Are you the kind of person who stands in awe at parties and family reunions, watching other's people pets sit and heel when there are told to do so? If you answered yes, then it wouldn't hurt to spend some quality training time with your dog. The most influential stage in a dog's development are the first years that he spends as a puppy.

Many of us like to have dogs around. They make great pets and good friends but house breaking them can be a pain. Not to mention training them to sit, fetch, roll over, and play dead. Teaching them to do this can be easy or hard, surprisingly it depends more on the person than the dog.
