Bailey is a thirteen week old boxer puppy rescued from Puerto Rico. She is already an excellent well rounded and socialized puppy. Her owners are being proactive to get her off to a good start by starting training now before any issues have a chance to develop. Starting off before there are any problems really is the best way to ensure you end up with the dog you always wanted.
For this week Bailey will be work on more involved socialization and begin learning house manners, basic obedience (starting with the important command to come) and to be well behaved around the family's two elderly cats. Each week we will progress her training and socialization so she is constantly successful.
My approach with Bailey is to teach her all the ways she can earn rewards before teaching her the things that we don't want her doing. She will be controlled with the usage of a crate whenever her owners cannot watch her, and redirected when she nips in play or jumps. This puppy has the luxury of belonging to a family member who is retired and can give her the exposure, exercised and training she deserves. I'm really looking forward to sharing my knowledge with this excited family.
