One of the best ways to ensure that your puppy gets a great
start as a happy, well-behaved companion is to enroll in a "puppy kindergarten"
class. Although a puppy's attention span is short, there are very important
things every pup should learn at an early age.
In puppy kindergarten
the owner learns, too. For these classes, the emphasis is on fun and informality.
You'll join a small group of other owners and their puppies in a series of
simple exercises that teach you how to prevent problem behavior as well as
introducing basic training techniques. Kindergarten class also gives your puppy
exposure to new people, other dogs, and unfamiliar situations. This kind of
socialization is vital and has a great influence on a puppy's adult personality.
It helps to ensure that once he's grown up, he will be friendly toward strangers
without being timid or aggressive, and that he will easily adapt to a wide
variety of circumstances.
Call your local dog
club for more information on puppy kindergarten classes in your area.
