how to train a puppy

Before you start any dog or puppy training program, think only of what you’re hoping to gain, rather than what you don’t want. So when you’re going through your training routines, you need to have clear understanding of exactly what you want to happen, and hold that image through the session. Don’t waste any time pondering over the negative behavior you’re trying to avoid.
