Teaching Your Puppy To Come When Called    When you call your dog to come, does he ignore you? Don't feel jilted! He simply needs to learn a recall cue. Use Rewards To Train Your Dog. Many dogs will ignore their owner's plea to come when called because they have never had an incentive to do so. Why should a dog stop doing what he loves like sniffing for squirrels to come inside? For treats of course! Using positive reinforcement training,you can teach your dog to come when called.Here are some dog training tips that will help. Teaching your dog to come when called works best when your dog already knows his name and has a decent food drive. Teach Your Dog To Listen For Cues First, take your dog to a fenced in yard or a contained park. Using an extra long leash (15-30 feet), allow your dog to explore the surroundings. When your dog is distracted, call his name (Fido!) followed by the cue (Come!). When he turns and looks toward you, use your indicator word (Yes!) or clicker and start moving backwards encouraging him to chase you. When he catches you give him lots of treats. Be sure to release him (Okay!) and then repeat the exercise. If your dog doesn't turn and orient toward you, pick up the end of the leash and moving backwards, gently bring him in to you. Experiment with the length of the leash - dogs who are easily distracted by elements in the environment may need to start on a shorter leash (for instance a standard 6 foot leash). When your dog is able to respond reliably on the 6 foot leash, move up to a 15 foot leash, then a 30 foot leash. Practice The Recall Cue: Come When Called Keep in mind, most dogs will need lots and lots of practice on leash, before they can respond reliably to the recall off leash. Also be aware that high-value distractions like other dogs, people, and noises may take precedence over your food reward. This is why it is so important to practice the recall with a long leash so that you can enforce the cue every time. Repitition is key! Training The Fun Way: Play The Recall Game Here is a fun recall game you can play in your backyard and it will reinforce the recall cue - increasing the chances that your dog will come when called when you are not playing the recall game. You will need a friend or family member to assist you. Standing some distance apart from the other person, take turns calling your dog giving him a treat each time he runs to you. This is a fun and easy way to teach the recall cue and best of all, it keeps the learning experience positive and rewarding for both you and your dog!          Puppies and children There are many benefits to the relationship between puppies and children. The following  will provide tips that will help make that relationship memorable and lasting. Watchpoints: young children and puppies Veterinarians often advise parents to wait until their children are between 7 and 9 before having a puppy join the family. But this is not always realistic and, with supervision, smaller children and puppies can live happily together. Supervision is important for many reasons. Toddlers may think that puppies are toys that enjoy having their tails pulled, and puppies may mistake toddlers for littermates, and be rougher with them as a result. Children and puppies may decide it's a good idea to try each other's food; because of this, it's important to keep dog food out of reach of babies and toddlers. Some types of puppy food and treats could lodge in a child's throat, and a baby or toddler might cause a puppy to be ill by feeding him the wrong kinds of food, or too much food. How puppies benefit children As children become older they can take some of the responsibility for the puppy's care, as long as an adult supervises. Many parents bring a puppy into the family to teach their child responsibility. But it's important to remember that children generally have short attention spans, and that the parent is responsible for the puppy's care. A puppy can teach a child many lessons. While learning about the importance of brushing their puppy's teeth, for example, a child may understand why it's important for them to brush their teeth and practice proper grooming. Puppies love unconditionally and children who are lonely, or have high demands placed on them, often find that a puppy provides a non-judgmental friend and relieves stress. And, because puppies communicate differently than humans, they teach children to be aware of body language and non-verbal communication. This helps to instill compassion and sensitivity in children.     Potty Training First, if you let them eat all day they will go potty all day. In order to train them to use the restroom outside you need to be there each time puppy needs to go potty, and that is very hard to do. My suggestion is to feed and water your puppy in the morning about 5 min after puppy is finished puppy will start truning around and a round smelling the ground, when puppy does this tell puppy, out- side or another small simple word. They cannot understand a lot of words. They have a vocabulary of about 10 words. Then take puppy out side, and repeat the word until puppy goes potty, then praise puppy. Do this again at each feeding. Unless it is hot, puppy will not need water left out.     How to Train Your Dog to Sit
Use patience, encouragement and treats to teach your dog one of the most basic of all commands, "Sit."
	Steps:
1.	Stand in front of your dog.
2.	Hold a treat right near your pet's nose, just out of his or her reach.
3.	Slowly move the treat over your pup's head and toward his or her tail.
4.	Say your dog's name, and give the command "Sit."
5.	Keep the treat at nose level. If the treat is held too high, the dog will jump.
6.	Say the word "good" at the exact second the dog sits.
7.	Praise abundantly and give your pet a treat for any movement that resembles the sit position.
8.	Release your pet from the sit position with the "release" or "free" command.
9.	Repeat for 5 minutes.
