Putting your puppy early into a group training class is a wonderful way to get started with training and socializing your puppy. Puppies can start learning new tricks as early as 6 weeks old, so it is never too early to get started. This is the best time to get him started with learning and socializing so that he grows up with very good behavior and doggy manners.

I noticed that my dogs that I had not trained early on were less well behaved than the ones I got an early start with in group classes. Before I started taking puppies to class early, I had 2 different aggressive dogs. Before I even started their belated obedience training, they had already developed a serious behavior problem. With the pups I have taken to early group puppy training lessons, thanks to the socializing, none of them has developed an aggression problem.

When the puppy is still living with his Mama and siblings he gets constant lessons in socialization. Whenever a puppy gets too out of line-perhaps he is playing too aggressively-the litter mates will gang up on him, or Mama will put a stop to his boisterousness by grabbing him by the scruff of the neck or putting a paw over him to hold him still. An example of this is when the Mama dog grabs the offending puppy by the scruff of his neck and gives him a shake and holds him until he calms down and submits entirely. This is how puppy's normally learn their guidelines. Puppies are like kids, and they need some guidance to learn how to behave.

Since your puppy now depends on you for socialization, you need to make sure he is exposed to other dogs and people and reduce the chance  he grows up isolated and aggressive. Dogs are social animals and need companionship to be happy. It turns out that a dog that is kept confined and has no social interaction with other dogs is much more likely to become an aggressive anti-social type of dog. I feel that the 2 aggressive dogs I had earlier became that way due to isolation.

Naturally, getting your puppy started early with group training classes is also a great way to begin the basic obedience training. In addition to socializing your pup you will be learning the basic commands and hand signals so you can continue your puppy's training daily at home. Before I took my own puppies to group classes I had dogs that were obedience trained, but just not socially trained. A dog that is well balanced both socially and with obedience training fits well in any type of social situation.It makes sense that a puppy who had the continuing socialization of group class will be more comfortable around other dogs and strangers as he gets older.

Puppies are ready by 6 weeks of age for their group class-they can already soak up new things like a sponge. If you have you seen the cool videos on YouTube of little puppies doing tricks you know what I mean.

I think this one tip on taking your puppy to group training classes is probably the most single important step to greatly diminishing the likelihood of having an aggressive dog later on. Look up information on group puppy training courses in your area and use one that uses positive reinforcement training only. In addition to the benefits of early obedience training and socializing, my puppy and I had a lot of fun going to the classes.
