prohunter 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) another good thing to do would to take her to puppy classes, it is a good thing to do with gettin the dog socialized so she gets used to every thing befor you work her. sorry for the spelling by the way Edited August 24, 2008 by prohunter Quote Link to post

Be patient with your pup, personally I would wait until at least 12 months old, concentrate on good training Quote Link to post
