Female Focus Being a puppy
We all love puppies, we love to hug them hold them play with them, at this stage they are baby dogs, and they are also extremely cute. Puppies are great fun and everybody loves them, but what happens when they grow up? We feel that a puppy’s education is the foundation of a dog’s life.
When a puppy arrives at our home we are excited to get to know the new member of the family, it’s all fun and games, many people will allow exceptions at this time if the puppy misbehaves and generally is allowed to do as he or she pleases. In many cases like this, the puppy grows up learning that these bad behaviours are acceptable.
This is why it is very important to educate your new family member from the moment they arrive, not only will he or she grow up to be a respectable member of the family, but they will also feel comfortable and grounded, as they will know where they stand and what they are allowed and what they are not allowed to do.
The fi rst step is socialising, it is very important that you introduce your puppy to as many different elements as possible, from learning how to meet and greet other canines down the street, to a play date in the garden or even meeting other species, the more your puppy learns about the great outdoors will prevent them from phobias and aggression to other dogs.
Obedience training with positive reinforcement should be the only way to teach your puppy, this system is very easy not just for you but also for them. It applies a simple method when the puppy does the desired command we praise them and give them a treat. Therefore teaching them what to do, rather than scolding them for undesired behaviour.
What we must remember is that everything we teach and show our puppy is for life. Soon we plan to start work on some interesting projects with puppies and unsocialised dogs, please feel free to email or call us if you would like any more information on this matter.
