Table manners

It is very bad for you to give your puppy everything it asks for. This will make your puppy over demanding and spoit. You need to let it know that you arent going to respond to all its demands.

Your puppy should learn that little chidren, as well as others around can be unpredictable, but should be social with them. In order to do so, try immitating some childish behaviour like stepping towards its bowl quickly, then drop a treat. While your puppy is eating, try causing distractions like rolling toys nearby, but make sure you drop a treat in the bowl as a reward for still keeping calm while eating. You shouldn’t be doing this at every meal, although you should do it frequently. If you notice that your pup glares or growls at you, or freezes, stop and try again later. If after trying another time it still continues, then it is advicabel that you seek the advice of a certified dog trainer.

Your puppy's tail

Most people believe that when a pup wags it tail, it simply means it is happy and friendly. This is so true, but there are other moods waggging of tail indicates.

Although every breed of dog has its unique way of holding its tail, generally, when a dog holds its tail to the back over at an angle over 45 degrees, then it shows alertness and keenness.
