Press Release Summary = It is important for the puppy's owner to slowly build the
confidence of the dog, starting off at the bottom of the stairs. In general, a wide
stairway will probably be less frightening to the puppy.

Press Release Body = Bringing home a new puppy is always an exciting time for the
entire family. Getting that new puppy off the right start with proper training is
very important to making that puppy a valued member of his human family. There are
a number of talents that every new puppy must master, including going up and down
the stairs, and how to accept a new collar as if she's worn it her entire life.



It is best to introduce a new puppy to the household when everyone in the family is
present, and when the household is as calm as possible. That is why animal care
experts discourage parents from giving puppies and kittens as holiday presents.



The holiday season is typically much too busy, with far too many distractions, for a
young puppy or kitten to get the attention it needs. It is best to wait until the
holidays have passed before introducing the new family member.



Once the puppy is part of the household, there are some things he or she will need
to learn. One of the first challenges of a multi-story home will be learning to
climb up and down the stair. Many puppies are afraid of stairs, and that usually
means that they do not know how to climb them properly.



It is important for the puppy's owner to slowly build the confidence of the dog,
starting off at the bottom of the stairs. In general, a wide stairway will probably
be less frightening to the puppy.



To build confidence, the owner should go up the first step, then encourage the puppy
to join them, using their voice, treats or a toy. After the puppy has joined you on
the first stair, go back down and repeat the process until the puppy will go up that
step on his own. It is important to build confidence slowly and not rush the
process. Taking a one step at a time approach is the best way to teach the puppy to
not be afraid of stairs.



Another thing every new puppy must learn is how to accept the collar. Learning to
wear a collar is important to every dog, but many puppies are baffled, frightened
and bewildered by this new piece of equipment. Many puppies constantly try to
remove their new collar by pawing and pulling at it.



Fit is important when choosing a collar for your new puppy. A properly fitted
collar, chosen for your puppy's size, is more likely to be comfortable and accepted.
While choke collars, slip collars and training collars can be good training aids,
they should never be used as a substitute for a sturdy buckle type collar.
