Puppy Essential Training
Puppies are generally a blank slate, don’t take this lightly. Stay positive with your puppy and make learning a fun experience. I like to keep puppies moving and engaged, because if you don’t, you will lose their attention. Be sure to consider the importance of crate training and give your puppy breaks in the crate throughout the day.
Never train your puppy if you’re in a bad mood or if you don’t have the time. This is a critical part of their development. Be sure to socialize your puppy in positive environments. Don’t let your puppy meet dogs you’re not sure of. Protect your puppy and teach them well. You are your puppy’s entire world.
