Publisher's Synopsis
You will be training your puppy from the moment you bring it home and start to house train. Puppies start learning from birth and good breeders begin handling and socialization right away. Some training can begin as soon as the puppy can open its eyes and walk. Young puppies have short attention spans but you can expect them to begin to learn simple obedience commands such as "sit," "down," and "stay," as young as 7 to 8 weeks of age.
In this beginner-friendly dog training manual, you'll find:
-Complete dog training―Get guidance for bringing your puppy home, crate and potty training, preventing food aggression, socializing, learning key commands, and leash walking.
-Prep and puppy-proofing―Explore the best ways to prepare for getting a puppy, from checking off an essential list of supplies to doing a safety check around your home.
-Tips and troubleshooting―Learn how to see each dog training step from your puppy's viewpoint and get quick advice in case things don't go according to plan.
