The kids get all excited whenever a new puppy is brought home. You just need to be sure you got the puppy for the right reasons. As the saying goes, "Dogs are for life and not just the holidays".
You need to be careful of where your puppy was brought up and the temperament he was raised with. Most all of the bull dogs, Rottweiler's, German shepherds and boxers are all guard dog type and so tend to be very protective and loving to the ones around them.
Most all of the collies tend to be very active and very seldom sit still and also may be a little nervous around our modern technologies, such some bridges, and loud noises.
While the Labradors, pointers and gun dogs are all hunting dogs so you know without doubt they are going to be full of energy and also with many laughable times. You have to realize that each and every dog has its day as well as its own personality.
Training a puppy can be done in a few short weeks, just depends on how much time you have to spend with him and his training.
You really do not need to spend whole days training your puppy, just a few minutes three or four times each day should get it done fairly quickly.
First thing you have to work on in training your new puppy is obedience. The first lesson you ought to train your puppy is the commands like sit, stay, fetch and come. They are the most common commands which is good enough for them to make it a habit of learning. Then as he gets older incorporate commands such as roll over, play dead etc.
Puppy training can usually be pretty easy as they are not already accustomed to habits that need to be changed since they are very fresh and ready to learn.
The things you are able to teach them now will be with them for years to come. However training does not last forever so you probably need to take a few minutes each day to remind them what they should do.
When you let puppies go with no training then you discover the results are not good at all so someone needs to take the task at hand with a new puppy when he is first introduced to your home and clan.
Puppies are like babies and really need to be taught, without it they will sometimes bring you a lot of grief. It may take months to train your puppy but when the training is complete the rewards will be much worth it.
You should not forget to give him just a few minutes each day or your puppy may forget and then you have a bigger job to do. It is not easy to train an older dog.
