Puppy Training

So many people make mistakes when training their dogs, because they are not consistent with their training. Remember that a new puppy does not know the rules of the house. They must be shown what to do, and we must expect them to make some mistakes along the way. Dogs do not rationalize like humans do. Also, dogs rely on instinct until humans train them, so when a dogs bites at you over food, they are not trying to get you back or be bad. Their instinct tells them to fight for food, until a human shows them another way. Being calm and assertive is the key to getting dogs to respect us. It is also important to start training them right away, and do not let an unwanted behavior go unchecked. If you are a strong pack leader, your dog will love you, and follow you all the days of their lives. It is natural for a dog to be in a pack in the wild. So as you train them to be a part of your pack, it is only natural for them to assume that role. But, if you do not take charge, then they will. They always look so cute when we bring them home, but any dog can go bad if not properly trained. Please seek out a professional like myself so you can get on the road to a well balanced dog that will bring you, and your family many years of joy.
