A nice little dog introduction session!
We cannot assume all dogs will get along right from the get go so we need to be involved and help out when/if needed. Here we had 2 dogs that live together and our 3. I decided to bring in one at a time and started with the ones that are calmer and very much okay with the initial sniffs that go on. That all went great so then I brought in Cara (a bit more energetic and aware of others in her space). We kept movement going in the yard which helps with things, didn’t have toys at first and thankful for great recalls if needed in those situations where a dog needed some space. All went well. I encourage my clients to work on this with dogs you know your dog will be spending time with. Sometimes it doesn’t happen as quickly and that is okay. Work on a walk all together, then walking around backyard all dogs on leash. No need to rush it.

A well behaved dog who understands what is needed or not needed in this world does not just happen; it involves you taking the time to teach them.
Helping our dogs in a clear way that makes sense to them not only helps you, but it helps them. It helps them have more positive attention, calmer energy, less stress and more happy moments.
Please do your research before bringing a dog home and once they are there, take the time to learn their language and teach them the do’s and dont’s of this new world they are living.

Holy smokes you guys… is this lady serious that I have to be all good and stick with my human even though there’s all those geese over there being all loud and moving around all over??? Whhhaaattt! This is so tough, but teach is helping my human and I get it all figured out. Phew.. I’m going to be exhausted.

Your dog may not be being stubborn - they need you to show them, not just tell them.
Dogs learn best through clear, consistent actions and guided experiences. Instead of repeating a cue, demonstrate what you want and give that cue context and reward the right behavior. Actions “speak” louder than words.

If it sounds that easy, it is and it isn’t.
I say it al the time; our dogs are a different species and communicate differently than we do. We chose to take them in to our homes, so their success in this foreign country is us! We must be their tour guide, teacher, etc. We must learn how to talk dog to help them and ultimately help us so we can all have a happy and healthy life together. So yes, it is that easy, but it does require learning their language and implementing it into your everyday lives.

I mean it’s science, so it’s got to be true!
I do not think many can disagree, spending time with your dog can be very therapeutic. So try it, whether it’s a walk with your pup, a fun training/teaching session or a nice cuddle. It is not just beneficial for you, but these intentional moments also help keep dogs stress levels down helping them have better days.

Hi all. Oliver here and I want to tell you that yeah I’m small, but I can and want to do all the stuff those big dogs do! I mean just look at me all focused on teach working hard. So glad my humans took me here for my potty issues I was having (that are going so much better now) because now I get to do all these other things with them.

You get what you focus on. What does this mean? An example; your dog is whining and pawing at you. You either pet them or fuss at them continuously telling them knock it off. Both positive or negative attention is focusing on them and the behavior you do not want. If you do not want the behavior, you must not make it work for them. They will continue to do it because you have trained them that it works. So focus on the behaviors you do want and see the changes.

Cara here and just wanted to say I hope you all had the best Christmas and that your pups got so many new toys and treats oh and lots of walks like I did.

Here we are friends; last day of tips to help you and your new puppy! (A day early so you can enjoy that little pup and get started on Christmas Day)
I know it can seem overwhelming, but it just comes down to figuring out a schedule, have some patience and be consistent. Save all the tips I’ve put up and know nothing will be mastered immediately, but keep at it everyday; your pup will appreciate it I promise.

If you are always following your puppy around like a helicopter and saying no or always fussing and saying words to your puppy that don’t make sense, you will have a fussy dog. What does this mean? Yes you will need to keep your eye on your puppy when they are out, but instead of waiting for them to do something they shouldn’t, redirect them and encourage them to head your way instead. Don’t keep telling them commands, saying no, trying to get the leash out of their mouth, etc. If this is how they live their days, this is what they think life will be about and this is how your lives will be. Need help ? I got you!

Day one start with intentional touch. What does this mean? Holding them and working on them not fighting it, touching and flipping over their ears, touching tail, paws, etc. This will make things easier for you if you need to someday put drops in their ears, wipe their paws and them going to the vet where they will be handled.
I like to trim my pups nails at home and if you start doing this day one it will be easier for you and for them. You may just get a nail or two done at a time and then the next day try two more. The more exposure to this the calmer they will be and it saves you a vet visit. Pup struggling with these things? I can help.

Puppy walks are not about them just walking next to you with a loose leash.
A leash is a foreign thing to a puppy and we need to help them figure out the communication that can be offered with it. We also need to use walks to help expose them to all the different sights and sounds and help make sense of them. So many things they see will be scary and unknown so we can help them thru it.
It is also an opportunity to become more important than that leaf blowing down the street. How you ask? Bring food and be engaging and exciting. Don’t let them just pull you all over the place, but let exploring happen and work on having them come back to you when they chase after that leaf and celebrate the heck out of it. Struggling? I can help.

You gave your puppy probably the cutest name so let’s make sure that’s their name and that it does not become No.
Puppies naturally are going to be doing things that don’t work in our homes so it’s easy to find yourself saying No all the time . What happens is No does not mean No and they just ignore you.
It goes back to show them and make sure No has context so then you will find yourself not needing to be yelling no all of the time. Hint; have a leash on your pup to help with this. I can help!

Saying a word over and over again to get your dog to do something just confuses them.
When teaching your puppy, show them more and help give context to the words you do use. Use a leash, hand signals, spatial pressure; all things that will allow you to show them and start making more sense to them. Need help? I talk dog and can help!

You are raising a dog; not a puppy.
What does this mean? Any behaviors that you do not want from your adult dog should not be rewarded or encouraged when they are a puppy. For instance, may be so cute having your 10lb puppy crawling all over you, sitting on your head (hey I hear about all of it), but how does that look when said pup is 90lbs? Okay, so devils advocate; my dog is only going to be 18lbs, so there miss know it all dog lady. Well, while it still may be cute the dog gets different ideas in their head when behaviors like this are okay. So do yourself and your dog a behavior and set the stage right from the get go. Dog On It Training can help.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people making when bringing their puppy home is having unrealistic expectations of what they should and should not be doing.
We have to remember a few things; they are babies and they are also a different species and what they do is natural to them. We have to help our kids figure things out and know they won’t be walking or talking right away. They need you to teach them everything. It is no different with our pups. Walking right next to you on a leash, staying in a command, coming when called, etc. are all things they do NOT know when they come to you and you saying the words over and over does not teach them. It is about baby steps and teaching them how to do life so you can set them up for success. So gather some patience and understanding and dedicate the time to hook them up so you are all happier and healthier! Need help? I got you; just reach out. Lucky for you, I talk Dog.

12 Days of Christmas puppy tips edition; take 7!To help your puppy learn all about this world and become a confident dog, proper exposure is imperative. What does this mean? I’m glad you asked! I am talking different surfaces, different appliances like the dreaded vacuum, new environments, new people, sounds, etc. This needs to be done often in the early weeks and in the most positive way; food helps with this and so do we by being patient, encouraging and curious about what it is. With people, this does not mean when out and about your pup should meet everyone; that is not what life will always be and you need to be more important than everyone else. So get that food, your pup on a leash and help your pup be the best they can be! If you’re struggling, I can help! ... #puppytrainingtips #dogtrainingtips #clarity #slowandsteady #babysteps #confidence #teamwork #patience #happydog #omahapuppytraining #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha

I know I talk about it alot, but taking the time to form a clear relationship with your pup, I feel is and should be a requirement when bringing a dog into your home. They need to be taught how to do life with us. They do not come preprogrammed. What they do is natural to them and living with our dogs allows us so many teaching moments. It’s not just about nagging them forever and always telling them no, IF we take the time to show them how! Showing and teaching = less nagging and No’s. A solid relationship involves; clarity, consistency in what’s okay and what’s not, boundaries and fun!! All of this needs to be done in a way that makes sense to them!

Zora here and I absolutely love that I get to eat my meals in whatever the heck this is. Teach Diana introduced it to me a few years ago to keep my mind busy and now this is just how I prefer to eat. This is a great interactive tool for dogs of all ages to utilize some brain work, and also get their meals. https://amzn.to/3Y74p5C . . . #tibetianterrier #workinghard #fun #happydog #mentalworkout #focus #balanceddogtraining #omahadogtraining #omahadogtrainer #ad #omahadog #omaha

I had so much fun!! . . . #vizsla #imnewhere #learning #confidence #teamwork #clarity #patience #understanding #happypuppy #igotthis #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha

Pearl and her momma working hard on a new communication method! The E-collar is a great tool we can use with our dogs that “speak” their language and allows less pressure. Pearl caught on so well and just looks so happy following her moms guidance!! . . . #goldenretriever #clarity #teamwork #ecollar #clearcommunication #happydog #walkingtogether #patience #igotthis #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha

Miss Koda is known to be quite excitable when walking past other dogs. We worked on helping with the walk last session and getting them equipped with the right tools and correct communication. They worked hard and you can see it all paid off!!! They said it was the calmest she’s been walking past a dog!! Nice work team! . . . #aussiesofinstagram #clarity #teamwork #clearcommunication #walkingtogether #igotthis #happydog #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha

Miss Nala has developed some food resource guarding so it’s been a work in progress. She doesn’t like when people are close and has made this clear with growling and lunging. Her owner has mentioned now that she doesn’t really want to eat out of her bowl. I feel there has been too many conflicts involved with the bowl so I said let’s try something else. As you can see, just changing what the food is in has helped with her wanting to eat. I think she felt too much conflict with her bowl so let’s make it easier and take baby steps with it. She eats fast so the cookie sheet still makes it harder to inhale it. All dogs are different and we must take an approach that works for them! . . . #babysteps #clarity #patience #sosmart #igotthis #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha
