularity in schedules can make the digestive time unpredictable. The breed must also have a set time when it is to go outside. By doing this consistently, the dog will know that he can go out at a certain time to do his business.

Common Mistakes. http://saintbernardpuppiesblog.com/blog/2010/06/21/how-to-train-your-saint-bernard-common-mistakes/ http://saintbernardpuppiesblog.com/blog/2010/06/21/how-to-train-your-saint-bernard-common-mistakes/#comments Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:18:35 +0000 Big Dog http://saintbernardpuppiesblog.com/?p=1100 The narrow line between training and abuse

Many dog owners think that their Bernie is the smartest in the world. There’s no problem with this, up to certain a point. This point is when the owner expects as much from the dog as if it really was the most intelligent creature the world has ever seen. They expect them to learn everything right away, whereas dogs need time to learn things, the same way as we, humans do. Just in a different way :) Well, the point is, that training requires time and patience. It can be different for all dogs, but we do have to keep this in mind and take the time and energy to train our Saint Bernard.

Another common mistake (also because of the lack of patience) is to give up. Many people think that they have already tried everything but the dog doesn’t want to learn. In this case, maybe the methods are not the best, or they need more time. There are no dogs who wouldn’t be able to learn at least a few commands. Giving up is never a solution.

So, if we have the time and the patience we can avoid the next, and maybe the biggest mistake: to turn training into abuse. Probably you expect me to tell you where this line is. I can’t. This is something the owner should know. Training is all about communication. If you know your Saint Bernard, if you pay attention to him, you see how he feels. Unfortunately many dog owners don’t have this ability, because they only keep pets for entertainment, while a dog is much more than that.

Going back to training, a very important rule is that your goal should be that your Saint Bernard obeys to commands because he is keen to do so. NOT BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID. Many-many owners forget about this, and feel the training successful, but actually they are making their dog unhappy. How can someone live happily in fear? No way. These owners are only keeping a dog to make themselves happy, and don’t feel the responsibility they should.

So the point is, that ‘positive training’ is possible. Actually, that’s the only way.

The first difficulties most Saint Bernard owners face is potty training their puppy. As with general training, the main principles remain the same: a positive, rewarding approach and a lot of patience is required. There are, however a few tips and tricks that will make the whole process faster and easier for both puppy and owner. Find out what Sharda Baker has to say on the topic, who has developed her best practices by years of trial and error.

Why spend money on vet bills, if you can do it too?
