ISO Dog Trainer

[CUPID]

I love my doggy. He is 14 months old and is pretty new to my home. He is a 18lb male Chinese Crested Powder Puff and oh so adorable. He follows me around everywhere and is very protective of me. His favourite things are Mr. Cupids socks, sleeping on the pillow and curling right up to my head, tormenting the cat and barking at the Fed Ex man.

He is still a little skiddish because he is getting used to his new home but for the most part is well trained. We still have a few bad habits from his old home we need to break and I am looking to find recommendations for dog training/obedence in the GTA. Any suggestions?

If your dog had a home before u and picked up habbits u don't know how to get rid off, your bes tchoice to find a trainer specializing in puppies, who could come to your home and see the specifics of now enviroment for the dog. t takes some time for the dog to adjust to a new home ( just like for the kids - very much same mentality ). U have to set your rules from the beginning, other wise your lovable dog will take full control over u, and at that point will be so much harder to change certain behavour or habbits.
Talking ffom experience. U might find some habbits cute at first, but if it doesn't go away and starts bothering u, u will get fraustrated and upset with the dog, and he might act worse.
When trainer comes to your home, he watches dog action on the spot, and he can explain to u how to prevent on the everyday basics. Also, basic classes training can help too. But for basics commands, not the habbits or behavour.
Love dogs, have two of them myself. Good luck! and enjoy the company of your little friend!
