" Puppies are most influenced by playmates and humans
" Puppies should be feed at least 2 meals a day from now on and throughout their life
" Puppies should receive a rabies vaccination between four and six months
" At four months puppies may experience another fear stage and can last up to two weeks. Handle onsets of fear calmly; do
not comfort the puppy and do not make a big issue out of the puppy's fear. Encourage the puppy to investigate, or at least
ignore the object that they fear. Allow the puppy to work it out and walk past the object many times so the puppy get used to it
again.
" Puppy begins to wander farther away form the pack; allow the puppy to explore under safe conditions however maintain close
supervision
" Teething and associated chewing begins. Some puppies are oblivious to teething; others seem to get painful gums; be
careful, show and tell rather then correcting a puppy during this period. Puppies tend to chew a lot during this period, so
provide lots of safe chew toys.
" Puppy begins to see and use ranking within the pack, including humans. During this time the puppy tries to determine who
will be the pack leader; him or his owner? Bad habits, especially those showing attempts to dominate such as biting, even in
play, biting the leash when walked and chasing moving objects such as brooms, vacuums, shovels, tires have to be strongly
discouraged through positive training methods.

* When a dog stands on its owners feet, leaning against them, "talking back," standing in front or in the
doorway, blocking the owner, or attempting to knock them over, demanding affection and/or jumping in your
lap, placing a paw on people and/or the shoulder of another dog during introduction and/or play and/or mounting
another dog during play, excessive territorial marking.

*When introduced to another dog of social maturity, dominant dogs may stand tall, with their ears up and
forward, tail high and wagging slowly and stiffly from side to side, with raised hackles, staring, and/or growling
lowly with lips pursed and teeth exposed. If the other dog displays submissive behavior, these displays
subside.

*In dogs that display aggression toward other dogs regardless of social maturity, or submissive reaction in
response to the display, are considered dog-aggressive not dominance aggressive.

*A dog can be confident, even pushy and assertive without being aggressive. A dog can "talk back" and snort
at you, or demand affection, without being aggressive. However, the longer controlling behaviors are tolerated,
the more the behavior is likely to escalate into aggression as the dog begins to enter into social maturity
(18-36 months). Once a dog has begun growling or snarling when a person reaches over its shoulders or
head, handles its muzzle or face, looks it in the eye, reprimands it, or disturbs it while sleeping, the pushy
behavior has risen to a level that is now considered aggressive.

Any behavior in a puppy or dog that defies its owner can be considered as the puppy or dog exercising
dominants and should be examined as them attempting to move up in the ranks; maintaining a calm, assertive
behavior along with consistent training and behavioral corrective techniques enables the owner in maintaining
pack leader status. At no time should you let your dog claim pack leader over you; it promotes unpredictability
and can place you and others as well as the dog in harms way.
