Puppy training
pup·py
noun
a young dog.
Each puppy has his or her own personality and temperament. The fun part of raising a puppy is that you get to find out who your puppy is and what he or she is like.
Remember:
-keep training times short
-you can do several short training sessions each day
-never say a cue word unless you know the puppy will do the behavior
-never say a cue word more than once
-always offer a great reward
-don't get discouraged
-never hit a puppy (or a dog) for a correction; it will only make them afraid of you
-when you get frustrated, go back to something you do well together or go play
