Does Your Dog Need Some Basic Training or Obedience Class?
A dog belongs to the animal kingdom and will behave differently from human. It will need to be domesticated or trained to blend into your daily family lifestyle.
Please do not assume that because you have chosen a small and mild mannered dog, it will automatically behave itself. Though a breed of dog has similar characteristics but each dog has its own personality too.
So what is the basic training or obedience behavior that we would want to cultivate into our dogs?
When you bring home your puppy, it needs to feel safe or secure in its environment. You should have bought a crate and spend some time helping the puppy to familiarize itself with the crate so that it will treat it as its home or den. The crate will serve as a place to sleep peacefully and to seek shelter or comfort at times, e.g. during thunderstorm.
