How would you like your dog to behave?
Set up for success
A smooth start to a life with a new dog can make training easier down the road. Be prepared before pick-up time to make the transition as smooth as possible. Remember: the dog your puppy is going to be it is now becoming. The companion your rescue dog is going to be depends on the most ideal start with you. Work hard to keep positive associations with everything in the the new environment of your home.
Start Early
After a puppy passes the 7 week mark, its brain is able to learn as well as an adult dog’s brain. An important developmental window closes at about 12 to 16 weeks of age. Early experiences help shape a puppy’s world view. Make sure that you are taking the proper steps to keep your dog well trained through adulthood.
