One of the most important things to work on as soon as you get your puppy is physical manipulation.
Physical manipulation means touching your puppy in various ways so that he is comfortable, not only with you, but also with guests, veterinarians, groomers, and basically anyone he will come in contact with as a puppy and as an adult.
We start with a really high value piece of food, possibly something my puppy has never had before. We feed him during the entire process of touching and restraining to make sure he understands that it is a good experience and not anything scary.
