What Your Puppy Needs Most :
- YOU !
- Food and Water Bowls
- Collar and leash
- Crate or their special bed
- Picker for their poop (oops!!)
- Grooming tools
- Puppy Toys
From three to six months the puppy is learning how to learn. So training sessions are tied in with fun, simply paying attention, praise and being with you. Discipline instills self- discipline and self-confidence, but puppy this age is still emotionally immature and most are sensitive to correction. Some will remain that way. Never make a harsh correction or punishment by hand, voice or leash.
Obedience instructors generally stick to the six months age minimum for beginners based on probability that the puppy is housetrained (most training facilities are indoors and rented), on the puppy’s ability to concentrate for more than 2 minutes, and on the owner’s capability of handling a slightly more mature, less rambunctious dog. In other words, the “six months or older” rule prevents chaos in the average canine classroom.

Your dog’s “human” age and longevity
The modern way to compare dog and human years :
One dog years equals fifteen human
Two dog years equals twenty four human.
Then add four years to the human’s for every one of the dog’s (three equals twenty eight, four equal thirty two, five equal thirty six, etc)
Another factor regarding age is size. Small dogs live longer (eighteen to twenty years is not uncommon) and giant breeds (Great Danes, Irishwolfhounds) live only five to ten years.
