Puppy training refers to a process in which young dogs are taught basic manners, obedience commands and socialization skills. This is usually done through positive reinforcement techniques such as praise, treats or play, by their owners or trainers. Puppy training helps the dog learn how to live harmoniously with humans and other animals in a household environment, and also prepares them for more advanced obedience training later on. It is essential that puppies receive proper socialization and training during their early months so they can grow into well-behaved, happy dogs.
