Puppy information sheets

THIS IS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS, MORE IS BEING ADDED SOON!


We have several information sheets on various subjects that crop up regularly. These are intended as helpful guides to give you some ideas of things to try. They are written by our members who are not professional dog trainers. We advise you to use them carefully and remember the following:

• remember your puppy is a baby as well as a dog. He will not know what you mean unless you teach him in a way he can understand
  
• always read your puppy's body language to assess that he is happy with what you are asking him to do
  
• never ask your puppy to do anything that you feel he is not able to or is unhappy doing
  
• only do things that you are comfortable with
  
  

Please note that you remain responsible for any training you do with you dog. Our advice is general and not necessarily for your own specific situation.
