This is one of the most important parts of house training. Set a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and crate time. Note how frequently your puppy is needing to go to the bathroom. Consistency is key to reinforcing good bathroom habits.

✨ Reward Good Behavior ✨

Whenever your dog behaves appropriately around guests, make sure to reward them for it! (Even if it's just four feet on the floor!) Positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to teach desired behaviors and ensure that your pup continues to keep their paws off people.

🐾 Keep Pups Calm when Greeting Visitors 🐾

If your pup starts getting too excited when someone comes over, remove them until they have calmed down. For very excited dogs, it can be helpful to proactively remove them for around 30 minutes when your visitor first arrives. Giving your dog a stuffed Kong, lick mat, or something great to chew on during this time can make this an enjoyable routine for them.

‼ Teach Incompatible Behaviors ‼

Teaching your pup to perform a behavior incompatible with jumping, such as sit is one of the best ways to prevent them from jumping up on people. When you have a guest over, ask them to wait before entering the room. Once your dog sits, the guest can enter. This will help reinforce the idea that they won’t gain any access to the visitor until they are in a sitting position.

🐾 Train Before Guests Come 🐾

Doing obedience exercises such as sit and stay before introducing your pup to guests can help prevent them from jumping when meeting new people. This will help them stay focused on you and not the visitor, so they won’t be as likely to start jumping around.

🐾 No need for expensive equipment. 🐾

Some activities with your dog necessitate the presence of other people, other dogs, or a large amount of supplementary equipment. Not so with Scent Work!

This sport can be done in a variety of settings, including indoors and outdoors, to expose the dog to new sights, sounds, and smells in a controlled context.

You can try it with your dog anywhere - in your home, in the yard, in the neighborhood, or at the park - all you’ll need is the essential oil-infused hide.

🐾 Scent Work is appropriate for all dogs. 🐾

Every dog can participate in this sport, regardless of their age, breed, or physical ability. It focuses on the dog’s nose rather than sprinting or jumping over obstacles.

In scent work every dog can shine. Your dog can work at their own speed as they seek out the hidden odor.

Scent Work can be done by dogs who are blind, deaf and even missing a limb. It’s a low-impact sport that dogs of all ages and physical abilities can enjoy, making it an excellent choice for senior dogs or those with physical limitations.
