Courteous Canine - Charlotte Don't Complain...Train! I know raising a puppy can seem daunting at times. Dogs repeat behaviors that are rewarding, and avoid behaviors that are not!

I can help make it less difficult and troubling, but instead MORE enlightening and rewarding! - Jill Beitel Owner/Certified Professional Dog Trainer Courteous Canine Philosophy
Courteous Canine employs positive, reward-based training methods. Our focus is to teach the pup the desired behavior in a given situation, and then reward generously, rather than to focus on correcting “wrong” behavior. By learning how to manage reinforcements in your dog’s life, you help teach your dog to offer certain behaviors in pursuit of rewards and privileges. Your trained dog will be a pleasure to have around and will enjoy a stronger bond with your family. In-Home Training
Training takes place primarily in your home, at your convenience. This allows your dog (and you) to feel secure and calm in a familiar environment, and saves you time. Plus, it helps us address directly behaviors that are happening specifically in your home or with your family members. Starting Early—Puppy Training
Courteous Canine can give valuable advice on choosing the right breed for you and your family, preparing the home for pup’s arrival, and how/when to start socializing and training your new family member. Early education is best!! We believe in teaching appropriate behaviors at a very young age when possible, before inappropriate ones become habit. Make the most of puppyhood—use guidance and rewards to help your puppy make the right choices from day one! All Breeds, All Ages
So your adult dog is untrained and ill-mannered? There is hope! We can show you how to break the pattern of “bad” behavior, and positively shape your dog into the responsive, well-behaved pet he was meant to be. Both of you will be happier!

Practicing what we preach! 🐾

One of the things we’re intentional about with our puppy is taking varied walks in different places—new locations, new opportunities for exploration, novel smells, different sights and sounds, and a whole new variety of distractions.

It’s so easy to fall into the habit of walking the same neighborhood every day, maybe even following the exact same route. While those familiar walks certainly have value, if every walk is the same, our puppies have fewer opportunities to experience the world.

For puppies, new experiences are learning opportunities! 🌎

So mix it up. Explore a different neighborhood, visit a quiet park, walk around a shopping center, find a new trail, or simply take a different route. Let your puppy sniff, observe, and take it all in at their own pace.

Because when it comes to raising confident, adaptable dogs, the world is their classroom—and every walk can be a field trip!👏🏼😎

Yes! We are certainly learning and confirming this all over again with a puppy in the family!

Big Boy Bowie! Has (accidentally) learned that pulling hard on the leash get him where he wants to go, so now he is learning, with patience since the rules are being changed on him, that actually tension on the leash gets you nothing/nowhere. I think he’s going to be a quick study!

Wasn’t expecting this opportunity this morning! Timber took his time checking it out, shrugged, got a treat from Mama, and carried on🙌🏼
So important not to rush past new and potentially scary things, and just as important not to coax or coerce interaction if they are worried. Just relax and let them take the lead.

Early exposure and socialization, continued! 14 week old Timber watching and easily walking past storm damage, tree work including chainsaws and cherry-pickers, and new home construction 🙌🏼 No need to get in the thick of it or interact with the workers or equipment—just relaxed exposure at a safe distance is invaluable.

There are some enrichment products that really pull their weight, and this is one of them! From brand new puppy (Timber is obsessed) to senior dogs, all seem to love the Pupsicle. Strongly recommend that you buy the little tray and make the inserts yourself, it takes seconds, saves you a bundle, and you get to control ingredients 🙌🏼
