Here are 3 top tips to help stop your puppy from mouthing you, so you can both spend more time learning the fun stuff! ๐Ÿถ

1) Itโ€™s important not to reward your puppy for mouthing or play-biting. Whenever your puppy bites or mouths you, stop all interaction with them. That will teach your puppy that mouthing or biting stops the fun.

2) When playing with puppy toys, choose larger options and keep them away from your body. That way, when your puppy mouths or bites the toy, you wonโ€™t be caught in the crossfire and get nipped.

3) Find ways to tire your pup, both physically and mentally, so they are less likely to mouth and nip.

Here are 5 quick essential hygiene tips:

๐Ÿถ Brushing your dogโ€™s hair will also help dispense the natural oils which make your dogโ€™s coat shiny and gives it that healthy look.

๐Ÿฆท Aim to brush your dog's teeth at least 2 -3 times per week.

๐Ÿ• Cleaning your pet's ears will help reduce infection and should be completed at least once a month.

๐Ÿฉ We recommend having your dogโ€™s nails trimmed at least once a month.

๐Ÿšฟ Dogs can pick up germs easily around their face and mouth, so it's important to regularly wash their faces.

Do you have a new furry friend in your family?

Here are a few quick tips to help you get started with that all important puppy training.

1) It's important to get your puppy used to a variety of people, animals, places, sights, and sounds so they will not react poorly to them as an adult.

2) Get your puppy into a healthy routine by feeding them at similar times each day.

3) Rather than trying to prevent your puppy from chewing, teach them which things are appropriate chew toys.

If you need help training you puppy, contact our team at TotalDog.com to discuss your needs.

How often does your dog need a bath? ๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ›

The answer varies, depending on breed, lifestyle, and coat.

- You should aim to bathe medium and long-coat dogs every four to six weeks.

- Owners of dogs with short coats should bathe them every one to three months.

However, it's important to remember not to wash your pupโ€™s coat too much. The AKC advises against over-bathing dogs with thick coats because it can strip oil from the skin that aids with naturally insulating dogs.

Let us know what dog you have and how often you bath them. โฌ‡๏ธ

Whether you're considering getting a puppy soon or have just welcomed one into your family, here are some tips that can help make potty training a little less messy!

- Avoid punishing your puppy for having an accident as this teaches them to fear you.

- Take your puppy outside frequently (at least every two hours) and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking.

- When they begin to toilet, use a verbal cue they can associate with the correct behavior eg. 'toilet'.

- Give them lots of praise when they toilet in the right place.
