Welcome to Episode 100 of Your New Puppies Podcast! I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you, my amazing listeners. As I reflect back, I started to think about what I've learned and the things I believed before I became a dog trainer. I wanted to share some key lessons with you because unless you've become a dog trainer yourself, you may b…

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. Now before I totally burst your bubble, I'm not saying you shouldn't get a puppy this time of year (though there are things to consider while making that decision). What I'm going to talk about her…

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 …

Pet insurance isn't the most interesting topic I've ever talked about but it is important. Most often I get the question "is pet insurance worth it?" And I think this is the wrong question. We most often compare it to our own health insurance. But there are key differences that mean we have to think about pet insurance in a different way. Is it goi…

What do you do when things go wrong between the kids and your dog? Something that isn't talked about enough is how the relationship between kids and dogs isn't always as magical as we imagined. It's very common for the kids to get annoyed with the jumpy puppy and their sharp teeth. It's just as common for the dog to avoid or get defensive with the …

It can be counter intuitive but when your puppy has a potty accident, we shouldn't punish them. You may feel that you need to do something to let them know "this is wrong". Or maybe you know that you're not supposed to punish your puppy's potty accidents but you're not sure why. In general, I discourage using punishment as a form of teaching your p…

When I receive multiple questions from my listeners around the same topic I know it's time to do a podcast episode about it. But not all questions warrant a full episode but can still be useful to answer. So that's exactly what I did in this episode.

When your dog refuses to go outside in the rain, it can be annoying and time consuming. It's even worse when you're trying to potty train a young puppy that isn't going to hold it until the rain stops. For most dogs they will learn to tolerate it but for others it may always be […] The post YNP #090: When Your Dog Hates the Rain appeared first on P…

Muzzle training your dog means exposing your dogs to wearing a muzzle in a positive, stress-free way (see resources below on how to do this). This is something that most of us never think (or want to think) about doing with our dog. It's understandable because muzzles have a bad rap and are thought of as a […] The post YNP #089: Reasons to Muzzle T…

Socialization is the most important training you can do for your puppy. It's also the most overlooked and misunderstood part of your puppy's training.

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. Especially because this theory that dogs want to dominate us or some dogs are more "dominate" than others still comes […] The post YNP #087: Is Your Dog Trying to Dominate You? …

Teaching your dog to come when called (recall) is arguably the most important skill you can teach your dog. It's also one that we struggle with the most. That's because we try and teach it like we would any other cue like sit, down or stay. But that only gives us half the picture. Recall is a habit […] The post YNP #086: Why We Struggle with Recall…

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.

When we thing of what our dog's walk should look like we think of them walking by our side without being distracted by anything and only sniffing when we say it's ok. Spoiler alert!

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.

We all know that dogs are great. There is almost nothing like the love, loyalty and joy that comes with canine companionship. What is better than a dog? How about two dogs? Or three dogs?

"Practice makes perfect." We all know that one. Well, it's just as true for our dogs.

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.
