In this country, millions of Treasurer: Lisa Pinto puppies do not survive their first year.

The puppy who knows how to sit, but does not know how to greet strangers is unlikely to survive. The pup who knows how to greet strangers politely may actually live long enough to learn how to sit, heel and stay. To see how this perspective translates into a training program, here is a brief overview of Tug's early education. Establishing some ground rules.
