Behavior and Puppy Socialization


Initially we have a discussion with the Doctor about Basic Care and Husbandry of your puppy.  There are several handouts that are given on this first visit that discuss house training/crate training, and other basic concepts associate with raising a puppy.

We recommend the new Gentle Leader training collar for those dogs who are not willing to walk calmly on a leash.  This takes a little getting used to in a very short time and you will be surprised how easily you can walk an otherwise unruly dog without any pain to you or your pet!
