🎓 Training Tip for Puppy Parents 🐾

Unwanted puppy behaviours, such as jumping up, mouthing, biting clothing, barking for connection, or chewing inappropriate items, are normal and expected in young puppies. They’re still learning how to navigate their environment and our human world.

These behaviours often happen due to frustration, fatigue, unmet needs, or overstimulation.

In most cases, the puppy isn’t being “naughty” — they’re using behaviour that’s worked before (from their perspective), to get a response, or they simply haven’t learned another way to cope or respond yet.

The more often you reward a behaviour you want, the more likely your puppy is to repeat it. That’s not luck — it’s how learning happens in the brain.

Each time you reward something like settling, waiting patiently, or keeping four paws on the floor, you help strengthen the neural pathways linked to that behaviour. With consistency and repetition, those pathways become stronger, making it more likely your puppy will do the same thing again in the future.

This also supports your puppy in learning how to succeed in daily life with you, as well as how to respond, connect, and feel safe!

✅ Be consistent
✅ Reward quickly
✅ Focus on what you do want

🐾 The behaviours you practise now with your puppy shapes how they respond later.

✨Friday Dog Trainer’s Recommendation ✨

When your dog is on lead and wants to say hi to another dog, 1 of 2 things may happen:

1) they don’t get on and have an unpleasant experience 😖; or
2) they do get on and fancy a play, resulting in tangled leads and chaos 🤪

Which is why I recommend sticking to the 3-second rule:
💫 As long as both dogs are calm and under control (and both owners are ok with it!)
➡️ allow both dogs to sniff each other for 3 seconds
➡️ tell them that’s plenty and continue on your walk.

⏱️ 3 seconds is just enough time to get the information your dog needs from the other dog - age, s*x, health etc - without it turning into an interaction. Good or bad.

Heading off an interaction before it turns sour or chaotic keeps things positive without setting up the expectation every dog might be a playmate.

And remember: you don’t have to let your dog say hi to everyone dog they see. It’ll be easier to get from A to B for you both if you don’t 😅

🤗 Share with someone who’s dog HAS to say hi to every dog on walk

📢 Tell me: what does your dog think of other dogs on lead? 🧐

And…if you don’t already…

“He knows he is wrong, just look how guilty he looks”. We all say this. It’s important though to know that it’s not true. Dogs don’t feel guilt. If they look guilty to you, they are offering appeasement behaviours as they they can see/feel your disapproval.
