Ask A Puppy Trainer Show

We often encourage owners to have their puppy on leash inside the home (while monitored) to more easily be able to redirect your puppy, guide them when you need to, and keep them out of trouble.

But, puppies LOVE to chew! And what if one of their favorite things to chew on is the leash?! (Cause it often is!!) We got you!

When it comes to crating your puppy during the day — is there a “right” spot? Should they be in the living room with you? In your bedroom or another room? Should you cover them like you may do at nighttime to help them settle?

It’s possibly one of the most disgusting parts of puppyhood, and actually a LOT more common than new puppy owners may think: many puppies eat their poop! 💩

Ewww, we know — and then they try to lick your face right after 🤢 Ok so why do some puppies do this and maybe more importantly: how do you make it stop asap?!

Making sure you’re taking care of your puppy’s basic needs is of course top priority for new pup parents! So when it comes to water — what should you do? Leave a bowl down 24/7 to make sure they aren’t thirsty? Only give it to them at certain times? And how MUCH water should you give them?

Place is probably the most useful command we teach puppies — why?? It’s essentially teaching your puppy how to be “CALM ON COMMAND”.

How do we do this? By teaching a pup to enjoy going on their Place cot, spending time there, how to relax on it, and how to stay there until we release them. Yes this takes some time to build upon but it is SOOO worth it and can be (not to sound dramatic) - LIFE CHANGING with a pup!

Using food and wearing a treat pouch is essential (at least we think so!!) when you’ve got a brand new puppy at home. Why? Gives you leverage, lets you grab their focus when you need it, and turns every moment into a trainable one where you are able to start establishing good habits from day 1!

But what do you do if you’ve got a puppy who’s trying to nose-dive for the treat pouch when you’re trying to raise a polite pup?!<...

Playpen vs Crate — do you need one if you already use the other? When and how do you use each effectively? Is one better than the other?

There’s benefits to both playpen and crate — but, as always, it depends on your pup’s breed, age, size, temperament AND your lifestyle!

Puppies typically don’t want to soil where they sleep, which is one of the reasons using a crate for potty training is such a huge help! But, for those pups who don’t mind it so much, getting them NOT to do it can be a whole new challenge on its own.

When our brand new puppies are crying, whining or may seem nervous, it can feel completely instinctual to want to comfort them with a snuggle, rubs and soothing voice.
