NEW PUPPY SURVIVAL GUIDE: The First 24 Hours! (NEW SERIES! EPISODE 1)
updated
Just like with people, cuddling with dogs is a two-way bonding activity. It’s important to do your best to make sure they are loving it as much as you are! 😜🥰
Do you want to know more about how we can check to see if dogs are enjoying cuddling, training, or anything else? Let me know in the comments!
Tito is our current foster dog! Here’s the original video this was a response to: instagram.com/reel/C2XrJ3_umsZ/?igsh=Ym94bXdsb2RoeGpr
There are a few things you can do to dramatically reduce the time it takes to potty train your dog:
💧 Be really consistent.
💧 Give them more opportunities to go (in the right place) than they need!
💧 Don’t put the responsibility on your dog to let you know when they need to go. Take them out regularly, and if they don’t need to go, that’s ok! When they do, celebrate!!
The fastest, easiest way to help your dog develop good habits, is by preventing bad habits from ever getting started!
If your dog has already learned some “bad” house training habits, your steps are the same but you’ll need to be even more consistent and vigilant. Prevent your dog from “rehearsing” the behaviors you don’t want, by proactively setting them up to do the right thing instead.
You’ve got this 💪
Charlie is a young rescue dog, and while he was in my class, he was still learning that he didn’t need to react by barking and lunging at dogs when he was feeling unsure.
We made sure he had plenty of space, including a fence barrier between him and other dogs and people that might make him feel uncomfortable.
When your dog reacts like this, they’re feeling so frazzled, that it can be very challenging to communicate with them. That is, until you’ve taken the time to build a foundation of trust and understanding with your dog!
Cameron is doing an incredible job of this with Charlie and it’s a pleasure to see this stage of their training. I always loved watching them in class so I thought you might like to see this example too! Thumbs up for Cameron and Charlie ❤️
How many of you are working with “reactive” dogs?
We’ll be fostering Tito while we film the updated version of 30 Day Perfect Pup!! So excited about this 🤩
For now, you can see the current version (which features a whole variety of incredible dogs) at pupford.com/training
You get 30 days worth of guided training advice and it’s always 100% free! 🥳
Have you tried the 30 Day Perfect Pup course? What did you think?? Are you as excited as I am for an updated version?
Instead of forging ahead with something like getting your dog used to a bath, if you take the time to intentionally prepare, you’re SO much more likely to have a smooth experience!!
Here are 2 things I ALWAYS do before working with a dog on taking a bath!
Do you have any must-have bath items?? I love those rubber scrubby things that help the soap get extra sudsy… anybody know what I’m talking about? 😂
Like and follow to see Shade the puppy take his first bath and so much more!

But, if you prioritize communication instead of domination, you’ll realize that NO dog needs a “firm hand” in the name of dog training!
Are there any myths that you realized were totally not real once you learned a little bit about training dogs?
When you find a few things your dog REALLY loves, and especially if you mix it up, your training will likely be more effective!

Inertia has been with us through so many “foster dog” experiences, and she has really grown to love meeting them and making new friends and patiently helping them acclimate to life with us.
But Shade is the first foster that Veronica has experienced since she came to us as a 9-week-old rescue puppy, and Veronica was pretty thrown off… Here’s an update. I’m really looking forward to showing you how their relationship develops over the weeks that Shade is with us.
Remember, your dog is not required to like other dogs 😜 Take the time to introduce them at their own pace, and if either dog is feeling uncomfortable, advocate for them!
