| When you first brought your pup home, did she run from room to room, or hide under a table or couch? These signs tell you about the pup's temperament. |
| By understanding your own temperament you can make it work for you rather than against you when trainng your puppy. |
| If you miss the struggle of early obedience training you'll miss the bonding that forms through this early communication. |
| When you whistle, your puppy will focus on you no matter where you are or what she is doing -- she will respond by coming to you. |
| Work with your puppy in 5 minute sessions to keep her from losing interest and you from losing patience. |
| A simple hand signal while giving a verbal command adds another dimension to the training taking place between you and your dog. |
| When training your pup, you don't want to bend over her like an overbearing tower. This may frighten a shy pup and an aggressive pup may nip you on your nose. |
