Puppy Training & Socialization

Gary’s Dog & Puppy Care Basics

Gary covers the do's and don't of puppy socialization and adult dog obedience training including how dogs communicate and creating safe-space.

Why dogs and puppies need training

All dogs, no matter what size or age, need, desire and require training. Without it they can become confused, stressed, and destructive.

What can I do about my puppy’s submissive peeing?

Unless it is genetics, submissive peeing is normally caused by the puppy being over-stimulated. To prevent this, keep calm and take your puppy outside.

How old should my puppy be for training?

Puppies are ready for puppy training by 10 weeks of age. Starting at 10 weeks is a critical time for the owner to establish positive pack leadership.

Why is socialization so important for my puppy’s health?

The goal of socializing a puppy is to help a puppy develop a stable temperament and strong nervous system.
