Meet Piper...in her diaper! Piper hasn't been spayed yet & was in heat during our #training session. Being in heat can cause your pup to start behaving quite peculiarly. Intense focus on 1,000 things at once, trying to get to every dog she sees and an inability to dial in with you in any real way. During this period (pun intended), it's crucial to already have a strong training foundation in place & for you & your hormonal hound to already speak the same language. That way yo...u can stay one step ahead of her. If that's not the case, this might be a good time to get the training ball rolling. Working her mind will also help keep her less distracted by all those #cute boys she sees on your #walk!

The 1st two weeks with a #new #pup, be it a #puppy or adult, are an adjustment for everyone. He's adjusting to a new #home & #family while you're adjusting to this new critter in your #house. Be patient, take things slow and don't jump to conclusions about him during this transition period. This is also the time to lay out the rules of the house, set boundaries and communicate your expectations. Keep him on a short leash - literally & figuratively. It's easier to set firm bou...ndaries in the beginning & give him freedom bit by bit as he earns it than it is to give him immediate free rein that you'll have to take back if he starts acting out. Go check out our #book on Amazon, "Decoding Dogs: What'd You Do That For?" to learn more about this important phase & how to set everyone up for success. . . #dogtraining #dog #pooch #woof #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #dogslife #dogstagram #dogsofinstaworld #pet #pets #petstagram #instadog #instagood #instacute #doglover #doglife #animals #puppiesofinstagram #bullylife See more
