Join us for an exciting, multi-perspective deep dive with our very own Lauren and two super special returning guests, Bill and Jen, as they team up to explore the incredible world of raising, training and understanding puppies! Together, they share heartwarming stories, invaluable insights, expert advice, and secrets to success from both pet dog owner and professional dog trainer perspectives.


Whether you're welcoming a new puppy home, facing common puppy training problems with a young dog, or you’re looking to hone your dog training skills, Lauren, Jen and Bill are bringing you the knowledge you need to succeed:
🐾 Insights on early puppy development, their innate instincts and adorable quirks.

🐾 Top strategies for nurturing confidence and emotional intelligence in young dogs.

In this episode, Lauren, Jen and Bill also focus on how to foster confident, well-socialised puppies from day one, including the importance of building strong foundations, balancing exposure to new experiences, and the power of "doing life" with your puppy and socialising them in a way that avoids overwhelm, stress and unnecessary risks.
