Best dog breed for the 'outdoors'? (For new dog owner too)

You can download Ian Dunbars books for free, I believe they are just titled "before" and "after you get your new puppy" and they cover a lot of the basics for training and socializing.

Thanks! I'll look into it!

Treats are more rewarding than pets for most dogs. You want to use something your dogs loves as a reward during training. You need to really motivate them.

Gotcha. When do you wean them off treats and when (or if) do you stop giving treats in general?

And what can be used for treats? I was told that small bits of cheese can be given and also the treats you buy at the stores, but everyone says not to give more than a few. However, when I watch a a video, like this one, they give quite a bit more than a few. How many should I give per session? Is there any specific brand you can recommend?
