Overstimulation leads to nipping, zoomies, and barking.
A calm-down zone gives your puppy a predictable place to reset. 🐶

Understanding “antecedents” can simplify your life with a puppy. These are environmental cues like your movement or routine that influence behavior. Adjusting them can lead to better training outcomes.

A marker word (“YES!”) shows your puppy the exact moment they did the right thing.
This makes learning faster and clearer. 🐾

Puppy behaviors aren’t random — they follow patterns.
Track what happened before, during, and after a behavior and clarity appears fast.

After observing other dogs treat it calmly (social facilitation), her emotional state shifted from fear to curiosity.

Safety → confidence.

In this week’s class, our ambassadors worked on “Look,” “Touch,” and “Sit". Skills that build communication.

We finished with food puzzles to stretch those canine brains. 🧠🐕

Using the same treat too often? 🍪
It can lose its power over time.
Switching things up keeps your dog engaged and motivated to learn! 🐾
