This is so important!

TRAIN BEFORE YOU HAVE TO FIX.

One of the biggest mistakes I see dog owners make is waiting until there’s a problem to start training.

Pulling becomes unbearable.
Recall disappears.
Jumping isn’t cute anymore.
Reactivity starts showing up.
The teenage phase hits HARD.

And then we start looking for training.

But training doesn’t have to begin because something went wrong.

Build the foundation before you need it.

Teach your puppy how to engage with you.
Teach them how to settle.
Teach leash skills before they’re strong enough to drag you.
Build recall before you want off-leash freedom.
Practice neutrality before distractions become a battle.
Create structure, boundaries and expectations while they’re young.

Early training isn’t about creating a perfect puppy.

It’s about giving your dog the skills they’ll need for the life you want to live together.

Spend more time building and less time fixing.

A strong foundation now can save you months of frustration later.

You know what makes my natural rearing breeder heart SO HAPPY? Every other month our raw food co-op comes in and every single local family makes a huge logistical effort to get raw food for their dogs. Every single puppy we breed is raw fed by their families. They are all eating a species appropriate diet and thrive on it. Today 3 of the families had an unplanned get together with their Goldens. This is Cody, Sam and Sawyer! One from Jackie, two from Jessie and all from Riggins! I am forever grateful for every family that has one of our pups and invests in their health so much. And yes, they are all spoiled rotten because that’s a Golden Retriever requirement 🤣

Yosh is our three-legged cat who is very much a part of our High Desert Goldens Pack-he actually thinks he’s a dog and moves with the dog pack. He’s also SO good with the puppies and is an integral part of our puppy socialization program getting puppies used to cats 🐱❤️
