So you brought an adorable puppy home and are all excited to bond with your new friend! The only thing is that your new puppy is learning to explore their new world with… their mouth. While we don’t want to discourage their inclination to try new things and encounter new situations, we do want to let them know the best way to go about it – without their mouth.

🐾 Sadie here, your friendly adoptable pup with a hot tip! 🐶

Did you know? If your dog has already taken our Basic Training class, you can repeat it for 20% off! That’s right - more treats, more tricks, more tail wags. Just use code BTRepeatBasic at checkout. https://animalwelfaresociety.org/canine-training/group-classes/

I’d totally do it myself, but I’m still waiting for my forever person to take me to class. (Hint hint 😉) https://animalwelfaresociety.org/animal/sadie-61989/

Training Tip - Training should feel like a game, not a chore! Keep sessions short, fun, and full of rewards. Even 5 minutes of practicing a favorite skill (like a sit-stay or a recall) can build confidence, strengthen your bond, and end in a smiles like these. 😊

Have a happy training moment of your own? Share a photo of your dog’s biggest training smile - we’d love to see them! 🐶💛

Teaching your dog to remain calm and out of the way while you are in your kitchen cooking or preparing meals is important. Mealtime or kitchen training is often assumed as one of those annoying dog behaviors. So why bother with mealtime training? You’ll be able to get back your kitchen time and enjoy cooking with your dog nearby. With proper mealtime training and patience, this can be accomplished!
