Setting Rules and Boundaries for Your Puppy

Everyone in your family, including dogs, has to have rules and boundaries in the house. You should start teaching the puppy rules and boundaries as soon as you bring them home. Giving a puppy too much freedom and the ability to do anything it wants, is a recipe for disaster.Setting RulesRules refer to what a puppy is and isn’t allowed to do.  Here are some examples:No jumping on furniture when not invitedNo pulling on the leash when walkingNo jumping on guests when they are greetedNo “zoomies” in the house (outside in the yard is OK)Setting Boundaries Boundaries control where a dog can and can’t go, claiming territory, and teaching your puppy what is and isn’t theirs. Here are some examples:Not allowed in certain rooms of the houseSit and wait to go out the doorSit and wait for their foodGo to bed, or place, when family is eating (instead of begging)Visit the shows website at http://puppytalkpodcast.comIf you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.
