Learning about your new puppy What makes him move

What an exciting time this is.  You have your new furry buddy.  He still has that puppy breath and you are starting your new life together.  This has to be one of the happiest moments youve had.  So should you start training your dog now or just let him be a puppy?  Well for me the answer is yes to both.  Teaching your puppy how he is going to learn is very important at this stage.  I also believe allowing him to be a puppy is very important.

One of the first things I want to determine is how much my puppy likes different kinds of food. So I will generally take 4 to 5 different foods and test them on the dog.  First I make sure the dog has not recently consumed anything.  After that I will get the food and treats ready.  Once I have done this and will go get my puppy.  I will take a bit of two different treats and place it in either hand and close my hands around them.  Then I will bring each one to the dog and let him smell it individually.  After I have done that for each, I will place each hand side by side and open them at the same time.  Make sure you note the one you dog chooses and repeat the test at least 2 more times.  Go through all of the different treats until you have all the foods ranked from highest value to lowest.  This information is vital to understanding what your puppy likes and starting to motivate him to be with you.
