Well done to Teddy, Gracie, Ruby, and Bailey for completing their puppy course.
The great thing about the puppy group is watching the puppies also learn from each other. Gracie was a little nervous when she started, but Bailey showed her how to be a bit braver. Teddy and Roxy matched each other’s energy and play style. This helped Roxy be more confident in approaching other puppies. Knowing how to interpret your dog's body language and trusting them just a little bit more builds a strong bond. That’s what puppy class is really about at good dog coaching.

Small dogs can lose agency very quickly. Despite asking for space they are often ignored or even laughed at. It's no wonder they get defensive and worried by people. Does your small dog struggle in the world? We can help with that, drop us a line in the comments.

Learn what your puppy is trying to tell you by understanding a dogs body language.
A wagging tail isn't always a sign of happiness, and rolling on their back doesn't necessarily mean a dog wants their belly scratched.
Training your puppy needs to start with being able to communicate, and that means speaking the same language.
Starting off on the right foot will build trust and co-operation between you and your new puppy. Making training and management a whole lot easier!

I STILL NEEDED MY MOM

THE CONSEQUENCES OF TAKING PUPS TOO YOUNG

The early life experiences of a puppy are so important and have a significant influence on how that pup develops - emotionally, mentally, socially and physically.

There are still many so-called “breeders” that allow pups to be taken away at 6 weeks.

Uninformed people just accept this without question and are often unprepared for the consequences.

Just because a puppy may no longer physically depend on mom for food doesn’t mean they are ready to cope emotionally, without the security of their family unit, in a strange new home.

A 6-week-old puppy is still very reliant on mom and their littermates to learn appropriate play behaviour, impulse control, frustration tolerance, bite inhibition, self-confidence and develop the social skills that will help them grow into well-adjusted adults.

Although 8 weeks is the bare minimum that a reputable breeder will allow their pups to leave, some will keep their puppies until 10 or 12 weeks of age, but also make sure that proper, age-appropriate socialisation and habituation is provided.

Habituation is getting a puppy used to different things in an environment in a positive way, at the right developmental time. This could look like introducing different objects, noises, sounds, smells, different textures, places etc, so the puppy learns that these things are not something to be afraid of.

However, we don’t live an in ideal world and having to care for or rescue pups much younger than 8 weeks is often unavoidable due to different circumstances.

In these cases, we need to do what we can and hope for the best.

This post is not about this kind of situation, it’s about spreading knowledge, creating awareness, understanding and encouraging people not to support unethical, irresponsible breeders that allow their pups to leave too early, with no regard for their wellbeing or development.
