The puppy splits are the best 💕 this little man brings laughter and joy each day. Just look at those cute little paws!
When you find your tail for the first time and get distracted from going potty.
This sweet boy was recently diagnosed with a heart condition and will now require follow ups every 3-6 months. He struggled a bit with the stethoscope and we need him to be calm and comfortable to best follow his heart so we got our own stethoscope and have begun working on cooperative care with it. This is several sessions put together and sped way up to show how the process of introducing something slowly and with positive reinforcement can really help.
What are some of your training goals this year?
It's a tiny dog Christmas out here 💕

Why do we reinforce puppies names so heavily in the beginning?
We play Name Game where the puppy gets a "cookie" (piece of their kibble) every time their name is said from day one to help build a rock solid recall. We want their name to equal something super amazing so that when we do need to recall them, they come running! This sweet boy is about 11 weeks old and is still picking recall because it's been so heavily reinforced! Then later we can start to fade the cookie in exchange for play, praise and fun. For now we want him to come running any time we call so that it becomes the most fun habit to come back.

Dinner time food puzzles for everyone!! Oreo even has his crate door closed! The very best pups!
Why don't we feed in a regular food bowl? Make sure to take a look at our previous enrichment series to see some detailed info about enrichment but basically ditching the bowl will help you to meet your dogs needs through enriching their life and using their senses. This promotes a healthy balance of mental stimulation, sniffing, foraging and still uses the same food they would be eating anyways but in a more species appropriate manner. Give it a shot with your dogs, it can be super fun and super easy to add to your routine.

Dinner time enrichment for these sweet babies. Oreo is especially loving getting to try out new food puzzles and super loves when he discovers new little pockets of food. Layla loves a good chew or a lickimat
