Great Reasons to Invest in Puppy Training
There is a time limit on puppy socialization and early learning abilities.
The time to socialize a puppy properly is limited. Experts say that a puppy’s primary socialization window ends at sixteen weeks. During this learning period, a puppy absorbs a lot of the things in the world around him. Before the sixteen weeks is up, a puppy must have positive experiences such as socialization, basic obedience training, and learning routines. The puppy must also learn that humans are reliable and safe. Training a puppy can help build trust in humans and yourself.
Training a puppy early prevents fear and aggression problems.
Many behavioral problems in dogs stem from fear and lack of training at a young age. Early invention and training can prevent behavior problems and aggression. A well-trained puppy will become a well-trained adult dog. Behavioral problems are one of the most common reasons adult dogs end up in shelters. Start your puppy with early training to ensure they have a positive future.
Investing in puppy training can keep your puppy out of trouble.
Biting, barking, and jumping can all get a dog and its owner into serious trouble. Early training can prevent this problem before it happens. Puppies will also learn how to come when called, walk properly on a leash, and will be taught impulse control. House training is also applied to early training lessons for puppies. All of these are very important if you live within a vicinity that is close to other people. Excessive barking and accidents in the house can get you in some deep trouble with your landlord. If your puppy does not learn to control biting and jumping, it may hard to bring them around other people and family.
