In this episode, Andreia and Millie are joined by Jillian, trainer at Mirror Image K9 and puppy expert, to talk all about puppies. Puppy training isn’t about obedience, or how to sit or stay. You are training your puppy with your everyday actions. If your puppy jumps on you with excitement and you pet him, you are training him jumping equals attention. If your puppy barks and you pet him and tell him it’s okay, you are training him: if I bark, I get petted. Puppies are constantly learning, whether it’s from their environment, from socializing with people or other animals, or from direct training. This creates a critical foundation that will set the stage for their adulthood. Providing puppies with the appropriate socialization and basic puppy training allows them to grow into confident adult dogs.
In this episode we discuss:
- Common themes & quick tips in puppy sessions
- Consequences of giving your puppy too much freedom
- Potty training tips
- Introducing the crate
- What happens if your puppy is over stimulated
- How much sleep does puppies need
- Puppy Classes vs. Individual sessions
- Expectations of teaching a puppy vs. teaching an adult dog
