Well behaved pups look different for everyone, and that's ok!

Some would look at my dogs on the couch and shake their heads. I take pictures because it's cute 😘

Having a well behaved pup is all about having a set of rules and expectations that work best for YOU and YOUR PUP.

It's about teaching your pup what you expect from them, and giving them the space to learn that in a positive way.

Never judge your dog based on others, figure out what a well behaved pup means to YOU, and then build from there.

What does a well behaved pup look like for you?

🐾 TRAINING TIP 🐾

Make training fun!

Make sure training is fun for everyone involved (especially your pup)

The more fun it is, the more they will want to do it, the more they will learn!

A lot of good manners can be taught through simple fun games! 😊

And the best part is you can teach a LOT through a quick 5 minute game that will leave both you and your pup happy and wanting more.

Not sure where to start or what games to play with your pup?

I have something exciting coming soon that will help you figure out just that!

Send me a DM saying GAMES and I'll make sure you're the first know more info as it comes out!

I believe that every dog deserves a chance to show what they are capable of.

Most "misbehaving" dogs are really just dogs that are acting in the only way they know how, and have never been properly taught the "rules" of how they are expected to behave.

They have no idea why they are being yelled at, and even less of an idea of what they should be doing instead.

As dog owners it is our job to decide what behaviour we want to see from our pups, and then work with them to teach them HOW to do the things that we WANT them to do.

Not to punish the undesirable behaviour, and leaving the dog with no clear idea of what they should be doing instead.

Take the time to show your dog what you DO want, and watch the other behaviour start to disappear.

So, let me ask you this, what is one behaviour your pup has that you don't love, and what is something you can teach them to do -instead-!?

Meet Loki 🐾

We've finally come up with a name for our new little pack member.

Naming is always so difficult for me 😅 It's something that I'm going to be saying for the next 12+ years.

My husband came up with this one, because we are big marvel fans, and also because this little guy is already proving to be a mischievous little brother.

Hoping naming him after the god of mischief isn't going to come back a bite me 😅

How did you come up with the name for your pup?

Looking for name ideas!

We've been bouncing some names around and have a couple that might work but I thought I'd reach out and ask here to see if there are any good name ideas I've missed.

Drop your suggestions 👇 and lets stop calling this handsome dude "puppy" 😅

When we get a dog we are making a commitment to care for them for their entire lives.

While the time they bless us with may seem short on our end, to them it's all they know.

We owe it to these amazing creatures to ensure that we give them the best lives possible.

Including them as much as we can, doing activities with them that they love, and giving them just as much love and companionship that they give us. (or at least we can try 💕🐾)

For my dogs personally that means playing agility in the yard, going for long walks where they can sniff as much as the want, going camping, and lots of enrichment and games to help engage their brain and make life fun.

Your dog doesn't need a professional trainer: it needs you!

I know that sounds counter-intuitive, because I'm a dog trainer 😉 but hear me out!

You're with your dog every day. You know what results you want to get, and your dog is going to learn from your actions, whether you are actively training them or not.

One of my mentors once said...

"Learning is happening all of the time, you might as well be a part of it".

And it's been proven time and again that the most effective training happens in little moments throughout our day, NOT during an hour long class once a week.

You are your dog's best trainer.

All you need is some basic knowledge, like:

◾The different way dogs learn

◾How to communicate clearly with your dog

◾How to personalize training to your specific dog

(Psst! These are all covered in my Foundations course!)

You don't need a professional trainer to teach your dog - you need a professional trainer to teach YOU.

You got the rest!

DM me or drop a "foundations" down below to see if this online course is a good fit for you!
