Five things a puppy must have:
* Be a member of your family- dogs that are locked in the backyard develop bad habits
* Have clear and consistently applied rules- dogs love structure and must have leadership
* Forgiveness for their mistakes and rewards for their successes- set them up to succeed
* Exposure to everything that they may encounter as adults- puppy kindergarten and obedience
classes are a must
* Time... Time...Time- you get out what you put in
