What Does It Mean To Be Certified?
Your puppy will graduate as a trained pup and you’ll graduate as a more confident, calm, and happier puppy parent!
The chapter provides information on how to: Take care of a healthy puppy (including checking for physical health signs); Puppy vaccinations and deworming; Appropriate chewing habits. The session also lists nine foods that are dangerous for dogs to consume, including onions, chocolate, and grapes. We recommend avoiding feeding puppies scraps from the table and adding supplements or fillers to their food. You should measure food accurately, limit meal times and treats, and involve the whole family in the feeding regime.
The chapter discusses the body language and vocal communication of puppies, which reveals their emotional state. We will talk about what roles paw preference, tail wagging and the use of urine and feces play in a pup’s life. We explain how puppies leave and gather information and how they use licking to communicate with other animals. The session includes theoretical knowledge of dog social structures and dog body language.

The chapter provides tips on how to house-train a puppy. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are crucial for the proper growth of your puppy. These key factors will contribute to strengthening your bond. We will talk about potty training small and medium to large-sized dogs. We discuss biological differences in small, medium, and big dogs in this chapter. We have included tips on mastering potty training quickly. Of course, we talk about cleaning and using pee pads as part of the training.
The chapter explains the benefits of hand-feeding your dog and how to do it. Hand-feeding can build trust and confidence, promote socialization, and create a strong bond between you and your dog. Hand-feeding is a fun way to interact with your dog and can make obedience training easier and faster. The session also provides some tips before you start, such as playing with your puppy and using humane techniques that promote learning. Basic commands such as "sit" and "stay" are also discussed here.
The chapter discusses the importance of establishing a schedule for a new puppy to aid in its acclimatization to its new life with the owner. We encourage mirroring your schedule and making time for play sessions, and socialization. The session also emphasizes the significance of providing ample enrichment and consistent potty training for the puppy. It is essential to understand the puppy's learning process and follow a systematic approach to socialization to prevent behavioral issues later on.
In this final chapter, we talk about the different stages of a puppy's development and how these stages can influence the dog's behavior. Socialization and positive experiences during the puppy's early life are essential to creating a well-adjusted adult dog. The session breaks down each stage of a puppy's development and provides advice on how to best support the puppy during each stage. Additionally, you should carefully consider neutering/spaying your dog to prevent disruptive effects from sex hormones during adolescence and decrease the risk of developing some types of cancers.
