Dog Training & Puppy Training Tips
Basic Puppy Training It is important to start training your puppy from the first day you got him. Puppy is very similar to a baby as he is going through set periods of psychological and physical development. More advanced training of puppies should only start at around six months of age. Prior to this it is important to lay down the foundation between the owner and the puppy. The stronger the bond made during this time, the easier it will be to train the dog when he grows up. Before advanced training can begin a puppy should be able to come recognize his name, walk on lead, able to come by command and know “off” command. Try to teach a puppy like it’s a game, so he doesn’t get bored and is interested in training.
Why dog parks are bad! At first dog park can seem like a great idea for socializing and dog training. A dog park seems like a place where a lot of different dogs can meet, play and exercise having great time off leash. In a perfect dog park each owner would pay attention to his and other dogs, no fights would break out, no children running unsupervised. Sadly that is far from reality. Dog parks are rather dangerous for dogs and especially for puppies.
