E-collar or remote collars sometimes mistaken for "shock collars" there is a significant difference between the two. It is an amazing way to communicate off-leash with your dog, even if your dog listens to you most of the time. You just never know what could be around the corner when your dog is off-leash, it could be a life or death situation.

4 do's and don'ts for new puppy owners.

1. SOCIALIZING

Socializing is extremely important between 6-12 weeks of age. If you don't socialize your puppy they will become fearful. When I say socialize I don't just mean animals and people but car's, loud noises, tv, umbrellas, kids, etc....
And when you think socializing with dog's and people means, "to let your dog go up and say high to every person and dog", you are wrong. If you let them do that your dog will get over excited when they see a dog or person.
I am speaking from experience!

2. JUMPING

Do not let your puppy jump on you or any other people especially when they are puppies.

When they jump up most people think it's cute and will say high. Not knowing they just rewarded that puppy for jumping.

If they jump say off, or the command you pick, and push the puppy off of you.
Don't praise the dog for putting all four paws on the ground. Just ignore the puppy, then when you go to say high again if the puppy sits or doesn't jump praise heavily and give the puppy a treat.

When you have company over put a leash on your dog. If they jump on your guest say your command and pull them off at the same time, then ignore the puppy. When they go to say high again if they don't jump praise heavily and give the puppy a treat. Consistency is everything!

3. RULES AND COMMANDS

Try and make the rules for your puppy before you get him like no going on furniture, no going in certain rooms of the house, etc....
And make sure you know what commands you will be using and everyone else knows too because if your not consistent with your commands your puppy will get confused and stressed out.

4. CRATE TRAINING

If you want to crate train your puppy make it the funnest place in the world.
Throw treats in there, play with one of there favorite toys and throw it in there for them to go get. Put there food in there, and every single time they go in there on there own praise heavily.
Do not shut the door for at least a week or so of consistent crate training.
If you want your puppy to sleep in there crate don't have another bed out side of the crate.
