Bringing Home A New Puppy

Introduce Your Dog to A Crate.
If you are getting ready to bring puppy home or if you have recently added a puppy to your family it is important that you start your training early but it is equally important that you start obedience training slowly.
play time is training time that you can both enjoy. Your new puppy will need to learn not only everything about the new house rules and the new family but, in many cases puppy has only had its Mom and litter mates to teach manners, so he needs to learn how to interact with humans. Be patient and you will both have fun. At this stage all you want to do is establish a relationship. And allow puppy time to learn your language. If you immediately start trying to train you may become frustrated when puppy does not respond.The first week or so that puppy comes home I recommend you just get to know each other. Enjoy watcing the reaction as you introduce him to new things.
Like chewing on a stick, or walking on a leash. 

And of course your puppy will need a lot of love and encouragement from you.
So spend some time enjoying the little one because they get big faster than kids do, and that's fast. 
You will be able to tell when your pup is ready to start the obedience training. He will be Paying attention to you, Looking to you for guidance etc, once you are both ready remember make it fun.


Next time I want to talk about teaching your pooch how to let you know he has business to do.
