How Vital Is Early Canine Training?

By Billie Johnson


You might be one of those dog owners who are thinking, I have a really bad puppy and I don't know what to do with him. The best thing is for the puppy to be sent in a dog school. They should be trained as early as now because they might continue some of their bad habits and those might develop into really bad ones.

Don't you worry, your puppy won't feel nervous on his first day in school. Chances are, he will definitely enjoy his time there. He might probably want to do it more often since he is outside, meeting other people and puppies as well.

"You can't teach an old dog new tricks." This saying has been around quite a while but this is only partly true. The earlier the better certainly applies to any animal training (including us humans, of course), but it really means that the adult dogs can also learn new stuff too. You will be needing some professional help with this.

Finding a new home for an untrained adult dog can be close to impossible. They aren't cute anymore, but at the same time no one wants to see them put to sleep. This is why puppy school is so important.

One could compare puppy training to kindergarten for humans. The information the dog learns will reflect the higher chances of the dog being guaranteed a good home no matter what happens to the owners. Don't worry if your dog has a short attention span! Most dogs do, and the teaching process is specially designed for that.

The classes teaches many things and not just basic commands and obedience lessons, they teach socializations skills. This is really important if you will be raising dogs such as pit bulls, or any other aggressive dogs.

There are so many benefits to sending your puppy to a training school since there are many professional breeders who make sure that they have a written contract that the puppy needs to be trained. It's their way of assuring that the potential owners will be able to have a good communication with the owner.

Juan Lopez is an example, he is a Texan dog breeder. he says that when he screens potential puppy buyers, he asks the potential owner if the puppy will be taken good care of by having them into a puppy training and if the courses can be completed.

So don't hesitate to train your puppy how to be the best companion at home. Everyone's happier in the end.
