PUPPY FOUNDATION

A well-structured puppy program is crucial for setting a dog up for a lifetime of good behavior. It's about more than just basic commands; it's about building a strong foundation for social and emotional development.

Here's a breakdown of key components:

  • Exposure to various stimuli:

    • This includes different people (ages, appearances), other dogs, and environments (sounds, surfaces, etc.).

    • The goal is to create positive associations with these experiences.

    Controlled interactions:

    • Guidance on how to introduce puppies to new situations safely.

  • Fundamental commands:

    • "Sit," "down," "stay," "come," and "leave it."

    • Emphasis on positive reinforcement techniques.

    Leash manners:

    • Introducing the leash and harness.

    • Teaching loose-leash walking.

  • Potty training:

    • Establishing a reliable potty routine.

    • Preventing and addressing accidents.

    Crate training:

    • Creating a positive association with the crate.

    • Using the crate for safe confinement and rest.

    Bite inhibition:

    • Teaching puppies to control the force of their bites.

    • Addressing nipping and mouthing.

    Preventing problem behaviors:

    • Addressing common puppy issues like jumping, chewing, and barking.

  • Understanding puppy development:

    • Learning about key developmental stages.
