puppy tricks, growth, raw meat

[aresismine]

What tricks does your dog know? When should I start teaching tricks. I heard that it a really good idea to your dog at least one trick.

Hes growing really fast, any advice to make sure he is growing healthy. We are waiting to give him raw meat, should we continue or can I give him scraps with our boxer?

Are you going to do all raw meat or mix with his dog food? Raw diet is good for any age dog.

You should teach basic obedience and basic commands for around the house like crate, go lay down, off, leave it, etc. Once you've taught those then the next step would be to add distractions. The latter part is called proofing. Tricks are fun for both the human to train and the dog to learn, but the most important commands are the basics. I don't know what techniques you train your dog with, but I like to use positive reinforcement for the learning stages.
