Stay & Train Sadie will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. She’s getting more physical endurance and more interested in playing bitey games.
This stage of a puppy’s development can be very daunting for humans. Especially so if you don’t have an appropriate (and willing!) dog in the house to take the brunt of all that shark biting 🦈
I love that MYP Kit loves puppies and is really great at teaching them appropriate play.
However, I don’t allow this fun interaction to happen for long periods of time (maybe 10 minutes total), and I don’t even allow it to happen on a daily basis.
My reasoning for keeping it short and occasional is that it’s important for Sadie to learn to coexist with other dogs, and Kit is doing a great job at teaching her about dog language and bite inhibition, but Sadie also needs to learn that she doesn’t always have access to other dogs in this way.
Puppies also need to learn how to coexist with dogs and just leave them be.
So sometimes, I take on her velociraptor mood, and we work on things like tug, drop it, trade games, etc., so that she can still get her needs met while learning some life skills with a human.

Welcome Nash!! Nash is a 13 week old golden retriever, and today was his first day of Puppy Camp! Daisy is the other golden retriever, she is 9 months old and has been a Puppy Camper since she was 10 weeks old. We thought she might make a good match for Nash since she is typically pretty good at adjusting her play accordingly. Nash is still very young and doesn’t quite have the stamina to play for very long, so we keep these play sessions short! #mindyourpawz #goldenretrieverpuppy #puppies #dogplay #goldenretriever #positivereinforcement #delawaredogtraining #marylanddogtraining #elktonmd #smallbusiness

Stay and Train Day 3
Sunday 02.17.25
Sadie (9 wks) meets Kit Part 2
Kit is my 2yo female border collie.
I adopted her last summer from Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue
Kit LOVES to play with puppies and has been a great helper here with socializing client pups when they stay with us for training.
Kit can be forward but she reads the room very well and backs off when she senses the puppy is afraid.
Sadie briefly met Kit on her first day and Kit gave her lots of space. Today Sadie is feeling more curious and solicited the interaction first!
You can see how Sadie is already learning to adapt her behavior, according to which household dog she is interacting with… Reference her meeting with my Ben on Day 2 😉

9 wk Sadie is a guest in our Stay & Train Program to gain some extra social experiences and to onboard some basic life skills like crate training, leash walking, stays, go to mat, exposure to new people, places, dogs, etc. She will meet each of my own dogs and learn that she must adjust her interactions according to each personality. Here she is meeting Ben, my 7 yo male. Ben is tolerant of puppies but does not appreciate them crawling on him, etc. He will correct for that. Sadie is reading him very well and has quickly figured out he has boundaries 😉#dogtraining #puppies #pittypuppy #pittymix #socializingpuppies #socialskills #boardandtrain #puppyboardandtrain #inhomeboarding #stayandtrain #certifieddogtrainer #bordercollie #positivereinforcement #lima #elktonmd #marylanddogtraining #delawaredogtraining #cecilcountymd #mindyourpawzdogtrainingandbehavior #mindyourpawz #mind_your_pawz

Nine month old border collie (Savor) working on a real life “automatic leave it”
This clip is from one of our Pup School Field Trips that we offer 3 times a week at MYP.
Savor “found” a scrap of dropped pretzel on the floor of the store and put it in her mouth… we used a trade game to get it back (drop it), which was already pretty awesome! But then used this prize as a training opportunity for a Leave It!
Here we are walking her near the prize pretzel and reinforcing her for choosing to look away from it and to her handler.
She rocked this leave it exercise!
We will need to keep practicing setups like this to ensure that she continues the good habit, but look at this smart girlie!!💗👏👏🐾
