When we have her out in public “awww she’s so sweet”
At home “what is this possessed demon we brought into our home” 😂

Did you just get a puppy and now you’re wondering if they accidentally gave you the spawn of Satan instead of the cute, sweet little baby dog you thought you were bringing home? 😂😂😂

Welcome to puppyhood.

I see you. I’m living it right now too, but I knew exactly what I was signing up for. Even though I currently feel like I’m in a toxic relationship with a four-legged little bully (pun intended), I absolutely adore her and will do whatever it takes to help her grow into a well-adjusted little lady.

It all takes time, but one of the biggest things you can do is give your puppy opportunities to chill the f@&k out. That usually means having a few setups where both you and your puppy can have some space. Chances are they need a break from you too, they just don’t know it yet.

The first setup is a playpen with a crate and bed inside. We’ve made the whole area a comfy little space where Maple can play, nap, chew on toys, and generally entertain herself when we can’t supervise her. Sometimes I put her in there while I get things done around the house, and other times she chooses to go in there herself. I’ve also noticed after her failed attempts of trying to make Bob play, she’ll give up and go in there to have a play. More often than not, we’ll find her curled up asleep after a little play session.

I know this setup won’t last forever. In a few weeks she’ll probably attempt to launch herself over the pen, but for now it’s working beautifully.

Her second setup is her crate. This is where she sleeps overnight and has most of her daytime naps.

Fun fact: puppies need around 15–20 hours of sleep every day.

I’ll never understand people who think crates are cruel. At just 9 weeks old, Maple will often put herselfee in her crate when she’s tired. Crate training can be incredibly helpful for toilet training, teaching independence, helping puppies learn how to switch off, and giving them a safe space that’s theirs, not to mention, it helps prepare your puppy for vet or groomer visits and times where they may need crate rest after any surgery or injury they may have over there life.

We would love to help you train your puppy ❤�

This is Billie, I’ve been doing walk and trains with her for the last 3 months and she’s come along way in that time. Billie’s mum needed a little extra hand due to doctor’s orders. She had done the right things and had taken her to puppy and obedience classes and wasn’t getting very far and Billie had failed to move up to the next class.

To be honest, knowing Billie, an obedience class would have been far too distracting for her and I think it’s unfair to fail a student when there was no way to set them up for success with so many dogs around. The methods also weren’t working for this team as Billie isn’t that food motivated and probably needed someone to show her how to use toys as motivators and the use of different training equipment.

These are the things we do differently at TIA. We work with the dog in front of us and use appropriate techniques for that dog. Billie still has a lot to learn but she’s still young and we’re slowly building up food motivation and using play to decrease her reactivity.

We have just recently had our first 1 on 1 with mum now that she’s feeling up to doing more with Billie. This is the side of the equation that really helps so I can then transfer the skills Billie has learnt with me to her mum so she can then follow through with her training, this gives Billie more consistency and clarity.

Training walks in conjunction with 1 on 1s can be super helpful for your dogs training journey and helps really cement those skills.

We still have some availability for weekly walk and trains if you need more consistency with your dog’s training 💕🐾

Today marks our first week with Maple and boy are we in for a ride with this little pocket rocket 🚀

Maple has had a busy week full of fun, learning, exposure and lots of napping. These next couple of months are super important for her to have lots of different experiences. The first 16 weeks is a huge developmental milestone for our young pups so exposing Maple to lots of different sights, sounds, surfaces and environments, safely of course, will do her a world of good. What we won’t be doing is waiting until she’s had all her vaccinations to get her out and about.

How to safely socialise your pup until fully vaccinated:

🐾Take them to different places but don’t put them on the ground if it is a high dog traffic area.

🐾Organise play dates with trusted friend’s or family’s dogs that are fully vaccinated and have a good nature and temperament (be careful with the dogs you let into your dog’s life, one negative experience can have lasting effects on your dogs behaviour and confidence)

🐾At home, find things you can use as different surfaces for your puppy to walk across like a tarp, a wobble board, roofing materials (make sure there’s no rusty nails or anything hazardous in them), plastic shell pools, etc.

🐾Introduce them to different noises, if there’s fireworks or thunder, play with them indoors or do something fun with them.

If you’d like to get your puppy on the right track from the get go, get in touch, we’d love to help.

A little break from Maple spam. We have Wally the Weimaraner staying with us for nearly 3 weeks, he and Bob are enjoying each other’s company and steering clear of the little terrorist in the house 😂

So much attitude in such a small body and I adore it all 😂💕🥰

If you have already have a dog and are bringing a new puppy or rescue dog into the family, the worst thing you can do is force a friendship between them.

Bob is a little unsure of Maple at this stage and that’s absolutely ok, what I’m not going to do is tell him to just deal with it and and let them sort things out for themselves.

I am absolutely going to advocate for both of them and give Bob the space he needs from Maple and Maple gets rewarded when she gives Bob space. This is a great learning opportunity for Maple to respect other dog’s space and she’s also learning her name in the process.

Getting on top of this early means less dramas later and you’re more likely to see a friendship blossom when both your dogs know you’ve got their back.

Set your dogs up for success and if you’re not sure how to do that, get in touch, we can help ❤️

I couldn’t be more smitten with this little lady. Focus at the moment is on getting to know each other and building a great relationship with her, toilet training and crate training. Yep, getting up in the middle of the night is unavoidable if you want to minimise accidents in the house but you’ll be grateful you did it.

I can finally introduce you all to the newest addition to the TIA family, Miss Maple. We picked her up from the airport today and have spent the day letting her explore her new surroundings and getting to know her. She is a very sassy little lady and I hope to share our adventures with you all and show you what we both learn a long the way 💕
