The Responsibility of Raising a Puppy
Many people underestimate the level of responsibility needed to raise a puppy. Listen to my first episode of Puppy Talk called Owning a New Puppy is a Lot of Work.
The Truth:
- Raising a young puppy starting at 8 weeks old is a part-time job.
- Hiring a dog trainer may not help. It’s not the solution.
- You have to do the work yourself, with the help of a coach.
The Myths:
- Puppies only need affection and play
- Teaching your puppy the command “no” will solve everything
- Punishing the puppy by yelling or using force is important
