As a positive reinforcement dog trainer, I rarely use the word “no.” Instead, I focus on encouraging “yes!” and rewarding the moments when puppies get it right. 🐾

Why? Because reinforcing positive behaviors creates more joy, trust, and understanding between you and your dog. 💙

With Ready, Pup, Go!, you’ll learn how to catch your puppy doing the right thing and reward them, setting the stage for a happy, balanced life together.

✨ Sneak peek into my Surviving the Puppy Blues 6-week course, designed to help you navigate the highs and lows of puppyhood! 🐾

Just like human children, puppies go through important developmental stages that shape their behavior. Imagine how we set age-appropriate expectations for kids—like not expecting a one-year-old to be potty trained. 🍼 It’s the same with our pups!

📝 Here are some key milestones:

Potty training readiness: Control over bodily functions starts around 14 weeks.

Cause and effect understanding: This connection develops around 12 weeks.

Knowing these milestones can help you set realistic expectations and reduce frustration as your puppy grows. Follow along for more tips and insights! 🐶

🍼 Puppy Blues Are Real, and You're Not Alone! 🍼

Sometimes we make big life decisions, like getting a puppy, thinking it'll be the perfect fit. You might work from home, live alone, and imagine your pup being the best companion ever. But reality? It can feel overwhelming, even with an amazing, well-mannered puppy.

🌟 Feeling stuck? Trapped? Puppies change your lifestyle in ways you can't always predict. You can’t just get up and go like before, especially when your pup isn't fully vaccinated yet or dealing with health issues. It’s easy to feel isolated, even when you're doing everything 'right.'

💕 Guess what? It's okay to feel this way. Puppy blues are real—many people experience these emotions when adjusting to life with a new dog. You might be missing your old freedom or struggling with the expense and care, but that doesn’t mean you made a mistake.

🎯 Remember, puppies are a lot like kids. There are good days, hard days, and everything in between. The key is to give yourself grace. It will get better with time, as your bond grows and your pup matures.

🚶‍♀️ Tip: You don’t have to be cooped up! Try finding puppy-friendly places without lots of dogs for short outings or set up fun indoor activities for stimulation.

🍿 Does your puppy give you those big eyes begging for snacks? My own pup, Foxy, was definitely guilty of that, especially when there’s popcorn involved! 🐾 But with a few easy steps, we’ve turned those begging moments into calm mealtimes.✨

When I first noticed Foxy begging, I knew I had to do something. Now, after practicing some simple training, here’s how I helped them stay calm and relaxed during mealtimes:

🐶 Teach a “Place” Cue: Help your puppy learn to go to a designated spot during meals.
🐶 Stay Consistent: Avoid giving in to those puppy eyes!
🐶 Engaging Toy: Keep them busy with a puzzle toy or chew during mealtime.

Now, meals are peaceful again, and Foxy knows exactly where to go during dinner. 🍽️

🍲 Drop a bowl emoji if your puppy is a food beggar too!👇

Is your puppy afraid of the vet.mp4

🐾 Is your puppy afraid of the vet? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with three simple tips to help your pup feel calm and confident at their next appointment! 👇 1️⃣ Practice handling at home: Gently touch your puppy’s paws, ears, and mouth while giving treats. This makes vet exams feel less scary. 2️⃣ Use a pen cap for desensitization: Lightly tap or touch different parts of their body with a pen cap and reward them. This helps them get used to being examined. 3️⃣ Teach calm during restraint: Practice holding your puppy still for short periods while giving treats. It prepares them for being handled at the vet. ✨ Bonus Tip: Make the vet a fun place by doing 'happy visits'—just stop by for treats and no exams!

Bite Inhibition.mp4

Puppy bites can be sharp! Ouch! 😣 But don't worry—bite inhibition training can help. Check out my quick video tip below to get started. Need more step-by-step guidance? My free e-book, 'Puppy Huddle,' has a full section on bite inhibition and so much more! https://buff.ly/3X6C0xN 📕 #PuppyBiting #BiteInhibition #PuppyTraining #NewPuppyOwner #DogTrainingTips

Does your puppy go nuts over food time? Try this to help teach your puppy that sitting or all four paws on the ground = food deliver! First work on no jumping up. Next work on a stay cue with a release. Remember that puppies may only be able to stay for a short time so if your pup can only do 1 second, build off that! #puppylove #PuppyParenthood #puppies #PuppyTrainingTruths #puppytraining #PuppyTrainingTips #ReadyPupGo🏁

I was engaging Foxy in some fetch during our family play time. She was bringing the ball back but suddenly disengaged and dropped the ball. She turned her attention to a pad of paper I had on our coffee table sniffing at it. Before she tried to get at the paper, I redirected her attention to ask if she wanted to shred. So I brought out some cardboard from our kitchen recycling pile. Cha-cha joined in. At the end of the shred session, Foxy looked quite relaxed and happy. Paying attention to our dog's wants and needs is a great way to prevent problematic behaviors. There are many reasons she might have decided to shred... it's fun, stress relief, or perhaps a need to complete the predation cycle. Finding ways for her to do this behavior in an appropriate way keeps her happy and our shopping list safe. #dogsofinstagram #canineenrichment #animalbehavior #shredit #dog #DogCare
