Puppy Training Las Vegas Tip #1: Never leave your puppy unsupervised. In other words, buy a crate. It’s like using a crib, for a baby. The crate fulfills the puppy’s den instincts. To the dog, the crate is his private condominium. It is a place where he can go where nobody will bother him… a safe place.

Puppy Training Las Vegas Tip #2: Utilize critical stages. Puppies go through two-week critical stages from the time they are born through four months of age. The six-to-eight week critical stage is when a small amount of constructive exposure to other dogs will have a lasting effect throughout his life. The eight-to-ten week critical stage when positive experiences with people will have a lasting effect.

Puppy Training Las Vegas Tip #3: Establish yourself as the “pack leader”. Your puppy is a social pack animal. He relates to you as part of his pack. If you use our techniques for establishing yourself as the pack leader, pretty soon your relationship with your dog will bloom into one that is happy and healthy.

Puppy Training Las Vegas Tip #4: Pay special attention to “touch” conditioning. Especially during the eight-to-ten week critical stage when your puppy’s experiences with people will have a lasting effect, touch your puppy all over his body.
