🐶💕 What I Focus on When RAISING My Puppy
The first months are all about building trust, confidence and good communication. ❤️
Here’s what I focus on with my own puppy:
🐾 Creating routines and clear expectations. Makes it easier for the puppy to know what is expected. 🗓️
🐾 Positive socialisation with people and other dogs. Take it nice and slow, meet dogs in the distance. (I don't walk up to everyone I meet in mercadona 🫣)
🐾 Environmental training to build confidence in different situations. Time and patience. 🌁
🐾 House training — with patience, because every puppy develops at their own pace!
Routines, I bring out the puppy at the same time everyday with maximum 2 hours in-between when I start. 🏡
🐾 Building a strong bond through play and interaction. I want the puppy to see me as a resource and some one to have fun with. 🏉
🐾 Teaching my puppy to follow my hand with a treat. That will make it easier when I'm teaching him different trixt or movement. I want my puppy close to me. 🍬
🐾 Practising recall while keeping my puppy safely on a lead. I only let the run free when I know there is no distraction in the beginning for a successful recall that I by time take use with a lot of distractions. 🐕💨
🐾 Teaching calmness and how to relax both indoors and outdoors. I stay calm with the puppy and have zero expectations, just relax. Might do some massage and talk really slow to calm down the situation. 😌
🐾 Making car rides a safe and positive experience. Bring them everywhere, even tho we might not going out. I do this because I don't want to have a car ride with expectations, I want calmness 🙏
🐾 Starting alone-time training from day one, with small steps. Closing the door by just going in to the bathroom. I want my puppy to feel safe at home and relax, that he doesn't need to fallow me everywhere 💕
✨ My biggest priority is building good communication first. When my puppy feels safe, understands me and enjoys being with me, we create the foundation for a happy, confident and fun life together.
Remember:
raising a puppy is not a race!
Every puppy is an individual, and patience, consistency and positive experiences make all the difference. 💗💙
This is how I raise and train my own puppy — sharing my approach and experience, not offering board-and-train services. 🐕
But I do offer private lesson and group classes 😄
