Archeological evidence suggests that humans and dogs have chosen each other's company for over 30.000 years. However, recent cultural influences have muddied the waters on how we can best connect and care for our canine kin.
Of course, raising a baby of a different species does not come naturally. And, it's a long-term commitment. A big responsibility. So why would we leave things to chance? In the hope that puppy will somehow just "grow out of it"?
Effective puppy parenting requires in-depth knowledge about this species: their normal behaviours, developmental stages and age-appropriate care needs. And especially, how they make sense of the world, learn and communicate.
Thankfully, informed by evidence-based science, progressive Family Dog Professionals are leading the way again towards "The Dog's Truth".
Learn how you can give your puppy the best life possible, with tried and tested, effective teaching methods and mindful parental guidance.
