When should I start pack structure with a puppy?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy and Ed,I love everything you guys do with dogs, but I'm a little bit confused on when to start Establishing Pack Structure with the Family Pet. Do I start it with a brand new 8 week old puppy or does the puppy have to be a few more moths older? Please advise!
Cindy's Answer:
Pack structure exists in some form right away, from the time puppies start interacting with their environment.
I’d read the article Ed wrote on The Groundwork to Becoming your Puppy’s Pack Leader.
I’d also refer to Your Puppy 8 weeks to 8 Months.
Raising puppies is all about gently teaching them your rules without them even knowing they are learning.
I hope this helps.
