What kind of training do the puppy raisers give the dog?
Raisers teach the puppies basic obedience, how to be well-behaved dogs, and give them lots of social exposure and love. At each meeting a training circle is held where the basic obedience consisting of sit, down, rest, and recall is reviewed. The dogs are never taught to “heel,” but rather to have a firm, steady pull. The dogs are also taught good house manners such as staying off furniture, not jumping up on people, not barking/whinning, and no people food.
