Training Your New Puppy

Deciding to get a pet is a huge commitment. However, it's when you get them home that the real work begins! They say having a puppy can be just as much work as having a new born baby.
  • Barking through the night
  • "Accidents" on the floor
  • Being oblivious to your command
  • Chewing your favourite shoes

These are all things that new owners deal with. A lot of books out there deal with training full grown dogs, not puppies! Would it not be easier to teach your puppy right off the bat than have to re-train and break those habits when they are older?

There is a resource I have found that promotes a positive training environment for your puppy. Feel free to check it out.
