A charming puppy would usually be depicted as a pet with a warm nose, watery big brown eyes and an eager way of licking that you would always want to feel. Whether it could be from those small children, to teens and to those robust men, a pup can always adapt to different levels of various playing fields. Isn't it so soothing and sweet every time a little puppy would always find a way to be cuddled into your arms or feel you hug them and make them feel wanted? What dog owner hasn't thought, “I wish he would stay a pup forever?” In less than twelve months, that tiny fur ball could weigh more than your adolescent son and eat more than he does, as well!

If a puppy with a very young age is the one that you have chosen to bring home as a pet, you will be given the chance to train him on your own terms so that he could adjust to your life-style and environment. You also get to enjoy those comic moments when a pup makes discoveries like chasing his own tail or catching a ball. These times are so unforgettable. If you take heed of the old saying that goes, “you can't teach old dogs some new tricks,” then starting off with a pup should be the thing that you must do so that raising him in your own terms and schooling him to suit your needs and lifestyle can really be possible.

The natural traits of the dog's breed becomes more noticable as the dog is beginning to reach its maturity or as its passes the phase of being a pup. Those violent looking and intimidating watchdogs were also able to melt the hearts of their owners with their charming looks during the times when they were still just pups. Once grown, that same dog can stare a hole through an intruder instantly be prepared to rip his hearts out to protect his territory (and his owners).

As temperate as they may seem, those show dogs would surely require you of an extreme and repetitive educating to fully harness their skills. If you want the show dog to execute on command, letting him be spoilt for quite some times particularly in between trainings can be just confusing to his part.  Dogs who have functions take those roles seriously.

There are breeds of dogs that no matter how old they are, they just seem to be small in appearance, thus, if you want to have a pet that would still have those pup traits or looks like a puppy even if for a long time, then you might as well go for that kind of dogs. There are dogs where their breed calls for a continuous effort of cuddling and caressing. The patience to deal with such inactive keepers is what these kinds of dogs have and they won't get bored if they too, would get stuck watching Television all day. But the truth of the matter is, those dogs are less likely to be tolerant with inactivity when they are still in the pup phase but as soon as they get mature enough, patience is just their virtue and somehow, inertia is also something that they relish provided that they are being cuddled. Being a pup is more of like going through the stage of being a young child - wherein the time to explore, run, get scratched or bumped and the like are just the moments that they enjoy.

Discovering new things is just what most puppies are so excited about –  that all or most of the commands you gave tend to be quickly blocked. Roaming around and even going out to explore the places that they have never been before such as outside your home up to the areas where you can no longer protect them are just the usual things that they can't avoid doing.

You just can't escape the fact that having a pup to live with you or your family can really be tiring, but of course, very enjoyable and memorable. A puppy desperately wants your love and approval, so you have to rectify it without being harsh. puppies coming from the same breed doesn't guarantee the thought that they can actually be the same so you cant just compare their traits as they each has their own distinct traits.

Characteristics and abilities differ from one puppy to another, so, during his schooling, he will improve in a way that is based in his own pace and not comparable to the pace that his siblings had gone through or to the dog that you owned previously.  Dogs, like humanity, can be charming babies and irritating adults - or just the opposite. So be ready to love the dog you have for a lifespan.
