Get your puppy started off on the right track with proper potty training habits. 🏁✨🐾
It’s much easier to immediately center your brand new puppy’s daily routine around structure and confinement than it is to try and implement these things later on. Don’t wait to crate and practice good kennel habits as soon as possible. You will thank yourself down the road when you see how successful your puppy becomes with potty training and having an on/off switch in the house. Let us know your kennel thoughts or questions!
A structured walk is far more mentally stimulating and beneficial to you and your dog versus a long walk without any leash rules, or just mindless exercise! You’ll want to first have a strong rapport with your dog when out walking, so if you’re new to the loose leash game, start by trying these few tips: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Reward “checking in” with you! Always pay your dog for looking at you or acknowledging you in any way. - Direction switch up. It’s a good opportunity to change direction whenever you feel that your dog is getting too far ahead of you, or if you feel the slightest bit of tension on the leash. - Vary your speed. Changing your pace can be a game changer in getting your dog to notice you as they will have to adjust their stride to keep up! - As always, bring your top tier treats with you when you go out walking!

Do you have a leash reactive dog? There could be some key things that you are doing or NOT doing which is making their reactivity even worse! - You aren’t managing or protecting your dog’s bubble. Always keep a safe enough distance from their triggers to avoid tipping them over threshold. The prevention of this behavior is crucial to their progress. - You aren’t giving them enough information. Does your dog understand what it is that you want from them exactly? It is important that you are proactive enough to not let the reactivity escalate, which means rewarding your dog for incompatible behaviors to the reactive sequence. This typically requires your dog to have good engagement and relatively strong obedience in public with distractions! ✨
