The holiday season is a popular time to bring a new puppy into the family. But how we do it can make a big difference in the well being of all involved.

Why your dog isn’t listening depends on a bunch of factors including what your asking them to do, where they are, what you’ve taught them previously, and more. It’s one of the most common questions I get but it’s also one of the hardest to answer. I usually need ALOT more information. From my experience, I’ve narrowed it down to 5 reasons. They are…

Just about every dog is going to have some trouble with the hot weather. For some dogs even a slight elevation in temperature will find them seeking out the shade and wanting shorter walks. The heat itself can be tiring for a dog so it tends to shorten walks and activity. This will result in us having to find creative ways to entertain our dog and …

Is your dog trying to dominate you? The short answer is no, they are not. And though that might not come as a surprise to you, what isn't always clear is why it's not true.

Potty training can be overwhelming. The good news is, one of the first things we can check off the list is getting our puppy to sleep through the night. Potty training overnight is a little different than during the day. Even though they can hold it longer overnight, they still aren't going to make more than 4 hours or so at first. Our goal is to t…

Most of the time we want to use the cue "off" to tell our dogs to "get down". For example, when they jump on us or our guests or when they jump on the table or counter. I have nothing against teaching this cue, I just approach it in a different way. If we think about it, what we really want to teach our dog not to jump up. So, if we need to use the…

Potty training is hard. It can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. Even then you can still have a random accident here and there up to a year. It's a process that we can't rush our puppy through.

Something I get asked often is how I feel about using a potty bell.

Something I get asked often is how I feel about using a potty bell. Stay can be a useful command ("Stay" so I can take your picture). It can be used for safety ("Stay" while I clean up this glass that just broke). I also use it all the time to focus an overstimulated dog. With just a few adjustments you can build a foundation to a stronger and long…

"Practice makes perfect." We all know that one. Well it's just as true for our dogs. When we teach our dogs how to sit we know to start at step one and work them up to a reliable sit in any situation. When we want to change a behavior (like barking, digging, leash walking, or counter surfing) it's no different. We don't usually think of it as somet…

Your puppy's schedule will vary depending on many factors.

When we imagine kids and puppies we think that they go together like peanut butter and jelly (or my preference - chocolate). The reality isn't so sweet. Your puppy and your kids LOVE each other.

If your dog listens to you inside your house that doesn't mean they know what you want outside on their walk. Even if you are asking for the same thing. Dogs are very contextual and need to be taught how to listen even when there distractions. The good news is, if your dog listens to you in your kitchen then you already know how to teach your dog t…

When you are new at watching dogs play it can be confusing.

How do you handle potty training when all the adults in the housework full time? This is a question I get asked a lot.
