Begin Puppy Training Early
The best time to begin training your new puppy is the moment he joins your family. This is one of the benefits of beginning training early. It is extremely important to use this time to create a puppy who will be a well-mannered, happy adult.

Whenever possible, I use motivational methods—food or toys—when working with all dogs. This method is especially important with puppies. This will create a dog that will want to please. Consistency and patience are the keys to success regardless of the dog’s age. At all ages, training should set the dog up for success. This is why I do not recommend group training. Asking your dog to focus on learning with the excitement of other dogs and people is setting you both up for failure.
Often, puppy classes consist of puppies playing with each other. When a room full of puppies is allowed to run free, it often involves biting, bullying, jumping, and other unruly conduct. Puppies should be socialized. However, this does not mean that they are jumping on or sniffing other people and dogs. It simply means they can be around other dogs, people, and other enticing stimuli while remaining focused and well-behaved.
