Your new puppy is a joy to watch and cuddle as it learns more about the world
each day. They run, jump and chew on toys with a passion that's almost
endless. Although your puppy is perfect in your eyes, it does have a personality
of its own. Both good and bad traits will stem from this personality. Most
experts agree that dog obedience classes are critical during the first year of a
puppy's life. There are several reasons for this determination.

Minds Like Sponges
Your puppy is soaking in all of the information surrounding it every day. From
learning about leaf textures to relationships with other pets, puppies gain
knowledge at an astoundingly fast rate. By starting out any dog training at six to
12 weeks old, your puppy will catch onto many concepts with ease. Puppies may
even solidify the information faster in their minds compared to older dogs.
They're currently making new, brain-cell connections so early training is always
beneficial regardless of the dog's breed.

Curbing Bad Behavior Early On
It's a reality that most San Antonio families will put off any dog obedience classes
until the pet is actually misbehaving. Ideally, the class should be taken before
any bad behavior really takes hold. This scenario ensures that the pup will have
good behavior ingrained in the mind. Bad behavior that can get out of hand
includes chewing inappropriate objects, excessive barking and aggression.
Lashing out in an aggressive manner is a particularly dangerous behavior that is
easily controlled with the proper training. With your assertive commands, the
pup immediately knows right from wrong.

Learning Who's in Charge
Every dog has a pack mentality because of its primal instincts. There will always
be an alpha dog that's in charge of the pack. When it comes to domestic animals,
the family unit is the pack. The pup, however, must know that it's subordinate to
the master of the house. During dog training, pups learn that it's their master
who's in charge. Allowing the pup to run the household will only result in
misbehavior and lack of control on the owner's part. Waiting for the pup to be
older during obedience classes only allows the alpha concept to gain traction in
its mind.

Forms Bond Between Man and Pet
New puppies look up to their masters for protection, comfort and nourishment.
By participating in classes together, man and pet form a strong bond. This
relationship lasts throughout life as both participants gain a sense of respect for
each other. Pups actively listen to the owner instead of ignoring certain
commands. Older dogs tend to have concrete ideas of being on their own so
bonds may not be as strong with these pets. Gain the attention and respect of
your puppy to see a bond that's unbreakable as it grows up.

Continuing With Dog Obedience Classes
The majority of pet owners see obedience classes as a one-time experience. This
perception isn't true when you want to really see a difference in your pet's
behavior. Once you complete the first training session, return to the same
"school" in about a year's time. This subsequent class reminds and solidifies the
information in the pup's mind. From the pet's perspective, the class is more fun
than a serious, learning experience.
