Dogs will give you heaps of signs as to how they feel. Are you aware of the times that your dog is looking at you? Acknowledge that you appreciate this to your dog.💞

Nearly all dogs need distractions and difficulties "faded into" training. This means that any time you drastically change the setup of your training, your dog will probably really struggle.
Don't go from only training in your living room to trying to train at a busy park.
This is way too big of a step!
Instead, train in your living room ... in your hallway ... just outside your front door ... in your driveway ... just down the road from your house, etc. The more gradually you can advance the difficulty, the easier it will be for your dog to retain the maximum % of brainpower for his task!
Another great post from Spirit Dog - thank you.

Graduation for Sunday morning's Young Puppy Class. A lovely bunch of puppies and humans, which makes my job so special. Here is Romi. Wilbur, Gus, and Frankie. Unfortunately, Frankie (the Rottweiler) was unable to come today and take part in the photo shoot. You are all superstars.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have had to make the decision to have my best friend put to sleep, on many occasions. I am always so grateful that we can make this very stressful decision and have our friends slip away peacefully with the help of our vets. A very special moment.💖

Does your pup understand what you are trying to tell them? Do you expect the pup to understand our verbal language? Do you understand what the pup is trying to say to you? We usually expect far too much from our puppies. Communication is key to puppy training. Try saying nothing and just show the puppy what you expect. You will then have a calm and receptive little pup - and hey, you will enjoy the training a lot more. Let High Five Puppy Skills show you how to get started so that you and the pup are both on the same track - success!!

Body language that signals discomfort may be subtle, such as licking lips, yawning, turning the head away, and refusing to look at the person who pats, whale eyes, or squinting. If your dog shakes *after* being petted it is also a good sign that he was not 100% ok with the interaction! And take note, that your pup may not always be happy with being patted by you or your family either.

Can we expect a puppy to understand our human, verbal language? Can you understand your puppy's language? The answer to both is probably .... no. So speaking louder or disciplining your puppy won't help. You will only raise their energies, totally confuse the puppy and frustrate both of you. 😔😔😔
