Bringing the Puppy Home

When the big day finally arrives and you have made all the necessary arrangements and set down the rules, make sure the day is clear of all other commitments. Remember this puppy is coming into a totally new environment, away from anything familiar. The worst thing you can do, is to bring the puppy home and then leave it alone for two or three hours.
It is important for you to understand your puppy, as it does not understand you. Put yourself in its place for a moment. The only way it will learn, is by constant demonstration and repetition of words. The puppy will no longer have any mother, brothers or sisters to run back to, for comfort and reassurance, if the going gets tough. Therefore you must be all things to it - provider, friend, companion, teacher, and playmate. So with this in mind, TRAINING SHOULD NOW BEGIN.
