You’ve done the hard work at home and in classes, and your puppy is nailing those basic cues. But what happens when you step outside into the real world? Suddenly, your well-behaved pup might seem to forget everything they’ve learned. The truth is, training doesn’t stop when class ends. Just like learning to drive in an empty car park is different from navigating busy roads, your puppy needs real-world practice—and plenty of rewards—to truly master their skills. In this blog post, we’ll explore why it’s crucial to continue rewarding your pup as they tackle the challenges of the outside world.

Are you caught in the cycle of quick fixes with your puppy’s behaviour? While temporary solutions might seem like the answer, they often lead to more frustration and recurring problems. In this post, I explore why quick fixes don’t work and share proven strategies to help you achieve lasting behaviour change with your puppy. Learn how patience, consistency, and understanding can transform your training approach and build a stronger bond with your furry friend.

Ever wonder how your dog handles stress? Just like us, our furry friends experience stress in different levels, ranging from total relaxation to full-blown panic mode. Understanding these four distinct stress states—Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red—can help you better support your pup through everything from nap time to thunderstorm-induced anxiety. Let’s explore how recognising these states can make all the difference in keeping your dog happy, healthy, and calm.

Raising a happy and well-behaved puppy goes beyond teaching them to sit or shake paw. The real secret lies in establishing essential foundations: ensuring they get 18-20 hours of sleep daily, maintaining consistent boundaries, fostering calm behaviour on walks, and nailing toilet training from the start. These basics are crucial for your puppy's development and well-being, leading to less biting, reduced anxiety, and better learning capacity. Prioritising these foundational habits over tricks will set your puppy up for success and create a more relaxed, joyful companionship. Ready to focus on the fundamentals? Let’s get started!
