A couple times a week, these guys get a little whipped cream. I joke that learning how to eat it politely is a life skill in this houseā¦.but joking aside, the real lesson is waiting your turn.
Jett is almost 15 weeks old and is still learning the rules, so during moments like this he hangs out behind the gate. He hasnāt quite mastered not jumping on the big dogs when heās excited (getting whipped cream will do that), and thatās okay. For now, he practices patience and turn-taking from a little distance.
When you bring a puppy, or any dog whoās still learning, into a home with other dogs, itās important to protect those relationships early. Allowing a young dog to climb on or overwhelm the adult dogs doesnāt help anyone. Thoughtful management like this is how you can teach dogs respect, boundaries, and how to manage excitement.
Once Jett develops the understanding not to jump on the other dogs, he will be eating his whipped cream right next to them. Heāll get there. Until then, we keep teaching the skills that matter.
