It can be counter intuitive but when your puppy has a potty accident, we shouldn't punish them. You may feel that you need to do something to let them know "this is wrong". Or maybe you know that you're not supposed to punish your puppy's potty accidents but you're not sure why. In general, I discourage using punishment as a form of teaching your p…

When your dog refuses to go outside in the rain, it can be annoying and time consuming. It's even worse when you're trying to potty train a young puppy that isn't going to hold it until the rain stops.

Is your dog trying to dominate you? The short answer is no, they are not. And though that might not come as a surprise to you, what isn't always clear is why it's not true.

Teaching your dog to come when called (recall) is arguably the most important skill you can teach your dog. It's also one that we struggle with the most.

Potty training can be overwhelming. The good news is, one of the first things we can check off the list is getting our puppy to sleep through the night.
