I thought I would talk on a more personal level today regarding why it was important for me to develop a routine for my dog, Zoe (that is her on the left), so she knows what to expect and look forward to and so that I can maintain my routine in my home office.

It is important that both the leash and collar should be a good fit for your puppy’s size. If the collar is too small you could hurt your puppy and if it is too big he will get it off.
