Pawz 4 Learning Private dog training

12/08/2024

Having problems with potty training? I always emphasized that freedom is a privilege, not a right, for puppies. Until they learn to respect the house and its contents, they require close supervision. This means keeping them on a leash and tied to you, in a playpen, or in a crate. By keeping a close eye on them, you can spot the signs that they need to go potty and quickly take them outside. This approach not only helps with potty training but also teaches them about boundaries. When you're unavailable to watch them, use their crate or playpen. Additionally, establish a routine with scheduled feedings, and take the puppy outside about 15 minutes after meals or drinking water. Be sure to reward them with treats for going potty outside.

Today Rain the Cairn terrier puppy came to work on being desensitized to grooming, we worked on her voluntarily putting her head through the leash, touching paws/nail trims, face touched, the brush, and getting used to the sound of clippers

Redirecting is when you get the pup’s attention away from something you don’t want them interacting with by moving their focus onto an alternative item. Redirection is helpful for if puppy is getting nippy/mouthy, or if they have grabbed something you don’t want them to have.

You can practice redirecting your pup as often as you like. The more you do it, the eaiser it will be!

Puppies are cute but they're also an absolute pain in the arse. Don't make your old dog puppy-sit - that's your job!

If you carefully manage interactions and reduce the likelihood of conflict occurring while the pup is young, you're more likely to have a good relationship between the dogs on the other side of adolescence.
