Managing the environment

Create a safe learning and living environment.

Management is a key component to raising puppies. Managing the environment allows us to remove the opportunity for failure while we teach puppies acceptable behaviour. In this unit we will teach you how to successfully manage your environment.

​

Management is basically controlling your puppy's learning experiences, good and bad. It might mean confining your puppy, crating your puppy and setting up baby gates to control access to different areas in your home. Without managing your puppy's environment, your training will either progress VERY slowly or not at all.  Without management your ability to have positive training experiences will be very limited, and the good behaviours will not outweigh the bad. We highly recommend taking a look around, and seeing how you can better manage your puppies learning environment.
