Saying our prayers before we eat 🙏
Feeding time is my favorite training time! Make the most of something you do everyday anyways to practice important skills with your dog like patience and recall 🐾
A foundation is your puppy’s core skill set of basic commands, impulse control and manners. These skills enable you to live a stress free, fun life with your puppy and build on them to train your puppy in any sport or work! At 12 weeks Piper can:
🌟Recall well
🌟Walk on a loose leash
🌟Hold a sit-stay while patiently waiting to be released to eat
🌟 Stay on bed, even when the kids get home from school!
It’s not magic… it’s consistent, intentional training! Puppies are sponges when we bring them home, ensure they are learning good habits with my puppy foundation workbook and coaching! Share this with someone who has a puppy or is getting one soon 🐶💕
Chasing your puppy when they grab something encourages keep away or worse, resource guarding. Instead, recall your puppy to you, reward, then redirect to an appropriate toy or chew! Recalls are like a muscle, the more you practice the better they become! You must practice and reward recalls frequently to have the skills to use it when you need it.

Recall goals 🤩
Liam did fabulous recalling past other dogs and even over a wall at group class today! 🙌🐶💖
Mornings are often hectic to get everyone ready, fed, lunches packed and out the door on time. One of my favorite practices to decrease the chaos is to bed train my puppies during this time! Committing a week to teach this skill allows the rest of their life to be effortless where my puppy is the calm among the chaos instead of adding to it! What’s your favorite time to practice bed and decrease the chaos in your home? 🐶🐾❤️
