How to Raise a Dog ?

The definition of a perfect dog can vary by owner, but raising the dog you want is not impossible. Making sure your dog is properly socialized, trained, and provided for are great places to start. In order to have the perfect dog for you, focus your energy on the specific traits you are interested in while making sure he is a well-rounded dog who will make you and your family happy.

Make sure you have enough time and patience. Raising a well-trained and well-behaved dog takes time and commitment over many years. Before you get yourself into this undertaking, you should think about your schedule and if you have time for a puppy. Your puppy will also take time to learn new commands, so be patient with him as he learns.

• Your puppy will not know how to be well-behave naturally. However, he will want to please you, which will help you when you train him.
• Potty training can take anywhere from four to six months to a year. ^[1]
• ^{Start at the right time. Your puppy can begin to be potty trained when he is around 12 to 16 weeks old. At this point, his bladder is developed enough that he can learn to hold it. [2]}
