Are you a new puppy parent? We've got you covered! Follow us over the next few weeks for tips and adorable snippets of puppy life.
Today, we're talking about the importance of teaching your pup their name.
We take the time to choose a name we like that fits our new puppy and we want them to know it! So our habit as humans is to use it a lot and expect them to pick it up. I’m going to recommend you do the exact opposite. The first few days you should only use their name when you have their attention already and can immediately follow it with a reinforcer (either treats or cuddles). Try to never use their name when you’re wanting to correct their behavior or if you aren’t confident they’re going to respond. If we say it too often (especially in negative connotations like when they’re chewing on the electric cords and we need them to STOP) then we run the risk of their name just becoming background noise to them.
Bringing a new puppy home? Introducing them to your current dog can be a fun, rewarding experience!
Whether you’ve got a social butterfly or a more cautious pup, setting up introductions with care helps build a strong bond. A little prep goes a long way in ensuring both dogs feel comfortable and confident! 🐾

🐾 Give them a tasty treat to distract and positively condition them to the fireworks
🐾 Ensure your dog wears a collar with an ID tag. Additionally, put some tape on their collar with your phone number on it
🐾Never leave them unattended outside, as they may get scared and run away
🐾Turn on the TV or music to help drown out the fireworks
Let's make this a fun and safe holiday for all - including our furry friends!

Want your dog trained but don't have the time to dedicate to training right now? Our two week board and train may be a good option for you! On weekdays they go to dayschool to play with their doggy friends and get trained by both of our dayschool trainers, then in the evenings and on weekends they go home with one of our advanced trainers to continue working on their skills in a home environment. Teddy's beautiful engagement with his mom is a great representation of what we're always working towards - a happy connected team that can do anything together!
Our board and train program include the two week immersive training, a cue transfer session when you pick your pup up, one follow up private lesson, and unlimited access to after school coaching Wednesday nights to tune up their skills as needed
