Puppy Tips

The little things that make the first year dramatically easier.

Name Game

Say their name, and the instant they look at you, treat and praise. Ten times a day. A puppy who whips their head around at their name is safer, easier to train, and more connected to you.

Handle Everything Early

Touch paws, ears, teeth and tail gently every day, pairing it with treats. Your groomer and vet will thank you for the next fifteen years.

Trade, Don't Chase

When your puppy grabs something forbidden, don't chase — that's the best game ever invented. Trade for a treat or toy, praise the release, and 'drop it' builds itself.

Socialization Is a Checklist

Aim for calm, positive exposure to: car rides, umbrellas, hats, stairs, vacuum sounds, children, other vaccinated dogs, being alone, and gentle handling by strangers. Quality over quantity — one good experience beats ten overwhelming ones.
