When to Start Puppy Training

It has come to my attention that too many owners just coddle their two-and-three month-old "babies" and think that puppy training can start later. NO! All puppies -- and especially the more intelligent and spirited ones -- must be "trained" and directed from day one with consistency, with You clearly as the Master!

If you love your child, you will train your child. That protects your child, lets him know with confidence what is expected, and instills the joy of intrinsic reward for good behavior and a job well done. Why should it be any different with your puppy?

Just look at some of the benefits from training young puppies -- a happy, secure puppy, a happy and relieved owner, and a happy and intact home. Even your belongings would thank you if they could!

• Training helps provide behavioral boundaries, which makes the puppy feel more secure.
• Training helps remove puppy boredom, thereby lessening temptation to cause trouble.
• Training helps the pup release energy, too, so it is less destructive or frustrated.
• Training gives the animal a source of pride, a proper goal for which to strive, and achievement about which to strut with regal, dignified, proud bearing and the clear satisfaction of pleasing.
