FEEDING

I recommend feeding a quality large-breed dog food of your choice. Don't change the brand or type after a feeding regimen is established.

WATER

The pups should have fresh water offered all day. Then take it away about 6 pm. This will make night training easier.

POTTY TRAINING

Puppies need to go potty the minute they wake up from sleeping or napping and right after they eat! Bring them out each time to the spot you want them to go and praise them a lot for going there. They physically cannot "hold it" all night. You will have to get up at 3 a.m. or so and take them out to go. Have them go potty, praise them, and put them right back in the kennel. Let them know night time is not playtime!

KENNEL TRAINING

Our puppies are already used to sleeping in a "Pet Porter" or "Vari Kennel" at night. You can continue this in your own home. Tell them to "Kennel up" each time you put them in the kennel. They may cry the first few nights for about 20 minutes or so. To minimize this I suggest draping a towel over the door and turn the lights out. They will stop and go to sleep. You may put in a favorite blanket or toy.

TRAVEL

The safest way for your pup to travel is in a kennel. Again tell them "Kennel up" each time you put them in. Teach them to sit and stay when you open the door to the kennel so you can attach the leash. Teach them to wait for your "OK" command before getting out of the kennel. This prevents them jumping out into possibly unsafe conditions. You should always have control of your dog!

CHEWING

Puppies need to chew. They are teething. Later they will get their adult teeth and molars. Have plenty of toys; rope twist toys are very good, fetching toys, rawhide chews/bones etc. If you find them chewing on something they shouldn't; tell them "NO" [firmly] and give them something they can chew on. Then praise them for chewing the right thing.

TRAINING

When the pups are outside with you, always have them on a leash. If you can devote 20 minutes to 1 hour a day with your puppy they will learn very fast. They key is consistency and praise. Work on one task at a time. Call their name first (to get their attention) then the state the task; "Dixie, sit." Gently put them in a sitting position and praise,"Good Dixie, sit. Good girl." Puppies have their good days and not so good days, just like people! Always end on a positive note. They want to please you; you are their world. You will get back a thousandfold what you put into your pup..

TRAINING BOOK

There are several good books available. Before buying one, go to the public library and check out several books to examine before settling on one that is easy to read and understand.
