Potty spraysare good to encourage your dog to eliminate at the designated potty spot you have set up. Don’t forget to reward your dog with a high value treat each time it eliminates at the designated spot! Having a training pouch to store the treats that your dog loves helps greatly in dog behavioural training. 

For puppies that are teething, it is handy to have a no-chew spray to protect your furniture from getting chewed. To complement this, get a range of different toys for your puppy! KONG toys are one of the best dog toys around and they have many good quality chew toys that are durable for your puppy.

For dog parents training their dogs to walk well on leash, getting a comfortable harness will help greatly. Here at Good Dog People, we carry a big range of top quality harnesses for your choosing. You are sure to find one that works for your dog.

It is never too late to start. However, the earlier you start puppy training or dog training, the better and more receptive your dog will be towards the training. That is to say, more effort and time will be needed for training an older dog than a puppy.

Basic obedience training includes teaching a dog a few important commands that can help them stay safe away from danger, enjoy their daily walks and play dates. Here are a few commands that you will want to teach your dog as soon as they come home with you:

Recall training – teaching the dog to come on command; Sitting training – teaching the dog to sit on command; Walking or heeling training – teaching the dog to walk on or off lead with the handler; Staying training – teaching the dog not to stray on command; Sociability training – teaching the dog not to be aggressive to humans, other dogs or other animals.

Once your dog masters these commands, you can give yourself a pat on the back! Check out Good Dog Peoplefor the tools and treats you can use in your journey to becoming a responsible dog owner.
