Traininig Harvey

Since Harvey was adopted few months ago, I started to train him slowly but surely. Everything that he does tells me a story about his past. Based on those I planned a training routine on daily basis.

At the beginning since I have a doggie playcare, I used this opportunity and allowed him to socialize with many dogs. He also loves to meet and play with new dogs. He loves to play with dogs in general, so I let him play and play. Play is the best way that dogs get trained by other dogs.

When a dog is young like Harvey, it is very important to let your puppy to meet and socialize and play with as many healthy, balance dogs as possible.  

%50 of the training is done by other dogs and the other 50 is done by you. Young dogs at young age need full on training but not many people understand that and do not follow up on that.

I started training him by first wording my commands and then actual and formal training. Soon I will start doing agility as well. He loves obstacle and the the agility equipment’s.
