K9 PetBlog: How to start puppy/dog training?

Hi all, 


When training a puppy or dog it should be fun, so ideally you should be in a positive frame of mind before starting any training session, whether it may be at home or at a dog training class. Use consistency with your dog/puppy, ideally this means that although the whole family cab watch and learn only one member of the family should initially train the dog.
To start off with train the dog in familiar surroundings, once you and your dog are confident you can then try putting your training into practice in other areas, i.e. whilst walking through your local town/village etc. 
The most important time for your puppy is in it's first three months; this period is critical in any puppy's socialisation process. Lack of socialisation to other puppies/dogs may  cause your puppy to display fear or nervousness in later life, this also applies to getting used to traffic noises and general household noises, such as the hoover and washing machine. 
Most training is best started as soon as you get your puppy home.
