Puppies surely are adorable, but a new puppy can damage or destroy your home.
If you have experience with puppies, you know what we’re talking about. A puppy is a lot of work and requires constant supervision. Your landscaping, furniture and baseboards in your home are all fun and interesting targets. Imagine being playfully bitten by sharp puppy teeth as your puppy jumps on you, spilling your hot coffee.
Curiosity and exploration are expected development for all young animals. Helping puppies learn good, better and best behavior at an early age will help you and your puppy throughout his life. If you want your puppy to grow into a well-rounded family pet you can take places and share experiences in public, there are steps to take to help you both learn to be successful. Imagine the joy of taking your dog with you to public places for the next 10 years or more, especially with dog-friendly restaurants being so popular.
