Set Up Your Puppy for Success

What should I be doing to set up my puppy for lifetime success?

Reward-based, force-free, positive reinforcement dog training is crucial for your puppy's development and well-being. Reward-based dog training teaches puppies desirable behaviours and strengthens the bond between you and your puppy. Using rewards such as food, praise, and playtime, puppies learn to associate appropriate behaviour with positive outcomes. This approach encourages them to repeat these praised behaviours, making learning more effective and enjoyable for both of you.


In addition to training concepts such as self-control, optimism and calmness, puppy training should include life skills such as positive house training and sleep routines. House or toilet training teaches your puppy where and when it is appropriate to use the toilet, promotes cleanliness, and reduces accidents in the home. Consistency and positive reinforcement during house training help puppies learn quickly and develop good bathroom habits. Similarly, establishing healthy sleep routines teaches puppies when it's time to rest, promoting better behaviour and health.


Proper puppy training is not just about the present; it sets the foundation for a well-behaved and happy adult dog. It instils good manners, social skills, and confidence in puppies, preparing them to interact positively with people and other animals throughout their lives. Training sessions provide mental stimulation and prevent behavioural issues like excessive barking, chewing, and jumping. By investing time and effort in dog training during the early stages of your puppy's life, you can be reassured of your dog's long-term happiness and integration into the family, fostering a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
