Recommended Reading

Socialization

How to think first and set your puppy up to succeed (prevent problems from occurring from day number one)!

Tips on toys, exercise, training options, and training equipment.

Goal is to help first time puppy parents or puppy parents who have not had puppies in a while, to start off on the right foot, and set your puppy up to succeed in it's new home by using positive and humane training methods.

Please keep in mind puppies learn from the first day you bring them home....  You have two choices they can either learn from you (the behavior you want and expect) or they can learn from their environment on their own (generally speaking when they learn from their environment, on their own, it leads to behavior you do not want; the longer the behavior occurs the harder it will be to fix down the road!).
