One of the most painful (literally!) parts of puppyhood is dealing with puppy biting! Those puppy teeth are SHARP. Pups don’t know their strength yet, and they can get super mouthy with everything and anything!

We are huge fans of hand feeding puppies when they’re young to engage and work with them for their food. But, there comes a time when pups do need to eat from their own bowl as well. And sometimes certain pups aren’t big fans of that!

Food is a powerful motivator and reward and (in our opinion!) a vital part of the puppy training process! Sure, it can be a little annoying to always need to have their food on you ready to use, and NO this is not a forever thing…but for young puppies food can make your life SO much easier, help train your puppy good manners faster AND nourish a strong bond between you.

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!

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!
