- Find a dog trainer with The CCPDT credentials. Start training right away, we always started before 3 months old. Our trainer welcomed the whole family including young children so everyone understands, really you're also training yourselves. Class training is a great way to start socializing puppies with other dogs and people. Ian Dunbar says puppies should meet 100 different people and pets in the first months.

- Puppy time is the best time to introduce all sorts of unusual noises and situations so they don't develop anxiety about new things.

- Make frozen kongs with kibble and nofat plain yogurt, peanut butter etc. to keep puppy busy, not getting into things.

- Crate train at night and for potty training. Big dog breeds can hold their bladder overnight pretty quickly. Use an xpen or baby gates to keep track of puppy.
