One of the important lessons in advocate is: Always eat your own meal first before you feed your dog and, make sure your dog can see you eating before they get theirs!
The reason why is simple. Your dog is a pack animal and all packs have leaders. Deliberately eating your meals first in the sight of your dog helps establish you as the pack leader and the one to be obeyed in your dog’s mind!
A lot of my customers have found this simple tip to be so effective, however it’s just one part of my entire dog training system and works in harmony with the rest of what I teach.

not something I have ever agreed with, thank goodness that most trainers realise it is rubbish nowadays.
Why does the pup have to stay in the house. if you dont have a garden then put him in the car and get out where you wont meet other dogs and go for a walk. If you have a garden then play with him in it. At one time some areas were recommending the 2nd vaccination at 16 or even 18 weeks which was ridiculous and I was encouraging people to get their dogs out regardless. The risk of the dog getting ill was far less than the risk of it having an awful temperament due to not being socialised.
