Say name first and then command (give pup time to respond before helping pup into position).

When walking, talk to your pup - telling them how good they are by walking correctly. Constantly encourage your puppy. Tell them "no sniff" if they are constantly sniffing the ground and "hup-hup" if your pup lags behind. You can use "easy" or "steady" if your pup is pulling too hard.

We are NOT to use the commands "right", "left", "heel" or "leave it" with our puppies.

Do not talk to pup when doing sit, down, or rest commands. Simply say their name and the command.

Be sure to praise your puppy whenever they do something correctly; always correct your puppy if they have done something wrong - both on and off the leash.

When you do the "come" command, make sure you say the name and command before you snap the leash for pup to turn around.

Make pup sit before eating, greeting people or going out the door. Tell pup to rest before getting out of a car.

Go over commands every day - if your pup is having trouble with something, pay particular attention to that command. New pups should not start all commands at once. Check with us when to introduce harder commands.

If pup is shy or afraid of situations, introduce them slowly. Encourage pup to "check it out".

Make sure pup gets plenty of exposure. Start around light traffic, gradually working up to busier areas as pup gets more confident. Always walk facing traffic until pup is confident.

Do NOT play tug-of-war with your puppy.

Check with us before using a training collar. They are NOT to be used on young pups.

Keep hands away from your puppy's face when playing.

Always walk and play with pup before leaving in the morning.

When going for a walk, do not let pup greet other dogs. If they are used to doing this, it will be much harder for them in training.

Remember to put pup in crate or puppy proof the room before leaving.

Always remove pup's collar before putting them in their crate.

Remember - training collars are for training and walking only. They are not to be worn in the house. Have pup wear a leather or nylon collar with tags. Make sure pup cannot choke or escape from the collar.

Your pup is to be on leash at all times outdoors. Puppy parks are NOT to be used by our puppies.

Any major or chronic illness or emergency, notify The Seeing Eye rep and us.

Have your vet contact The Seeing Eye for permission before x-rays or extensive testing is done or for any procedure that will exceed $150.00.

Always carry a puppy kit wherever you go (paper towels, plastic bags, etc).

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

ABOVE ALL - LOVE, ENJOY AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR PUPPY !!!!!
