Getting your dog comfortable with handling and grooming makes vet visits, grooming appointments, and routine care much easier. While starting with a puppy is ideal, adult dogs can learn too with patience and consistency. Commit to just three weeks of practice - far easier than 10+ years of stressful nail trims! Gently handle their paws, ears, and mouth daily with treats and praise, introduce grooming tools gradually, and simulate vet exams with gentle restraint. A little effort now leads to a lifetime of stress-free care, no matter your dogās age!

Generalization with puppies is crucial for ensuring that they can perform behaviors in various situations as adults. Starting early, it's important to expose puppies to different environments, people, and distractions to help them generalize behaviors. By gradually introducing new tasks and practicing behaviors in diverse settings, the dog will learn to respond reliably regardless of the context, laying a strong foundation for their behavior as adult dogs. Chizem the black lab puppy is learning how to ignore distractions and perform obedience tasks in different environments!
