San Diego Puppy Training

Meet Dozer, she is at K9 Coach San Diego and Temecula puppy training camp.  Dozer is a mixed breed, female puppy, 4 months old and full of non-stop energy.  She wants to chew on everything and liked to grab small kids by the sleeve and wrestle them to the ground!

Rough play is common in puppy behavior and does not “go away by itself”.  Puppies lose their baby teeth (which are very sharp and needle like) and get their adult teeth ages 4-6 months.  Along with their strong drive to play, they have an urge to chew in this teething period.  Make sure you give your puppy safe toys made in the USA such as Nylabone, Kong and select made in the USA Dog Planet toys, rated for strong chewers, if you have a puppy who tears everything up.

Give the toy to your puppy again and again, when they try to chew on things they shouldn’t. Puppies have such a short attention span and are so easily distracted. They require patient and repetition in order to learn the right thing to do.

The biggest mistake a new puppy owner can make when training to chew only their toys, is to give them a rawhide chew!  Countless puppies and dogs die every year due to rawhide consumption, but the big retailers still have their shelves stacked full of rawhide toys, it seems crazy, but it’s true, it is not against any federal regulation for this and several other harmful items sold to our puppies by big corporations with an eye only on profit.

Puppy training camp at K9 Coach San Diego and Temecula provides puppy household manners, potty training, crate training, basic obedience, nutritional and safety counseling in addtion to training the family how to have fun and freedom with their puppies new found skills!

Dozer is doing great at puppy training camp and her family already has her on the right healthy puppy food. Instead of giving your puppy harmful treats and unhealthy food find out about our safe and all natural puppy treats.  If you want your puppy to learn to be a calmer, potty and leash trained pup, call us, we can set up a training program for you.
