Introducing a new dog into your home is an enormous responsibility. The amount of work it takes to raise an 8 week old puppy can be overwhelming especially if you do not have a game plan going into it. This course is going to help you develop that plan. While everyone’s lifestyle is different and every dog is different this course is designed to fit all dogs and people, regardless of whether you are raising a working line dog for sport work or a family pet.
This is a management course for new dog owners. While the emphasis of this course is on house breaking we have added several management techniques that you can implement to help develop a well-balanced dog who behaves in your home.
The course is going to focus on puppies, however, the material in this course can be applied to any dog that you bring into a new home/environment. If you recently adopted a 3 year old adult dog and would like to learn how to introduce them into your home this is the course for you.
The course is broken down into three modules - all of which are packed full of great information.
The first module is going to cover what you can prepare for prior to starting any of the management techniques. We will cover how to puppy proof your home, determining the temperament of your new dog, diet and feeding schedules, and what type(s) of equipment you are going to need.
The second module will cover how to set your dog up for success. In this module we are going to cover how to introduce equipment such as a collar to your dog. We will cover some fun interactive games to help develop a relationship with your dog. You will learn how to manage your dog in the house with the use of a leash, ex-pen, crate, and other tools. As well as how to handle any accidents that do occur throughout your house breaking process.
In the third module we will provide you with a sample schedule for housebreaking your new dog. This schedule will give you an example of what we do with our dogs. The schedule is broken down in detail of exactly what we do and at what time of the day. This schedule is designed to be flexible and can be modified to fit your own schedule and lifestyle.
Setting/adapting a schedule
Puppy character evaluations
Appropriate food and water intake
Use of the crate to teach bladder and bowel control
Use of Xpens and enclosures
Use of the tether, short and long leashes

By following the steps laid out for you in this course, you will find that the potty training process can be quite easy, if one is diligent.
