🐾 The #1 Skill That Could Save Your Puppy’s Life🐾
It all starts with your puppy’s name! Teaching your pup to **look at you when you say their name** is the foundation for reliable recall, stronger connection, and safety—especially around distractions. 👀
✅ Step 1: Respond to their name — Start in a quiet space and reward the moment they look at you.
✅ Step 2: Teach "Come" — Use a hand signal to encourage your pup to move towards you, then pair it with a verbal cue.
✅ Step 3: Jackpot rewards — The harder the challenge, the bigger the reward (treats, praise, play)!
When your puppy learns that responding to their name and coming when called always brings something awesome, you’ll have a puppy who’s focused, responsive, and *safe*—in any situation.
✨ **Pro Tip**: Start in low-distraction areas and slowly add more challenges as your puppy becomes more reliable. You’re building trust and cooperation, one step at a time.
