Puppy Training

Puppy training is something all new puppy owners must take on. Even after house training your new puppy, it is wise to go futher with some obedience lessons to ensure your puppy becomes a well socialize, well mannered adult dog.

Daily walks and/or play sessions are essential to helping your new puppy to learn what is and is not acceptable in human terms. It’s really important that you socialize your dog with other dogs as well as with humans. For a properly socialized dog to learn how to behave with other dogs, you can make play dates with other dogs and their owners. A few places you can go online to meet other dog owners looking for play dates for their dogs are:

• Zootoo.com – personal blog, classifieds, play date section
• PawSpot.com – play date section, dog friendly parks, message boards
• PlayDateBuddy.com – arrange play dates for your dog (paid membership required)

A puppy training class or course is another great option for making sure your puppy grows up to be a well mannered dog. A professional dog trainer can target your puppy’s specific needs. Perhaps your puppy is jumping up, not coming when called, a bit too aggressive during play or maybe your new puppy has seperation anxiety when you leave the house. All of these issues, and other common ones, can easily be addressed with puppy training from a professional trainer.
