It is important that you not become one of the significant number of dog owners that don't think about the consequences of failing to train your dog. Puppy behavior is largely influenced by human interaction, especially when they are removed from their mother and littermates and are on their own at your home. Training puppies correctly is the first step in avoiding the dreaded Spoiled Dog Syndrome.
Puppy Behavior
Training puppies is a both a science and an art with owners needing to balance making training fun and positive and actually being seen as the alpha leader by the puppy. When owners don't establish that they are the leader, puppies will very naturally assume that they must be. These types of puppies will bark, demand their owner's attention, engage in destructive behaviors when they don't get attention and generally run the household.
