Water should be available at all times. Feeding times should coincide with your meal times to discourage begging. Do not offer people food to your puppy. Not only does the puppy not need the table scraps, but bad habits are formed and proper nutrition cannot be achieved on people food. Consult your veterinarian about proper feeding schedules and types of foods that are best since there are differences for certain breeds of dogs.
Many dogs wind up in the animal shelter before the age of two years for behavior problems.
It is important that your puppy learn early on what is considered acceptable behavior. Failure to teach your pet the difference between right and wrong can result in a grown dog so out of control that it is no longer a pleasure to have in your home.
