Learning to ride comfortably in a car is a mandatory puppyhood experience. By building the dog's confidence the chances of successfully completing the formal training as an adult will be greatly enhanced. Keep in mind that a Leader Dog is NOT trained to protect his master. Their sole purpose is safe guidance. Aggressive behavior towards other animals or people is grounds for rejection.
Some dogs are only happy in their own surroundings.
A Leader Dogs travels and should be relaxed and content in a strange environment. Frequent walks in new areas and exposure to strangers are required. Before Your Puppy Arrives Provide a bed, crate or sleeping box that he may call his own. Obtain a suitable dish for his food and another for his water. Avoid plastic as it is difficult to keep clean.
