Experts are convinced that it is worth starting to train a dog from the very first day it appears in the house.

From the very beginning, it is necessary to provide the puppy with everything it needs: bowls for water and food, a place to rest, suitable food, toys and treats.

Also, the owner must pay enough attention to the pet - only in this case will it begin to feel safe and trust you.

Introducing your four-legged friend to commands should also happen from an early age.

During the first few months, work with him outside and at home. This can also be done during playtime.

First of all, accustom the dog to its name. To help the puppy learn its name, choose a short and easy-to-remember nickname and use only that.

Once the puppy gets used to its name and responds to it, move on to learning commands.

By the age of three months, the puppy should have mastered a basic set of commands, such as "No!", "Come!", "Place!", "Next!" and "Fetch!". Then you can begin to learn other commands.
