About Training
First, just like children, dogs don't know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in life. Notice I didn't write "right from wrong" ... that's because dogs don't understand right from wrong but they do understand what works and what doesn't. Teaching a dog what is acceptable and what is not takes time and A LOT OF PATIENCE. Most people work all day, when they get home they are tired and training their dog is probably one of the last things on their mind. So the dog doesn't act in an "acceptable" manner and owners get upset at their dogs. Doesn't sound very fair does it?
Training your pup is not an option but an obligation . Why is it so important? Dogs, like humans, are not born knowing what is acceptable behavior and what is unacceptable behavior; they have to be taught the difference. A dog that is not trained properly as a pup will end up with unwanted behaviors as they grow older. Training them early helps prevent problems from getting started in the first place! Basic obedience training can begin as early as 8 weeks.
