Puppies are like young children with ants in their pants. Short attention spans, needing to be on-the-go constantly to touch and learn about everything in their environment and plenty of tumbles, as they are still learning to manipulate their legs. Puppies will exhaust themselves literally from tearing around from room to room, smelling and chewing on everything in their path. Your puppy is in a learning period, and that includes the crash course on “don’t touch that” and “no”.

Patience in abundance will keep you from tearing your hair out and losing your voice from yelling. Teach your puppy at a pace it will actually absorb and understand. Discover more about dogs and puppies via this website for the veterinary clinic Chico.
