Posted on May 26, 2010 under obedience training | 7 CommentsI need the reasons early obedience training is important in a puppy’s life please.
~Thanks~
1. You learn the right way to teach your puppy.
2. You learn leadership skills so your puppy learns how to respect you.
3. Your dog gets socialization around dogs and people during the crucial socialization period of his life which is 3-20 weeks of age.
4. Puppies are much easier to train and you are training before bad habits set it.
5. You get training in and rules established before the adolescent/independent/teenage stage of development occurs which is 6-18 months of age.
6. You are building confidence in your puppy by taking them to a class.
7. You are building confidence in yourself as a trainer.
8. You are establishing teamwork skills with your puppy.
9. If you go with a good trainer it is really a fun and rewarding experience for you and your puppy.

Need to establish the rules before it gets too big, helps to keep them from jumping, attacking, destroying, etc. If its a little dog its not as important, but little dogs can be biters so its still a good idea. Makes having a dog easier.

well think about it
its easier to train a young puppy than to teach an old dog new tricks
their minds are young and moldable

so when they get older (& bigger) they won’t jump on people -especially the elderly – & knock them down; so they will learn not to go running into the street; so they won’t "hump" peoples’ legs; so they will sit when newcomers enter the room & not immediately bombard the visitors for attention. (the visitors, by the way, may or may not be allergic to animal dander); …The list goes on why it is a dandy idea for a puppy to go to obedience school…FYI (: (:

It’s better when it gets older.
If you don’t train your dog when he/she gets older, it’ll be wayyy harder.

Convenient thought it may be to blame a puppy for its unruly aggressive, lead pulling dog aggression, nipping/biting, a breeder could place two pups with identical characters in two different homes and their behaviors will be totally different.
Why? A pup raised with direction, leadership and guidance, will, unless it has a genetic character defect, behave calmly and show focused learning without frustration. If on the other hand a pup is raised with too little discipline/direction/guidance may well jump up at people, not listen to instructions, chase hands/feet and bite/nip people.
If you want a well behaved dog, you have to invest the time to train it; all too many people do not do that. Discipline, when it’s proportionate to the undesired behavior, is not a bad word.

I downloaded Fight Night Round 3 from Games-ISO.com a couple of weeks ago and, despite the fact its a”dusty” game, its the best Playstation 3 game in my opinion =)
