Last Thursday, I got a new puppy. He is a purebred Pitt Bull named Hank, and he is the sweetest thing ever. He's very cute, and has blue eyes, chews on everything, and eats and poops a lot. A big challenge for me now is training him. Training a puppy is a lot like training employees. First of all, it is impossible to go into training a puppy without knowing a lot about it. Training employees, too, takes a lot of education before anyone can be ready to do it on their own. Training a puppy is all about giving them positive reinforcement when they are good and negative reinforcement when they are bad. It is important to let puppies learn from their own mistakes. Training employees is the same way. You can try to tell them how to do it, but the important part is letting them do the job and letting them know when they do something good or do something bad. Employees also become stronger by making mistakes and learning from them. It is easy to coddle a puppy, and it is also easy to coddle employees and do things for them when they are having trouble doing it on their own. And, most importantly, I need to house train Hank. I will also need to make sure that my employees don't poop on the floor.
