Best ways to start a large breed puppy off right from day one?

Question

Just got my Newfie and to keep it concise, I am curious as to strategies for starting a bigger dog off the right way other than diligent training. I live with roommates and want to start my boy off the right way. Thanks!!! Pet's info: Dog | Newfoundland | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 8 days old | 10 lbs

Congratulations on your new pup! You can visit the following link for training tips and how to deal with common behaviour issues http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=T&C=33&S=1 also try Adaptil, a calming pheromone that can help reduce anxiety in puppies and dogs www.adaptil.com . Training is still needed with all puppies and dogs, and enrolling Sitka in a puppy training class is a good way to help socialize him correctly in a safe environment. You can also find a trainer who can do sessions with you at home if scheduling is an issue for training classes. Neutering is also a good idea to help reduce roaming, marking behaviour, humping and aggression. Good luck.
