Week 4 Homework

1
Potty training is part of our basic training and is also the biggest parents contribution. So prepare to be EDUCATED and be patient.
2
Age – Remember your dog's age and act appropriately. Would you expect a 13 year old teenager to understand how to drive a corvette? NO, so don't expect a puppy to be potty trained over night. The age of your dog is important. The first year of a dog's life is equivalent to 12 years old. Or every month is a year, 6 months old is a 6 year old child. They should be potty trained around 6 months old.
3
Excessive barking – Barking is done to warn others (people, dogs, cars, loud noises) of danger. Often our dogs are just trying to protect their turf. To explain to the world that they are the boss of the home. To fix this issue make firm corrections with a loud 'NO'. You need to teach the dog you're alpha and there is no need to protect the turf or home.
