Just like a toddler uses their hands to interact with the environment, puppies use their mouths 🐶 . Teach your puppy the appropriate ways they should use their mouths and give them outlets for their desire to chew and bite 🦴 .

This creator does a fantastic job breaking down what to look for when searching for a breeder online. It can be so confusing and overwhelming trying to sift through and avoid backyard and puppy mill breeders. It's important that we do take time and consider who we are buying from so we are supporting generations of temperamentally stable and healthier dogs 🐕

Note:
OFA: https://ofa.org This is a website where the health tests of breeders dogs are made publicly available. This helps keep breeders honest and accountable and give families a direct resource to inspect the dogs of those they are considering purchasing from. You can search your breeders kennel name and all of their current and previous breeding dogs should be listed under their registered name (different from their everyday name, this is the official name of the dog registered under the ckc, akc, etc). If your dogs parents do not appear, this is a red flag 🚩🚩🚩

CHIC number: a dog is issued a CHIC number if it has undergone ALL of the recommended health tests for it's breed. If your parents dogs have CHIC numbers, this is a very good sign that the breeder cares about their reputation and the health of their dogs.

Quiz Below👇
For thousands of years, humans have selectively bred dogs to fulfill specific roles and tasks. Reducing them to "big babies" or affection-seekers disregards their history. At the same time, branding certain breeds as indiscriminately aggressive or likely to "turn on you" is overly simplistic. Dogs aren't just blank slates that absorb love and give back only affection. It's important to investigate the breed you're interested in to see if it suits your lifestyle. If you're seeking a calm, low-energy dog that can be left alone for long stretches and is good with energetic children, an Australian shepherd might not be the best fit🤷‍♀️. A dog that's been properly bred will showcase the typical traits of its breed, and if those characteristics don't fit in easily with your way of living, you should continue your search.🧭

Here's a simple quiz that can help you get an idea of a breed that may suit you: Best Dog Breed for Me and My Family? - American Kennel Club https://buff.ly/49nIoqb

By punishing a growl, you are taking away your dog's last and most vocal sign that they are uncomfortable and may try to defend themselves (snap or bite). Instead of punishing your dog for trying to communicate their discomfort, try to identify what the cause is and work to desensitize your dog to it (if appropriate).

The work isn't over! This was one session. I left written instructions on what the family needs to do to help create quiet and calm when they come to visit. Everyone must be consistent to develop this new habit!

Dog attacks and off-leash dog incidents are on the rise and the perception of modern dog owners is at an all time low. Don't contribute to the "don't worry he's friendly!" plague, be an example of clear thinking and good ownership!
