in about 2 weeks I will be bringing home my little boy diesel who probably won't be so little anymore. He'll be 9 weeks old and I want to make sure I do everything right.
First off where is the best place to take a puppy for training? It's been 9 years since I've had a puppy so I'm a little rusty
I live in VA if that helps
What are some bad habits I should try to avoid with him while he's young so he won't do it when he's older?
What kind of collar should I use for him to stop him from pulling?
When it comes to small animals and children should I socialize him around them early so it isn't a problem when he's older?
I've read that they whine a lot. Is there a reason for that? Is there anything I can do to help that not become a problem? I'm a sucker when a dog starts whining
Does anyone have any good advice of things I should do right away to avoid problems when he's older?
Thanks in advanced!
