Puppy training is the process of teaching a young dog basic commands and good behavior. It typically starts when the puppy is around 8 weeks old and can include house training, socialization, and obedience commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, is often used to encourage desired behaviors. Socialization is an important part of puppy training, helping the dog become comfortable with different people, animals, and environments. This can prevent behavioral issues later in life. Consistency and patience are key, as puppies learn best through repetition and positive experiences.
