Reinforcement is key
Encouraging your puppy with desired behaviour and action, and respectfully discouraging unacceptable behaviour will help you to ensure a well behaved adult dog. We suggest that you start training your puppy as soon as possible or attend dog training classes for the best results.
A warm and safe environment
Ensure that your puppy has a warm and safe place to sleep. Always make sure that there is clean water for them to drink that is easily accessible at night. If your puppy won’t stop crying after leaving the litter, you can make a bed for the puppy in your room for a few nights.
A healthy lifestyle
Exercise is crucial for dog regardless of age; therefore take your dogs out as often as possible. With young puppies try to train them to defecate and urinate whilst they are outside.
Playtime
Stimulation is a crucial part of your puppy’s growth. Keep him entertained with safe toys and affection.

Mental Stimulation
Socialising your puppy is a crucial part of your puppy’s foundation, and an indication of your dog’s behaviour at a later stage in life. Therefore it is important to train your dog to interact with other dogs and people. As these interactions at an early stage will leave a lasting impression.
