Puppyhood: A Golden Opportunity, Often Wasted

Dr. Ian Dunbar explains the absolutely critical nature of puppyhood. Young puppies are impressionable, adorable, and eager to learn. With a little preparation and training they can learn so much, and they can learn it so quickly that they'll be inoculated against the problematic behaviors that are so very predictable and cause adolescent dogs to end up in shelters. Owners (and shelters, breeders, anyone who finds themself caring for a young pup) need to start their puppies off right, with an effective housetraining, socialization and obedience training program that starts the very first moment the pup comes home.

This is just an hors d'oeurve of what's on the menu of my latest seminar series, check out my 2010/2011 appearance schedule if you'd like to take a bigger bite!
