Having a new puppy can be an exciting and sometime challenging experience.  As a new puppy owner, it is important to realise your role and how your behaviour shapes the behaviour of your growing puppy. 

Your influence over your puppy begins the moment you first make contact and as soon as you bring your new puppy home. Whether or not you are enrolled in formal training, you are still directing behaviour and establishing patterns in your dog’s life.  By not teaching or setting limits for your puppy, you are possibly contributing to future behaviour patterns and problems. This is especially true when it comes to teaching your puppy proper house-training habits.

Here’s some expert advice from a dog training PROFESSIONAL with the information you need to get your new puppy off to a great start!
