🐶🐶Did you just bring home TWO PUPPIES?!?👉🏼A lot of people think having two puppies at the same time will save them some work: the puppies will be each other’s forever buddies and do everything together. All the potty training, puppy stages and training can get done at the same time … what could possibly go wrong? Well… EVERYTHING 😬 (and that’s not how any of that works!)👉🏼 There are actually a lot of issues related to having two puppies (regardless if they are siblings or pups close in age) and it’s important to be proactive so we don’t add on to, solicit, or continue to feed existing issues.👉🏼 Dogs close in age can create unhealthy attachments to each other and develop severe behavioral issues with one another. 🐶 Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes you can have two dogs raised together that don’t have any issues and are great companions for one another.:: but that isn’t common. 👉🏼Two puppies should be treated as individuals as much as possible and given individual attention, training, sleeping/ rest areas, playtime, etc.And sometimes we combine them together for play sessions, walking and training but the goal is to have two dogs that are confident solo and not fixated on one another 24/7. 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼BTW if any breeder or rescue encourages or allows you to take home two puppies at the same time THEY ARE NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE. The probability of one of those pups eventually getting rehomed is VERY HIGH and no responsible rescue or breeder would take that chance.#dogtraining #siblings #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #puppytraining #twopuppiesbetterthanone #puppies #puppytraining101 #puppytrainingtips #puppytrainingclass #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingisfun #puppyproblems #twopuppies #dogs #puppyoftheday #dogoftheday
If you have to bribe, chase or catch your dog to get them back inside the house then this training exercise is for YOU! Tell me about your dog in the comments. What do they do when it’s time to go back inside the house? How to video coming up 🐶#dogtraining #dogtrainingvideos #positivedogtraining #puppytraining #dogtrainer #rewardbasedtraining
We love training dogs ♥️ Training isn’t just about obedience.It’s not just about fixing a problem.Training is building confidence, teaching dogs to love learning, having fun and bonding. #dogtraining #positivedogtraining #rewardbasedtraining #dogagility #puppyagility #agilitydog #agilitytraining #dogtrainers #jackrussellterrier #jrtpuppy
Place training isn’t hard to do. And there is ZERO reason to use force to teach it. In fact, my favorite method is SHAPING the place. Want to see how Joey the poodle puppy learned this? Drop your dogs name in the comments. I’ll post the how to video! There are so many great uses for place!#puppytraining #puppytrainingtips #dogs #rewardbasedtraining #poodlepuppy #dogtrainer #placetraining
Off leash trainingOff leash training is something I get inquiries about ALL THE TIME! People want their dogs to be able to respond off leash…. And I agree! They should be able to if needed! NOTE: This doesn’t give anyone the right to disobey leash laws though so keep that in mind.Dogs are off leash most of the time in our home and yard. Occasionally at dog friendly places like some parks and sniff spots. Sometimes they accidentally get off leash in an open area (maybe they ran out a door or gate, or the leash or collar snapped) and should be able to respond to you appropriately. Here is ONE game (of many) that I play with puppies and older dogs to start teaching them to respond and be attentive to me when off leash. During this game I simply walk around (and I make sure to have a good snack on me like cheese or chicken)… when the puppy looks up to find me OR EVEN BETTER, when they run over to me without any prompting, I make a big deal, lots of verbal praise and they get a bit of the good snack… then they get to go do whatever they want again. Each time they check in I repeat what I’m doing. This is done for just a few minutes at a time. #puppyoftheday #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #offleash #puppyoffleashtraining #positivedogtraining #puppylife #newpuppy #newdog #dogmom #dogdad #runawaydog
Training with a buddy is great! The puppies get to work around eachother, learning when its rime to pay attention or go goof off.
During this game the puppies must stay on their place (no specific position) until released by their trainer.

If your puppy takes a while to potty in your yard or gets distracted easily then this hack is for you!Giving your puppy a smaller section of yard to potty in will help your puppy concentrate on going to the bathroom and will speed up the process! As an added bonus this will also teach the puppy to go to that section of your yard in the future for potty breaks even when the gate/ pens have been removed. This will help keep the rest of the yard clean for playtime and allow for easier pick up. #puppytraining #puppytrainingtips #puppies #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #puppyadvice #positivedogtraining #rewardsbasedtraining #lapponianherder #babydog #newpuppy #puppytraining101 #puppytraininghacks #dogmom #dogdad #puppyadoption

Here’s a clip of my dog Quinn when he was 10 weeks old (now 13.5 years ago!)We do a lot of clicker training and this was a catching session. This means I would wait for him to offer a behavior to me and then I would click and reward it.In this session he came up with spinning and not only did it in one direction but also the other 😊 Doing positive training with puppies early on allows them to be creative and you end up with a puppy that very open to learning new things and easy to teach. Rest Easy, Quinn. We miss you everyday ♥️••••#sheltie #shetlandsheepdog #puppytraining #rip #heartdog #ilovemydog #myheart #puppytrainer #clickertraining #positivedogtraining #puppylife #puppygoals #puppygram #puppyoftheday
5 things I don’t regret teaching my 13 year old dog when he was a puppy 🥹❤️🐶1. Manners in public. Taking time to train him in different places and work on proper socialization and exposure training while he was young has made such a difference in his life. He’s a pleasure anywhere he goes and easy to travel with. 2. Tricks. This may not seem important but teaching tricks is so good for building a fun working relationship. He enjoys learning new things at any age! Practicing his tricks and obedience helps keep his mind sharp ✨☀️3. Working with other people. He’s a good listener no matter who he is with. This has made it easy for others to watch him if he didn’t travel with me and has made him a great animal actor! 4. How to self entertain appropriately and be okay with being left alone. He uses his chew toys and bones and doesn’t stress out when a person isn’t home with him. 5. Social skills with children and other animals. When he was a puppy I didn’t have a child of my own and wasn’t normally around children so I made an effort to make sure he was well exposed (this doesn’t mean a bunch of kids were always just petting him). I also made sure to let him see other species of animals and worked on his manners around them. Most animals are very relaxed around him since he isn’t fixated on them and trying to invade their personal space.If you’re going to be spending many years with an animal, taking the time and putting in the effort to work with them when they are young can make such a difference in your bond and relationship. This dog is my best friend and I miss him so much ❤️💔Slip lead disclaimer: slip leads are fine used on trained dogs that do not pull. We also use them as a back up leash for nervous dogs that may be able to slip their harness or leash. We also use them in animal acting and agility for quick on and off. We do not use slip leads to train a dog. #dogtraining #dogs #seniordogs #seniordog #mybo
”Leave it” will mean DONT TOUCH THAT AND/ OR WALK AWAY FROM IT!🐶Leave it is a hard exercise for a dog to learn because the “thing” you want them to leave alone can constantly change: it could be random food they find on a sidewalk, garbage, another animal, a strange person, a moving item like a bike, etc. so practicing with a variety of items is key 🔑 in order for your dog to really grasp the concept. 🐶Teaching this also requires some great reinforcement! Don’t be stingy with your praise and treats!🐶In this video I’m showing you how to teach this on the floor. We still have to practice in different ways like if someone is holding an object a dog must leave alone (think toddler with snack in hand), teach the dog to leave items on raised surfaces alone (like your glasses on a nightstand especially for those fast growing puppies!), work on moving objects (think cars or cat running by) AND we have to make it a point to work with the dog inside and outside. This isn’t easy! In this video we have already started working on leave it with this puppy. When he is asked to leave the item alone (in this case its food) i simply wait for him disengage with it and when thay happens im marking the behavior of leave it and ENCOURAGING him to walk away from the food by following me to get his reward/ treat. Im not jerking him, pulling on him or repeating myself over and over to get him to stop. Im letting him make a choice.DROP IT means to spit/ release something out of their mouth. Don’t mix them up 🐶🙅🏻♀️👇🏼If you’re interested in teaching this from are 1 or are Ready to see the next part?

Here are three things you can do to make your pups wait at the door a MUCH stronger behavior:
1. Reward your dog for the wait as much as possible.
2. Use a clear release and / or signal to let your dog know they can exit. No making the dog guess!
3. Proof your dogs wait by adding little distractions. Reward your dog for not falling for any of your tricks!
