February 21, 2023The First Day With Your New Puppy
In this episode, I share what I did during my dog Dixie's First Day Home on May 5, 2020. I immediately taught Dixie her name, leash acclimation, and set boundaries in the apartment. Notice my tone, words, and leadership skills when I communicate to Dixie in this video https://youtu.be/f-qA1fYUp40.

Here is a link to the podcast episode, The First 5 Things to Teach Your New Puppy.

February 19, 2023Leash Training Your Puppy - Part 2
I use three types of walks for puppies that I train. Each of these walks is unique and can be combined to achieve multiple goals in one outing.
The Training Walk
The Enrichment Walk
The Potty Break Walk
Roughly 40% of your walks will be potty breaks, 40% will be training walks (loose leash walking), and 20% will be enrichment walks.

January 29, 2023Leash Training Your Puppy - Part 1
In this episode, I discuss one of the chapters of my new book, Leash Training Your Puppy, which will be available by the end of February 2023. To get on my mailing list for updates on the book release date, go to PuppyTraining.dog.

The most important tip for starting the loose leash walking journey with your puppy is to stay in the moment. Learn to be connected to your puppy through the leash. Don’t let personal distractions get in the way of a stress-free walk. Put the phone away and focus on your puppy. This is the proper mindset. (this is the first paragraph from my new book, Leash Training Your Puppy, which will be available by the end of February 2023. )

December 07, 2022How Old is Your Dog in Human Years?
I recently received an email from Dr. Leslie Brooks DVM, MPH, and a Vet Advisor for Betterpet. She sent me some information on a new tool that she helped create called The Dog Age Calculator. She went on to say that many pet owners don't always know how old their dog actually is and how they should be caring for their furry friend.

If pet parents know their dog's exact stage of life, they can make better decisions about their diet, nutrition, exercise, and health. That’s why my team decided to make a resource like this free and accessible to the public.

Here is the link to the Dog Age Calculator https://betterpet.com/dog-age-calculator/
