This is a brilliant article about doing your research before purchasing your new puppy! ❤️❤️❤️ The author Jane Ardern is a fantastic trainer and behaviourist, Enjoy 🤩

“Puppies are not clean slates !
You often hear people say 'get a puppy they are a clean slate'

As a behaviourist and breeder I can confidently tell you this is not true. Both nature and nurture has a huge impact.
A puppy will inherit genes from its parents and these genes will impact the puppies genetic potential to behave in a particular way.
Such as :
Using aggression as a strategy to deal with difficult situations
Sociability towards people and dogs
Fearful responses
Strong instinctive behaviour to hunt, chase, grab and hold.
Trainability including the ability to learn self control as humans desire it
When people breed dogs they sometimes select for specific traits and sometimes not. If someone is breeding for a particular look or just money then these traits can become altered becoming stronger or weaker or unbalanced.

Then the puppy is born and the first 8 weeks learning with the breeder will have an huge impact on the development of all these genetic traits.

My six puppies have all come from the same parents and been reared in the same environment. They have very individual personalities. The training and socialisation they receive in their new homes will only influence the genes and first learning, it won't change their personalities.

So if you are looking for a puppy
Firstly learn about breed traits and instincts and make sure you pick a puppy that will suit your lifestyle. For example there no point getting a breed that is 'aloof with strangers' if you have 3 young children and lots of friends visiting.

Secondly meet the parents or (genes), see what they are like. Make sure you are meeting the actual parents, some people buy in puppy farmed litters and then 'hire' an adult of the same breed to pretend the puppies were bred there!!

Thirdly make sure the puppy has had plenty of early neurological stimulation and learning before it leaves the litter. Ask these questions.
1) What have the puppies seen?
2) Who and what have they met?
2) What have they learnt?
3) How have they learned to play?
4) What do they do if they get frustrated?
5) What do they do if they get bored?

A professional trainer can help support and guide you on the process of looking for a puppy. Don't wait till afterwards for help.

Prevention IS better than Cure. This goes for training and socialisation too, get a professional to help and guide you.

Puppies are building neural pathways with every experience, every day, make sure they're building ones you like.

First Learning is the strongest, make sure you get it right first time.”

Real life happens, it’s the work we do outside of the situation that creates a dog that can manage brilliantly in the situation, when it arises 💖💖💖 this is why I adore concept and games based training 🙏🙏🙏

Calmness is still KING 👑

all of my clients know that I bang on and on about calmness especially in the home! Calmness ROCKS

I have developed a little calmness routine, that when I sit at my desk and light a candle, my dogs know it’s time to chill out and switch off. ❤️❤️❤️

I love that they can switch off and really sleep 😴

💖💖💖 1:2:1 training

I LOVE 1:2:1 training, it’s such an amazing way to tailor your learning with the needs of your dog/s, so we can specifically tackle challenges and struggles with an an approach that is individually focused on you and your dog 💖🎉💖

I offer a free consultation call so you can chat through your challenges and we can get working on a transformation plan. Equally if you prefer messaging or emails, then that brilliant too.

Once you are booked in I have a fantastic library of resources to dip into and share any appropriate free learning with you 💥💖🎉
