• 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 puppu 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 whereever 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 !!!!!
