Puppy training and exposing the puppy to the right learning environment at the right time can make a hugh difference in adult dog behavior. The main goal of puppy training is to prevent problems before they get started.
The best age to acquire a puppy is between 8 and 12 weeks. Many of the things that a dog learns in this period will influence the rest of his life. The biggest problems associated with separating a puppy from its mother and litter mates too early is related to insecurity, which translates to fear.
Puppy training in many ways is easier than training an adult dog, in that puppies have just not yet had a chance to learn how to respond to their environments. This means you get to teach your puppy how to behave properly right from the start.
