Dog Lovers Manual

If the puppy is ignoring your bidding then you are not directing him properly. From the age of 6 months, a ‘teenage’ dog is likely to try it on’, and how you handle him at this stage is crucial. Get it wrong and you’ll have persistent problems that you’ll struggle to solve without expert advice. You’ll find that it pays dividends to enrol in a puppy socialization/training class, as attending on a regular basis will teach you how to communicate with your pet and what methods you should employ in order to get him to behave as you require.
