About this episode

Steve Snell shares essential tips for puppy owners to enhance their relationship with their new dogs.

It's puppy season and who couldn't use some encouragement for those late nights ... or advice on maximizing your new dog's mental and physical development? Steve Snell, owner of Gun Dog Supply, knows dogs, and especially young ones. A recent email from Steve prompted me to follow up on his seven tips for puppy owners. Turns out, many of the tips are just as relevant to owners of not-so-young dogs, too. From picking a breeder to buying a pup, a Texas hunting story or two, to the importance of putting hands on a pup and crate training essentials, Steve gives us the most important things a pup and its owner should be doing early in their relationship.
