    How to Manage Jumping, Barking & Nipping! | Ep. 246

    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!)

    Does Your Puppy Bite You When You Pet Them? | Ep. 245

    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!

    Why NOT To Redirect When Your Puppy Bites | Ep. 244

    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?

    How To Ditch The Potty Pads! | Ep. 240

    Puppy pads can be a super helpful part of the potty training process for certain breeds and lifestyles. But if you’re looking to get your puppy OFF from being reliant on those, it can be confusing for both your puppy and you on how exactly to do it.
