"Discover the Puppy Training Secrets That Will Slash Your Dog Obedience Training Time In Half and Put An End To the Stress and Frustration of Training a New Puppy!"

How To Raise The Perfect Puppy

Dear Dog Lover,

Other than having a new baby, not much compares to the cuteness of a new puppy. Furry bearer of unconditional love, affection, and companionship. It's no wonder they are considered more than just pets.

I'm sure if you closed your eyes for a moment, you wouldn't be able to read this, but you could almost see your new puppy right now... running in the sun, chasing butterflies, puking at 3 a.m., chewing your furniture...

Still want a puppy? Then step right up because you've come to the right place for all your puppy training needs.

My name is Anthony Sanders and simply put... I LOVE DOGS. I've been helping and rescueing dogs, mainly abandoned and dumped mixed breed dogs, for over 20 years so I've made my share of mistakes along the way. 

My goal with this site is to make sure you avoid the mistakes I made in dog obedience training and provide you with the best resources I could find so you can start your puppy training off on the right foot and enjoy your pooch for many years to come.

Note: Take a look at my information on buying a puppy if you don't own one yet and are thinking about it. 

Owning a puppy comes with great responsibility and I'm sure you got a puppy for more than just wanting a new toy (unless it's a toy breed, which, by definition, gives you a loophole).

Raising a puppy is like raising a kid. Raising and caring for a puppy takes up a lot of your time and that's why you're here... for more information on puppy training and dog obedience training so you can start off on the right foot. 

Enjoy this site as it has many useful resources such as:

  • Buying a puppy

  • Puppy training

  • Housebreaking a puppy

  • Resource page with recommendations

  • and more

So what's next?

After the initial excitement wears off a bit, you'll want to start on some puppy obedience training so your friends see that it can do more than lick itself... and others. 

To create a wonderful companion and a happy, healthy adult dog, you have to put some time into dog obedience training while they're young. Trust me, an obedient dog is a happy dog... and a happy owner. 

The absolute first thing you must do is work on housebreaking. No, you don’t teach your puppy how to break into your house when you forget your keys. Housebreaking means they must learn where and when they may do their business.

Housebreaking a puppy doesn't have to be difficult either. You can easily housebreak a puppy in as little as 7 days and be well on your way to saving money on paper towels.

Puppies benefit from having rules and a routine. As pack animals, they look for duties issued by the pack leader (you) and naturally enjoy keeping schedules.

Make sure you begin your dog obedience training as soon as he/she reaches the appropriate training age (right around 3 months old). This will reinforce their natural tendency to depend on others. 

It's also a good idea to start your puppy training early because in no time at all your cute tiny puppy will become an adult dog that may be more stubborn to learn new tricks. 

Just as time on the Stairmaster every day makes for a butt you can be proud of, so too will consistent daily puppy training make for a mutt you can be proud of. Butt and mutt, get it? Ha Ha.

In addition, teaching commands like "sit", "stay" and "come" will make your life easier, and if you go on to advanced puppy training, you too can have one of those superstar dogs that catches Frisbees and runs obstacle courses when it's not busy signing autographs. 

Obedience training is how you get the best out of your puppy. A well-trained puppy is secure, they know that you're the boss and that you've got a plan. So keep obedience training at the top of your list when you get a new puppy.

Something else to keep in mind in addition to puppy training is to have your puppy fixed when it's old enough (around 6-8 months). Fix my puppy? I didn't even know it was broken! 

Seriously though, millions of dogs die each year in shelters and on the streets, and much of it could be prevented if people had their pets fixed. 

With all that being said, are you ready to train your puppy?

Wishing you and your puppy the best of times.
