You have a new addition in your household, and you feel that you are finally ready to get down to training. This means that you will need to take the time to determine what skills you would like her to learn, and where they rank on your priority list.

To do this, you will need to determine which are important and in which order. Think about the skills your pet needs in order to be safe and to keep others safe in his company. These will likely top your list. Then, look at other skills that are essential, followed by those that are simply a convenience. For example, housetraining may come before teaching him not to beg at the kitchen table so long as your pet is old enough and mature enough to handle both.
