Ask A Puppy Trainer Show

Kids talk back…but did you ever think your puppy would?!

When puppies get frustrated, want attention, or disagree with something, they can use their voices to tell you so.

Is there anything you can do about it? Yes! And it’s not just about you correcting what’s going on in the moment….its everything around it that builds up to it.

You’ve walked them, played with them, trained them, basically have been entertaining them 24/7, AND they’ve been having naps — and your puppy is still acting wild?!

Ugh. What do you do when you feel like you’ve done EVERYTHING? Some puppies can feel like the energizer bunny — but in most cases, your puppy does not need more exercise. So what do you do instead to calm the crazy?!

If you have a new puppy you are probably dealing with at least one (but most likely all three!) of these issues: jumping, barking and nipping.

It’s what puppies do, so it’s “normal” but that doesn’t mean you have to just let it go and hope it passes and they grow out of it. (Newsflash: they usually get worse when not addressed vs better!)

Ahhh the dream of relaxing on your couch with your puppy and petting them as you chill together…

Be honest: it doesn’t QUITE work out that well does it?!

Oh the idea is SO good, but there’s some problems here — puppies are excitable, they often don’t want to rest long (and haven’t learned to settle on command yet) and they get overstimulated very quickly. So when you pet them (and perhaps for a tiny bit too long) they usually start biting — and HARD!

One of the parts of puppyhood new puppy parents seem to be the most unprepared for is: puppy biting. Ouch. And that’s because you usually don’t know what you’re in for (or just how bad your puppy might be) until you’re in the thick of things.

Sure redirecting your puppy to a toy can temporarily distract them…but it won’t be long until they’re at it again! So what can you do to actually get your puppy to STOP biting?
