A friend of kids and the family
The first 16 weeks of the puppy’s life have great influence on his psychological development. In that period, the puppy should spend as much time with children and other members of family as possible. We don’t seclude the puppies from the strangers. We take them into the house at least once a day for 30 minutes. Thanks to that, the bonds that are developed between the dog and the family will result in having a faithful and devoted friend. Good practices such as taking the dog for a walk, accustoming him to riding in a car, “exploring” the surroundings or playing with retrieving are an excellent investment in the animal’s psyche and basis for further training.
