Learn the Do's and Dont's about socializing How to housebreak your puppy in 7 days using these 8 proven gentle steps Is there anybody you know who really does not love puppies? When things aren't going just right, all I need to do is turn to my puppies and the world is good again. I started training puppies years ago, when I saw my best friend's brother give trouble to my friend's thirteen-pound, Jack Russell terrier, named TIMMS. I told myself that I never wanted to give this beautiful terrier a reason to fear me, to doubt me, or to question my motives in any way. I would never hit her, yell at her, make startling noises to get her attention, take food from her, or lock her away in dark, secluded rooms. I wanted to earn her love and trust, while I gave her mine. Just before the winter holidays a year later, my friend passed on from an accident. His family moved and took TIMMS with them. I did not see them for almost another year. When I walked into their house, TIMMS wailed loudly at me, made a mess on the floor and begged me to pick her up. That was a magnificent reward to me for having loved TIMMS so easily. Some breeds need more assertiveness than other breeds, but I was never aggressive with TIMMS. Many owners disagree on the top 10 items a puppy must learn quickly. Lists do vary, but they aren't significantly different except for this one item. Establishing yourself as the pack leader is possibly the most important lesson you can teach your puppy right away. It isn't difficult to do, but it can be a little heart rendering.
