5 Things all new puppy owners NEED to do:

1. 🦮 Put that puppy on the ground! While it may be easy to carry your puppy around, it is important that you let them walk on their own and learn to walk on a leash as early as possible! (Of course don’t let them on the ground in public until they’ve had all their vaccinations!) 🦮

2. 🐕‍🦺 Teach them to potty on a leash ASAP! This will make potty training a breeze. The most common complaint I hear about potty training is “all they do is run around and play and then p*e on the floor as soon as we come inside!” Using a leash and only taking them to a designated area to potty will help them learn to do their business first, play after! Always give a treat and lots of praise as soon as they go potty! 🐕‍🦺

3. ✋🏼🐾 Touch them all over! Play with their paws, their tail, their ears, their teeth- everywhere a vet and a groomer would need to touch. Make it a positive experience for them! Use treats to let them know being handled is a good thing. ✋🏼🐾

4. ⚠️ Start crate training immediately! Crates are an excellent resource to have in your toolbox when adding a puppy to the family. Again, make it a positive space and not a punishment. Crates can be used for potty training, nap time, time-outs, and a safe place to be contained when you need to leave. ⚠️

5. 🩷 Maintain a relationship with a reliable trainer! Training in the early stages of development is more important than people realize. It can help set you and your dog up for success for the rest of their lives! If you need help with any or all of these areas, don’t hesitate to reach out! 😉🩷🐾

Leash work is one of my favorite things to do! Here’s a quick video on how to get started. Of course, this is just the beginning and many dogs need a lot more than just these simple steps. If that is the case for you, please feel free to reach out and we can talk about getting you and your dog on my schedule! 😊🐾🩷

There is no magic wand that will make your dog suddenly know how to do everything you want them to do. “He/she know’s better than that” is not a true statement if you haven’t taught them “better”. Let’s work together to help you learn to communicate with your pet so you’ll KNOW what to expect of them- and of yourself! 😉💚🐾
