Training
Train
your new friend! Not training him, her would
be like not educating a child. The price you
pay for quality instruction will pay off quickly
when you
think of the shoes not chewed, the children
not pushed over or nipped, and the lack of frustration
when the pup is house trained quickly. Begin
training or educating your pup the minute you
walk into your home. That doesn’t mean
he needs to answer the phone on one leg, but
a few basic rules will get you both off to a
good start.
