Through years of research it’s been determined that training should start the moment your pet sets foot in your home. Almost all puppies are bought or adopted while they’re six to seven weeks old; nevertheless, they can begin early on to train and become socialized as young as two to three weeks. Their minds are similar to sponges, merely waiting to soak up stimuli and education.
Dog training is more than just telling your dog to stop doing what he’s doing. Dog training is trust, you are teaching him that he can feel safe and know that you will take care of him. Also it’s not necessarily a difficult process but it is a process which requires a great deal of patience as well as the ability to interpret which types of training techniques are most effective for the particular dog you are training. Training is a process that we do with our dogs not to our dogs. Dog training is for every dog or puppy. The important thing about dog training is to get started today.
I am a dog lover who came late to the realization that I really enjoy the companionship of my dogs. It was not until I started dating my wife and met her black cocker spaniel spiffy, that I started to realize how much dogs can contribute to your life. After Spiffy died, we got a chocolate lab named Katie who lived until she was ten years old. Katie was originally my stepson’s dog and we inherited her by default. It was Katie who taught me to love dogs, especially labs.
