Not everything you hear about puppy training is true.

Some of the most common advice can actually make training harder and leave owners feeling frustrated when things don’t improve.

Remember:

✔️ Puppies don’t magically grow out of behaviours that are being practised every day.

✔️ Socialisation isn’t about saying hello to everyone and every dog.

✔️ Your puppy doesn’t need an “alpha”. They need guidance, consistency, and clear information about what earns rewards.

✔️ Treats are a teaching tool. As behaviours become established, rewards can become more varied and less predictable.

The good news? You don’t need to be perfect. You just need a plan and consistency.

Which myth have you heard the most? Perhaps it’s something different?

Today we hired a secure dog field for an hour. Cal and Rossi are partially deaf these days so we don’t let them off lead out on walks as they wouldn’t hear us when calling. 

As you can see they had a great time - Cal was full of himself chasing Aldo - not bad for 13.5 years old.

Do you take your dog to a secure field? If so, where would you recommend?

We’ve spent the weekend at a competitive obedience show. A great weekend catching up with friends. Yesterday in the ABC (Anything but a collie) ring Dreya was scared of the Border Collie shaped (small in size) sendaway markers.

After our round the judge kindly said I could let her investigate them. So, I rewarded her a few times for going closer to them then I got her to do a few fig of 8s runs them - turning a scary situation into a fun one.

Most house training problems aren’t because a puppy is being stubborn.

They’re usually because the puppy hasn’t had enough opportunities to succeed.

A simple routine can make a huge difference:

✔ After waking up
✔ After meals
✔ After play
✔ Before bed
✔ Regular trips throughout the day

When your puppy toilets outside, reward them straight away so they make the connection.

Good supervision indoors also prevents accidents from becoming a habit.

House training isn’t complicated, but it does require consistency.

The more predictable you are, the easier it is for your puppy to learn.

How easy did you find house training?

Want better recall?

Start before you ever use your recall cue.

Many owners focus on calling their puppy repeatedly, but the real magic happens in the small moments.

Reward:

✔ Check-ins
✔ Eye contact
✔ Choosing to stay close
✔ Turning towards you
✔ Voluntary returns

These little repetitions build the habit of paying attention to you.

And the stronger that habit becomes, the easier recall training tends to be.

Make coming back the best part of the walk.

What’s your best recall tip?
