The most important temperament for a puppy to learn is trust. They must know that you will not hurt them and when needed you will be there for anything they may need. A puppy that learns to trust at a very early age grows up to be a much happier adult dog. Today we began with using the water to teach them we are trustworthy. There are two reactions that come when they enter the water. They will either flail and want to jump out or they will go still. The traditional flight or fight reaction. Once they begin to understand and to “trust” is when their natural puppy elements come out. All of our pups started stiff but within a very short time knew they could trust me holding them. I have seen many dog owners just jump right in demanding actions from their puppy or dog and they never put the effort into building the first critical trait…trust. Everything is built upon that.

Body handling is something every puppy must go through at various stages when they are little. You will find that some puppies fight the human touch and will actually have to be taught to like being touched. This is a huge factor in shaping a puppies temperament as well. Getting them used to having their feet and ears handled also helps prepare them for the appointments with the vet and groomer. We also are teaching them “puppy kisses” with a little whipped cream to combat puppy nipping!

Further crate training for our 8 week old pups. We are now expecting them to go in on their own from a distance, give us a little bit of a wait, and come out to us at a distance when we say “free”. We shut the door now without locking it as we are working in a little more confinement. Some of them have even learned how to push the door open!
Going in and out of the crate is something we want the puppies to do freely. We want to associate the crate experience with nothing but positive. A crate should never be used as a punishment place of a time out. It is the puppies safe haven. You should also never let the puppy out of the crate if they are whining, barking or jumping up. They must be calm. Even if it is for a split second, as we don’t want to teach them that those actions get them what they want and that is out of the crate.
When your pups come home work with them just as we have done here to get them acclimated with their crate in your environment. This will help them feel at ease especially when it is time for bed!

Fall leaves require us to be constantly using the blower. So early training is a must! Myron though has taken it to a new level. He will probably know how yo use it by himself when he leaves! Lol.
