What do i do with my puppy when we aren't training?

Question: Hey Jeremy I have a 9 week old black lab pup that I bred from my male and female. My question is what do I do with the puppy when we aren't training and am around the house? Do I let him roam the house or keep in crate when we aren't training?

Answer: My puppys have 3 options until they prove to be trusted otherwise.
1. On their place (puppy place training)
2. In their kennel/crate
3. With me under 100% supervision

Those three options ensure that they succeed. As they get older, they earn my trust and with that can come more freedom. Honestly, most of my dogs lay on their beds by choice after it becomes such habit and seen as a safe spot.
I hope that helps,
Jeremy
