Getting a new puppy, kitten, or even a hamster can be one of the most exciting times for families. But when your new pet doesn't train well, it can quickly frustrate you. Six months ago, my family adopted a puppy. We currently own an older dog and cat, so getting a new puppy seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, our pup didn't take well to potty training. The puppy also didn't listen to commands very well. After the third month of having our new pet, we signed up for training classes. Although it took a while, our pup now follows commands and potties in the right place. If you need tips to help train your new pet, read my blog. All you need are some time, patience, and understanding. Good luck with your training.
