Imagine for a minute you having your door left open and your dog not just making a mad dash out of it. You leave food on the counter and walk out of the room and the food is still there when you get back. You can keep your trash can on the floor where it belongs because you have no worries of a little dog thief making their way into it.
All of that is possible if you truly take the time and are consistent with your dog in showing them how to do life with you.
I want our dogs to not have to be fussed with or micromanaged their whole lives. They are smart creatures and with clear communication and us being consistent they can live a life knowing what to do and not do without being talked to about it.

Yo it’s Scout and for real this is the calmest I think I have ever been. Teach has seen my crazy at every session and I heard her and my humans chatting about how this is what I need so we are all happier in this house. I mean it feels pretty good, I can’t lie. And I love my throne they got me. I could get down with this.

Train the dog you want, not just the puppy you have. 🐶
They are so cute and little and new to your home so I get it is easy to let things slide because “they’re just a puppy”, but those habits grow up with them and become unwanted behaviors. Every interaction we have with them is shaping the adult dog they will become.
DO:
🐾 Reward calm behavior early.
🐾 Set clear boundaries from the start.
🐾 Practice intentional holding and handling to prepare
them for vet visits, grooming and everyday life.
🐾 Make sure to have multiple kennel times throughout
day to help with separation anxiety and potty
training.
🐾 Get some food and get out in the world to help
expose them to different sounds, things, etc.
DON’T:
🚫 Let biting, nipping or jumping be okay because it’s
cute right now.
🚫 Always fuss or give too much attention; they need
build confidence and independence.
🚫 Don’t let them blow you off to say hi to everyone or
just let everyone say hello to them. You must be
more important than everything else.
These are just a few, but remember they are little sponges, so make sure they are soaking up all the good stuff.

Yes you guys: look at me just chillin walking next to my human. This is tough because I am a bit nervous and I always like other dogs to know I am here. My human and I are learning all about how they can help me so I feel more confident and not so loony when I see my fellow friends.

Dogs are not born understanding our world-they rely on us. 🐕 Without clear leadership, they’re left to figure things out on their own and chances are you may not like their choices. Not only that, it leads to confusion, anxiety and them not knowing who they can depend on.
By setting consistent rules and boundaries, we help them feel safe. Be their leader, teacher and biggest supporter.

When you shift your mindset from “commanding” to “communicating”, everything changes. Your dog isn’t just following orders; they are learning to trust, respond, and work with you. Clear guidance, patience and consistency help build that bond. The more you listen to your dog, the better they will listen to you.

Let’s put this reminder on a daily repeat!
If you find yourself repeating commands or saying/yelling no all the time and getting frustrated, try taking a deep breath and show them. I promise your dog is frustrated too and will learn that negative attention and energy is what life is. A leash, some hand signals, food, etc. are all things we can use to teach and show them.
So right now, put this on repeat and make sure to let me know the progress you see.

This may not look like much, but this is what can happen when you give your dog info that makes sense to them. What is it that I am talking about? In the first pic you see there is quite a bit of distance between dog and human. After doing some of our long line activity, he figured out that sticking close to his human was the best choice. This was all done with the 15’ leash still on the ground and no commands or even talking and no food. The power of intent and clear communication.

For puppy owners this part is for you; we need to make sure we got our puppies back by not letting unknown people just swoop into their space. This can be scary for a young pup so we need to make sure new people interactions are positive. Owners, you also want to make sure you are more important than everyone else so you do not want to practice bad habits.
Now for the admirers of those adorable puppies; be respectful of those people working hard with their pups and take the time to ask to pet and be kind if you hear no. It is not your right to be able to interact with them; it is their dog. If you hear yes, please be cooperative with the guidelines to be able to do so.

Happy Friday world. I think I will probably just sleep all weekend cause that walk just wore me out! I mean it was great not getting all worked up when I saw a dog and not choking myself out, but they wouldn’t let me do whatever I want. I know… can you even believe it. I mean I guess they did have times where I could go smell all the smells, but man that was tough. Hope you all have some good walks with your humans this weekend.

Be realistic with your expectations with your puppies!
I love when people come to me wanting help right away with their puppies because it allows me to help them know what their puppy should or should not be doing. Once people understand this, it helps with patience which you very much so need when having a puppy. Believe me, I get it, it has been awhile since you’ve had a puppy and it is easy to compare to your older dog you’ve had. We just have to remember; we have to teach our kids everything as they are growing and they do not know how to talk, walk, etc from the get go, well it’s very similar with our dogs. So do yourself and your puppy a favor and have realistic goals for you both.

A nice little dog introduction session!
We cannot assume all dogs will get along right from the get go so we need to be involved and help out when/if needed. Here we had 2 dogs that live together and our 3. I decided to bring in one at a time and started with the ones that are calmer and very much okay with the initial sniffs that go on. That all went great so then I brought in Cara (a bit more energetic and aware of others in her space). We kept movement going in the yard which helps with things, didn’t have toys at first and thankful for great recalls if needed in those situations where a dog needed some space. All went well. I encourage my clients to work on this with dogs you know your dog will be spending time with. Sometimes it doesn’t happen as quickly and that is okay. Work on a walk all together, then walking around backyard all dogs on leash. No need to rush it.

A well behaved dog who understands what is needed or not needed in this world does not just happen; it involves you taking the time to teach them.
Helping our dogs in a clear way that makes sense to them not only helps you, but it helps them. It helps them have more positive attention, calmer energy, less stress and more happy moments.
Please do your research before bringing a dog home and once they are there, take the time to learn their language and teach them the do’s and dont’s of this new world they are living.

Holy smokes you guys… is this lady serious that I have to be all good and stick with my human even though there’s all those geese over there being all loud and moving around all over??? Whhhaaattt! This is so tough, but teach is helping my human and I get it all figured out. Phew.. I’m going to be exhausted.

Your dog may not be being stubborn - they need you to show them, not just tell them.
Dogs learn best through clear, consistent actions and guided experiences. Instead of repeating a cue, demonstrate what you want and give that cue context and reward the right behavior. Actions “speak” louder than words.

If it sounds that easy, it is and it isn’t.
I say it al the time; our dogs are a different species and communicate differently than we do. We chose to take them in to our homes, so their success in this foreign country is us! We must be their tour guide, teacher, etc. We must learn how to talk dog to help them and ultimately help us so we can all have a happy and healthy life together. So yes, it is that easy, but it does require learning their language and implementing it into your everyday lives.

I mean it’s science, so it’s got to be true!
I do not think many can disagree, spending time with your dog can be very therapeutic. So try it, whether it’s a walk with your pup, a fun training/teaching session or a nice cuddle. It is not just beneficial for you, but these intentional moments also help keep dogs stress levels down helping them have better days.
