Taking home a new puppy is an exciting time. The training of the new family member really starts before you even pick up the puppy. Decisions must be made and boundaries set before the puppy gets home. This will let the new puppy know who is in the master and where he fits in. A few questions that should be answered: What will you allow and not allow him to do? Jump on the couch or not? Jump on me or not jump on me? Inside dog or outside dog? All important questions that should be thought about before picking up the puppy. Your Labrador puppy is very intelligent and trainable. A pup will need 3 basic things in order to be a happy puppy: food, water, & shelter. I will discuss each one of these basic needs in the next Bar A Blogs. Until next time-- Have a day!
